KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of [effective_date], subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice.

If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby granted the specific authority to ensure the Barber Shop remains in continuous compliance with the Michigan State Board of Cosmetology health and safety standards and OSHA hazardous chemical regulations. This includes the authority to purchase required sanitization supplies, maintain equipment, and represent the Principal during any state inspection. The Agent shall have the power to enforce shop-wide sanitation protocols to mitigate client injury claims and ensure that all barbers properly use and store professional tools.
In accordance with the Michigan Right to Work Law (MCL 423.209), the Agent shall not enter into any agreement, oral or written, that requires a barber or employee to join a labor organization or pay union dues as a condition of employment or chair rental. Furthermore, the Agent is authorized to handle requests for personnel record inspections pursuant to the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), ensuring that any disclosure of records follows the mandated Michigan statutory procedures.
The Agent is authorized to manage all aspects of booth rental agreements, including the collection of rent and the enforcement of non-compete clauses as permitted under MCL 445.774a. The Agent must ensure that all non-compete restrictions enforced are reasonable in duration, geographical area, and line of business as required by Michigan law. The Agent is further empowered to resolve disputes arising under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act related to the advertising or provision of barbering services to the public.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

Running a barber shop in Michigan involves juggling chair rentals, strict State Board of Cosmetology sanitization standards, and sensitive personnel records protected by the Bullard-Plawecki Act. If you are unavailable due to travel or illness, your shop could face license suspension or litigation without a legally designated agent. This document empowers a trusted representative to handle your shop's Michigan-specific regulatory compliance, manage booth rental agreements, and ensure OSHA safety standards are met, keeping your business operational and your barbers cutting.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Barber Shop Owner:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Client injury claims
Barber shops include indemnification clauses in client service agreements and maintain comprehensive liability insurance to cover injuries.
Sanitation violations
Contracts and employee handbooks outline mandatory sanitation practices, referencing state regulations to ensure compliance.
Booth rental disputes
Detailed rental agreements specifying terms, conditions, and responsibilities of both shop owner and renting barber are used to prevent disputes.
