Waxing Consent Form FAQs
1) Why is the client release form needed for waxing?
A client release form protects beauty salons from legal liability should a waxing client experience an adverse reaction due to existing medical conditions or skin conditions. With Jotform, your salon can seamlessly gather signed waxing consent forms on any device! Simply customize the form’s terms and conditions to match your needs — then share your form with clients by copying and pasting a link, embedding it in your website, or having them fill it out in person on your salon’s tablet or computer. They can enter their personal information, tick off boxes to outline their medical conditions, and sign the form with an e-signature. All responses will be stored in your Jotform account, so you can view and manage consent forms in an easy, paperless way.
2) What questions should I ask a client before waxing?
Be sure to ask clients any questions that may protect you from legal liability should they have an adverse reaction to your waxing services. This can include questions to do with skin conditions, medical conditions, medication, and more general questions to help you get to know your client, such as whether they’ve ever been waxed before. You should also gather contact details such as name, email address, and address so you can keep track of client information and reach out to them if necessary — either for appointment booking or email marketing purposes.
3) What is a consent form?
A consent form is used to outline the terms and conditions of informed consent for a particular event, activity, or medical procedure. With a waxing consent form, you can let clients read your salon’s specific terms and conditions and then sign to state that they understand the risk they are taking in performing the procedure. A well-written consent form can help a waxing salon avoid potential lawsuits and protect the salon from legal trouble that may arise if a client has an adverse reaction to being waxed.
4) What are 3 contraindications of waxing?
Contraindications are reasons why someone should not participate in waxing, because it may be harmful to the person. This is usually due to existing medical or skin conditions that may cause clients to have an adverse reaction to the wax or to the procedure itself. So make sure that you ask whether the client understands that there may be contraindications. Though there can be many types of contraindications, three common contraindications for waxing are
-Skin conditions or diseases
-Warts, moles, or skin tags
-Sunburn
