Across the US, waxing is one of the most popular cosmetological procedures. However, it can sometimes be dangerous. Therefore it is in the interest of both parties to sign a consent form that will protect parties from serious legal consequences if something bad happens during or after the procedure.
This form allows a spa salon to provide all the necessary information about waxing treatment and possible consequences to a client. It is very important because the waxing procedure can be harmful to rather sensitive skin and can trigger some unpleasant side effects.
Before giving this form to a client for signing, a service provider must explain the process, results, and possible side effects of the procedure in detail. Also, the service provider must explain to a client what they have to do after the procedure and how to deal with swelling, redness, and any other common side effects of the waxing procedure. Also, it must be explained to a client which consequences they may expect. The service provider has to give information in an understandable way and be sure that the client understands it.
Also, a service provider should ask a client about any special needs of the skin. If the customer, after hearing the information, still wants to undergo the procedure, they have to sign the form. By signing this form, a client accepts all the responsibility for possible problems connected to the procedure.
If the client is a minor, a parent or a guardian shall have to sign this form.
It is also important to know that in most states, the waxing procedure can be done only by a licensed specialist, and if the procedure was performed by a person without a license, he or she could be sued regardless of the outcome of the procedure.
Filling out the waxing form is an easy task that can be accomplished in a few minutes. Follow this guide to do it in the most efficient way possible.
