Waxing Consent Form

A waxing consent form screens for medications and treatments that make skin lift, explains normal redness and ingrown hairs, and records the client's signature before facial or body waxing.

No credit card required.

Why waxing needs screening

Retinoids, isotretinoin and recent peels thin the skin. Waxing over it can lift the top layer and leave a burn-like mark — one of the most common avoidable waxing injuries.

A short intake catches this before the wax goes on, and the signed consent shows the client disclosed their products.

What to screen before waxing

  • Topical retinoids or prescription acne products on the area
  • Isotretinoin in the past 6 months
  • Recent chemical peel, microdermabrasion or laser on the area
  • Sunburn or broken skin
  • Diabetes or circulation problems (body waxing)
  • Allergies, for example to wax ingredients or pine resin

Reactions to explain before treatment

  • Redness and small bumps for a few hours
  • Ingrown hairs in the following weeks
  • Rarely: skin lifting, bruising or a burn

Aftercare the client acknowledges

  • No hot baths, saunas or heavy exercise for a day
  • No tanning or exfoliation for a day or two
  • Gentle exfoliation afterwards to prevent ingrown hairs

How it works

  1. Attach the form to your waxing service.
  2. When a client books, they get the form by email and complete it on their phone.
  3. You see their answers and signature before the appointment, and they stay in the client record.

FAQ

Do I need a consent form for Brazilian waxing?

Yes, as for any waxing service. It documents the client's disclosures about medications and skin conditions, which is your best record if a reaction happens.

Can clients on tretinoin get waxed?

Most protocols avoid waxing areas where retinoids are used, because the skin can lift. The intake flags it before the appointment.

Is one form enough for face and body waxing?

Yes. One waxing form can list the areas the client is booking.

General information, not legal or medical advice. Adapt every form to your state's rules, your insurer's requirements and the product manufacturer's protocol.
