What must be completed before a waxing service?

Before performing a waxing service, a release form is essential to complete. This document serves to inform the client about the procedure, its potential risks, and their responsibilities. By signing the release form, the client acknowledges their understanding of the service and consents to the procedure. This legal agreement helps protect both the practitioner and the client in case an adverse reaction occurs during or after the service.

While conducting a skin analysis, performing a patch test, or obtaining a consent agreement may be important in certain contexts, they do not fulfill the legal and procedural requirements laid out by salons and spas to mitigate liability and ensure informed consent has been obtained. Therefore, the release form plays a critical role in establishing clear communication and understanding between the service provider and the client before starting any waxing treatment.
