Chemical Service Consent and Release

Before a colour, a lightener or a smoothing treatment: what is already on the hair, what cannot be promised, and the patch test answer.

Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Name your trade during setupsalons, spas and beauty servicesand this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use. It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How this works for salons, spas and beauty services

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

business name · guest name · date · service · stylist name · products · expected result · hair history · patch test · health notes · redo policy · redo window · photo permission

13 blanks. They are filled once per send, from what you already know or from your own system through the API. They go into the document; they do not change its wording, and what somebody signed is the version they were shown.

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

check whether a patch test is required rather than offered for these products where you operate, and what the insurer requires.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.

The document

The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

Chemical Service Consent and Release

business name — client guest name, on date. Service: service. Stylist or technician: stylist name. Products to be used: products.

1. What I am asking for. The service described above, with the result we have discussed: expected result. I understand that a colour, a lightener, a relaxer, a perm or a smoothing treatment changes the structure of the hair chemically and that the change cannot simply be undone.

2. History. I have told the salon truthfully what has been on my hair and when, including box colour, henna, bleach, relaxers, keratin or smoothing treatments, and anything applied at home: hair history. I understand that a treatment applied over something the salon does not know about can break hair, turn it an unintended colour, or burn the scalp.

3. What cannot be promised. Hair lifts differently depending on its history, its condition, its porosity and its natural pigment. More than one session may be needed to reach the result discussed, and reaching it at all may not be possible without damage the salon will not do. The salon will tell me where the limit is and stop there.

4. The risks. Chemical services can cause dryness, breakage, unwanted tone, scalp irritation and chemical burn, and allergic reaction including, rarely, a severe one. A patch test is offered where the product requires it and my decision about it is recorded here: patch test.

5. My health. Allergies, scalp or skin conditions, recent surgery, medication, and whether I am pregnant or breastfeeding are written here: health notes. This salon is not a medical practice and nothing said here is medical advice.

6. Redo and refund. The salon's policy on adjustments is redo policy. Telling the salon within redo window gives it the chance to put something right; a result I change elsewhere first cannot be adjusted here.

7. Consent and release. I consent to the service. To the extent the law where business name operates allows, I release business name and its staff from claims arising from the ordinary and disclosed risks of it and from a result affected by history I did not disclose, other than claims arising from their negligence.

8. Photographs. Whether the salon may photograph the result and where it may show it is set here: photo permission.

By signing I confirm that I have read this, had every question answered, and meant to sign it.
