Lash extension consent form template

A good lash consent form does two jobs: it helps you spot clients who shouldn't have the treatment today, and it records that they understood the risks and the aftercare. Here's what to put on yours.

What to include

1. Client details and emergency contact. Name, contact details, the date, and who to reach in an emergency.
2. Allergies and sensitivities. Adhesives, cyanoacrylate, latex, tape and past reactions. Ask directly rather than leaving a single blank line.
3. Eye health questions. Recent eye surgery, infections, styes, dry eye, contact lenses and current eye medication.
4. Patch test choice. Record whether a patch test was done, on what date and with which product, or that the client declined.
5. Risks explained in plain words. Irritation, redness, allergic reaction and natural lash damage if extensions are picked or badly cared for.
6. Initialled statements. Have the client initial each key point instead of signing once at the bottom of a page of small print.
7. Aftercare acknowledgement. They have received your aftercare guide and understand what to avoid in the first 24 to 48 hours.
8. Photo permission. A separate opt-in for before-and-after photos on your social channels.
9. Signature, date and yearly refresh. Keep the signed form with the client's record, and update it when anything changes.

Mistakes to avoid

• Using one generic beauty consent for lashes, brows and facials
• Not recording the adhesive and batch used
• Posting client photos with no written permission
• Leaving aftercare to a verbal reminder

Example wording you can adapt

Plain-English wording for the clauses people most often leave vague. Change the bracketed details to fit how you work.

Risks. I understand that lash treatments can cause irritation, redness or an allergic reaction, and that poor aftercare may damage natural lashes. I will contact a medical professional if I have a reaction.

Health disclosure. I have told my lash artist about any allergies, eye conditions, recent eye surgery or medication that may be relevant. I will tell them if anything changes.

Patch test. I have been offered a patch test. Initial one: [ ] I had a patch test on [date]. [ ] I decline a patch test and accept the possible risk of a reaction.

Aftercare. I have received the aftercare guide and will follow it. Extensions are affected by natural lash shedding, and retention depends partly on my aftercare.

Keeping clean client records

Use a separate service record for each client: curl, length, thickness, adhesive and batch number at each visit. If someone returns with a query or reaction, you can see exactly what was used, and you can repeat a set they loved without guessing.

Send your forms before the appointment if you can. The client has time to read them, and you start the treatment already knowing about any allergies or contact lenses instead of discovering them when they're lying on your bed.

Put deposit and late policies in a separate studio policy page rather than the consent form. Consent is about health and safety, policies are about bookings, and keeping them apart makes both easier to read and easier to update. Licensing, consent and hygiene rules vary by location, so check yours.

Questions

Do lash techs need a consent form?

It's standard practice. It records health information and shows the client understood the risks and aftercare. Check your local licensing and insurance requirements too.

How often should clients sign a new form?

Many artists refresh it once a year and any time the client's health changes or you change products.

Do I need a patch test before every set?

Practices vary. Your insurer or local rules may set requirements. Whatever you do, record the test or that the client declined.

Can I edit it without Canva?

Yes. The forms are Word files that open in Google Docs and Pages, with PDF copies to print.
