Waxing Service Release of Liability & Informed Consent

1. Acknowledgment of Service & Risks

I understand that waxing and hair removal services involve the application and removal of wax from the skin and may result in temporary or, in some cases, more serious reactions. These may include, but are not limited to, redness, irritation, sensitivity, swelling, bruising, ingrown hairs, skin lifting, allergic reactions, or minor burns.

I understand that individual skin responses vary, and no specific results or outcomes have been guaranteed.

2. Assumption of Risk

I voluntarily choose to receive waxing services and understand that I am assuming all risks associated with these services, whether known or unknown, except where prohibited by law.

3. Medical Disclosure & Responsibility

I understand that it is my responsibility to complete any required intake forms honestly and accurately and to disclose all relevant medical conditions, skin sensitivities, allergies, medications, and recent skin treatments (including but not limited to retinoids, acne medications such as Accutane, chemical peels, laser treatments, tanning, or exfoliating treatments).

I agree to inform the service provider prior to each appointment of any changes to my skin condition, medications, or health status that may affect my suitability for waxing services.

I acknowledge that the service provider relies on the information I provide in order to safely perform services.

4. Aftercare Responsibility

I understand that I will be provided with aftercare instructions and that failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of irritation, infection, or other complications.

I accept responsibility for my skin’s care following the service.

5. Release of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by California law, I hereby release, waive, and discharge the business, its owner(s), employees, contractors, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, or causes of action arising out of or related to the waxing services provided, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct where liability cannot legally be waived.
