Hair Color Consent Form And Waiver For Professional Salons

How To Have An Effective Hair Coloring Consultation

Consultation is the time for you to gather all of the necessary information to create a shared vision for your client’s hair. This is the best time to communicate openly with your client whether their desired look is possible and what time frame is required to reach that goal.
 

Set Expectations

What are your client’s expectations? Ask them to create a Pinterest board or bring photos of the style/color they’re hoping to achieve. Give honest feedback. Is this possible in one visit or will it require multiple services? Will creating the look compromise the integrity of your client’s hair? Always give your honest, professional opinion about the color & style and make suggestions regarding alternatives or modifications if necessary. Use picture portfolios and color swatch books as needed.
 

Perform Tests

Performing both a strand and patch test will allow you to accurately assess the current condition of your client’s hair. These two very simple steps can help minimize surprises due to a ‘forgetful’ client.
 

Review Timing & Cost

Make sure that both you and your client have enough time available for the day’s services - give realistic time and cost estimates so you both know what to expect. Include treatments & color service additives as needed, depending on the level of damage and necessary repair.
 

Discuss Maintenance

At home care products are not only a great way to boost profits in your salon, but they also help ensure that the results you are working hard to create are not ruined by the use of OTC retail hair products. Teach your client how the products you are recommending in the salon will help them achieve and maintain the look they want.
