While there are numerous reasons why you should use microblading consent forms at your business, here are a few of the most important...

Legal Protection: Consent forms serve as legal documentation that the client has given their permission for the microblading procedure to be performed. This helps protect you, the business owner, from any potential legal issues that may arise from dissatisfied clients or unexpected outcomes.

Client Understanding: Consent forms often outline the procedure, potential risks, and aftercare instructions in detail. By having clients read and sign these forms, they acknowledge that they understand the procedure, its possible side effects, and how to care for their eyebrows post-treatment.

Demonstration of Professionalism: Implementing consent forms demonstrates professionalism and a commitment to ethical practices. It shows that you take your clients' well-being seriously and operate with transparency, especially when the form can be seamlessly integrated into the initial booking process for your business.

Client Safety: As a microblading professional, you know the procedures you perform involve a degree of risk, including the possibility of infection, allergic reactions, or dissatisfaction with the results. Consent forms ensure that clients are aware of these risks and can make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the procedure.

These few reasons alone make the use of microblading consent forms at your business worth it, but where do you begin? Well, keep reading to see how!

The Vagaro form builder uses an incredibly user-friendly, drag-and-drop style interface that allows you to create fully customizable forms, surveys, waivers, contracts, and more! Feel free to choose from one of the eight preset templates or start from scratch to create the form that truly fits your specific needs—the choice is yours!

Regardless of the method you choose, be sure to include the following components in your microblading consent form, as they’re arguably the most important:

Client Information: This section collects basic information about the client, such as their name, contact details, date of birth, and any relevant medical history. It's essential to gather this information to ensure the procedure is suitable for the client and to have a record of their details for future reference.

Procedure Description: The consent form should provide a detailed description of the microblading procedure, including what it entails and how it will be performed. This description may include information about the use of semi-permanent pigments, the creation of hair-like strokes to enhance the eyebrows², and the expected duration of the treatment. Again, this helps keep the communication between you and the client transparent.

Potential Risks & Side Effects: Clients need to be informed about the potential risks and side effects associated with microblading. This section of the consent form should outline common risks such as allergic reactions, infection, scarring, and dissatisfaction with the results. It should also emphasize that individual outcomes may vary and that there are no guarantees of specific results. Basically, lay all the what-ifs out on the table here to cover your behind in the unlikely event of any of these outcomes.

Client Consent: The most critical element of the consent form is the client's signature, indicating that they understand the information provided, have had their questions answered satisfactorily, and consent to undergo the microblading procedure. Some forms may also include a space for the technician performing the procedure to sign, confirming that they’ve discussed the procedure and its associated risks with the client.

Once you’ve made sure that you’ve included these few components within your microblading consent form, don’t be afraid to put a personal twist on it! Include things like your refund or cancellation policies, a personalized business logo, etc. All these things can help you go the extra mile when trying to resonate with your clients as a reputable microblading business.
