A signed consent form is one of the simplest ways to protect your spray tan business legally. It documents that a client understood pre-care and post-care instructions, disclosed relevant skin conditions, and agreed to the service.
If a client later claims the spray tan didn’t work or caused a reaction, your signed form proves you provided clear guidance and gathered essential information. This is especially important if you work with clients who have sensitive skin, active acne, recent waxing, or sun damage.
Beyond liability, a good intake form helps you provide better service. You’ll know which skin types respond best to your Original (aloe-based) versus Luxe (alcohol-based) solutions, which clients need extra barrier cream, and which ones should schedule longer development time.
What Should a Consent Form Include?
Client Information — Name, phone, email, skin type (Fitzpatrick scale helps), and any relevant allergies or sensitivities.
Medical & Skin History — Active acne, eczema, recent waxing, sunburn, or medications that increase photosensitivity.
Expectations — Confirm the client understands expected tan color, development time (typically 4-10 hours), and longevity (usually 7-10 days).
Pre-Tan Instructions — Document that you advised the client to exfoliate, avoid makeup and lotion on skin, and wear loose dark clothing.
Post-Care Instructions — Note that you explained avoiding water for 4-8 hours, skipping hot showers, and moisturizing daily to extend the tan.
Liability Waiver — A simple statement that the client assumes risk and understands spray tanning involves DHA (FDA-approved) and temporary color.
Signature & Date — Non-negotiable for legal protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's not always legally mandated, but it's highly recommended. Consent forms demonstrate you informed clients about the service, documented their skin condition, and explained pre- and post-care. This protects you if a client has a complaint or claims an allergic reaction.
