Nail salon consent formfor gel, acrylic and dip
Most nail clients never think of a consent form — until an acrylate allergy shows up. This template explains enhancements in a few sentences, names the allergy risk honestly and says when the salon will not work on a nail.
Nail service consent
The same wording clients sign in Luvira. Copy it and adapt it to your services and your state.
Nail service consent
For enhancements, the nail surface is buffed and product (gel, acrylic, dip powder or gel polish) is applied and cured.
Possible reactions: a warm or pulling sensation while curing, sensitive nail beds and, in rare cases, an allergic reaction to acrylates — it shows as redness, itching or lifting at the nail edges and can be permanent. That is why we work carefully to keep product off the skin.
We do not treat nail fungus, open cuts or an inflamed nail fold.
Aftercare: do not peel or bite off product — it removes layers of your natural nail. If anything lifts, book an appointment soon so moisture cannot collect underneath. Gloves for cleaning and gardening protect your nails.
Please contact us if anything feels unusual after your treatment — strong pain, lasting redness, swelling or signs of infection. The sooner we know, the easier it is to help.
We cannot guarantee a specific result: skin, hair and healing differ from person to person. We work to the best of our professional knowledge and have explained the procedure, risks and alternatives to you. You had the opportunity to ask questions, and your questions were answered.
Questions to add to your intake form
Have you ever reacted to gel, acrylic or nail glue — itching, redness or lifting at the edges?
Do you have diabetes or circulation problems in your hands or feet?
Do you have a nail fungus, or are you being treated for one?
Are you coming with enhancements from another salon that need removal?
Do you have cuts, a hangnail infection or an inflamed nail fold right now?
Do you work with your hands in water often?
Why nail salons need a consent at all
Acrylates in gel and acrylic systems can cause an allergy that develops over time and stays for life. A client who reacts may lose the ability to wear enhancements — and may also react to some dental or medical materials later. That is worth a sentence in writing.
The other risks are practical: over-filing, lifting that traps moisture, and infections from picked or bitten enhancements. The aftercare section is where most nail consents earn their keep.
Pedicures and health questions
For pedicures, diabetes and circulation problems matter: small cuts heal slowly. Ask on the questionnaire, so the technician knows before she starts working on the feet.
Template, not legal advice. Consent requirements differ by state and by service — check your state board’s rules and have the wording reviewed before you use it.

About consent forms for nail salons
Many states do not require one for basic manicures, but salons use them for enhancements to document the allergy risk and aftercare. Check your state board for its rules.
That acrylate allergies are rare, can be permanent and show as redness, itching or lifting at the nail edges — and that the client should tell you about any reaction.
Not yet. Luvira uses it as a fixed template and keeps the signed version on file. Copy it from this page if you want to adjust it.
Electronic signatures are widely used in the US. Luvira stores the signature with the exact wording and version, so you can show what the client agreed to.
