What should a brow lamination consultation form include?
A brow lamination consultation form should say who the client is, then ask whether they’ve had a patch test for the lamination solution with no reaction, about allergies to perm or lamination solution, eye conditions, recent eye surgery and broken skin on the brows, and whether they’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask what’s been on their brows lately, henna especially. It ends with the aftercare, their consent and a signature with the date. A tint or henna needs its own patch test. Check the final wording with your insurer.
We make Covered Beauty, which has ready-made brow lamination, brow tint and brow henna forms, so we’ve said where they fit. Nothing here is legal or medical advice. Your insurer’s rules and your kit’s instructions come first.
What does our brow lamination form ask?
Every ready-made form in Covered Beauty starts with the client’s full name, date of birth and home address, so the signed form stands on its own as a record. Then the brow lamination form asks:
- Have you had a patch test for this solution within the last 6 months, with no reaction? (yes or no)
- Any known allergy to perm/lamination solution? (yes or no)
- Any eye conditions, recent eye surgery, or broken skin on the brow area? (yes or no)
- Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? (yes or no)
- I understand the aftercare advice given and agree to follow it. (a tick to agree)
- I confirm the information I’ve given above is accurate, and I consent to this treatment. (a tick to agree)
Its note to the client says the solution can irritate skin and eyes and occasionally causes an allergic reaction, and that a recent tint, bleach or other chemical brow treatment can over-process the hair, so it’s worth spacing treatments out.
Why does each question matter?
The patch test
The national occupational standard for lash lifts and brow lamination asks you to carry out the tests the manufacturer’s instructions give, whether that’s a skin test, a sensitivity test or an allergy alert test, and to record the outcome. It isn’t law, but qualifications are built on standards like it.
BABTAC’s Good Practice Guide, from 2016, is the trade body’s guidance for its members. Its patch test list names eyebrow tinting, and eyelash perming where the manufacturer says so, but not brow lamination by name, so your kit’s instructions and your insurer decide. For brow shaping, it suggests a patch test anyway in case you add a tint.
What’s been on their brows
Lamination uses a lifting solution and a fixing solution to reshape the hair. The standard says to find out the client’s treatment history, including that henna and perming chemicals don’t mix and can damage the hair. Our form’s note mentions spacing treatments out, but it doesn’t ask, so you might add questions like these:
- Have you had brow henna, a tint, bleach or lamination in the last 6 weeks?
- Do you use any growth serum or brow product we should know about?
- Have you had microblading or semi-permanent makeup on your brows?
Change the time in the first question to match your kit’s instructions.
Eyes and broken skin
The solutions go on just above the eyes. The standard’s list of adverse reactions includes eye irritation, swelling, hives and allergy, which is why the form asks about eye conditions, recent eye surgery and broken skin on the brows together.
Pregnancy
BABTAC’s guide says to patch test again after hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause, so a client who was fine last time may need a fresh test.
Adding a tint or henna?
Each has its own form, with its own patch test question. Our brow tint form asks:
- Have you had a patch test for this tint within the last 6 months, with no reaction? (yes or no)
- Any known allergy to hair dye or tint (including PPD)? (yes or no)
- Any eye conditions, recent eye surgery, or do you wear contact lenses? (yes or no)
- I confirm the information I’ve given above is accurate, and I consent to this treatment. (a tick to agree)
Our brow henna form asks:
- Have you had a patch test for this henna within the last 6 months, with no reaction? (yes or no)
- Any known allergy to henna or plant-based dyes? (yes or no)
- Any eye conditions or recent eye surgery? (yes or no)
- I confirm the information I’ve given above is accurate, and I consent to this treatment. (a tick to agree)
The henna form’s note tells clients that reactions still happen, particularly to black or “enhanced” henna with added dye. Neither form has an aftercare tick, so add your aftercare as information on the form if you give any.
Because henna and perming chemicals don’t mix, check your kits’ instructions before you put lamination and henna on the same brows, whichever comes first.
How do you record the patch test?
- BABTAC’s guide says to patch test at least 24 hours before treating a client for the first time, or 48 hours before for clients with diabetes or other special circumstances, and never to go ahead with a client who reacted.
- It says to test again after a change in medical history, a new product or formula, hormonal changes, or 12 months since their last treatment, and to follow the manufacturer if they ask for more.
- Our lamination, tint and henna forms ask whether the client has had a patch test in the last 6 months with no reaction, and that question is asked fresh at every visit, never carried over.
- Add a patch test as its own short treatment with no deposit, so clients can book one online before their appointment. Covered Beauty doesn’t stop a client booking without one, so check their form before you start.
How do you get it signed before they arrive?
Covered Beauty gives you three ways to have it done before you start:
- With their booking. Link each form to your brow treatments and it goes out with the confirmation, with a reminder 48 hours before if it isn’t done.
- A private link. Email it, or copy it into WhatsApp or a text. It works for 14 days and only for that client.
- On your phone or tablet. Set a kiosk PIN, then use Hand to client. It shows only their forms until someone from your team enters the PIN.
When the form comes with a booking and the client filled in the same form in the last 6 months, they see their previous answers and confirm nothing has changed, then sign again, but the patch test question is asked afresh. Forms sent as a private link or handed over on your tablet are always filled in fresh, so whoever holds the device never sees another client’s earlier answers.
The signed form lands on the client’s record, ready to print or download as a PDF, and Covered Beauty keeps it for 7 years from the appointment, or from the day it was signed for a form filled in without a booking, while your account is open. See how online consultation forms work. Try the brow forms free for a week, with no card needed. Forms are on both plans, from £9 a month.

Each one is an A4 PDF with every question that form asks (listed above), boxes to tick yes or no, a line for your business name, and lines for the client’s signature and yours with the date. The extra questions we suggest aren’t on them, so write in the ones you need. The forms that ask about a patch test end with a patch test record for you to fill in. The foot of each page says they’re free templates from Covered Beauty. Print them, keep a few on a clipboard, and check the wording with your insurer first.

Questions from brow artists
Do you need a patch test for brow lamination?
The national occupational standard for lash lifts and brow lamination asks you to carry out the tests the manufacturer’s instructions give and record the result. BABTAC’s 2016 Good Practice Guide lists eyebrow tinting among the treatments that need a patch test, so a tint the same day needs one too. Check your kit’s instructions and your insurer’s rules.
Can you laminate brows that have had henna?
Ask before you start. The national occupational standard for brow lamination says henna and perming chemicals don’t mix and can damage the hair, so find out what’s been on the brows and follow your lamination kit’s instructions on what it can go over.
Do I need separate forms for lamination and a tint?
Our ready-made forms are one per treatment, so each asks about its own product and patch test. A client booking a lamination and a tint together, with a form linked to each, fills in both, one after the other, and a form both treatments share comes up once.
How long should I keep brow consultation forms?
BABTAC’s 2016 Good Practice Guide says seven years, so check what your insurer asks for. Covered Beauty keeps signed forms for 7 years from the appointment, or from the day it was signed for a form filled in without a booking, while your account is open. If you ever leave, export them within 30 days of your account ending, as our terms say, so you still have them.
Is there a free brow lamination consent form template?
Yes. The blank brow lamination, brow tint and brow henna forms on this page are free to download and print, with no sign-up. You can also try the same forms in Covered Beauty free for a week, edit every word and send them before the appointment.
