DIGITAL WAIVERS

Digital Salon Waivers, Signed on the Kiosk or Phone

No more chasing paper after a busy Saturday. A new client checks in on the kiosk and your waiver comes up right there: they read it, answer your questions, sign with a finger, and they're on the list. Clients who book online sign the same waiver before they arrive. Every signed copy is filed on the client's record and emailed to you both.

Why salons use a waiver

Chemical services, color, keratin, lash extensions, waxing, threading, microblading and skin treatments all carry a risk the client needs to acknowledge: allergies, sensitivities, medications, pregnancy, what to expect afterwards. A signed waiver records that they were told and agreed, and it records the answers to the questions that matter for their service.

On paper that means a clipboard at the desk, a filing box, and a form you cannot find when you need it. Digital means the client signs in thirty seconds at check-in and the copy is on their record forever.

How it works at the kiosk

  1. 1A client checks in on the kiosk: name, phone, the service they want.
  2. 2Your waiver comes up for the services that need one. The text is yours, with the client's name filled in.
  3. 3They answer your questions, for example allergies or photo consent, and sign with a finger on the screen.
  4. 4Agree & Sign adds them to the waitlist. The signed copy, with the answers, the signature and the time, is filed on their record and emailed.
  5. 5A returning client who has already signed isn't asked again, unless you change the waiver.

Signing from their own phone

Clients who book online or join the waitlist by QR code sign the same waiver on their phone, right after booking, so it is done before they walk in. Staff can also send the waiver to a client's phone from the client's row in the app, or hand them the tablet to sign on the spot.

Each signed waiver is a PDF with the full text, the answers, the signature and the timestamp, kept with the client's visits.

Writing your waiver

You write it once in Ozync, on the web or in the app. Start from our salon template, which covers the usual services and release language, or paste your own.

  • Add up to a few questions clients answer at signing: free text, or yes/no like photo consent.
  • Link the waiver to service categories, so only the services that need one ask for it.
  • Keep more than one template, for example one for color and one for lashes.
  • Choose where copies go: the client's email, yours, or both.
  • Change the text any time; clients sign the new version on their next visit.

Are digital waivers valid?

In the US, electronic signatures are recognized under the federal ESIGN Act and state UETA laws, and a waiver signed on a screen with the client's name, the time and the full text carries the same weight as a paper one. Ozync stores all of that with each signature. Whether a particular waiver protects you depends on what it says and your state's rules, so have a lawyer look at the text once; we provide a template, not legal advice.

Pricing

Waivers are included with Ozync, with no per-signature fee. Ozync is free for your first 100 clients, then $15 a month billed annually or $20 month to month.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a salon waiver?

A short form a client signs before a service that carries a risk: it confirms they were told about it, records their answers about allergies, medications or consent, and releases the salon from claims arising from the service. Ozync collects it digitally at check-in or on the client's phone.

What salon services typically require a waiver?

Color and chemical services, keratin and relaxers, lash extensions and lifts, waxing and threading, microblading, facials and skin treatments, and anything involving heat or tools near the skin. Many salons also ask new clients to sign a general release.

Are digital salon waivers legally binding?

Electronic signatures are recognized in the US under ESIGN and UETA. Ozync keeps the full text, the client's name, their answers, the signature and the timestamp with each signed copy. The strength of the waiver itself depends on its wording and your state, so have a lawyer review the text.

How do clients sign the waiver?

On the check-in kiosk when they arrive, on their own phone after booking online or joining by QR code, or on a tablet a staff member hands them. They read it, answer your questions and sign with a finger.

Where are signed waivers stored?

On the client's record in Ozync, next to their visits, as a PDF with the text, answers, signature and time. Copies are emailed to the client and to you if you choose.

Do returning clients sign every time?

No. A client who has signed the current version isn't asked again. If you change the waiver, they sign the new one on their next visit.

Can I ask questions on the waiver?

Yes. Add free-text or yes/no questions, such as allergies or photo consent. Answers are stored with the signature and shown on the client's row.

How much does Ozync's waiver software cost?

Nothing extra. Waivers are included with Ozync, which is free for your first 100 clients, then $15 a month billed annually or $20 month to month.
