A therapist leaves a clinic and starts seeing the same clients elsewhere, or payday turns into an argument about commission and hours, because nothing got written down clearly enough to hold up later. The esthetician contract gives the working terms somewhere solid to point to, including Scope, Payment, and Cancellations, plus the parts that deal with clinic materials and how the work ends. The pages sit under Lora headings with Inter body text, with cool lilac-blue and a sharp yellow-green marking the places that need a decision.

The contract starts by anchoring the work to the accepted proposal and any written notes you both confirm as you go, then moves into how sessions get run and what information needs to be shared before drafting starts. The middle sections cover paying for sessions in advance, what counts as a late cancellation or no show, and how a session pack gets used for things like staff terms, contractor arrangements, room rental, and commission schedules for treatments and retail. The later sections draw the boundary around what drafting is and isn’t, set the rules for photos and sharing clinic documents, and finish with Ending the project, where both sides can stop and the agreement closes with a signature.

  • We use these sessions to turn Ties the terms back to the accepted proposal and any agreed written notes, so the paperwork matches the project you’re actually running.
  • Scope Explains what a session includes and what details need to be provided up front, like booking flow, price list, pay dates, and refund handling.
  • Payment Defines advance payment for single sessions or packs, sets invoice due timing, and notes that extra work gets priced and confirmed in writing first.
  • Using a pack Describes how pack sessions get booked and what pack rules you choose to include, including commission schedules and room or chair rental terms.
  • Ending the project Covers how either side can pause or stop the work, what happens to delivered sessions, and how unused paid sessions follow the pack rules you chose.

Once the terms match your clinic, you replace the names, dates, and rates, then send the contract for online signature. The signed copy becomes the record both sides can refer back to when a client list, pay structure, or session rules get tested.

We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.

What to include in an esthetician contract

PartWhat it covers

We use these sessions to turn

Connects the terms to the accepted proposal and any written notes you both confirm, so the agreement stays aligned if wording needs to be clarified.

Scope

Explains what a session is, how sessions get booked, and what clinic details to share before drafting so the terms match day to day operations.

Payment

Sets advance payment for sessions and packs, invoice timing, and how extra review rounds or added structures get priced and agreed in writing.

Cancellations

Defines moving or cancelling sessions, the clinic’s notice window, and how late cancellations, no shows, or provider cancellations get handled.

Using a pack

Covers what work a pack can be used for, how sessions are booked from the pack, and which carry-forward or expiry rules you choose to include in writing.

What we do not do

States the boundary between drafting and legal or tax advice, and keeps responsibility for engagement structure and payroll decisions with the clinic.

Photos and sharing

Controls if clinic materials can be used, what “yes” can mean, and how permission can be withdrawn without changing the service.

Ending the project

Explains how the project can be ended or paused, what happens to already delivered sessions, and includes a Signature section to sign off the terms online.

Who it is for

Clinic owners and managers in skincare & facials who need written working terms for employees, contractors, or room rental arrangements before disagreements start.

The contract in full

We use these sessions to turn your clinic’s day to day reality into plain, usable paperwork for staff and payroll, including the pay wording that usually causes the most friction.

These terms apply to the project you’ve accepted in our proposal, along with any written notes we both agree by email as we go. If anything in the proposal and these terms point in different directions, we will talk it through and confirm the wording we are using before we draft against it.

Scope

One session is a scheduled working meeting (held by video call unless we agree otherwise) where we gather details, draft and edit live, and review what we have produced so far. Sessions are booked by email at times we both confirm, and your project includes the number of sessions shown in your chosen option.

Before we meet, please send your current booking flow, price list, pay dates, refund handling, and how you record client details and treatment notes, so we can draft wording that matches how you actually run the facial room.

Payment

Sessions are paid for in advance. If you book a single session, you pay for that session when you book it. If you buy a pack of sessions, you pay for the pack before the first session takes place.

We invoice for what you have booked, and every invoice is payable within 14 days of its date. If you want extra review rounds, extra scenarios in the commission schedule, or a second structure for a different role, we will price that change and confirm it with you in writing before we do the added work.

Cancellations

If you need to move or cancel a booked session, email us as early as you can so we have a fair chance to offer the time to another client. Your clinic sets the notice window that counts as “on time”, and you also set any late cancellation and no show fees you want written into your staff policies.

If you cancel or move a session with less notice than the window you have chosen, we treat it as a late cancellation. If you miss a session, we treat it as a no show. If we have to cancel a session, we will offer a new time, and we will not charge you for the session you did not receive.

Using a pack

A pack covers the sessions listed in your pricing option and the drafting work we do inside those sessions. We use pack sessions for the work you ask for in this project, such as employee terms for estheticians, contractor terms for self booking therapists, chair or room rental terms for a treatment cabin, commission schedules (treatments and retail), and policy or consent add ons.

Sessions are booked from your pack one at a time by email. Any rules about carrying unused sessions forward, pausing a pack, or pack expiry are set by you. If you want those rules in your paperwork, we will confirm your chosen settings in writing and draft them exactly as you want them applied. Refunds, where offered, are handled under the refund wording you choose for your clinic and we write into the documents.

What we do not do

Esthetician agreement drafting puts your working terms into clear written form. It is not legal advice for a specific dispute, and we cannot promise that a clause will be enforced a particular way if there is a fallout later.

We also do not run your payroll, set your tax treatment, or decide whether someone must be engaged as an employee or as an independent contractor. We can explain the practical differences we see in clinics and draft either structure, but you are responsible for choosing the right setup for your business and getting specialist advice where you need it.

Photos and sharing

We only use photos, videos, recordings, screenshots, or identifiable examples of your clinic documents if you say we can. You can say no, or you can say yes to private use only (for example, so we can show a draft to our pay schedule specialist for a sense check).

If you give permission and later change your mind, you can withdraw it at any time by email. Withdrawing permission will not change the service you receive or how we work with you. We will then stop using the material going forward and, where practical, remove it from our working set.

Ending the project

You can end the project by emailing us and telling us you want to stop. We will agree the notice period with you in writing, based on what is already booked and what we are in the middle of drafting. Sessions already delivered stay payable, and sessions paid for in advance but not yet used will be handled in line with the pack rules you have chosen for your clinic paperwork.

We may also pause or end the project if your conduct, or the conduct of someone you bring into sessions, makes the work unsafe or unworkable. If that happens, we will tell you what the issue is, stop scheduling further sessions, and confirm in writing what happens to any remaining paid sessions.

Questions about this contract template

Can an esthetician contract stop a therapist from taking clients when they leave?

A contract can set confidentiality, non-solicitation, and client communication terms, and it can make consequences clear if those terms are broken. Enforceability depends on local law and how the clause is written, so clinics often get legal review for high-risk restraints.

Should estheticians be employees or independent contractors?

The right setup depends on how the work is controlled, scheduled, and paid, plus local rules around employment and tax. A contract can document either structure, but it can’t replace specialist advice on classification.

How do you write commission for treatments and retail so payday doesn’t turn into a dispute?

Commission terms usually need the commission base, percentages, what counts as a sale, and how refunds, discounts, and chargebacks affect pay. Clear wording also spells out pay dates and what happens when reporting or booking records are incomplete.

What should the cancellation terms say for booked sessions or clinic meetings?

Cancellation terms usually define the notice window, what counts as late cancellation or no show, and what fees apply. The contract should also cover what happens if the provider cancels and how replacement times get scheduled.

Do estheticians need consent language for peels and extractions?

Many clinics use written consents and policies for higher-risk treatments, especially where aftercare and contraindications matter. The right wording depends on local regulations and the exact services offered, so clinics often pair internal policies with signed client forms.

What needs to be included about photos, videos, or screenshots from a clinic?

The agreement should say whether identifiable clinic materials can be used at all, and if so, whether use is private or shared with a specialist for review. The contract can also let the clinic withdraw permission later and require the material to stop being used going forward.
