One purpose, one consent
The most common mistake is a single consent covering any use. It doesn't hold: a client can accept that her photo stays in her technical record and refuse to have it appear on the salon's channels, and a form that doesn't separate the two forces you to give up both or to proceed irregularly.
The elements that can't be missing are few: which images, for what purpose, how long they're kept, who they may be disclosed to and how consent is withdrawn. A form answering those five questions covers the practical part.
Withdrawal is the most neglected part. It has to be simple, and above all someone in the salon has to know what to do when it arrives: where the images are stored and on which channels they were published.
