Answers for salons planning new-client consultations.
It is a pre-appointment questionnaire for contact details, service, goals, preferences, relevant history, sensitivities, allergies, accessibility, and permissions. It gives the professional a consistent consultation starting point.
Include preferred name, pronouns, contact details, and booked service. Add service-specific goals, current condition, prior services, products, allergies, sensitivities, and past reactions. Finish with optional inspiration photos, accessibility requests, notes, and separate photo choices.
Yes. Use the service selector to show a matching conditional section. Hair color clients can see chemical-history questions, while facial clients see routine and ingredient questions. Shared contact, accessibility, and permission fields appear once.
Use separate prompts for known allergies, sensitivities, avoided products, and prior reactions. Add a details field and route notable answers for staff follow-up. The form records client-reported context for the salon to review before service.
Yes. Add clearly labeled, optional uploads for current-condition and inspiration images. Keep consultation uploads separate from marketing permission because sharing an image for service planning is not permission to publish it.
Send it with the booking confirmation, allowing time to find product names and images. Review it before arrival and keep the link available for updates.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free form creation, editing, publishing, and responses. The paid tier only removes the Makeform badge. You can refine the intake, add conditional sections, and share the published form for free.
Responses arrive in the Makeform inbox and can flow to Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. Service choices and tags help staff review new clients, sensitivity notes, photos, or consultation requests.
Give every client a prepared welcome.
