Before they reach the chair
A structured form puts the starting point, service history, expectations, and visual references together.
Dated, conditional follow-ups organize previous chemical and extension services.
Current and inspiration images clarify the starting point and desired finish.
Tag complex requests so the appropriate stylist can review them.
Built around salon services
Use service selection to reveal only the details relevant to color, cutting, protective styles, extensions, or event styling.
Capture processing history, current and natural color, desired tone, upkeep expectations, photos, and timing.
Ask about density, pattern, routine, styling time, length to preserve, and what the client wants to change.
Gather scalp sensitivity, hair condition, style dimensions, extension choices, sourcing, and reference images.
Collect the ready-by time, party count, venue logistics, trial plans, accessories, and the visual direction.
Consultation workflow
Start with your menu, then refine the form around the decisions your team makes before the visit.
List what you offer and what a stylist evaluates for each service.
Add service-based logic, required fields, and salon terminology.
Link the mobile-friendly form from booking messages or your site.
Notify the team and contact clients when a request needs discussion.

Practical answers for salon owners and stylists preparing clients before an appointment.
It is a pre-appointment questionnaire covering current hair, service history, routine, preferences, goals, and photos. It gives the stylist an organized brief but does not replace their assessment.
Ask for booking details, service, current hair, sensitivities, dated chemical history, routine, goal, upkeep expectations, and photos. Add service-specific follow-ups.
Yes. Use separate upload fields for current hair and inspiration, with short instructions for lighting, angles, and notes.
Yes. Conditional logic can show color history, extension choices, or event logistics only when the client selects that service.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect consultations without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Send it after the inquiry or booking, early enough for review. Add the link to confirmations and state when the response is due.
Let clients share known concerns in plain language without asking them to diagnose anything. Use answers as follow-up signals, not suitability guarantees.
Yes. Solo stylists can use one inbox; salons can add stylist or location fields, routing tags, and team notifications.
Know the starting point before the appointment.
