Better pre-appointment context
Give the stylist time to understand the request, spot missing details, and prepare follow-up questions.
Ask what the client wants to keep, change, and avoid, supported by inspiration images.
Separate chemical services and request approximate dates instead of one vague history box.
Give allergies, sensitivities, client-noticed concerns, and accessibility needs dedicated fields.
Adapt it to your services
Choose the closest workflow, then tailor its wording and follow-up questions.
Capture dated chemical history, target shade, and current-hair photos.
Ask about routine, styling time, length boundaries, and texture.
Branch to smoothing, perm, or relaxing questions.
Collect schedules, services, party size, accessories, and inspiration.
Form-building workflow
Check generated questions against your booking process and test every branch before sharing.
Name your services, review details, and answers that should reveal follow-up questions.
Use salon terminology, request dates, mark essential fields required, and explain photo needs.
Preview every service path and confirm irrelevant questions stay hidden.
Send the link after booking, route responses, and clarify missing details before the visit.
Choose the right intake method
The best method depends on how much the stylist must review ahead of time. A generated online form combines consistent questions with room for service-specific detail.
