Practical guide
An intake form is the first thing a new client fills in, and it quietly protects your business. It tells you about allergies, medications and conditions that change how you work, like blood thinners before a tattoo, pregnancy before a massage, or a dye allergy before colour. It records what the client asked for, so there is no argument about the result later. And a signed consent line, including your cancellation policy, shows the client agreed to your terms before the appointment. Keep the form short, send it before the visit instead of handing over a clipboard, and ask returning clients only to confirm what has changed.
Massage, hair, nails, lash, facials, tattoo and grooming each get their own safety questions.
Turn on health history, a photo release, a guardian signature or reminder consent as you need them.
Paste into Google Forms, Jotform, Word or Canva, or print copies for the front desk.
Use the ready text to send the form link with every new booking confirmation.
