Salon forms for hair, nail and beauty businesses

A salon books clients, asks the right questions before colour, laser or cosmetic treatments, prints a price list and sells gift vouchers. This kit links finished examples of each piece, written for invented Australian hair, nail and beauty salons.

Booking with the right questions

A salon booking is more than a time slot. For colour, the stylist needs to know what has been on the hair in the last year, because box dye or a previous lightener changes the service and the time it takes. Nail bookings need to know whether there is existing product to remove. Lash, brow and skin treatments need allergy and skin questions. Asking these on the booking form puts the right amount of time in the book and avoids a client sitting in the chair while the plan changes.

Consent for treatments with risk

Cosmetic injectables, laser hair removal, chemical peels and some lash and skin treatments carry real risks, and the client should read and sign a consent before the treatment, often with a patch test first. The consent names the treatment, the risks, the aftercare and the client agreement. On the business side, salons need a price list people can read at a glance, a gift voucher for birthdays and holidays, and a booking app or page for clients who book on a phone at night, long after the front desk has closed.

Who the kit is for

The kit is written for hair salons, nail bars, beauty and lash studios and cosmetic clinics in Australia. Some treatments, such as cosmetic injectables, are regulated health services with their own rules, and some states require skin penetration premises to be registered with local councils. Check the rules for each service you offer before adapting any of the consent examples. The examples use invented salons and prices in dollars, and every card opens a finished example rather than an outline.

The kit, piece by piece

The hair history question

Colour corrections are the most expensive surprise in a salon book. A booking form that asks what has been on the hair in the last twelve months, including box dye, henna, lightener and keratin treatments, lets the stylist allow the right time and quote honestly. Add a patch test question for clients new to a colour brand. The salon booking example in this kit puts these questions straight after the service choice.

Consent that matches the treatment

Each treatment with a real risk needs its own consent: laser asks about skin type, sun exposure and photosensitising medications; cosmetic treatments list specific risks and aftercare; lash and brow tints ask about allergies and patch tests. Keep the consent specific, have the client sign before every new treatment, and keep the record. A consent can be signed on a tablet in the salon or sent for e-signing, where the client confirms with an email code and the salon keeps a certified PDF.

Price lists, vouchers and repeat visits

A clear price list reduces questions at the desk and helps clients book the right service. Gift vouchers bring in new clients and cash before the holidays. A booking app or link in bio page lets regular clients rebook from their phone. The flyer designs can be resized from an A4 counter print to a square Instagram post without being redrawn, and the app example shows how services and booking requests look on a phone.

Questions people ask

What forms does a salon need?

A salon needs a booking form with service questions, a client record with allergies and history, consent forms for colour, lash, laser and cosmetic treatments, a gift voucher, a price list and a feedback form. Salons with staff also need employment and induction paperwork.

Why ask about hair history before colour?

Previous colour, henna, lightener and smoothing treatments change how new colour takes and how long a service needs. Asking on the booking form lets the stylist allot the right time, quote accurately and decide whether a strand test is needed before the appointment.

Do salons need consent forms for laser?

Yes. Laser hair removal carries risks such as burns and pigment changes, so a consent with skin type, sun exposure, medications and a patch test record is standard practice. Some states also regulate who may operate certain lasers, so check your state rules.

Can clients sign salon consent forms online?

Yes. A consent can be sent before the appointment for e-signing. The client confirms with a code sent to their email, signs, and the salon receives a certified PDF with a record of when it was signed, which saves time at the desk.

Should a salon have an app?

An app suits salons with many regular clients who rebook often. Sites can build a phone app with services and booking requests; test and store builds need a paid plan, and store submission is done from the salon own developer accounts. A link in bio page is a lighter option for solo operators.
