Hair Color Consultation Form
Move past a quick "have you colored your hair before" question and straight to the bowl. Screen for known allergies, confirm a patch test was actually done, and keep a timestamped record of what a client disclosed before the color goes on.
Hair dye allergic reactions are usually mild, a bit of stinging or a rash, but paraphenylenediamine, the ingredient behind most permanent color allergies, can also trigger anaphylaxis, swelling severe enough to close someone's airway. What catches stylists off guard is that a client who's colored their hair the same way for years without a problem can still develop a new sensitivity, since PPD allergies can build with repeated exposure rather than only showing up the first time.
That's why patch testing exists, and why guidance on how often to repeat it doesn't fully agree: the UK's Hair and Beauty Industry Authority recommends one before every tinting treatment, while other governing bodies say every six months is enough, with a fresh test triggered by a product switch or an exposure like a black henna tattoo. Whatever standard you follow, insurers care whether you followed the manufacturer's own instructions, skip a required patch test, or proceed after a client reacts, and coverage disappears.
Typeform's hair color consultation form asks about known allergies, past reactions, and when a patch test was last performed before it gets to the color and technique someone wants, so anything that changes whether the service should happen at all comes up first, and conditional logic can flag a client as due for a new patch test based on your salon's policy. Every submitted consultation becomes a timestamped record of what was disclosed and agreed to, the file you want if a reaction happens or an insurance claim gets questioned.
A hair color consultation form collects what a stylist needs before applying color: known allergies and past reactions, patch test history, the color and technique the client wants, and confirmation the client understood the process and any risks.
Guidance varies by industry body and by product manufacturer. The UK's Hair and Beauty Industry Authority recommends one before every tinting treatment, while other governing bodies say every six months is sufficient, with a new test needed after a product or brand switch or specific exposures like a black henna tattoo. Follow the specific product manufacturer's instructions, since that's usually what your insurance coverage is tied to.
The consequences go beyond the health risk to the client. If a product's instructions call for a patch test and it's skipped, most insurers won't cover a resulting claim, and if a client has a reaction and the stylist proceeds with the service anyway, coverage disappears entirely. Reactions themselves can range from mild irritation to anaphylaxis in rare cases, so this isn't a step worth shortcutting even when a client says they've never had a problem before.
Capture enough to confirm the service is safe to proceed and document what was disclosed:
- Client name and contact information
- Known allergies and past reactions to hair color or related products
- Date of the most recent patch test and the product it was performed with
- Desired color, technique, and any relevant hair history (previous chemical treatments)
- Signature confirming the information provided is accurate
Yes. Typeform lets clients complete their consultation form from any device before they arrive, and its signature question lets them sign by typing, drawing, or uploading their signature. It time-stamps the signature the moment they submit and locks the response so it can't be changed afterward, generating a PDF you can keep on file. It's available on Typeform's Growth Flow, Growth Custom, and Enterprise plans.
