Custom Forms

One of Slick's newest features is consultation forms, and it's something I feel we've been missing for a really long time. We all know the trouble with new clients. We don't know how they're going to walk into the salon. They could come in with box dye or henna wanting to be platinum blonde, or the other way around, really platinum and wanting to go dark. And sometimes we're just not sure what we need to do, or we feel another stylist might be more suitable. That's where consultation forms really help.

I've been able to personalise these forms with exactly the questions I need answered before the consultation itself. That can be things like the client's budget, so you're aligned before you start. Or whether they have any previous colour on their hair, or have had other services like keratin blow-dries, henna or hair Botox. If you know this already, you can get yourself prepped.

I love that it doesn't have to be for every single service. You can choose which services get a form sent automatically. I have mine set for consultations and for models, so a specific form goes out for each. You can also send forms manually, which I think is really good.

Slick also has a range of ready-made templates you can edit, from pre-massage consultations to general health and wellbeing questionnaires. So it isn't just for hair salons. It works for beauty, aesthetics and more. Once your client has filled out their form, it's stored on their profile to view any time you need it.

If you're looking to set up a consent or consultation form, head to your settings and select Forms. Everything you need is in there. It's so simple, and the steps are really easy.
