The Top 3 Digital Forms for Cosmetology and Personal Care Services

Use digital forms to streamline the completion of frequently completed tasks, like client intake and payroll

Paper forms, filing supplies, and physical record-keeping burden cosmetology and personal care services teams. From the costly nature of physical documentation to their resulting administrative demands, paper forms are simply more trouble than they are worth. For instance: 

  • Handwriting can often be difficult (or even impossible) to read

  • Spelling errors and incorrect math can result in frustrating miscommunication

  • Incomplete consent forms and waivers can result in liability issues 

  • Missing information often leads to incomplete client records

  • Messy documentation can appear unprofessional and outdated

Digital forms present cosmetology and personal care services teams with opportunities to refine their documentation, improve their professionalism, and accelerate the flow of information throughout the business. Your digital forms can be easily generated, fill out, and completed from a mobile device (using the GoFormz app) or online from a computer. Once submitted, digital forms and input data can be instantly accessed by users within your account, making it easy to improve transparency into additional business locations and track the completion of important forms (e.g. consent forms, intake forms). 

Benefits and improvements from digitizing your cosmetology and personal care services forms include: 

  • More modern, professional client-facing documentation

  • Fewer errors and miscommunications

  • More accurate and comprehensive client records

  • Form logic ensures important fields completed, protecting your business

  • Cloud storage simplifies record-keeping and improves form access

  • Fewer administrative demands and a leaner operation 

  • Clients can complete documentation prior to their appointment, accelerating intake

Ready to level up your personal care services operation? Check out the top three forms used by cosmetology and personal care service professionals: 

Client intake forms
Present clients with a seamless, efficient intake process. With the Public Forms feature, a link to your client intake form can be easily posted to your company’s website or shared directly with new clients. The client can then enter and submit their information directly from their computer or device, which will then be instantly available for review and processing. This functionality significantly streamlines client intake activities and presents new customers with a modern, highly professional initial experience. 

Consent forms
Collecting documentation indicating a client’s consent and authorization to participate in a procedure is highly important. Digital informed consent forms provide clients with clear and accessible documentation highlighting important details regarding a proposed procedure or service. Your digital informed consent forms can be easily equipped with dynamic Checkboxes that make corresponding fields Required in response to selection. For example, a Signature field could be made Required in response to a selected Checkbox indicating they have read and consented to procedure details. Once completed, a PDF copy of the digital consent form can be instantly routed to the customer’s email address input into the form, streamlining communication. 

Aftercare instructions
Finally, generating and sharing aftercare instructions with clients has never been easier. With GoFormz, you can easily generate a form and select a provided service from a Drop Down menu. The Drop Down menu selection can then instantly populate a Text field with aftercare instructions for that particular service. After entering a client’s email and submitting the form, a copy of the digital aftercare instructions can be instantly routed to the client for their review. 

Bonus: COVID-19 health screenings
With businesses reopening, COVID-19 health screenings have become a regular aspect of daily life. Digital COVID-19 health screenings help businesses of all sizes and sectors carefully and efficiently screen visitors.
