1. What is client health screening & consultation?
A thorough client consultation is both a legal duty of care and the foundation of personalised service[1]. Pre-service screening identifies contraindications — allergies, medications (isotretinoin, anticoagulants), pregnancy, scalp conditions (psoriasis, open wounds), recent chemical treatments — that alter service safety[2].
2. The minimum you must do
Daily salon client screening checklist
- New client consultation card completed
- Allergy history documented before chemical service
- Pregnancy/medical condition screening done
- Previous adverse reaction history checked
- Patch test status confirmed for colour clients
- Contraindications for specific treatments reviewed
- Client signed informed consent for invasive services

4. Dialogue
🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue
🐥
Piyo: Poppo, what should a salon consultation card actually ask?
🦉
Poppo: Allergy history, current medications, skin conditions, pregnancy status, previous adverse reactions to salon products, and any metal implants (for certain electrical treatments). The goal is to identify contraindications before you start, not discover them during service.
🐥
Piyo: Is verbal screening enough?
🦉
Poppo: No. A documented consultation card is a legal record. If a client has an adverse reaction and you can show you screened for it, documented the answer, and proceeded appropriately, you have a defence. Verbal-only screening is invisible — it might as well not have happened.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — asking the right questions before you start is the kindest thing a professional can do.
