1. Overview
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].
| Indicator | Baseline | Target | Time | Measurement |
|---|
| New client consultation completion | Variable | 100% | Immediate | Consultation card |
| Allergy history documented | Variable | 100% before chemical service | Immediate | Client record |
| Contraindication check completion | Variable | 100% | Immediate | Screening form |
| Informed consent signed | Variable | 100% for invasive services | Immediate | Consent form |

8. Owl & Chick & Cow — salon operator 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.
🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Extended salon dialogue
🐥
Piyo: What's the single biggest reason a client screening programme fails in salons?
🦉
Poppo: Almost always: no written owner. Name one person responsible, with a deputy, in writing. Half the failures vanish overnight.
🐥
Piyo: What metric tells me it's actually working?
🦉
Poppo: Two: percentage of records completed on time (target 95+%), and number of near-misses logged per month. You want near-miss reports to be positive, not zero — zero usually means people stopped looking.
🐥
Piyo: How does MmowW Shamp👀 help?
🦉
Poppo: SaaS automates the evidence trail. Daily records, photo verification, expiry alerts — the system does the paperwork so the stylist can focus on craft. When the inspector arrives, everything is already documented.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — care enough to record it, kind enough to teach it, beautiful enough that clients feel safe.
9. International context
WHO, EU Regulation 1223/2009, FDA MoCRA 2022, Japan Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, and UK HSE all converge on the same fundamental principles for salon hygiene and product safety. Country-specific differences exist in enforcement mechanisms and specific concentration limits, but the core science is universal.
