What is the purpose of a consultation card?

The purpose of a consultation card is to record a client's hairstyle preferences and any relevant information. This tool is designed to help barbers gather important details about the client's hair type, past experiences, desired styles, and any specific concerns or preferences the client may have. By documenting these aspects, barbers can tailor their services to meet individual needs effectively, ensuring a personalized experience that enhances client satisfaction and loyalty. Having this information readily available allows for continuity in services and helps maintain a high standard of care in future appointments.

In contrast, while planning future appointments, collecting payment information, and providing marketing material are all important aspects of a barber's business, they do not fall under the primary function of a consultation card. These aspects can be managed through other means such as scheduling software or payment processing systems.
