What type of information should NOT be recorded on a client consultation card?

The consultation card is an essential tool for nail technicians to keep a record of important client information. It serves to ensure a safe and tailored experience during services. Recording appointment times is not typically included on a client consultation card because this card is primarily focused on the client’s personal details, preferences, and health information that directly pertains to the services being performed.

The critical aspects that should be documented include the client's name, any allergies they may have, and the services they request. This information helps the technician to provide the safest and most appropriate service, allowing them to avoid products or techniques that could trigger an allergic reaction or otherwise compromise the client’s health. Appointments are managed separately, often through scheduling software or a calendar, which means they do not belong on the consultation card itself. Thus, the emphasis of the card is on the pertinent details related to client safety and service customization, rather than logistical details like appointment times.
