What Is An Esthetician Client Intake Form

This asks all the questions your new clients need to answer to give you a good understanding of their medical and skincare history, and any considerations you need to take into account for their treatment.

Client intake forms are key tools used by estheticians to get important information on their clients before they begin treatments. The intake form is typically completed by the client prior to their first session with the esthetician, or on the day of the first session at the esthetician’s practice.

The information gained from this form is crucial for ensuring the safety of your client, and the efficacy of their treatments with you.

How To Use This Esthetician Client Intake Form Template 

To fill in this form, your clients just need to follow these simple steps.

Step One: Fill in the Client Information section

The first step is for your client’s basic information. This includes contact details like their name, contact phone number, email, and address as well as an emergency contact name and phone number.

Step Two: Fill in the applicable medical history questions

The medical history section is important for determining medical considerations you need to take into account before you treat your client. Not every question will be applicable to every client, so if they have no past medical conditions, or are not using any medications, they can just write “none” or “N/A”. 

Step Three: Complete the skin care history section

There are a few questions here relevant to past treatments so you understand the condition of their skin and what treatments if any, they have had recently. There is also space for your client to write their concerns about their skin that have brought them to see you today. 

Step Four: Read the client agreement and sign

The client agreement is brief and simply indicates that the information they have provided is true and that they have not withheld anything from you that could be relevant.

Why Is This Form Useful For Estheticians?

This form is designed to save estheticians time, as well as improve the quality of the information gathered during a client’s intake to their practice. Some useful features include:

  • Open-ended questions: rather than having your clients read through long lists of medical conditions or allergies, we have left the intake form open-ended with space for your clients to write their own entries, if applicable. This has the advantage of not limiting the possible allergies or medical conditions to a checkbox list and keeps the form compact and easy to read.
  • Several types of contact information: we have included space for phone, email, and physical address for your client so you can be sure you will have at least one valid contact method for them. 
  • Emergency contact information: we never expect things to go wrong, but when they do, it’s always best to be prepared. By gathering an emergency contact for your patient you are taking the first step for your practice.

What is the main purpose of the esthetician client intake form?

The main purpose of this form is to ensure the safety and efficacy of your client’s treatment by gathering information on their medical and skincare history.

How long should an intake form be?

Your client will fill out this intake form and we have left space for them to elaborate or explain several of their answers. While the answers in this intake form should be kept precise and to the point, if your client is unsure if a piece of information will be relevant for their treatment, encourage them to include it anyway as it is better you know the allergy or procedure they underwent than for them to assume it won’t be relevant.
