Cosmetology · Skin Analysis and Consultation

A consultation/intake form for skin services helps the cosmetologist to:

Correct answer

Learn the client's skin concerns, allergies, medications, and health factors relevant to safe service

  1. A Learn the client's skin concerns, allergies, medications, and health factors relevant to safe service
  2. B Choose music
  3. C Skip analysis
  4. D Set prices only

Why this is the answer

An intake/consultation form for skin services gathers important information — the client's skin concerns and goals, known allergies, skin medications, sensitivities, and relevant health factors — that the cosmetologist needs to choose products and techniques and to identify contraindications before a service. For example, knowing a client uses a strong exfoliating medication affects whether certain treatments or waxing are safe. Using intake information to inform a safe, appropriate service is a professional practice reflected in the exam's skin-service content.
