For makeup artists & hairstylists

Save 15 minutes
with every client.

Your client completes a ready-to-use questionnaire before the appointment. You know exactly what she wants, her allergies and what to avoid. No guessing in the chair, no digging through messages.

Makeup artist with an unhappy client

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your client sits down and only then starts explaining what she actually wants.

Know what your client wants before the appointment

You're hunting for photos on Instagram, asking about allergies, sorting out her outfit — and 15 minutes of a 60-minute slot has vanished into the consultation. With 4 clients a day that's a whole hour lost to needless questions.

It gets even worse when you find out about an allergy, a cold-sore breakout, a skin issue or a bad reaction to a product just before the service.

Signato helps you collect this information upfront and store it on her client record, saving you time and giving you peace of mind.

How it works

From sending the questionnaire to a prepared appointment — three steps.

1

Send the client a link

Before the appointment you send the client a link to a ready-made questionnaire. She fills it in within 3 minutes on her phone — at home, on the go, anytime.

2

See her answers before the appointment

You know exactly what look she wants, her allergies, skin type, inspiration and what to avoid. You prep the products and shades in advance.

3

Start the makeup from minute one

No improvisation. The client feels understood. You have more time for the actual work — and can even fit in another client.

With 4 clients a day you save a whole hour. Every day.

Save time on the consultation

Your client won't tell you everything once she's in the chair — so capture it before she sits down. Before the appointment she fills in how she wants her makeup, the hairstyle she's after, what she'll wear and what to avoid.

Prep the right kit ahead of time

You can see her skin type, sensitivities, desired look, hair, accessories and how long the look needs to last. You lay out the right products, shades, lashes and tools — no guessing.

Protect yourself from unfair complaints

Preferences, consent, inspiration photos, notes and the final result stay on her client record. If something goes sideways, you've got something solid to point to.

Returning clients — no starting from scratch

You quickly find her record: previous shades, products, hairstyle, before/after photos and notes on what she liked — and what she wouldn't want again.

Catch health risks and prepare for them

The form asks about allergies, sensitive skin, cold-sore breakouts, skin conditions, reactions to cosmetics or sensitive eyes. You can adjust your approach, reschedule or decline a risky service.

Spot a problem client before she arrives

If her answers reveal unclear expectations, a risky condition or a client who won't respect your rules, you can decline the booking before she arrives.

One place for preferences, signature, photos, notes and client history.

Ready-made forms in Signato

No complicated setup

Your questionnaire is ready. Start from a template for makeup, hair or a bridal trial, then tailor it to your style in 2 minutes — no hours of writing questions from scratch.

Signature with you before work begins

Signed in front of you, before the service begins

Your client can fill in her answers ahead of time, but the final consent is signed right before the service on your phone or tablet.

Notes from the makeup trial

Notes from the makeup trial

After the trial you record shades, intensity, wear time and what to adjust on her record. On the wedding day you open it and know exactly where to pick things up. No guessing.

Photos and notes in one place

Photos, preferences and notes in one place

Inspiration photos don't get lost on Instagram and your final photos don't sit in your camera roll without context.

Record for disputed situations

A record when things get tricky

If a client later claims she wanted a different style or didn't mention something important, you can fall back on her saved answers, signature and notes.

Makeup artist with a happy client

Less stress at work, happier clients

You start the appointment prepared and your client feels you understand her vision from the very first minute.

The questions in the form — built to help you prep the makeup, the hair and a safe service.

A good form doesn't overwhelm your client. It only captures what you need to know before the service: the look, wear time, product prep, health risks and whether the appointment should happen at all.

Makeup vision

Does your client want natural, soft, glam or bold makeup? Does she prefer statement eyes, lips, a matte finish or a glowy complexion?

Hair vision

Does she want waves, an updo, a half-up, a sleek style, hair down or a combo with accessories, a veil or extras?

References & boundaries

She can attach photos of what she loves and also show what she definitely wants to avoid in her makeup or hair.

Skin, allergies and cold sores

The form asks about allergies, sensitive or reactive skin, cold-sore breakouts, eczema, acne, reactions to cosmetics or lash glue.

Hair and scalp

You'll learn hair length and density, whether she has extensions, a sensitive scalp, styling allergies or heat-tool restrictions.

Event, outfit and wear time

Is it a wedding, prom, shoot or another event? What's the dress, the colour palette, the timing — and how long does the look need to last?

Everyday makeup and comfort

How your client usually does her makeup, what finish she prefers, and whether she wears contact lenses, uses lash glue or prefers waterproof mascara.

Photos and consent

Your client can confirm consent for before/after photos and separately for using the result in your portfolio or on social media.

Add your own questions

Drop in your own questions to match your style and client base — from her favourite lipstick brand to the drink she wants during bridal prep.

How fast chaos turns into a fully prepped appointment — you'll see at the very first booking.

Without a system

  • Your client describes her makeup and hair on the spot, while the clock is ticking.
  • Allergies, cold sores or sensitive skin only come up minutes before the service.
  • Inspiration's on Instagram, more details are in email, and the rest only lives in your head.
  • When she's unhappy, it's hard to prove what she actually asked for and agreed to.
  • You only spot a problem client once a conflict is already happening.
  • With returning clients you hunt for shades, products, hairstyles and old photos all over again.

With Signato

  • Before the appointment you know her vision, references, outfit and how long the look needs to last.
  • You see risk info upfront and can decide whether to adjust your approach or reschedule.
  • All answers, photos, notes and the signature live on a single client record.
  • Preferences, consent and the result are documented, helping you push back on unfair complaints.
  • Based on her answers you can decide to take the appointment or set clear rules before it happens.
  • Open her client profile and in a few seconds you see her service history and notes for next time.

Real-world scenarios

Everyday situations where the form saves you time and stress.

Bridal makeup

You know the wedding style, the dress, veil, accessories and the timeline before the trial.

Prom or event

Set the wear time, the hold for the hairstyle, the colour palette and your kit — based on her outfit, references and how long the evening runs.

More clients per day

When each one fills in her preferences upfront, you save 15 minutes on every client. With 4 clients that's an hour.

Returning client

You see what suited her last time, which shade you used and what to prep next time.

Sensitive skin or allergies

If she flags a problem, you're not caught off-guard — you can plan a professional response before she arrives.

Makeup trial

After the trial you note shades and tweaks. On the day you open the card and know exactly what to do.

Makeup artist thinking through her questions

Questions you might have — and the answers.

Straight talk, no fluff: what the system actually solves in your day-to-day as a makeup artist or hairstylist.

Is the form suitable for hairstylists too?
Yes. Signato works just as well for makeup artists and hairstylists — the form covers makeup vision, hairstyle, allergies, sensitive skin and scalp, wear time and inspiration photos.
Do I have to build the form from scratch myself?
No. The questionnaire is ready to use — start from a template for makeup, hair or a bridal trial and send it to your client in 2 minutes. No complicated setup.
How much time will it actually save me?
At least 15 minutes per client. With 4 clients a day that's an hour — time you'd otherwise spend on repeat questions in the chair.
How much does Signato cost?
The first 30 days are free, no credit card. Then from €9.90 a month — less than the price of a single appointment.
Does the form cover allergies, cold sores or skin issues?
Yes. The form asks about allergies, sensitive or reactive skin, cold-sore breakouts, eczema, acne and reactions to cosmetics or lash glue — so you can prep accordingly or reschedule.
Will it help me with a complaint?
In a dispute, your client's profile holds her signed informed consent, her pre-service answers, before/after photos and your consultation notes — a much stronger record than a memory or a messenger thread.
When does the client sign her consent?
Your client can answer questions from home in advance, but the final consent is signed right before the service on your phone or tablet, once you've agreed on the details.
Will it help me spot a problem client?
If her answers reveal unclear expectations, a risky health condition or requests you can't meet, you can decline the booking before she arrives.
Where do before and after photos get stored?
Photos stay on each client's profile alongside her answers, signature and your notes. They don't get lost on Instagram or in your camera roll without context.
What if my client doesn't fill in the form at home?
You fill it in together at the studio on your tablet or phone before the service. Either way you get a signed consent and all the answers saved on her profile.

Try Signato — by your very first appointment you'll see how much more time you have for the work itself.
