For barbers, stylists & salons

The ninety-second consultation, step by step.

Everything below happens on one screen. First time through, read as you go; by the third client it's muscle memory.

1. 01

   Choose what they're in for

   At the top of the form, pick New style for a normal cut-and-colour consultation, or Man weave / unit for a hair-replacement client. Unit mode skips the whole questionnaire — photo in, nine unit installs out — so the rest of these steps mostly concern New style.

2. 02

   Take the photo

   Front-facing, hair tucked back off the face, even light, no hat. Snap it on the salon iPad or phone. If you also add the optional side view — a profile shot from the same sitting — every look will render from the side too, which is where fades, tapers and hairlines really show.

   Tip — The renderer can only keep what it can see. A three-quarter shot in shadow gives you nine unusable tiles — thirty seconds repositioning the client saves the whole consultation.

3. 03

   Fill in the client, in plain English

   Pick the styles to draw from (Women's / Men's / Everything), then face shape, current length, texture, and how much styling time they'll really give it. Every option explains itself — "Heart — wider forehead, narrower chin" — so the front desk can fill this in, not just a stylist. Not sure on face shape? Oval is the safe answer.

   Tip — “How big a change?” shifts the spread: Subtle keeps most tiles near what they have, Dramatic pushes them. If they're thinning on top, tick “restore the hairline” and every preview renders full coverage.

4. 04

   Check the nine before you spend a render

   The right side shows the nine that will be generated, spread across three lanes: Safe (close to today), Signature (best fit for their face), and Stretch (a bigger swing). Swap any tile from the dropdown — the client asked for something specific? Put it on the board now.

5. 05

   Generate, and watch it fill

   Press Generate nine previews. Tiles appear one at a time over about ninety seconds — keep talking, the first looks land in seconds. A failed tile shows a Try again button and never affects the other eight.

6. 06

   Review it together in the chair

   The original photo sits first in the grid, so every look reads against the real face. Tap any tile to open it full screen with the before/after slider — dragging it is the moment that sells the service. Flip tiles to the side view, star the looks worth shortlisting, and add a note to any tile ("needs two visits").

7. 07

   Send the client link

   Press Client link and text it to them. No app, no account: they compare the looks at home, tap their favourite, and pick a time window that suits them. Their choice appears as a gold banner on your board — you know what they want before they walk back in.

8. 08

   Print, revisit, or let it expire

   Print sheet gives you a chair-side reference. History keeps the consultation for follow-up visits. Photos delete themselves after the retention window (30 days by default) — or delete a consultation immediately and its photos go with it.
