Consultation forms are an important part of many businesses' operating processes and allow you to gather any clients details you need before an appointment takes place. Our consultation forms have fully customisable sections, can be accessed on any device and will be stored on the client profile once completed.
To help you during COVID-19, we’ve created a template that you can edit and use straight away to keep your business and clients safe.
NOTE: Consultation forms are exclusive to Fresha Plus users. To learn more about Fresha Plus, click here.
