Client skin tracking

Notes per client: skin type (Fitzpatrick), conditions (acne, melasma, rosacea), allergies, current routine. Photos at every visit (consistent lighting). Treatment notes. Year-over-year reveals progress + identifies what works.

Treatment protocol library

Photo documentation

Daylight ring light for skin-tone accuracy (NOT warm fluorescent). Photos before + after every treatment. Consistent angle/distance. Year-over-year client photos for compliance + portfolio. Client consent.

Retail product sales

Per-skin-type recommendations. Square POS for retail. Commission income often exceeds service fee. Notes app for stylist pitch points. Routine cards for clients (texted post-service).

Booking workflow

Vagaro or Mindbody for spa booking. Recurring treatment protocols (peel series, microneedling series). Online intake forms. Insurance forms in Files app for medical estheticians.

Continuing education + license

License renewal reminders in Calendar. CIDESCO + NCEA continuing education. Industry conferences. Manufacturer education from product reps. License compliance is mandatory.

Marketing + Instagram

Skin transformations are highly shareable. Before/after with consent. Reels of treatments. Educational content (skin types, ingredients). Builds expert authority. Skin stories create follower investment.
