Went to a new spa in Denver and saw their client intake setup

I checked out a place called The Skin Loft last weekend. They had these little paper pads next to the consultation chairs with a diagram of a face printed on them. The esthetician would draw directly on the pad while the client pointed out concerns, then rip off the top sheet for them to keep. It was such a simple way to make the skin analysis feel collaborative and clear. Has anyone tried something similar in their own treatment room?

Ever try to draw on a tablet and just end up with a weird lopsided blob? My artistic skills are not spa-worthy.

My old spa in Austin used a laminated face chart with dry-erase markers.

We had the same setup at my first job. The laminated charts were a lifesaver for quick consultations. Clients could point right to the areas they wanted focused on. It was way faster than trying to sketch on paper. Plus, you could wipe it clean for the next person in two seconds.

Always pushed for digital tools. Thought they looked more modern. But those laminated charts are just faster in a busy room. You can't beat grabbing a marker and circling a spot right now.
