Which of the following best describes a Record Card?

• A. A color swatch book
• B. A place to record important service information for current and future services
• C. A consent form
• D. A billing statement

Answer: (B)

A Record Card is a place to capture a client’s service history and notes for both current and future visits. It holds details that help a stylist understand what has been done before, what formulas or products were used, any sensitivities or allergies, and personal preferences. Having this information handy ensures consistency across appointments, supports safer service choices, and makes future visits smoother by enabling technicians to tailor recommendations and reminders based on past experiences.

The other options describe different kinds of documents not meant for tracking ongoing service history: a color swatch book stores shade options for selection; a consent form records permission for procedures; and a billing statement lists charges.
