The consultation to skin plan checklist
Everything that has to happen between a new client booking and her leaving with a dated six visit plan and a home routine she will follow.

Everything on this page is meant to be used rather than read. The calculators run in the browser and answer the two questions that decide whether a skin studio makes money: what a six visit plan actually keeps after backbar and card fees, and how many clients one room can carry at your spacing. The checklist is the consultation workflow on paper, ready to print and mark up.
The comparison pages take the other kind of question, the one that arrives when your paper system stops holding. Booking platforms, all in one beauty pro tools and clinical charting systems all overlap with what a skin studio needs, and none of them are shaped quite like a six visit plan. Those pages say plainly which sort of operator each option suits, including the cases where GlowIntake is not the answer.
Free tools
Free calculators for the treatment room
Two calculators for the arithmetic every solo esthetician does badly on the back of a receipt: what a plan earns, and how much room you actually have.
Comparisons
How GlowIntake compares to the software estheticians already use
Most software sold to a treatment room is built to fill the calendar, while GlowIntake is built to make visits two through six actually happen.
Main guide
How do I build a six visit skin plan a new client will actually finish and pay for?
It settles how to structure, space and price a six visit facial series so a new client finishes it and pays for the home care that goes with it.

About
Who writes all of this
Who writes Treatment Room, the years spent behind a facial bed and inside state board rules, and why these pages argue that the skin plan rather than the appointment is what a studio actually sells.
When the printed checklist stops holding a full book
A counter checklist and a browser calculator carry a solo room a long way, and plenty of estheticians never need more than that. The point they stop working is usually the week you cannot remember which of thirty active clients is on visit three and owes you an answer about her retinoid nights. Book a demo when you reach it.
