What this sheet is for
Match last time's colour exactly, or change it on purpose, because the formula and the time it was left are written down rather than remembered.
Who it is for
Colourists and hairdressers, and salons where a client's colour may be done by more than one person.
How to use it
- Fill in the natural base, hair history and patch test lines on the first visit.
- Record every colour service with the exact formula you mixed, the developer and the technique.
- Write the development time you actually left it, and the result.
- Note what to change next time while it is fresh.
- Keep the card with the client's consultation card.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One card per colour client — the exact formula mixed, the developer, the technique and the time it was left, every visit, so the next one can match the last or move on from it.
Your formula, the manufacturer's chart. The formulas, developer strengths and development times on this card are the ones you mixed and used, from your own training and the manufacturer's shade chart. None are printed here. The patch test line records that one was done and what it showed — when it is needed is set by the manufacturer and the rules where you work.

Questions
Why are there no formulas or timings printed to work from?
Because the formulas belong to the manufacturer's shade chart and the timings to your training and their instructions. The card records what you chose and what it did on this head of hair, which is the only thing that helps next time.
What about the patch test?
There is a line for the product tested, the date and the result. How far ahead of a service it has to be done, and how often it has to be repeated, is set by the manufacturer and the rules where you work — not by this card.
