Which of the following is NOT typically collected on a client intake form?

• A. Lifestyle questions
• B. Blood type
• C. Past cosmetic services
• D. Current address information

Answer: (B)

Collecting information on a client intake form focuses on safety, consent, and service suitability. You want to capture how to contact the client, an emergency contact, medical history and medications, allergies, and any past cosmetic procedures to avoid adverse interactions. Lifestyle questions help gauge factors that could affect results or healing, and current address information keeps records up to date and supports communication. Blood type isn’t typically included because it doesn’t affect ordinary cosmetic services and isn’t needed for safety or consent in a standard spa or salon setting; requesting it also raises unnecessary privacy concerns. It would only be collected if a specific medical situation or procedure required it, under guidance from a healthcare professional.
