Correct answer: D. Results of previous chemical services and any allergic reactions noted

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Stylist's home address is irrelevant to client care.
  • B. Salon finances have nothing to do with client records.
  • C. SSNs are not required or appropriate for salon records.

Client Record Card

A written or digital document tracking a client's service history, formulas, reactions, and preferences to ensure consistent, safe future services.

  • Includes contact info, service dates, and formulas used
  • Notes any allergic reactions or sensitivities
  • Should be updated after every visit
  • Protects both client and licensee legally

Memory trick: Card = Client's Chemical History Diary.
