Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Fill in what you know before the appointment. If the client’s history is incomplete, say so. Use the result as a conversation guide, not a script that must be followed word for word.
Advanced instructions
Adjust the generated questions during the consultation based on what you can see and feel. Replace broad return timing with your own service-specific recommendation after assessing the hair, scalp, and agreed result.
