Wig makers: book a first wig consultation online
How wig and hairpiece makers can book first consultations online: a private consultation service, what to say beforehand, discretion and fitting follow-ups.
5 min read
Booking a first wig consultation can be a big step for a client, and a phone call to arrange it isn't always easy to make. With Book, clients choose a private consultation time on your own booking page, quietly, at any hour, and read beforehand what will happen. You get a calm, unhurried first meeting with the time it needs.
A private consultation service
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give first consultations their own service with a generous slot and one place, so no one else is in the room.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| First private consultation | 1 h | 1 | Free |
| Fitting and adjustment | 45 min | 1 | Free |
| Hairpiece or topper consultation | 45 min | 1 | Free |
| Styling and cut of your new wig | 1 h | 1 | €50 |
Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Don't put product prices or anything about funding in the booking page; discuss those in person.
Answer questions in the description
A clear description makes the first step easier. Say:
- where the consultation takes place and whether there's a private room;
- what happens: talking through what the client wants, trying styles, measuring;
- that the client can come with someone;
- that they can call you first if they prefer to talk before booking.
Discretion in the note
The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note. The note reaches you in the new booking email and also appears in the client's calendar file. Tell clients they don't need to explain anything in the note, and not to write health details there. A short note such as preferred colour or style is enough; the rest can wait for the consultation.
Neutral service names
The service name appears in the client's calendar. Use neutral names, such as "Private consultation", rather than anything personal, so a shared calendar shows nothing the client wouldn't want seen.
Accompanied visits
A client may come with a partner, friend or family member. One booking covers the visit; say in the description that companions are welcome. Someone can also book on the client's behalf with the client's name in the note.
Fittings and follow-ups
After the consultation, book the fitting yourself from your bookings list when the wig is ready. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Book doesn't send reminders, so that file keeps the date in their phone. See the guide on maintenance appointments for after-care visits.
Setting your hours
Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Keep first consultations at quieter times, such as the start of the day, with space after them so the client never feels rushed out. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.
Home visits
If you visit clients at home, create a separate service with travel in the slot, and ask for the address in the note.
What Book doesn't do
Book doesn't take payments, store client records or send reminders. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: with several stylists, create services per person. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
