OTHERWORK ACADEMY / PRACTICE STUDIO / EXERCISE 01

A client visit.
Start to finish.

A hands-on business exercise using an entirely fictional client. Learn how a service record, product usage, and appointment economics connect.

Prototype, not a real salon workspace: No account, payment, client record, saved score, or enrollment is created. Your entries remain on this page until you leave or refresh it. Sample amounts are for arithmetic practice, not chemical mixing guidance.

01 / THE CONSULTATION

Meet Maya R.

Maya is a fictional returning client. Her record notes a preference for a soft grow-out, a shorter appointment, and clear expectations around maintenance. Before any real service, a licensed professional would complete the appropriate consultation and follow product directions.

SAMPLE HAIR MEMORY

What matters today?

  • Previous visit: 6 weeks ago
  • Preference: low-maintenance result
  • Historical note: check prior service records before planning
  • Business question: what did this appointment cost in product and time?

This is an invented client scenario, not a professional formula, allergy assessment, or service recommendation.

02 / THE SERVICE RECORD

Record a fictional visit.

Choose your sample service and enter what the bowl used.

For this exercise only: sample color-product cost = $0.12/g and second-product cost = $0.02/g. These are invented prices, not recommendations or real inventory data.

A FIRST LOOK, NOT THE WHOLE ACADEMY

Imagine learning with a whole studio.

Real Academy tools could add guided appointments, role-based classroom access, student progress and educator assignments. Those are not available in this sample yet.
