The beauty industry is evolving faster than ever, and as a cosmetologist, staying creative and organized is key to standing out. One way to supercharge your business? AI prompts!

With just the right questions, you can unlock fresh ideas, create stronger client relationships, and even plan your next big move. Here are 5 AI prompts every cosmetologist should start using today:

1. “Suggest five trendy haircut ideas for clients with [hair type] and [face shape].”

✂️ Whether your client has thick, curly hair and a heart-shaped face, or fine, straight hair and an oval face — AI can quickly suggest trendy, customized styles.

Bonus: It keeps your consultations feeling fresh and personalized.

2. “Write a short, engaging Instagram caption for a [service] I just completed, featuring [colors, styles, or season].”

📸 Perfect for busy days when you don’t have time to brainstorm.

Need a caption for a spring balayage? A bold red mani? AI can whip up a caption that feels authentic and stylish in seconds.

3. “List 5 creative package ideas for bundling services like haircuts, color, and treatments to boost bookings during [slow month/season].”

🎁 Slower seasons like late winter or midsummer? No problem.

With the right bundles (and smart marketing), you can turn a quiet month into a fully booked one.

4. “Create a sample follow-up message I can send to a client after a [service] to check on their satisfaction and encourage rebooking.”

💬 Great follow-ups build loyalty.

AI can help you craft warm, professional messages that keep your clients feeling special — and keep your schedule full.

5. “Give me 3 ideas for beauty workshop classes or tutorials I could host for clients or on social media.”

🎨 Hosting events or tutorials is an amazing way to show off your skills and build community.

AI can help brainstorm creative class ideas based on trends, seasons, or even the products you love most.

Final Thoughts

Using AI doesn’t replace your creativity — it amplifies it.
