Beauty and personal care runs on transformation, and transformation is the one format where the raw material is a client rather than a product. That is the constraint that shapes everything else in this cluster: the strongest before-and-after you have is usually the one you have the least right to publish, so consent and framing get decided before the camera comes out.
It is also why stylised template formats do so much work here. When a face cannot be shown, a generated subject carrying the same transformation makes the point without a release form, and the cluster's cadence splits along the same line — quick, repeatable services post most days, while high-consideration treatments post half as often.
Get consent in writing before the first shot, and keep a stylised fallback for every client who says no.

Questions this cluster asks
What do I do when a client won't be filmed?+
Shoot the work rather than the person: hands, tools, the product going on, the detail at the end. Then use a template or a generated subject for the transformation beat. The idea is the change, and the change is legible without a recognisable face.
Why does cadence vary so much inside this cluster?+
It follows the length of the decision. A nail salon or barber is a low-consideration, high-frequency purchase and supports posting most days; a med-spa or a tattoo artist sells a decision people take weeks over, so fewer and more substantial posts work better than daily volume.
Do the before-and-after formats need real footage?+
The 'after' does. That is the proof, and a generated result is not proof of anything. Generation earns its place on the hook, the transitions, the on-screen text and the versions of an ad you are testing — everything that surrounds the real result.
