Slick is built exclusively for hairdressers and barbers. Not spas, not gyms, not chiropractors. That single focus shapes every part of the product, from how color formulas live inside a client record to how the calendar handles a 3-hour balayage differently than a 30-minute cut. What you get on Slick that you won't find bundled together on most competitors: • Free unlimited SMS appointment reminders on every plan, including the entry tier. Slick salons cut no-shows by up to 70%. • Card processing at 2.1% + $0.03 in-person, with next-day payouts and built-in tipping. On $30K/month in-person, that's about $150 back vs. a 2.6% processor. • No-show protection (deposits, card-on-file, automated reminders) included at every tier, not gated behind an enterprise plan. • Native iOS and Android app so owners and stylists run the salon from a phone. • Client records built for hair: photos, color formulas, allergy notes, service history, rebooking patterns. • Transparent pricing with no annual hikes: essential $20/mo (1 stylist) + $12 per extra advanced $35/mo (1 stylist) + $18 per extra supercharged $219/mo flat, unlimited • Month-to-month. No contracts. Cancel any time. Slick is owned by DaySmart and backed by L'Oréal. 10,000+ salons and barbershops run on Slick, with a 4.7/5 rating from 3,400+ reviews. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 43 users.

Clients love the 48hr reminder txt. Overall very happy > > **Cons**: Would like to add in an option to take pictures of receipts and invoices for cashing up. Have everything in one place rather than separate apps > > Very friendly and professional, always available when I needs questions answered or to help sort anything. ----- ### "Just a breeze to use" — 5.0/5 > **stuart** | *15 February 2022* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love all the features, and that your always adding new ones all the time. the ease of the online booking is a godsend, clients are loving all the text features > > **Cons**: the only feature i would like to see is the ability to create a bundle feature, where a client can purchase a bundle of treatments \& pay for, then on each visit it gets deducted from their account rather having to do it manually > > From the moment i signed up was just a pure ease, i had my doubts on it at first, but none of the clients new that we had changed over, which for me was amazing to hear. The online booking is just a breeze to use and clients are loving it, the set and forget marketing is so easy to set up, you simply forget you have it running in the background. all the text features are fabulous too. I also love the interaction with our social media posts from you guys. ----- ### "Promising, but a way to go" — 3.0/5 > **Stephen** | *30 March 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is simple and straightforward, and clear > > **Cons**: There is a lack of functionality, and updates to increase this do not happen as advertised. We are still awaiting key features, like stoc control and more reporting > > We took slick as a replacement for our previous cloud based software, and while it offers limited functionality, we have had issues with invoicing, appointments, prices being changed with no apparent reason. Let’s see if the long awaited updates solve some of these issues ----- ### "Toe Dipping \!" — 5.0/5 > **Julia** | *11 August 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The. Reminders for appointments we saw a a fall in no shows straight away. Customers love the reminders. > > **Cons**: At first it kept encouraging us to send messages to get clients that have not been back we didn’t for well over a year but when we did it always created a appointment or two so is worth doing . It updates a lot but these are needed sometimes they are annoying but usually ok > > Brilliant have felt help is at hand all times have dip our toes into this technology and love it so much we now do on line bookings\! slick guided us through this process at sixty yrs old I feel I can keep up with the younger generation moving the salon forward s is most important. I would recommend Slick everytime. ----- ### "Get Slick, Get it now\!" — 4.0/5 > **Sarah** | *21 October 2020* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: so many features i like, easy to use ( most of the time), great reporting, marketing availability, on line booking, free text reminders, good lay out > > **Cons**: You can't view a week for more than 1 stylist. would love to be able to see 2 or 3 ( yes its crowded) You cant find a free spot without looking at each individual each day. ( an on line booking type function would work well to find the earliest appointment available for that service) It doesn't flag similar clients or duplicates. > > Very good. Feedback is always taken on board. Any issues are always resolved or explained very quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/178360/slick-for-salon?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/178360/slick-for-salon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
