What it is
Slick is salon and barbershop business management software for appointments, client records, payments, marketing, reporting, staff, and inventory.

Unlimited SMS reminders are included, while marketing SMS allowances range from 50 to 2,000 credits depending on plan. Slick supports Android, iOS, and web access, with multi-location management, commission tracking, retail inventory, tips, gift cards, and POS payments. Stripe is its payments partner; listed rates are 2.1% + $0.10 per in-person transaction and 2.7% + $0.10 online. Essential costs $22 a month for one staff member, with 50 marketing SMS and additional staff fees. Supercharged costs $250 a month for 10+ staff.
