What's actually included

The texts others charge for, you send for free

Most salon software bills you per message, so you ration your reminders and never touch the marketing. Slick includes both. Here's what that's worth to a typical 4-stylist salon.

Unlimited
reminder texts, always included free

A 4-stylist salon typically sends around 226 a month, worth about £11 to £20 with other providers.

500
marketing texts a month, included free

Included on our Advanced plan. Elsewhere that's about £30 to £45 a month, which is why most salons never send them.

£1,750
in extra bookings a month

What that included marketing bundle typically drives at Slick salons' average return. A campaign that costs you nothing.

You don't ration reminders on Slick, and the marketing texts you'd normally pay for are already in the box. That's the part rivals make you buy.

Reminder volumes are national averages and scale with salon size; the plan and marketing allowance shown are typical for a salon of that size. Text costs are based on typical UK per-message rates, and the bookings figure on Slick's average marketing return. Illustrative, excludes VAT, reviewed regularly.

How Slick compares for a typical 3-stylist salon

Example based on 3 stylists. Your actual price scales with your team, see your plan above.

On the sticker price alone, Slick sits mid-pack. But look what the others charge extra for: metered texts, reports add-ons, commission on new clients. Add up what a typical 3-stylist salon actually pays each month, and Slick has the lowest pricing across the board.

A £30 plan that charges for every reminder and takes 20% of every new client it introduces isn't the cheap option. Slick includes the lot, and never takes a cut of the clients you worked hard to win.

Figures reflect each provider's published UK pricing for a 3-stylist salon, excluding VAT, August 2026. Salon iQ's two-way texting and card processing rates are not publicly listed. Prices and terms change. Figures are for comparison and may vary by plan and usage.
