Great number. Now, how do you hit it?

It comes down to five things. None of them need a single new client.

Occupancy

How full your team's diary is.

Booked hrs ÷ available hrs

Do this: Turn on 24/7 online booking so gaps fill while you work.

No-shows and cancellations

Empty chairs you planned to fill. Rent and wages still run.

No-shows + cancels ÷ all appointments

Do this: Text reminders clients confirm, plus deposits on long services.

Across Slick's UK salons, the average one loses £2,500 a month to cancellations.

Average bill

What a client spends per visit.

Total takings ÷ payments

Do this: Offer an add-on or retail at checkout before raising prices.

Rebooking rate

Clients who book again before they leave.

Rebooked ÷ clients seen

Do this: Book the next visit while they're still in the chair.

Visit frequency

Weeks between a client's visits.

Avg weeks between visits

Do this: Every 8 weeks instead of 12 is 2 extra visits a year, per client.

Slick moves all five for you.

Where Slick does the work

Here's how Slick helps you move those five numbers.

Occupancy

Online booking that never closes

Clients book themselves 24/7, so empty slots in the diary fill while you're with a client.

25% more bookings on average
Slick calendar filled with appointments
No-shows and cancellations

Reminders that get a reply

Unlimited 2-way SMS reminders are included on every plan. Clients confirm by text, and online deposits protect your longest services.

70% fewer no-shows
Client confirming an appointment by text
Average bill

More from every visit

Scan retail at checkout, set min and max stock levels so you reorder at the right time, and see what's been used versus sold. Clients can add a tip as they pay.

Slick checkout with Tap to Pay
Rebooking and visit frequency

Clients back on their proper cycle

Automatic rebooking reminders go out to anyone who leaves without booking, and clients who drift get a nudge to come back. No list-pulling on a Sunday night.

Slick SMS marketing message

Card processing

1.29% on in-person payments, Tap to Pay included. That's the card fees line on your P&L.

Software

Salons that switch save about half on software, £79 a month on average.

Reports

Occupancy, rebooking and takings in one place, so you're not rebuilding this P&L from a spreadsheet every month.

Switching

Free data import and setup for teams of 2 or more. Most switch in under 48 hours.
