Unit Four Hair Colour Specialists

Why switching from Paper diary helped Abbie grow her business

"The business has grown massively and Slick has been a huge part of that. With a paper diary I had no control and made no money."
— Abbie Pinckney, Owner of UnitFour Hair Colour Specialists

What has been the biggest benefit of using Slick?

"I love having the numbers. With paper it was guess work- would it actually make a profit?! With Slick I can see where I am making money and where I am losing it"

"I share with my team their KPIs and results. It means we can have a conversation about how to help Stylist X with their rebooking rate or Colourist Y on how to fill empty slots"

"As a result, we're making more money as a team: this is NOT a cost. It's a a profit centre- it makes you money"

What were the problems with Paper?

"The chaos-  if a client texted me in the evening and wanted to know when their booking was, I had to drive back to the salon"

"Lots of owners think Paper is easy and software is scary but it's the opposite- software has made my life so much easier. During days off when I was out with my family I had clients contacting me and I couldn’t look at my diary, so would have to get back in contact later. Now they can book online."

What would you say to salon owners who are still using pen and paper?

"Switch now before you lose your business."

"With costs going up, us salon owners need all the help we can get to boost profits. Switching and paying for software sounds scary!"

"You use Instagram or an iPhone- did Instagram or Apple train you on those tools? Tech is not scary and besides Slick set you up and trained your team. The salons that thrive in this new world will be the ones that have the right tools, not those with their head in the sand"
