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. 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 Switched from [Shortcuts](https://www.capterra.com/p/13284/Shortcuts-Software/) The cost was a huge factor in my decision to move over to slick, and the format was easier to navigate. and each time you bring out new features we don't have to move on to a larger package and costing more. Reasons for choosing Slick the slick rep popped to show me the software, frim first glace i was hooked, i don't need to leave the main pc on at the salon at the end of the day, its all cloud based, which goes over to all our devices seamlessly. The pure ease of the software to navigate around is so simple Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

It updates a lot but these are needed sometimes they are annoying but usually ok Alternatives considered [Phorest](https://www.capterra.com/p/113530/Phorest-Salon-Software/) [Fresha](https://www.capterra.com/p/142138/Shedul-com/) Reasons for choosing Slick The sales staff brilliant friendly took their time didn’t rush us .

Feedback is always taken on board. Any issues are always resolved or explained very quickly. 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. Switched from [Cliniko](https://www.capterra.com/p/180878/Cliniko/) Cliniko was expensive. And \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] came to see us to demonstrate and talk about Slick and she sold it 100% Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
