Why UK salons leave Slick
UK salons leave Slick because the bill grows with every stylist. Slick prices per bookable staff column, ex VAT: Essential is £22 a month plus £14 per extra column, and Advanced is £37 plus £21 per extra column. A 3-chair salon pays £60 to £94.80 a month with VAT, and a 6-chair salon £110.40 to £170.40.
On top of that, VAT sits on every Slick price, and on Essential SMS appointment confirmations are a further £6 plus VAT per column. For 3 chairs that takes Essential to £81.60 a month. Card fees carry VAT too: 1.29% plus VAT in person and 2.17% + 27p plus VAT online.
Put together, that is a bill that moves with the team and a set of add-ons, rather than a fixed figure a salon can plan a budget around.

What should you check before you leave Slick?
Check your contract first, then check that your future appointments will move across intact. Slick plans are monthly rolling, but its preferential commercial terms trigger a contract, so confirm the notice period before you close anything. Beyond that, it helps to know exactly what else you want carried over. All of the following moves with Revyfy:
- Future appointments. Everything already booked in your diary, on the right day and time, with the right staff member.
- Client list and notes. Contact details, visit history and any notes on file.
- Services and prices. Your existing service list and how each one is priced.
- Gift card balances. What is outstanding on any gift card a client has bought.
- Stock levels. Current quantities for anything you sell or use.
- Staff. Your team, their roles and what they are booked to deliver.
Can you run both systems side by side?
Yes, you can run Slick and Revyfy side by side for as long as you need. You start a 14-day trial and tell us you are coming from Slick, and the Revyfy team moves your staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock across for you.
Slick keeps running until you choose to go live on Revyfy, so there is no gap where the salon is without a working system. Nothing is switched over publicly until you decide it is ready. You choose when to share your new booking link and when to stop taking bookings on the old system, so the pace of the move stays in your hands. Revyfy has no contract: cancel any time.
What changes for your clients?
Very little changes for your clients: they book on your own branded page, at your own link. Reminders continue as before, and there is nothing for a client to do or set up.
Your existing clients are yours: their history, notes and future appointments move with you, and they carry on booking with your salon the same as always.
What does Revyfy cost after the switch?
