Salonomy vs Slick
Both are UK-built salon platforms. Here is an honest, capability-by-capability comparison so you can decide — no disparagement, just the facts as we understand them in June 2026.
Slick is a capable, UK-focused platform with a large installed base, a marketplace presence and a mature feature set. If you are already happy on Slick, this page is not here to talk you out of it — it exists so you can compare honestly.
What Salonomy leads with
iPhone and Android from day one — run the whole salon from your pocket, not just the iPad by the till. Works offline and syncs when the Wi-Fi comes back.
Cancellations and gaps become a live queue clients join from their phone — a link, not an app-store download. They watch their place and ETA, and you keep the chair warm.
Unlimited email and push. SMS and WhatsApp are included with a monthly allowance and a cap you set — at the cap we pause and ask. We never auto-spend your balance.
Monthly rolling. A discount doesn't tie you in. Cancel in one click, in settings, without a phone call or a retention team.
Shared salon book, sealed books per chair renter, or a mix — chosen at setup and per renter after. When a book is sealed it is sealed by architecture, not a role setting.
The price on the page is the price on your invoice. Card payments are 1.9% + 5p in person; we publish that interchange and scheme fees cost us ~1.2% and we keep ~0.7%. No per-booking commission on your own clients.
Salonomy and Slick, side by side
A factual capability matrix. Where we mark a competitor “partial” it means “available, but check the detail for your workflow” — not a criticism. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it.
