What your client does on one tap
The magenta sticker at your front desk is a modern QR code, no scanning. When a client taps it, this is what happens, without you hiring more staff, training anyone, or buying a new booking system.
One tap asks the client if they would send a friend here. A yes becomes a Google review, in their words, where the next person searching for a barber or salon will find it. The reputation that gets you found, built one great cut at a time.
If the visit fell short, the client tells you directly, straight to the shop, not the internet, so you can make it right. They can still leave a public review. You just get the chance to fix it before it shows up there.
The client sees your live service menu auto-translated to their browser language. Twelve languages tuned for your client mix, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Korean, Arabic.
The client books their next visit before they leave, routed to their stylist's calendar with no front-desk go-between. The visit that would have ended in a 'text us to rebook' becomes a booked return.
Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. The client settles up on the same screen, tip included, and walks out without waiting on a card swipe or a line.
Membership, loyalty club, or package, whichever recurring program you set. The client enrolls in one tap and you bank predictable monthly revenue from clients who would have stayed one-time.
One sticker, no QR to scan. No app for your client to download. No card swipe. No one at the desk needed to take a booking or run a payment.

Slad replaces the whole stack a barbershop or salon normally pieces together: a Google listings manager, online booking for every chair, an AI receptionist that books your missed calls, a video tool, a reputation tool, and local market intel, $149 a month.
Show up first on Google, and surface when clients ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for the best barber or salon nearby. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh with posts and review replies, turns your Instagram into Google posts, and features your shop on its channel and local guide, so you get found without doing the work.
Turn one service photo or clip into a polished video with the motion and warmth a flat photo can't show, then post it to Google, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in one tap, with a TikTok draft ready to publish.
Clients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service menu, book straight with their stylist, pay from their phone, and join a loyalty club. No app to download, no extra staff steps.
Recover unhappy clients before they go public. Slad routes low ratings privately to the owner and drafts your review replies, so 1-star damage gets caught at the chair, not on Google.
See the shops opening and closing near you, the trends moving in your area, and the complaints that keep coming up across your competitors, so you can win on them.
Paste a handle. Get audience authenticity, real engagement, a fair-price range, and cross-platform reach across Instagram and TikTok in under a minute, before you wire a dollar.
A built-in AI assistant that already knows your shop (service menu, reviews, booking system, channels) and your local market (openings, closures, trends, competitors). Ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers, not generic advice.
Set it up in one sitting, then run it in a few minutes a day from your phone. You approve; Slad makes the videos, posts to every channel, replies to reviews, runs the front desk, and watches your local market.
Under an hour
to set up, and you go live the same day.

No retraining
Clients self-serve at the chair. You just point at the sticker.
Place your Slad stickers, connect Google and your social channels, link your booking system, and upload your service list. Setup takes minutes, your front desk and your feed go live the same day.
Appointments, Google, channels, and reputation flow live in one sitting.
Clients tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, to book, pay, and join your loyalty club right from the chair, sent straight to your shop. Meanwhile Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your work into videos that post to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, and gets your shop featured so new clients find you in Google and AI search, all on your approval.
Appointments get booked. Services become posts. You tap approve.
Unhappy clients route into a private feedback loop before they go public; happy ones become verified reviews and content. The same dashboard shows the openings, cost moves, and policy shifts in your local market.
More content. Less public fallout. Real signal on your local market.
The questions shop owners ask before they sign up.
One plan, $149 a month, everything included. You get your Google and AI search presence, online booking for every chair, an AI receptionist that books your missed calls, service videos that post to every channel, payments and a loyalty club, Reputation Shield, local market intel, the AI assistant, and Slad stickers included. All on your Slad page, all continuously updated. 7 days free, no contract.
Fair question: Slad starts at $149 a month, and the return comes from filling chairs and keeping regulars. Higher tickets when clients book from the chair, a recurring loyalty club, new clients who find you on Google and in AI search, and reputation recovery that protects your rating. Put your own clients per day and average spend into the revenue calculator to see your estimated extra revenue, payback period, and return against what you pay. Every number it uses is grounded in published research.
A lot, all in one app: your Google presence on autopilot, AI service videos that post to every channel, book and pay at the chair, a loyalty club, Reputation Shield, local market intel, influencer vetting, plus an in-app AI assistant that already knows your shop and your local market, and a client-facing page with rewards. For the complete, itemized breakdown of everything Slad does for you and for your clients, see the full feature list.
Quite a lot, because it already knows your shop and your local market. It reads your service menu, your reviews, your booking data, your connected channels, and your Slad settings, and it sees the live signals in your local market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy windows, competitor moves). So when you ask things like "what is my best service mix for the busy season," "should I run a loyalty promo this winter," or "draft a reply to this 1-star review," you get specific, numbers-tied answers grounded in your actual numbers and what is moving near you, not generic advice. It also walks you through how to do anything in the app, from connecting your booking system to scheduling a Google post. Per-shop chat thread, isolated to your account.
Slad gives you a dedicated business number with an AI receptionist that picks up the calls you miss mid-cut, schedule-aware, so it only steps in when no one can answer. It books and reschedules clients with the stylist they ask for, answers hours, takes a message, or transfers to a person, so a ringing phone in the chair never costs you a booking.
Before a client is guided toward sharing, they rate their visit. If they select a low rating, Slad routes that feedback privately to the owner instead of pushing them toward a public post. You get the chance to recover the moment while the client is still in the chair, before frustration becomes a Google or Yelp review. We do not block public reviews. We give you a chance to fix the issue first.
Slad runs your service photo through an AI video model that adds the motion flat photos can't show: natural movement, light, depth, and warmth. You get a polished short video in minutes, ready for Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. You can also start from a short clip and Slad will remix it. No camera, no crew, no editor.
Yes. Each chair has its own calendar; clients pick their stylist and time, and you never play phone tag.
No, Slad connects to them. You authorize Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube once, then every video, photo, and offer publishes across them with one tap. TikTok is the one exception: your post lands in your TikTok drafts, ready for you to hit publish. You keep your accounts and your audience. Slad handles the publish, the cross-posting, the Google profile and posts, and the review replies.
Yes. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh so you rank when clients search nearby, with a lasting page on the Slad local guide. Those pages help your shop show up in Google and in what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity tell people who ask where to find a barber or salon near them, with nothing for you to write or set up.
No major training burden. Clients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code they never have to scan, for the service menu, booking, and rewards, and move through the flow on their own. You can point at the sticker the same way you would point at a poster. Marketing happens in the back office through your phone, not at the front desk.
None of the above. Slad is the operating system a barbershop or salon runs themselves. It does not replace your booking system; it connects to it so clients can book and pay. It is not an agency, no one runs your account for you. It is the shop-grade alternative to a chain's marketing team, loyalty contract, and agency, $149 a month.
Yes. Once your booking system is connected, clients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service menu, send their booking straight to the shop, pay from their phone, and can join a recurring loyalty club. No app to download, and you keep working the way you already do.
Most shops are live the same day they receive their sticker pack. Average setup is under an hour: place stickers, link your accounts (Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), connect your booking system, and upload your service menu and a few photos. Your first service video and first multi-channel post can publish before your next day starts.
Yes, and you keep your existing booking system. Slad connects to it instead of replacing it: clients tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service menu, send bookings to the shop, pay from their phone, and join a loyalty club. No new hardware, and no app for clients to download.
A marketing agency runs $2,500+/mo and only handles your posts. Slad is an operating system that does the marketing and runs your front desk, your reviews, and your local intel, $149 a month, with no agency, no team to hire, and no ad spend.
Catch the unhappy client before they post. Slad asks for a quick rating at the visit; a low score routes privately to the owner instead of becoming a public 1-star, so you can make it right, while happy clients get steered to a public Google review.
Upload one service photo and Slad turns it into a polished short video with the motion, light, and warmth a still photo can't show, then posts it to Google, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in one tap, with no filming or editing, and drops it into your TikTok drafts ready to publish.
Slad is built for barbershops and salons: get found on Google, post your work to every channel, take bookings, payments, and loyalty at the visit, recover unhappy clients before they go public, and track the openings, cost moves, and policy in your local market, all in one app, $149 a month.
Yes. Every claim on this site, and every default in the revenue calculator, is tied to a published source: peer-reviewed research (for example, the Harvard study linking a one-star-higher rating to 5 to 9% more revenue for independent businesses), established research firms like BrightLocal, Rival IQ, and Gartner, and clearly-labeled industry data. Where a study gives a range, we use the conservative end. You can read every source, tagged by how credible it is, on the research page.
When a client taps your Slad sticker, they browse a short reel of your work, then snap and share a photo of their fresh look to their own Instagram or TikTok for a reward, putting your shop in front of their followers. You see every share.
Slad is more than a booking app. Most salon software is booking-first (like Boulevard, Vagaro, Booksy, GlossGenius, or Fresha) and handles the calendar well. Slad does multi-stylist booking too, and adds what those tools usually leave to add-ons: an AI phone receptionist that books the calls you miss mid-cut, AI videos of your work auto-published to every channel, and a get-found and reputation layer. One flat price, from $149 a month.
One plan, everything included. Get found on Google, fill every chair with online booking and an AI receptionist that books your missed calls, and keep clients rebooking. $149 a month, plus a small add-on per extra chair.

Slad is not another marketing layer your team has to manage. It connects your Google presence, your appointments, your channels, and your spend into one operating system the owner runs themselves, with no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend, no app-switching, and no extra tools.
In the shop
Your team does not need a long explanation. They can simply say: “The service list, booking, payment, and rewards are right there at the front desk.” Slad handles the digital flow from there, with no new booking system and no retraining.
Online
Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your services into videos that post to every channel, replies to your reviews, and turns happy clients into verified promotion, all on your approval.
Outcomes
You get found on Google, recover bad moments before they go public, and see what your local market is doing, so reputation risk goes down while client-driven demand goes up.
