BackBar Pro vs SlickChart

Your clients, your services, your money. One app that remembers all of it. BackBar Pro is for the beauty pro who is also the front desk, the bookkeeper, and the one who remembers every client's last visit. Hairstylists, estheticians, and lash and brow artists each get the records their craft needs, plus booking, payments, and money tools that work the same for everyone. CLIENTS YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBER Every client gets one profile: visit history, allergies and sensitivities, before and after photos, and notes from every appointment. Send intake forms, waivers, and consent forms by text or email, and clients sign on their phone. Switching from another app? Send us your export and we will load your client list for you. FOR HAIRSTYLISTS: A FORMULA VAULT Build a formula the way you mix it: color, lightener, developer, timing, and weights, with the finish photo attached. Every visit keeps its exact formula, so you can pull up exactly what you used last time. Extension sets and maintenance dates are saved on the client's hair profile. FOR ESTHETICIANS: YOUR PROTOCOL BOOK Save the exact steps of each facial, peel, or treatment once, with contraindications, peel details, and aftercare. Run a treatment step by step with timers, keep a skin profile for every client, and send a home care routine after the visit. FOR LASH AND BROW ARTISTS: MAPS THAT REMEMBER THE SET Map lashes zone by zone, and save brow shapes with your lamination and tint details and a live timer. Every client keeps their saved maps, and you file them under categories you make yourself. BOOKING THAT PROTECTS YOUR TIME Your own booking page with your services, hours, and rules. Take deposits at booking, approve requests, and let clients reschedule or cancel from a link inside the window you set. Keep a waitlist and fill a cancellation in one tap. Charge no-show and late-cancel fees when you need to. GET PAID, HOWEVER THEY PAY With Tap to Pay on iPhone, there's no need for additional card readers or terminals. Take card on file, payment QR codes for Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App, cash, and gift cards. Sell memberships and packages, send invoices, and text or email the receipt the moment you close out. REMINDERS THAT CUT NO-SHOWS Automatic appointment reminders by text and email, booking confirmations, and change notices. When a client is due, a rebook nudge puts a ready-to-send text on your to-do list, and a follow-up email goes out if they have not booked. Your phone alerts you to new bookings and cancellations. INVENTORY THAT KNOWS WHAT IT COSTS Track your retail shelf with stock counts and your markup. Premium adds back bar shelves for color, lash and brow, skincare, and supplies, scanning a bottle or an invoice to add products, and for color, the live cost of every bowl added to the ticket. MONEY AND TAXES, HANDLED Track expenses by deduction category, see income and profit by month, and set money aside for taxes. Premium adds receipt scanning from a photo, a full federal and state estimate, reminders before quarterly deadlines, and a year-end package your accountant can use. REPORTS WORTH READING Revenue, average ticket, and rebook rate, plus a monthly goal with your pace against it. Premium adds where to improve, chair time, color cost per service, and top clients. BUILT FOR HOW YOU WORK iPhone, iPad, and the web, all on one account. See your appointments in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. WHO IT IS FOR Independent hairstylists, estheticians, lash and brow artists, booth renters, and solo studio owners who want one calm system instead of five apps, a group text, and a notes file. New accounts start with a 14 day free trial, no card needed. When the trial ends, everything you saved stays yours. Tap to Pay on iPhone requires a supported payment app and the latest version of iOS.

SlickChart is the client record built to do the two things every other app forgets: protect your business and help you make more money. It's made for solo beauty and wellness professionals — estheticians, tattoo artists, brow & PMU specialists, lash and massage pros, hair and barbers, and more. PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS • Digital consent & intake forms, signed by every client and stored for you — your proof if a service is ever questioned. • A timestamped before/after photo vault with side-by-side compare — documented results, not memory. • A provider document vault for your license, insurance, and certifications, with renewal reminders so you're never caught lapsed. • Flagged contraindications surface before the visit, and every note, form, and message stays on record. MAKE MORE MONEY • Sell your retail, protocol bundles, and homecare right from the client's chart. • Add affiliate links to the products you already recommend and earn on them. • Build and sell your own courses or paid guides to your clients. • SlickChart never takes a cut of your sales. TURN-KEY FOR YOUR PROFESSION Every consent, intake, and note format comes pre-built for your specialty — esthetics, tattoo, lash & brow, nails, massage, hair, nutrition, and more. Nothing to build, nothing to configure: log in and you're ready to chart your first client. ONE CLIENT RECORD Notes, photos, forms, products, and full history — always with you. Pre-visit check-ins so you walk in prepared, plus session summaries and homecare you send straight to your client. WORKS WITH SQUARE Connect your existing Square account and SlickChart keeps in sync — bookings, catalog, inventory, retail purchase history, cards on file, loyalty, refunds, and gift-card balances. No double entry. A PRIVATE EXPERIENCE YOUR CLIENTS WILL ACTUALLY OPEN Each client gets a private link to their own view — next appointment, aftercare and homecare, session summaries, recommended products, and secure messaging with you. No download required for them. SMART, OPTIONAL AI • "Catch me up" gives you a plain-language brief of your whole day — every appointment, booking request, and flagged check-in — the moment you open the app. • "Ask your book" lets you search your clients in plain English ("who's due for a touch-up?") to surface the ones worth rebooking, so your calendar stays full. • Generate a one-tap pre-visit AI Brief or a clean session summary, and dictate notes by voice. AI features are optional and can be turned off anytime. BUILT FOR TRUST Your data syncs securely to the cloud so nothing lives on just one device. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data from within the app at any time. Look polished, protect what you've built, and turn your expertise into income — without a clunky, expensive system. SlickChart requires an active subscription SlickChart is a practice-management tool, not a medical device, and does not provide medical advice.
