What a stylist request does
When you mark a service as a stylist request, Slick remembers that the client prefers a specific team member for that treatment. If anyone later tries to move that service to another stylist’s column - now or in a future booking - they’ll see a warning prompt before they can proceed.
This prevents accidental column moves and helps your team honour client preferences without relying on memory or notes.
💡 Tip: Stylist preferences are saved per service per client. So if a client always wants the same stylist for their colour but is flexible for their cut, you can record a preference for one without affecting the other.
Access on desktop
Log into Slick on your computer.
Click on the appointment in the calendar to open the booking modal.
Find the service you want to mark as a stylist request.
Click the heart icon next to that service line.
The heart fills to show the current stylist is now recorded as the preferred stylist for that service. ✅
Stylist not requested
Stylist requested!
Please note - It is not currently possible to mark a preferred stylist on the app. You will need to use desktop to do this!
What happens when someone tries to move the booking
If a team member tries to move a service marked as a stylist request to a different stylist’s column, a warning appears before the change is saved.
They can choose to proceed with the move anyway, or go back and leave the booking where it is. Either way, the preference stays recorded - the warning will appear again in the future if someone tries to move that service for the same client.
How to remove a stylist request
To remove a preference, simply tap or click the heart icon again to deselect it. The heart returns to its unfilled state and the preference is cleared.
