We’re transforming a $10B market by eliminating hair\u0026nbsp;color waste and costly inventory management challenges.CLICS is fortunate to have attracted $5.4 million from sophisticated, accredited investors including: Since launch in 2019, we’ve produced over\u0026nbsp;8,000 commercial dispenses and 1,892 bowls of color. Even though the salon market shut down for most of Q2, our revenue grew 491% in the second quarter compared to Q1 2020, due to increased color sales. From Q2 to Q3, we grew a further 2,574%—having closed a strategic pilot program with one of the world's largest beauty companies. CLICS is a complete, app-powered digital system that mixes and dispenses hair color. Using the CLICS system, stylists and salon owners can conveniently source hair color, all while saving money by paying only per formula dispensed. By 2021, the professional salon segment of the hair care market is slated to reach $1.5 billion in the U.S and $10 billion globally. As the only solution of its kind, CLICS is well positioned to disrupt the industry and change the way hair color is prepared, stored, and sold.With two patents secured and four more pending for our dispensing and color technology, we’re primed and ready to stand as THE solution for color, cosmetics, and beyond.Our salon program pricing is groundbreaking in its efficiency, simplicity, and flexibility. It rewards high producers and incentivizes growth, all while saving salon owners money. Here’s how our business model works:The feedback we’ve received from the salon community has been amazing, to say the least.Leilani Macedo, CLICS' Co-founder, has experienced all of the pain felt by stylists and salon owners: hair color waste worth 30% of their profits, tube packaging that is anything but environmentally friendly, inventory management challenges, limited color choice and formulation mistakes.\u0026nbsp;She looked for solutions and found none, so she decided to solve the problem herself.\u0026nbsp;Here’s a look at our founding journey: CLICS represents a fundamental advance in supply chain sustainability, with future applications above and beyond hair color—including color cosmetics, spa treatments, nail polish, and more!\u0026nbsp;We have potential for massive growth, and a clear exit strategy with potential 4-6X returns in 1-2 years and 12-16X in 4-5 years.*The projections above contain forward-looking statements that cannot be guaranteed.

We have two primary Cost of Goods Sold (COGS); our hair color and shipping. In volume, CLICS' COGS is low at around 20%. So every $1.00 in sales produces about $0.80 in gross margins. Our core staff is most of our current monthly expense at about $100,000 per month. CLICS' pro forma projections indicate that we will get to breakeven at around 40 salon customers.

This is a very low cost of entry for salons. For that the salon gets two dispensers, a full complement of color, and training; a $10,000 value. Our average customer buys between $3,000 to $8,000 per month of our color, producing approximately $2,600 to $6,400 in gross margins. We have a machine lease fee of $8.25 per machine per day, but waive the lease fee for both machines when salons..."},{"question":"How many shares will I recieve with a $250 investment?","answer":"Hi Johnny!\u0026nbsp;$250 investment will get you 54 shares.\u0026nbsp;"},{"question":"Who is the lead investor","answer":"I led the first round with a $100,000 investment.
