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. Your investment is rocket fuel to CLICS. Be the fuel and join us on our journey!

In fact, CLICS is revolutionary because of the breadth of our innovation. I will identify several here: 1) the only Internet connect robotic dispenser, which is patented, 2) the only mixable line of MEA based hair color (MEA is a replacement for ammonia and is much safer to use, and eliminates the harsh ammonia smell), 3) the only pay-after-dispense, hair color-as-a-service, which allows salons to go cash flow positive for their hair color since they don't have to pay until after the client does, 4) the first automated payment system so salons no longer have to pay in advance for color, and go through manual paper invoicing and payments, 5) the only mobile application that allows stylists to design millions of unique colors, 6) the only mobile app based service tool that for the first time ever, creates a record of each client service for quality control, 7) the only Artificial Intelligence based competitive color conversion capability, and 8) the only patented smart bowl technology to eliminate waste. There are others, but the capabilities above combined together is a significant unfair advantage. We estimate that it will take two to three years for competitors to replicate our system, and it will be much harder because we have fundamental patents.

But going months—or years—without any communication is discourteous and creates unnecessary frustration.A simple update every quarter, even if it’s brief, goes a long way toward maintaining trust. Most of us aren’t asking for polished reports or deep financials—just basic transparency about progress, challenges, and what’s ahead.When a company raises capital through Wefunder, it’s not just taking money; it’s taking on a community of supporters who want to see the business succeed. Silence erodes that relationship and makes it harder for investors to stay confident, advocate for the product, or participate in future rounds.I strongly encourage the team to consider:Posting a short quarterly update, even if the update is “we’re still working through challenges.”Sharing milestones, setbacks, or pivots so investors aren’t left guessing.Setting expectations for communication frequency going forward.This isn’t about demanding perfection—it’s about basic respect for the people who believed in the vision early on.Wefunder should also take a more active role in ensuring companies maintain minimum communication standards. Investors shouldn’t have to chase updates or wonder whether a company is still operating.A little transparency goes a long way. We’re here because we want the company to succeed—please help us stay informed enough to continue supporting you.","author_name":"Kevin Richardson","votes":1,"created_at":"2026-03-11T21:58:44Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/clics#question-327534","answers":[]},{"id":327524,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:327524","question":"still wondering about K! for 2025","author_name":"Eric Petterson","votes":1,"created_at":"2026-03-11T20:00:49Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/clics#question-327524","answers":[]},{"id":326520,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:326520","question":"Do we have any company updates?

Revenues of $35,000 are awesome and the exposure from WeFunder will explode that number.

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.

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.
