About the Brand

SLICKHAIR is an Australian beauty brand focused on simple, effective solutions for everyday hair styling. It all started in 2019, when founder Mia was looking for a way to tame flyaways without stiffness. When she couldn’t find a product that worked, she created her own: and the SLICK STICK® was born.

What began as a single solution quickly gained attention and went viral. Today, SLICKHAIR has grown into a full anti-frizz styling system, trusted by millions of customers around the world. With over 1 million Slick Sticks sold and features on platforms like Sephora, the brand has built a strong presence in the beauty space.

Designed for Gen Z and Millennial women, SLICKHAIR focuses on quick, easy-to-use products that fit naturally into everyday routines.

The Challenge

01

Uncertainty in Product Selection

Customers weren’t always sure which product was right for their hair type or needs, leading to hesitation before purchasing.

02

Repetitive Customer Questions

The team frequently handled similar questions from customers, which took time and slowed down support.

03

Low Average Order Value (AOV)

There was an opportunity to increase order value by helping customers discover additional products that fit their routine.

The Solution

To address these challenges, SLICKHAIR introduced a product recommendation quiz designed to guide customers toward the right products and bundles based on their needs.

The goal was to simplify decision-making, reduce repetitive questions, and create a smoother path from discovery to purchase. They also want to encourage higher-value orders through more relevant product suggestions.

What They Said

"We were looking for a solution to help us increase conversion and AOV by recommending tailored product bundles, while also improving the overall customer experience. We wanted to help customers find the right products faster and reduce decision fatigue."

The quiz consists of a total of 7 questions, designed to keep the experience quick and easy to complete. The first question is set up as a picture choice, making it more engaging and intuitive for users to start the quiz.

They also enabled the autonext functionality, allowing users to move through the quiz without needing to click a “Next” button each time - creating a smoother and faster experience.

See the screenshot below from the first question:

As the final step of the quiz, users are asked to enter their email, after which they receive a welcome message with a 10% discount code. This creates an extra incentive to complete the quiz while also helping SLICKHAIR build their email list.
