Phorest was founded in Ireland in 2003 by Ronan Perceval and Jamie Myerscough. There are now over 200 people on our team across Ireland, the UK, Finland, Germany, USA, Canada and Australia helping the top salons in their fields reach their dream status.
We have one mission and three values.
Our mission is to help salon owners succeed in business with the best of marketing, managing and growth software available.
Our values outline how we go about doing that – no compromises.

Our Values

Seirbhís Go Hiontach
(Gaelic for ‘Excellence in Service’)
How we live it
Every employee, including the CEO, visits and works the front desk of a salon for one day of the year, so we know exactly what challenges you face.
Because we care about what you care about our average customer service rating is always above 4.6-out-of-five.
Growth Mindset
How we live it
Software is merely a tool. We go so much further. We are here to help you grow and we want to be the best provider in the World.
Which is why we go above and beyond our competitors to help you design bespoke marketing campaigns, drive revenue with salon-specific loyalty programs, increase your online bookings, get your best reviews on Facebook and Google and increase your retention rates day in, day out. That is why over 60,000 salon professionals are now using Phorest!


Can-Do Attitude
How we live it
No problem is too big or too small. Kala Hale, owner of ‘Alak Hair and Beauty’ says it best:
“Phorest was easy to deal with from the word go – down to earth, understanding, and trustworthy. I suffer from learning disabilities and Phorest staff are so patient with me and really help me to understand anything I need. This was a big step for me and Phorest made it so easy. It’s so good I tell everyone about it. I love it and to know I have it makes me proud.”
We love to give back
We are passionate about giving back to the salon industry and to the environment.
We have four areas where we drive our initiatives: The Salon Industry, The Phorest Workplace, through Volunteering and via Fundraising.
