Guests expect seamless service, staff need clear direction, and behind the scenes, there\u2019s a host of moving parts that nobody should ever see wobble. Add in multiple sites, dozens of team members, and a client base that knows exactly what \u201cpremium\u201d looks like\u2026 and let\u2019s be honest, things can get complicated, fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why at Phorest, we\u2019re raising the bar with the August 2025 Collection. Think of it as your toolkit for smoother days \u2013 updates designed to make your system faster, more flexible, and tailored for ambitious businesses (just like yours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because while you\u2019re busy running an empire, you shouldn\u2019t be bogged down by inefficient workflows or outdated tools. You deserve a system that moves at your pace (and sometimes, ahead of it). After all, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spabusiness.com\/wellness-products-and-services\/Australias-wellness-economy-is-one-of-the-fastest-growing-in-Asia-Pacific-new-GWI-report-finds\/356915\">Australia\u2019s $126.7 billion<\/a> beauty and wellness industry, the businesses that thrive are the ones that can deliver not just beautiful results, but beautifully simple experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Next Generation of Management Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it: the bigger your business grows, the less patience you have for clunky systems. When you\u2019re juggling multiple sites, hundreds of clients, and a busy team, you need technology that\u2019s not just keeping up\u2026 but actually helping you breathe a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Phorest 10: the fastest, most flexible version of Phorest yet. Built for scale, it adapts to the way you run things (and not the other way around).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multi-site operators can keep multiple appointment books open across tabs, and flip between them faster than a blow-dry on express mode..<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leaders on the go can log in from any browser or device, no longer chained to a single computer at reception.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Owners managing big teams can filter appointment screens by staff, set breaks for groups in one go, and keep control of the moving parts without the noise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just a new set of features. It\u2019s about giving premium salons, spas, and clinics the one thing money can\u2019t buy: calmer, smoother days. With P10, every click feels effortless, and every process takes a little less time, so you can focus on growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appointment Management Without the Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Appointments should feel like opportunities, not obstacles. But when you\u2019re managing multiple locations and a team that never slows down, even the best-run calendar can start to feel like a battlefield. That\u2019s why the latest updates to Phorest\u2019s appointment screen are designed to make the chaos melt away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as giving your front desk superpowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Drag-and-drop rescheduling<\/strong> allows you to move an entire series of bookings at once. Because plans change, and fixing them shouldn\u2019t take all afternoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intuitive data selection<\/strong> lets you skip through weeks in seconds, keeping you one step ahead of being buried in clicks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-staff breaks<\/strong> let you block time for the whole team in one go. Goodbye, tedious admin; hello, stress-free staff meetings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Staff filtering<\/strong> means you only see the schedules that matter; no more wading through unnecessary noise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is this: a smoother calendar that reduces errors, keeps clients happy, and frees your team to actually connect with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s the kicker \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/professionalbeauty.co.uk\/only-29-percent-new-salon-clients-rebook-phorest-research\">45% of salon, spa, and clinic clients<\/a> prefer to book appointments online wherever possible. Given that clients value convenience, why not give them exactly what they want, by running your scheduling seamlessly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalisation That Matches Your Brand&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For premium businesses, the details matter. The treatment menu, the lighting, even the way your team greets clients at the door \u2013 all of this is carefully designed to reflect your brand. So, why should your software feel any different?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Phorest 10, you can now tailor the look and feel of your system to match your identity. Swap out the Phorest \u201cP\u201d for your own logo, upload your brand colours, and watch as your appointment screen takes on a look that feels uniquely yours. It\u2019s a subtle change, sure, but one that makes a surprising impact,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because here\u2019s the truth \u2013 when your tools reflect your brand, they stop feeling generic, and start feeling bespoke. And for multi-site salons, spas, and clinics where consistency is everything, that sense of alignment matters more than you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just about aesthetics, either. It\u2019s about logging into a system each morning that feels like an extension of your business (and not an outsider you\u2019re forced to work with). Plus, if you\u2019re going to spend hours a day with a piece of software, it should look and feel as polished as the experience you deliver to clients. Small touch, big pride.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smarter Consultations for Stronger Client Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In high-end salons, spas, and clinics, the consultation isn\u2019t just paperwork. It\u2019s the foundation of trust. Clients come to you expecting not only expertise, but also a seamless, professional experience from the very first interaction. That\u2019s where the latest updates to Consultation Forms come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can add a field for uploading imagery, staff signatures for a clear audit trail, attach multiple forms to a single service for more detailed treatments, and even brand your forms with your logo. It\u2019s compliance, professionalism, and client reassurance, all wrapped into one smooth process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture this: a client books in for a skin treatment. Instead of juggling clipboards or chasing signatures later, your team completes everything digitally in a system that reflects your brand. Every form is signed, securely stored, and ready to reference across multiple locations if needed. The outcome? Clients feel cared for, your team feels organised, and you gain more time to focus on delivering exceptional results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because stronger client care doesn\u2019t come from more admin; it comes from smarter systems that keep operations running smoothly in the background. And when your consultations are this seamless, clients notice. They trust you more, return more often, and recommend you more widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving Time Back to Owners and Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask any salon, clinic, or spa owner what they need more of, and chances are, it\u2019s not another spreadsheet. It\u2019s time \u2013 to lead, to grow, to create space for new ideas (and maybe even to leave work before the sun goes down). In fact, research shows that business leaders lose an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/startupsmagazine.co.uk\/article-how-smes-lose-day-week-admin-and-what-do-about-it\">eight hours a week<\/a> to admin. That\u2019s a full workday that could be spent focusing on strategy, team development, or client experience instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phorest 10 was built with that reality in mind. By streamlining everyday admin,, the system helps shave hours off the week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine an owner managing three bustling clinics logging in from their browser. Within minutes, they\u2019ve checked rosters, approved forms, and reviewed upcoming appointments across all sites. No logging in and out, no endless tab-switching, no firefighting. Instead, you\u2019ve got clarity, speed, and control\u2026 all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Phorest, we know that smoother workflows aren\u2019t just about efficiency. They\u2019re about creating breathing room; the kind of time that fuels better decisions, stronger leadership, and a healthier work-life balance. And when the system behind your business is working this hard for you, you and your team can finally focus on what matters most: delivering the premium experience your clients expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toward Smoother Days with the August Collection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running multiple sites doesn\u2019t have to mean running yourself ragged. With Phorest 10, you get the freedom to move faster, the flexibility to manage more, and the confidence that your system works just as hard as you do. It\u2019s the kind of upgrade that turns chaotic days into smoother ones\u2026 and lets you spend more time doing what actually matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what the 2025 August Collection is all about: helping salons, spas, and clinics unlock new levels of efficiency, growth, and client care. Every update in this release is designed with you in mind \u2013 so your business feels less like a juggling act, and more like a well-oiled machine.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative overflow-hidden bg-green-dark\" >\n        <div class=\"container py-16 px-12 lg:py-24 flex items-center justify-center flex-wrap relative z-10\">\n         <div class=\"w-full mr-0 mb-6 md:mr-12 md:mb-0 md:w-2\/3\">\n         <h2 class=\"text-white mb-2 text-3xl text-center md:text-left lg:text-4xl\" style=\"color:white;\">\n          <p><strong>Ready to see what smoother days look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n\n                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/custom-demo\/?request_type=Demo%20request\" class=\" button bg-yellow text-white hover:bg-yellow-light md:px-8 rounded-none mb-4 sm:mb-0\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">\n            Book a Demo\n          <\/a>\n                \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running a successful salon, spa, or clinic is a bit like running a five-star hotel.
