About Phorest hair salon software<\/summary>\n

Phorest is hair salon software for premium, growth-focused salons \u2014 from multi-stylist independents to multi-location groups. Appointment scheduling, online booking, color formula and service notes, client management, digital consultation forms, POS, integrated payments, inventory, staff rostering, marketing automation, loyalty, and business reporting: everything in one platform, nothing bolted on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You already know your numbers \u2014 average ticket, rebooking rate, retail percentage, room utilisation. What Phorest does is make those numbers visible in real time, by stylist, by service, by campaign, without the exports. And then it acts on them: identifying which clients are drifting before they disappear, reaching out at exactly the right moment, measuring whether your marketing spend actually came back as revenue. The metrics you are obsessed with are the metrics Phorest is built around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phorest’s machine-learning rebooking tool identifies clients who are overdue and sends a personalized message automatically \u2014 no manual chasing. The Staff Goals feature gives every stylist visibility into their own targets, commission tracking, and column performance from their phone, so your team manages their own results rather than waiting for a review. And when something needs attention, you have one person: your dedicated Business Advisor. Not a support queue. 1 in 5 Phoresters have worked in the professional hair, beauty, or aesthetics industry, so when you call, you are talking to someone who already understands the difference between a color correction and a balayage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching software is a real decision \u2014 your client data, service history, gift cards, your front desk’s muscle memory. Phorest’s migration specialists handle the data transfer. Onboarding includes tailored setup and training for your whole team. The process has a clear roadmap before you ever go live, and a transparent pricing structure so there are no surprises on your first invoice. Phorest is used by hair salons across the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, the UAE, and the Netherlands, from single-location salons to multi-location groups. Monthly subscription, no commission on bookings. If you are expanding into skincare, facials, or aesthetic treatments, Phorest covers that from the same platform \u2014 no new tech stack.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
