Do you have plans in January? We do, and you’re invited. Phorest is hosting our 8th annual Salon Owners Summit on January 7th and 8th, 2024, in Dublin, Ireland. The two-day event will bring together some of the biggest names in the salon industry to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities facing salon owners today.

Salon owners travel from all over the world, including the US, Canada, Germany, Finland, Ireland, and the UK, all looking for the same thing: to elevate their business. Attendees will also be the first to know and get access to our latest features and tech innovations to help make the day-to-day in the salon that bit easier”.
