Zero support, obsolete and ugly software After finally signing up to their 1yr subscription the support has been non-existent. Support doesn't answer any questions or emails at all. They don't react to critical app errors or crashes. Phorest was founded in 2002 and that's very obvious from the looks and design of the Windows software. It's clearly from that era, still. It's clumsy, outdated, ugly and has zero configurability even in most basic features. Phorest is the last dinosaur in the modern era of web-based booking systems. It lacks upsell features, online booking customization and many other standard online booking features. I was promised by sales that there will be a web-based system coming in Q1/2022. That's my only hope, hence the 2nd star. Otherwise, in it's current state, I would stay very far away from this ancient relic. I cannot recommend this to anyone.

Phorest has been our Booking &… Phorest has been our Booking & Marketing provider for 15+ years. There has never been a time that they have failed to deliver 100% service levels. Every individual I deal with has knowledge and the required expertise to keep our salon business running. With Phorest you grow more..............

Absolutely love Phorest Absolutely love Phorest, it has been a game changer for my business. Easy to navigate for both staff and clients. Was simple to set up with the Phorest team and I’ve recommended to many others.

More than happy Our salon has been using Phorest now for a few years and are more than happy with it. We switched from a “free” software package which just didn’t allow us the flexibility, marketing, reporting like Phorest does. The software is always improving and the development team always take on board suggestions from salon owners too. The onboarding process of transferring all appointments and client data from our previous software was easy and without any complications. Overall, if you are considering software for your salon then I would highly recommend Phorest.

Getting Better I've updated my review based on progress. Whilst things are improving and communication is much better, we are still weeks behind being fully up and running because of the delays. That being said, the more we are managing to get set up with the software, the more impressed we are with it. Let's hope this continues.
