I have nothing but positive things to say about Phorest and their employees. Pros Their customer service and ongoing ability to adapt to the expanding needs in our medical spa has surpased my expectations of a company. Cons Constant updates. It's a good thing, but there can be bugs. Constantly having to tell clients, I'm sorry, bear with me, we just updated can be taxing.

Anytime I have questions or need support they are right there to help you! Plus their marketing features are amazing! Pros Phorest has the BEST reporting system I have ever worked with! Every time I need a number to support my teams growth it is so easy to find! Also, their customer service is EXCEPTIONAL! Cons The only con I can think of is that there is no way to "split" retail. My salon specializes and when they share a client there is no way to "share" the retail at checkout. But I reported this issue and have been told they are working on it!

Pros Ease of booking online. Dedicated support is nice. Built In marketing. Inventory systems are easy to use Cons Features are bugged and take forever to get fixed.

We love working with our rep Anna and she always takes the time to walk us through all our new updates! Pros I love all the functions and how many things the system provides for even just the intro package. There are so many functions that we still don’t even utilize, but it’s great knowing they are there!

Very salon friendly, good options to customize the service to fit the specific needs of our salon. Pros The app and desk top are Easy to use and always works well for the salon staff and clients. Lots of ways to customize for personalization Cons I don’t like that the save card on file is hard to see when checking out. Saving the card is on as the default, should be something you have to click on to save.

August 13, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been great! The customer service is great. If I ever have a problem and need troubleshooting help, it's always available. Pros Phorest has all the tools you need to build a successful business. It's way more advanced than all other platforms I've used. Cons I do wish Phorest was a bit more affordable for smaller businesses. I don't mind paying for a platform the is advanced but $300/month seems a bit steep for a solo aesthetician. Alternatives considered [GlossGenius](https://www.capterra.com/p/174830/GlossGenius/) Reason for choosing Phorest There is more to offer and it's more suited towards spas.

The staff we interact with and support we get are truthfully our favorite part. Pros Ease of use and appointment booking by far are my favs. Email and text marketing are a close second place. Cons The app is occasionally buggy, but not a deal breaker. For my end on the fly I need the app to be ready for me whenever because I am on the move and not in front of a PC.

For someone who is not tech savvy having the ability to quickly jump on a call and navigate the site with a Phorest employee has been very helpful. Pros We are a salon company with 5 locations and navigating Phorest can sometimes be overwhelming, the ability to receive personalize support in a timely manner is a game changer. Cons When looking back at our old booking system, we did have the ability to see retail history with guests differently for our Service Providers.

Pros I love the community, they are more than helpful and handle all issues in a timely manner. It makes it super easy to ask the chat on our desktop to get to ant shortcut answers. Anytime there is technical issues they are able to address them immediately. The scheduling features make it easy for our front of house to properly book our staff according to their proper availability. Cons There hasn't been anything in particular that has had us dislike phorest.

They charge inflated prices for simple things and hide the charges so you aren't aware of them. They introduce new features which sound great but in reality don't work and then charge you a higher subscription for their software for the new features when don't work. For example they introduced a feature called client reconnect which is supposed to text clients when they are overdue their appointment but it just doesn't work, yet they charge an extra £40/month for it. Also if you have multiple sites, none of their reports or stock inventory work across multiple locations so you have to go into each location to run reports or get stock information which is very time consuming. It also doesn't link into any other software or marketing software so you have to do work arounds and manual exports if you want to use your client data in facebook or email marketing. The email and text marketing within Phorest is expensive and poor quality compared to industry specific software so another downside to Phorest. There are many much superior softwares available that are cheaper, easier to run and integrate easier into other business softwares. Having stuck with Phorest for over 5 years now I wish I had made a move to better software years ago. Pros The appointment diary is simple and visual but basic. There is an online reputation manager which helps you manage your online reviews but now I have seen what other systems can do I think it is basic and its only available when you are on their most expensive package. Cons The company has hidden charges which they deduct at source so you can't see them or audit them. They consistently over charge and apply higher charges to bills than your original contract and insist on payment by direct debit so its not easy to detect them. They manipulate your data without knowledge or consent, for example they opted many of my clients out of being able to receive marketing information without my knowledge, I only discovered by accident and it turned out to have been an issue in their software which they denied to begin with but then had to admit it was their fault. I have no idea if they corrected the fault just with my account or whether other customers who have been affected but are still in the dark. A few years ago they made a major to how their online booking system worked, but didn't inform any of their clients so all our online bookings on our website went down and again it took a few weeks for them to admit the mistake was theirs, but it still cost me thousands with my website developer to re-design my website to overcome their change which is incredibly poor change management and poor knowledge of their customers and how they use the software. Switched from [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) I made the switch to Phorest after a competitive tendering system, where Phorest made various written representations about the features, benefits and pricing so came out top on the tender requirements, however when the software was installed, it came out that many of the features that they had confirmed the software did were 'in development' and some of them had still not been launched over 5 years later...

Pros The ability to manage my schedule from my phone, and to check reports from my phone. I also like the ability to check my service/retail sales etc from my phone in real time.

Phorest proved to be a reliable tool for effective salon operations, despite not being specifically relevant to my field. The software's client management and appointment scheduling functions supported efficient organization and improved customer experience. Wider clientele was attracted, and customer retention increased, thanks to the integrated marketing tools. Overall, Phorest proved to be a useful tool for streamlining salon operations and attaining business objectives because to its user-friendly design and extensive features. Pros A whole range of features designed especially for salon businesses are available through Phorest. Appointment scheduling, client management, and staff organization are made simple by its user-friendly interface. The software's powerful marketing options, which include automated SMS and email campaigns, aid in bringing in new clients and keeping existing ones. The integrated point-of-sale system from Phorest makes inventory management and transactions simple. Salon owners may receive insightful information about the operation of their businesses and make data-driven decisions with the help of thorough reporting and analytics. The Phorest mobile app improves the whole customer experience by offering salon staff and customers comfort and flexibility. Cons The price of Phorest is a disadvantage because it could be too expensive for smaller or independent salons. Some users might initially have a high learning curve and find it difficult to become familiar with all the functions and customization possibilities. Despite the fact that Phorest provides a wide range of capabilities, some unique needs or specialty salon operations could call for further modification or integration with specialized software. Additionally, sporadic technological issues or downtime may have an adverse effect on salon operations and inconvenience clients.
