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. > > Exemplary customer services and a willing to work with our needs and feedback. I have nothing but positive things to say about Phorest and their employees. ----- ### "Phorest for life\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kendra** | *15 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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\! > > Overall experience with Phorest is SO good\! Anytime I have questions or need support they are right there to help you\! Plus their marketing features are amazing\! ----- ### "Has a lot of potential" — 3.0/5 > **Angela** | *11 February 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. Feature will be launched with known issues with no timeline of resolution. > > Overall fair, has improved over the last year, but I’m getting frustrated with the lack of bug fixes for waitlist and package updates. ----- ### "Best Salon software" — 5.0/5 > **Hayley** | *11 February 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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\! > > **Cons**: I wish there was a phone number that I could call and get someone immediately when I have a question about the system > > Overall, it’s a great experience\! We love working with our rep Anna and she always takes the time to walk us through all our new updates\! ----- ### "Easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Maria** | *11 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Simple to use and works well. Very salon friendly, good options to customize the service to fit the specific needs of our salon. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/113530/phorest-salon-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/113530/phorest-salon-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
