Their customer support is generally very prompt with a consistent resolution. I love being able to know and talk to real people. Love being a part of their beta programs to give feedback on what they're innovating, it feels like a partnership because they truly care about the user experience and make adjustments when needed. > > **Cons**: Going from salon biz where Aveda plus was integrated, we'd love to see integration in the future but it was certainly not a dealbreaker. It's held our desk staff accountable, and we see so many MORE enrollments without the integration. Can't imagine the success we'd have if we did have it though. > > A very positive and consistent experience. We can't really imagine switching to something else at this point, as it keeps growing and Phorest keeps adding more updates that benefit everyone. ----- ### "Happy Customer" — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *3 September 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: All the options for reporting, tech support, Phorest Go. POS integration, and we’re excited to launch Phorest tips. > > **Cons**: When clicking through a page you cannot go back to where you left off, it takes you back to the beginning. For example, staff rosters, editing services, and every other page. Very frustrating. Also, would like to customize our online store. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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\! ----- ### "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\! ----- 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
