Client management and scheduling appointments are simple. > > **Cons**: It's is pricey. The ads service alone is $100 a month plus an additional payment for the ads itself is a bit of a stretch for us. > > Overall, it has been great service by the Phorest team, you guys truly have great staff. Also, the online booking site is easy to use for clients. ----- ### "Great overall salon software" — 4.0/5 > **Andrea** | *12 February 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the customer service and the fact that I can get in touch with someone and they get back to me right away if they don’t know something. > > **Cons**: The price is higher than all other platforms similar, I feel like if I have two locations we should be able to split sms msgs between both locations, I’m paying for them already and if I don’t use all in one location I should have ability to use at other location. > > Great\! I like that it’s seamless and the reports are great. It’s very easy to use and customizable. Love\! ----- ### "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. ----- ### "My honest review" — 4.0/5 > **Natasha** | *13 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it’s really user friendly for clients and salon. They have amazing customer service\! I love that there is an app I can use and so can my employees. That it’s the same fee every month and everything I need to use for the system is included. I like the weekly reports and all that too. > > **Cons**: That it won’t let a client book more then one kids haircut together. And I hardtime adjusting to the cost. I think it’s worth it but still seem like a decent amount. But I do love the features > > I’m really happy I made the switch. It’s been a very smooth transition. I love that they do a yearly audit too. Really makes sure your utilizing all the benefits ----- ### "One of the best Spa management software." — 4.0/5 > **Syed** | *29 August 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I been in spa business for more than 15 years, we are unique so have unique challenges, I moved to Phorest almost 7 years ago, i have used several management softwares, and tested many other platfrom before deciding on phorest. I will say phorest in features is one of the best software out there. I love appointment managemetn system, scheudling, and tons of other features that you cannot find in other spa management softwares, Phorest has done incredible job understanding need of spas and setting up everything in convenient way. Pricing wise its on much higher side, I hope Phorest will consider pricing structure making it much more affordable > > **Cons**: I am not happy with high pricing, I personally feel phorest can revise pricing making it more affordable. > > I am happy with Phorest, there are still need of few specific features (for instance billing to customer for taking payment through a link , and some promotional features that I would defintely want part of it, hopefully it will be developed by their team in near future. Overall i am satisfied with customer services and ease of using phorest. ----- 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
