## Reviews

### "The best receptionist ive ever had" — 5.0/5

> **laura** | *15 August 2018* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Online booking option is so helpful as we send it in our automated email response. The ability to fully charge no shows is a really good deterrent also.
> 
> **Cons**: It crashes every once in a while. Usually for no more than 60 minutes and probably only a handful of times a year.  They are very quick to get on top of any problems
> 
> Online booking is such a huge help. The bookings judt keep coming. &#10;Ability to charge for no shows is a god send

### "Amazing personalize support" — 5.0/5

> **Heather** | *19 August 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Overall, our service and support has been outstanding with Phorest.  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.

### "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\!&#10;We love working with our rep Anna and she always takes the time to walk us through all our new updates\!
