    Phorest Salon Software
    It's well suited if you own a salon and are looking for a software to manage all of your needs - stock/inventory, staff schedules, client bookings and rebookings. It's more salon focused than clinic focused (e.g. if you have a wellness center it's not ideal for consent forms for example). Changing staff price offering is a bit time consuming.

    Everyday use is good enough, we don't have an overly complicated product that allows us to complete the tasks given to us and schedule and reschedule the meetings. The ability to allow the user to control the scheduling of meetings and look in the calendar for specific timelines has never been easier. The stress that is on the user is taken away from the user by the tool itself.

    • I would like the ability to search the schedules of all tutors for the next available opening.
    • When scheduling a provider off for a day or if the provider is sick, I would like the program to ask me if I need to cancel all appointments for the provider and allow me to give a message to the client why it is being canceled.
    • Office closed messages. - If I close the office for a week because of vacation, spring break, etc... I would like Schedulicity to cancel all the appointments on the specified dates and give me the option to send a message to my client's explaining why we are closed. Currently, I need to go into each individual provider and mark the days off and then go into each provider's schedule and cancel each appointment. It takes a long time to do this with 14 employees. It would be easier to indicate the business is closed, cancel all provider's appointments on those days, and then have an option to send a notification to clients indicating why the center is closed.

    The support team is awesome. The turnaround is quick and if the software cannot support my current need they are really good about giving me a work around.

    Phorest is a more modern software, although it can still be more intuitive to use its much better than other options out there. I feel it works great for someone who has been using salon software for many years and wants to upgrade to something more modern, or for someone who is switching over from pen and paper to manage their appointments

    This is night and day from the excel spreadsheets we were using to set appts manually. We have seen productivity and scheduling mistakes diminish quickly. Very happy with this product.
