Phorest Tips has been a game changer for the business and Stylists. > > **Cons**: sometimes reports are hard to find, as there are so many. It would be nice to filter specific reports without all of the other data. > > it has streamlined my ability to run and keep track of reports for stylists and the business. Phorest Tips is also an incredible tool as well ----- ### "Excellent Product" — 5.0/5 > **Christina** | *February 12, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use, keeping track of clients history, notes, the chat feature in the desktop version, and the quick response from support if I need help with anything. I also like if I add products to my clients tab then exit out of it - it will remember the product. > > **Cons**: The price point could be more competitive comparably to other brands. When there are bugs in the system sometimes takes awhile to get it fixed. My client do sometimes get confused by the dates on the reminders - it would be nice if it was changed to Jan/Feb/March instead of numbers as I book appointments 6 months in advance so sometimes the dates get mixed up. > > It's a good product, that makes my job a lot easier. I love the text reminder features as they are very helpful for ensuring my clients arrive when they're scheduled. ----- ### "Easy to use software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *November 13, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The versatility of the software and the use of campaigns, and marketing tools reach a wide variety. the software is easy to use and you can always find what you are looking for. The support is also always helpful. New Staff can also take part in the videos helping to alleviate some of the onboarding. > > **Cons**: Waitlist. It is the only thing that needs improvement, but please don't take the lead from Milano. > > On boarding was easy and every step along the way was supported with a personal consultant. We even had to separate from a second location and that was completed on time and with ease. ----- ### "Phorest Pheedback :)" — 4.0/5 > **Michelle** | *August 14, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to manage my schedule from my phone, and to check reports from my phone. I also like the ability to check my service/retail sales etc from my phone in real time. > > **Cons**: Sometimes when using a laptop or desktop computer, it takes a long time before the reports open, or before I can see the client reviews. Also the waiting list feature should not be specific to a certain date or time. > > I think it makes all the staff more conscious of the revenue they are bringing in and how close they are to meeting their goals. ----- ### "Excellent salon- Spa Salon Software System" — 5.0/5 > **Adriana** | *February 12, 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent appointment management system as well as POS security, their online booking system helps us a lot to save time and money.
