Apps make appointment booking quicker and easier. With the average amount of time people spend on their smartphones increasing every year, giving your clients a salon-branded app keeps your business front-of-mind while also making it easier for smartphone users to book appointments without having to search online. In fact, with 88% of people spending more of their time browsing mobile apps than websites, having a salon app created especially for your business is essential to fully benefit from online bookings.

Earn Award-Worthy Reviews with Phorest’s Online Reputation Manager 4:55

Ask any salon owner. Referrals drive our industry. It doesn’t matter how good you are at selling your business, word-of-mouth will always have a special power. It’s psychology. You have heard it a million times: humans are social creatures. Referrals and online reviews appeal to our very human need for trust and validation. They offer us an example of social proof. And now that a serious amount of our social life has migrated online, online reviews are more important than ever. To read the blog, click here .

Unlock Revenue With An Intelligent Salon Integration 3:47

When Mayfair & Grace bought a four-story, historic former bank, they were guaranteed to stand out in Tetbury, a small market town in Gloucestershire, UK. However, it could have been a logistical nightmare. Owner Patsy Robertson is often downstairs in reception or her office, while the team is dispersed across the four floors, facing numerous journeys up and down the staircase. Fortunately, technology aids the team while helping Patsy monitor the ebb and flow of daily business. To read the blog, click here .

Why the Most Profitable Salons in 2025 Are Saying “No” to Marketplace Platforms 12:43

23 days ago12:43

12:43

A few years ago, online marketplaces seemed like the perfect solution for busy salon, spa, and clinic owners. They offered more visibility, easier bookings, and a steady stream of new clients – what wasn’t to love? But in 2025, something has changed. Today’s most successful salons, spas, and clinics aren’t chasing short-term bookings. They’re building long-term relationships. They’re investing in loyalty, branded experiences, and client journeys they control, from start to finish. This isn’t just a shift in strategy; it’s a shift in mindset. To read the blog, click here .

According to Phorest research, only 50% of hair and beauty businesses have a lead management system in place. Without a system, even a handful of missed leads each week adds to serious lost revenue. With the right tools, you can collect their details, automate follow-up communication, and turn that curiosity into a confirmed booking. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to simplify or upgrade your current process, here’s why Lead Management can make a difference. To read the blog, click here .

Celebrating the Heart of the Salon, Spa, and Clinic on Hairdresser Appreciation Day 7:56

In every salon, spa, or clinic, there’s a quiet kind of magic happening every day. It’s in the way a stylist helps someone see themselves with new confidence. In the care a therapist shows to a client who needs a moment to breathe. And in the dedication it takes to keep showing up – with energy, creativity, and heart. On Hairdresser Appreciation Day this year, we wanted to go beyond “thank you”. We reached out to the incredible professionals in the Phorest community to ask: What keeps your team passionate about what they do? And who, on your team, deserves to be recognised for it? The answers were full of humanity. Today, we’re sharing their stories – the big and small moments that drive this industry forward and remind us all why this work truly matters.

The UK Salon Industry is in Crisis, But You Can Help 4:14

With the announcement of the UK’s Spring Statement, it seems that the professional hair and beauty industry continues to suffer at the hands of the Government. Change needs to happen. And fast. This growing crisis in the industry is largely caused by the Government’s unfair two-tier tax system, which forces local salons to pay 3X the amount of taxes that other businesses on the high street pay. These crippling conditions are threatening the livelihood of 90,000 hairdressers, barbers, and beauty professionals across the United Kingdom. Sign the Save Our Salons petition here.

Mastering the Client Lifecycle: Kati Whitledge’s Framework for Winning & Keeping Clients 9:38

7 weeks ago9:38

At the intersection of love and people is the human need for connection. Between people and marketing, the human longing to feel recognised and engaged in ways that matter. And where marketing and love meet, we find authentic expression and real stories. But there’s something really quite special at the intersection of a “love for love”, people and marketing. If you recognise yourself in that, like Kati Whitledge, you likely have an innate (or developed), profound understanding of the art of matchmaking. Marketing guru, podcaster, and the founder of mya , Kati’s core message at the Salon Owners Summit 2025 was clear: marketing is the key to business success—and it works just like dating and marriage. These insights stem from her refreshing talk, emphasizing the emotional connection behind consumer decisions and how salons can leverage this understanding to build lasting relationships with clients.
