Phorest were just leaps and bounds ahead of what any other software company was offering, and I just really liked their vibe…were very open to any suggestions that I had for the system and I thought that was really, really good.
Using Phorest to Establish & Grow a Successful Hair & Beauty Salon
Lisa is one of Phorest’s earliest adaptors, first implementing the system 15 years ago when she established Zinc Hair & Beauty, a salon and educational hub in the heart of Kilmainham, Dublin 8. Despite being a very different software back then, Lisa immediately saw the benefits that Phorest could provide for her new business, and was drawn to the fact that Phorest was founded and based in Ireland; “Something that was very important to me when I was opening my salon was that I wanted to support other Irish businesses… I think what Phorest offered that other salon systems didn’t offer was the reminder text messages, and also the marketing… the fact that you were going to be able to email your clients newsletters and updates was really quite new.”
Even back in 2009, Phorest’s features were “leaps and bounds ahead of what any other software company was offering,” explained Lisa, heading her to take the plunge and implement the system as soon as Zinc Hair & Beauty opened up.
