Not only have we learnt some invaluable new tools and tricks to show our team, but we have met the most incredible bunch of independent salon owners. Opening up my second salon in the last year has been quite a lonely place, and coming to an event like this has showed me that I am not alone. Thank you @phorestsalonsoftware , you have given people the perk they needed to pep them up for the year.

It was such a great experience. I loved learning more about Phorest and its features. I enjoyed connecting with other salons and learning from their experiences. I left feeling very inspired and ready to take action when I got home!

I always like the great atmosphere at the Summit. Everyone is friendly and open. I think it's great that the programmers are there and are approachable for ideas and problems. The whole Phorest team is friendly and helpful. there was a unique atmosphere all weekend. and it's nice to meet people you mostly only know from emails, or not at all, for those who only work "in house

Not like any conference I’ve been to before and I’m so ignited and ready to make changes that I started 18 months ago and doubted myself. Phorest you got me fired up again to do it! Thank you and see you again next year! If your salon owner didn’t go this year then book now for 2024, it’s a CRIME to miss!!!!
