Celebrating Success with the 2024 Phorest Client Experience Awards

Posted on the 11 October 2024 by Jennquinn

At Phorest, we believe that every salon experience should leave clients feeling not just pampered, but absolutely delighted. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the winners of the 2024 Client Experience Awards – an annual celebration of salons, clinics, and spas that consistently go above and beyond to deliver exceptional services and unforgettable experiences.

Each year, this prestigious award recognises the Phorest salons that have earned top-notch ratings and reviews from their clients. These businesses are the shining stars of the hair and beauty industry. We’re proud to celebrate their dedication to client care.

But that’s not all – this year, we were so excited to honor some of our winners that the Phorest team went out to hand-deliver awards to the salons, clinics, and spas located near them. It’s been an incredible journey of recognition, and we’re delighted to share in the joy of these well-deserved achievements.

What Is the Client Experience Award?

The Phorest Client Experience Awards are all about celebrating hair and beauty businesses that truly understand the importance of client satisfaction. They are awarded to salons that consistently receive outstanding reviews and high client ratings on the Phorest system; an average of 4-5 stars from at least 60 reviews over the past 12 months. It’s more than just great haircuts or beauty treatments – it’s about delivering memorable experiences that keep clients coming back, time and time again.

These businesses exemplify the best of what the salon, clinic, and spa industry has to offer, demonstrating the perfect blend of skill, service, and client care.

A Special Delivery – Hand-Delivering Awards to Winners

This year, we had the pleasure of doing something we’ve never done before – hand-delivering the Client Experience Award to salons, clinics, and spas across the globe! From Ireland to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Finland, Germany, and beyond, the Phorest team  hit the road to personally celebrate with these award-winning salons. It’s not every day you get to meet face-to-face with these incredible teams, and we were honoured to share in these special moments.

To us, it was more than handing over an award – it was about connecting with our community, hearing their stories, and even offering a bit of ad-hoc support where needed! 

And we got there anyway we could- check out our Head of Product, Mikey below- braving the roads of Galway, Ireland, on his bike to hand out awards in his area!

Another stand-out moment was at Hazel & Haydn Hairdressing in Birmingham, England, where we were greeted by their adorable dog at the reception desk.

Whether it was helping adjust settings on their Phorest systems, chatting about future plans, or simply sharing in the excitement of their achievements, each visit helped fuel the connections that make our Phorest community so unique.
