Sample engagement

The five-chair salon that cut rebook gap by 2.3 weeks.

Five chairs. Three stylists. Phorest holding the diary, Excel holding the rebook reality.

An independent salon in west London ran Phorest for bookings but tracked rebooks in a stylist WhatsApp group. Two-week build: rebook prompts timed to each service interval, per-stylist rebook dashboard surfaced to the owner's Monday review, deposit-on-confirm for new clients and colour services, formula-card add-on layered into Phorest. Six months in: rebook gap from 7.4 weeks to 5.1, pre-booked colour appointments up 34%, no-shows on deposit slots near zero.

How we measure: Rebook gap measured per stylist from Phorest appointment history (n = 412 returning clients pre, 487 post); pre-booked colour share = appointments scheduled at exit ÷ total colour appointments, rolling quarter.
