Phorest lets salons price the stylist, not just the service

◆Current state
Two back-of-house releases landed the same day. Staff pricing can now be set per individual staff member per service, replacing a model where variation came only from branch price or staff category, and it carries through to booking, checkout and online. Alongside it, everything a staff member is qualified for — service, service time, development time, finish time — collapses into one table instead of several screens. Brand creation also stops requiring a support ticket.
◆Where it's heading
The recent run is consistently about removing steps from daily front-desk and manager work: clock-in by geofence, client lookup on the diary, transactions on the client card, voice notes, and now self-serve brands and consolidated staff setup. The direction is deepening the operational core rather than expanding into new surfaces like marketing or payments.
◆Prediction
With pricing now granular to the individual staff member, the pressure moves to reporting — expect the analytics side to gain per-staff revenue views that make the new pricing dimension readable.

    Add New Brands

    Adding a product brand no longer means contacting Phorest: users search the global catalog and create a brand inline if it is missing. A small self-serve unlock in the same vein as the rest of this window's admin reduction.

    Pricing just got personal

    Pricing gains a per-staff-member, per-service dimension that flows through booking, checkout and online, and staff qualifications with their timing details move into one table. It refines an existing pricing model rather than introducing a new one, but it is the most consequential change in this window.
