Real impact. Sound people. Growing together.
We're the life force behind 155,000+ salons, spas and clinics worldwide, and we are built by people who put each other first. Come build it with us.
It all started in a Dublin Salon
Our journey began in 2002, when our founder and CEO, Ronan Perceval, was working reception in a busy salon and saw it losing money to no-shows every week. So he built a simple text-reminder tool to fix it.
Over 20 years later, we’re a team of nearly 500 and growing. We build the software and AI-driven tools our customers need to run their business, manage bookings, take payments, market their services and inspire their teams.
Every team at Phorest is focused on helping salon, spa and clinic owners thrive. That’s the mission you’d be signing up for: not just writing code or closing deals, but helping build something bigger.
We’re proud of where we’ve come from, and excited about where we’re going.
Remote first, together when it counts
In 2020 we moved to working remotely. Our people loved it, and we found we don’t need to be together in an office every day to be successful, so we’ve stayed remote first.
In Ireland and the UK, everyone works from home by default, with the option to use our Dublin office if they’re local. It’s designed for collaboration rather than maximum desks, with lots of social spaces indoors and out. Also, lots of plants!
It’s very flexible: some local teams meet weekly, others monthly, and we all get together a couple of times a year for our famous Gatherings.

Six reasons Phoresters keep choosing Phorest
1. Work that matters
We're building the tools salon, spa and medspa owners rely on every day. Most don’t have dedicated marketing, finance or tech people: we’re creating the tools for them to make all of that easier. Our clients love us, and you’ll see your impact first hand.
2. Sound people, no ego
We asked our own people to describe Phorest. They said that we're approachable, straightforward, easy to work with. No hierarchy in how people interact, and genuine support: people here really want to help each other.
3. Trust, ownership, impact
We trust our people to do their best for our customers and for Phorest. We give a lot of empowerment, autonomy and ownership. That can feel like a stretch at times, but you’ll have the support you need alongside it.
4. We grow our own timber
Developing our people (growing our timber) is a core value of Phorest culture. Deepen your craft. Move teams. Step into leadership. However you want to grow, we want you to feel supported, challenged, and backed to build a meaningful career here.
5. Flexibility that works
Flexibility isn’t just about where you work. We trust our people to manage their own time, so school drop-offs and medical appointments are never a problem. Find the rhythm that works for work and home together.
6. A can-do culture with purpose
We’re positive, proactive and always looking for a better way. It’s a culture built on passion, ownership and helping each other succeed. And as a Certified B Corp, that energy extends to our people, our community and the planet.
