PHOREST TAKES TO THE STREETS TO CELEBRATE 2026 CLIENT EXPERIENCE AWARD WINNERS

Phorest teams are hand-delivering awards to salons and clinics across the UK & Ireland

Phorest, the leading software in salon, spa and clinic management with over 12,000+ customers globally, is once again taking its Client Experience Awards (CEAs) directly to the businesses that have earned them, with team members heading out across the UK & Ireland to personally congratulate some of this year’s winners.

Part of a global Phorest initiative, the annual awards recognise salons and clinics that consistently deliver a great experience for their clients. There are no entries, judging panels or votes. Instead, the winners are determined by verified client reviews collected through Phorest’s system, with businesses required to maintain an average rating of at least four out of five stars across the calendar year.

Phorest team members are getting out and about across the UK & Ireland to deliver to some customers in person, meeting the teams behind the reviews and celebrating their achievements with them.

Phorest CEO and Founder Ronan Perceval also joined the initiative, taking to the streets of Dublin to surprise four Phorest customers with their 2026 awards.

His visits included Eoin Wright at Foundation, Tamar Chambers at Robert Chambers, Aidan O’Connell at Fade Laser and Kimika at Maru Hair Tokyo, personally congratulating each business and getting the chance to catch up with the teams.

Luke Doolin, UK & Ireland Country Manager at Phorest, comments:

“What I love about the Client Experience Awards is that they come directly from client feedback. There’s no application to complete or judging panel to impress. It’s simply recognition that these businesses are giving their clients a consistently great experience.”

“Hand-delivering some of the awards has become a really important part of it for us too. We spend so much time talking to our customers, but there’s nothing quite like actually getting into their salons and clinics, meeting the teams and being able to congratulate them in person.”

“It was great to have Ronan out in Dublin delivering some of the awards himself this year. It shows that however much Phorest grows, staying close to our customers is still incredibly important to us.”

The Client Experience Awards have been running since 2015 and recognise salons, spas and clinics that consistently put their clients first. Personal delivery has become a key part of the initiative, with Phorest team members volunteering to visit winners in their local regions. In 2025, 640 awards were hand-delivered worldwide.

With the 2026 deliveries now taking place across the UK & Ireland, more salon and clinic teams will be receiving their awards personally from members of the Phorest team over the coming weeks.

Congratulations to all the UK & Ireland winners of the 2026 Phorest Client Experience Awards.
