The Hairstyling program at Dynamic Designs training salon is excited to share our digital transformation journey for 2024 with the implementation of two cutting-edge salon software systems – Phorest and Vish. These innovative platforms are designed to enhance both the student learning experience and the operational efficiency of the salon. Here is a closer look at how these new tools are revolutionizing the way we work and learn.
Introducing Phorest: Salon Management
Phorest is a powerful salon management software that simplifies and streamlines the daily operations of the salon. If you have recently booked an appointment at Dynamic Designs, you may have noticed one of the newest features – online booking. Phorest offers a wide range of functions that allow Hairstyling and Esthetics students to become familiar with industry-leading technology.
This tool provides students with the opportunity to develop essential skills they can directly apply in their future careers, ensuring they are well-prepared for the high-tech demands of the ever-evolving beauty industry.
Introducing Vish: Elevating Customer Experience
Vish is a customer-focused tool designed to elevate the salon experience through advanced client communication. By using smart scales with Bluetooth technology and iPads, Vish stores precise colour formulations, helping Hairstyling students engage with clients in new and interactive ways. This tool offers students valuable knowledge for mixing hair colour and delivering tailored customer experiences.
A Hands-On Learning Experience
Integrating Phorest and Vish into our training salon gives students hands-on experience with the tools they will use in their future careers. By engaging with these systems, students will be better equipped to manage a salon, engage with clients and understand the business aspects of the beauty industry.
The addition of these advanced software tools is part of our ongoing commitment to digital transformation and providing students with the most up-to-date tools available. By introducing Phorest and Vish, we are preparing students for a seamless transition into the workforce and setting them up for success in an ever-evolving industry.
Looking Ahead
As we roll out these new systems, students will have the opportunity to work with both Phorest and Vish during their client labs. We are confident that these tools will not only enhance their technical skills but also boost their confidence working in a salon environment and delivering outstanding customer service.
Stay tuned for more updates, and we look forward to seeing how Phorest and Vish will help shape the next generation of beauty professionals at Dynamic Designs!
