Barbershop software for chairs, walk-ins & commissions
Barbershops balance booked appointments with walk-ins, and pay barbers on commission or chair rental. LABÉAU handles per-chair diaries, a walk-in queue, fast checkout and automatic barber commissions — without slowing the line.
Quick answer
The best barbershop software for Malaysia and Singapore is LABÉAU: per-chair and per-barber diaries alongside a live walk-in queue, checkout fast enough for a busy Saturday, automatic commission and chair-rental calculations, WhatsApp confirmations and reminders, loyalty for regulars, and LHDN/IRAS e-invoicing built in — from RM174.92/month with a 30-day free trial. TunaiPro and Bookit are cheaper single-shop options; StoreHub and Qashier are retail tills that cannot run a barber diary; Fresha lacks e-invoicing and WhatsApp.

The walk-in problem no booking app solves
Most booking software assumes every client has an appointment. Barbershops do not work that way: a good Saturday is a mix of booked slots and people who walked past and fancied a trim, and the skill is slotting the second group into the gaps without making the first group wait.
That needs a queue that sits alongside the diary rather than replacing it — visible to whoever is on the floor, aware of which barber is free and for how long, and honest with the customer about the wait. Run it on a paper list and you get the classic barbershop failure: someone who waited forty minutes watching booked clients walk straight in.
Chair rental and commission, calculated not argued
Barbershops use every pay model there is — straight commission, tiered commission above a target, flat chair rental, rental plus a product cut. All of them are simple in principle and tedious in practice, especially when retail sales and tips enter the picture.
Getting it wrong is corrosive in a way that a stock error is not: barbers notice their own pay, and a shop that recalculates last month by hand is a shop having the same argument every month. Working it out at the point of sale, under whatever rule that barber is on, removes the argument entirely.
