A nail studio runs on per-technician diaries, fast rebookings and tight product stock. LABÉAU gives each technician their own schedule, updates polish and gel stock as you sell, and tracks commissions automatically.
Quick answer
The best nail salon software for Malaysia and Singapore is LABÉAU: per-technician online booking with accurate service durations, fast checkout, gel and polish inventory that decrements as you sell, automatic commission and tip tracking, WhatsApp reminders that cut no-shows, and LHDN/IRAS e-invoicing built in — from RM174.92/month with a 30-day free trial. General POS systems such as StoreHub and Qashier handle payments well but cannot run a technician diary; Fresha books appointments but offers no e-invoicing or WhatsApp.

Why generic booking apps struggle in a nail studio
Nail work is unusually unforgiving of a bad calendar. Service times vary widely — a soak-off plus builder gel is not a express manicure — and if durations are wrong the diary either overbooks the technician or leaves dead air. Buffers matter as much as the appointment itself.
Then there is stock. A studio can carry two hundred colours across gel, builder and regular polish, plus tips, files and top coats. Counting that by hand is a Sunday job nobody does twice, so most studios simply run out of the shade everyone wants. Stock that decrements at checkout is what turns that from a memory exercise into a report.
Rebooking is the whole business
Gel grows out on a schedule, which makes nails one of the most naturally repeat-driven services in beauty — and makes a missed rebooking unusually expensive. A client who leaves without a next appointment is a client who books wherever has availability in three weeks.
The fix is unglamorous: prompt the rebooking at checkout while the client is still in the chair, and let WhatsApp handle the ones who did not. LABÉAU tracks each client’s typical interval and can nudge on that rhythm rather than on a generic monthly blast.

LABÉAU is built for nail studios with per-technician booking, fast checkout, product inventory, automatic commissions, WhatsApp reminders and LHDN/IRAS e-invoicing — from RM174.92/month with a 30-day free trial.
Use a system where stock decrements at the point of sale rather than being counted manually. LABÉAU deducts product as it is sold or consumed, raises low-stock alerts before you run out of a popular shade, and keeps supplier details against each item for reordering.
Yes. LABÉAU calculates tiered commissions on services and retail plus tip allocation automatically at checkout, per technician, so payroll is a report rather than a month-end spreadsheet reconstruction.
