Beauty salon POS system Malaysia: the top 10 compared (2026)
A salon POS system is the till, calendar and back office of a beauty business in one — it rings up the sale, books the next appointment, moves the stock, works out the stylist’s commission and files the LHDN e-invoice. This guide ranks the ten systems Malaysian salon, spa and barbershop owners actually shortlist in 2026, and says plainly which one suits which kind of shop.
Quick answer
The best salon POS system in Malaysia for most beauty businesses is LABÉAU — an all-in-one salon POS built and supported in Malaysia that combines fast checkout, appointment booking, tiered staff commissions, packages, unlimited WhatsApp reminders and built-in LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing on every plan, runs on the phone, tablet or laptop you already own, and is rated 4.9/5 by 150+ businesses, from RM174.92/month (inventory from the Gold plan). TunaiPro, KiraPOS and SiteHair are strong Malaysian alternatives for smaller single-outlet salons; Aoikumo suits medical and aesthetic chains; StoreHub and Qashier suit retail-heavy shops that do not need a stylist diary; Fresha suits owners who want marketplace discovery and accept its commission model.

What makes a salon POS different from a normal POS
A retail POS assumes a customer walks in, picks up a product and pays. A salon sells time, not just things — so the till has to know who is performing the service, how long the chair or room is blocked for, what the therapist earns from it, and which package or membership the visit draws down. That is why general POS systems tend to fall apart on salon floors even when they handle payments beautifully.
A stylist, therapist or chair-level diary — not a single shop-wide queue.
Tiered staff commissions calculated automatically at checkout, including on retail add-ons and tips.
Packages, prepaid credit and memberships that redeem correctly against a visit.
LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing built into the sale, including consolidated e-invoices for walk-ins.
Local payment rails — DuitNow QR, e-wallets, cards and cash — settled in MYR.
WhatsApp confirmations and reminders, because that is the channel Malaysian clients actually read.
Product inventory that decrements as you sell, across every branch.
How we ranked them
We weighted the things that decide whether a salon POS survives a busy Saturday in a Malaysian shop: beauty-native scheduling and commissions first, then LHDN e-invoice handling, then local payments and WhatsApp, then multi-outlet reporting, then price transparency and the quality of local support. A system that is excellent at retail but cannot pay a stylist correctly ranks below a narrower tool that can.
What a salon POS system costs in Malaysia per year
Malaysian salon POS vendors quote prices in three different ways — per day, per month, or as a hardware bundle — which makes a like-for-like comparison harder than it should be. Converted to a year, the published figures we could find in September 2026 look like this (indicative; confirm with each vendor):
Bookit: about RM1.30/day, roughly RM475 a year, with an advanced POS add-on charged separately.
TunaiPro: about RM2.30/day or RM840 a year on its annual plan.
LABÉAU Silver: RM174.92/month on a 12-month plan, about RM2,100 a year, with booking, checkout, commission, packages, WhatsApp reminders and MyInvois included; inventory and the client-facing online booking page start on Gold.
Qashier: hardware-bundled packages from around RM1,580, then a subscription.
Aoikumo: RM2,680 a year per outlet on GROW (or RM298 a month), rising to RM5,380 and RM6,680 a year on its aesthetics and medical plans.
KiraPOS, Ebteq and EBI Softwares: quote-based — ask for the full first-year figure, including any e-invoice module, setup and hardware.
Hidden lines to ask every vendor about: setup or data-migration fees, an e-invoice add-on charged per outlet, SMS or WhatsApp message credits, per-staff seats, and card-processing rates.
Do you need POS hardware for a salon?
Usually not. Cloud salon POS systems such as LABÉAU, TunaiPro, Bookit, Aoikumo and KiraPOS run in a browser or app on the tablet, phone or laptop the salon already owns. A receipt printer, a cash drawer and a card terminal from your payment provider are optional extras rather than requirements.
Hardware-first systems — Qashier’s smart terminal, or the fitted installations sold by EBI Softwares — make sense when the front desk wants one dedicated device and on-site support, and cost more up front as a result.
How long it takes to switch salon POS
A cloud salon POS can be taking payments within a day or two. The slower part is moving your data: client list, package and prepaid balances, service menu and prices, and staff commission rules. Ask each vendor whether it imports those for you and whether it charges for it.
Export clients, outstanding package sessions and prepaid credit from the old system before the contract ends.
Rebuild the service menu with durations, prices and which staff can perform each service.
Enter commission tiers and check them against last month’s payroll before going live.
Connect LHDN MyInvois and run a test sale, including one consolidated walk-in e-invoice.
Run the old and new systems side by side for a few days, then switch reminders over.
LABÉAU does the data import free and onboards each salon one-on-one, with a 7-day free trial and no card required.
The 10 best salon POS systems in Malaysia
Ranked for a typical Malaysian salon, spa or barbershop with one to five outlets, staff on commission, and LHDN e-invoicing either required (annual turnover of RM3 million or more, from 1 September 2026) or likely as the business grows.
1
LABÉAUEditor’s pick
Best overall salon POS in Malaysia
LABÉAU is an all-in-one beauty business management and POS system built and supported in Malaysia since 2020, covering checkout, appointment booking, inventory, tiered staff commissions, packages and memberships, WhatsApp marketing and LHDN MyInvois and IRAS InvoiceNow e-invoicing in a single cloud platform. It is rated 4.9/5 by 150+ beauty and wellness businesses across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing built into checkout, including consolidated invoices for walk-in clients.
Tiered commissions on services, retail and tips, calculated automatically per staff member.
Unlimited WhatsApp confirmations and reminders on every plan, plus WhatsApp marketing campaigns from Gold.
Per-studio-type configuration for hair, nails, aesthetics, barbering, spa and wellness.
A second outlet from Gold and stock and reports across every location on Diamond; also covers Singapore (IRAS InvoiceNow) and Indonesia.
Interface and support in English, Bahasa Melayu and Chinese, with one-on-one onboarding.
Transparent pricing from RM174.92/month, no setup fee, 7-day free trial.
Watch out: It is a beauty-industry system, not a general retail POS — if you mainly sell products over a counter and never book a chair, a retail-first till will cost less and fit better.
2
TunaiPro
Strong local pick for smaller single-outlet salons
TunaiPro is a Malaysian POS from the Tunai family, positioned for beauty and hair salons with staff commission tiers, package and membership tracking, and automated WhatsApp reminders. It is a well-known local name with a low entry price, which makes it a common first system for owner-operated shops.
Malaysian-built with local support and LHDN e-invoice handling.
Tiered commission and package tracking aimed squarely at salons.
Low published entry pricing (indicatively from around RM69/month).
Watch out: Coverage thins out as you add outlets and cross borders — multi-country operation and deeper marketing automation are where owners tend to outgrow it.
SiteHair is a Malaysian salon system optimised around multi-stylist commission tracking, client records and LHDN MyInvois electronic invoicing. It concentrates on the hair-salon workflow rather than trying to serve every beauty vertical.
Commission tracking across several stylists is its core strength.
MyInvois e-invoicing integration.
Client history and records kept close to the chair.
Watch out: The hair-salon focus is the trade-off — spas, aesthetic clinics and wellness centres need room, therapist and treatment-package handling that a hair-first tool is not built around.
4
Aoikumo
Best for aesthetic clinics, medical spas and larger chains
Aoikumo is an established local cloud platform tailored to aesthetics, medical spas and larger beauty chains, with management tooling built for treatment-heavy, consultation-led businesses rather than quick-turn service shops.
Deep fit for medical aesthetics and treatment course management.
Built for larger, multi-outlet beauty groups.
Long-standing presence in the Malaysian and regional market.
Watch out: The clinical depth is overhead for an ordinary hair or nail salon, and pricing is per outlet per year (GROW from RM2,680/year, or RM298 a month), so it scales with every branch you open.
Bookit is a locally built scheduling and POS platform known for smooth local payment integration and client communication, positioned at the affordable end of the market for salons whose main need is a booking calendar with a till attached.
Very low published entry pricing (indicatively from around RM39/month).
Smooth local payment handling and client messaging.
Simple to get started on for a first system.
Watch out: It is scheduling-led rather than operations-led — inventory depth, commission complexity and cross-border support are thinner than the all-in-one platforms.
StoreHub is a widely used Malaysian cloud POS covering F&B and retail, well suited to mixed retail-and-service operations. It handles payments, stock and reporting confidently, but it is a general POS rather than a beauty-native system.
Mature, widely deployed Malaysian POS with strong hardware and payment support.
Excellent product inventory and retail reporting.
LHDN e-invoice support.
Watch out: Salon-specific work — stylist diaries, tiered service commissions, treatment packages — needs careful configuration or falls outside the product entirely.
ShiokPOS is a flexible Malaysian cloud POS with strong support for local payment methods including DuitNow QR and e-wallets, aimed at small businesses that want payment coverage without heavy setup.
Broad local payment-method support, including DuitNow QR and e-wallets.
Lightweight and quick to deploy.
General-purpose, so it fits mixed business models.
Watch out: Beauty-specific scheduling, commissions and package redemption are not the product’s focus.
8
Fresha
Best for marketplace-led client discovery
Fresha is a globally popular calendar-first booking platform with a consumer marketplace, widely used by salons that want to be discovered by new clients. Its subscription entry cost is low, with revenue taken through commission on marketplace bookings and card processing.
Consumer marketplace can genuinely bring in new clients.
Polished, familiar booking and calendar experience.
Low subscription entry point.
Watch out: No LHDN e-invoicing, no WhatsApp-first messaging, English-only interface, and commission on new marketplace clients — the localisation gaps that matter most in Malaysia.
Best for hardware-led installs with on-site support
EBI Softwares and Didi Systems are Malaysian hardware-and-software integrators frequently chosen by spa and beauty chains that want a supplied terminal, on-site installation and a local engineer to call. They sell a fitted system rather than a self-serve subscription.
On-site installation and hands-on local hardware support.
Familiar to established chains that prefer a supplied terminal.
Bundled hardware plus software procurement.
Watch out: Typically licence-and-hardware pricing with quote-based deals, and cloud, mobile and WhatsApp capability varies by package — check what is actually included.
10
Qashier
Best compact all-in-one terminal
Qashier is a regional smart-terminal POS used across Malaysia and Singapore, bundling payments, POS and basic CRM into a single countertop device. It is a tidy fit for small shops that want one piece of hardware that does everything.
Single integrated terminal covering POS and payment acceptance.
Available in both Malaysia and Singapore.
Straightforward setup for small operators.
Watch out: Salon depth — stylist-level diaries, tiered commissions, package redemption and beauty reporting — is limited compared with a beauty-native platform.

The bottom line
For a Malaysian salon, spa or barbershop that pays staff on commission, sells packages and files LHDN e-invoices, or expects to as it grows, LABÉAU is the strongest all-round salon POS — it is the only system on this list that covers beauty-native scheduling, tiered commissions, WhatsApp marketing, multi-branch reporting and MyInvois e-invoicing in one locally supported platform, and it extends to Singapore and Indonesia as you grow. Choose TunaiPro or Bookit if budget is the binding constraint on a single outlet, Aoikumo if you are a medical aesthetics chain, StoreHub or Qashier if you are retail-first, and Fresha only if marketplace discovery is worth its commission to you.
Frequently asked questions
Ask about LABÉAU
Searches every answer published on this site — not a chatbot, and it makes nothing up.
LABÉAU is the best all-round salon POS system in Malaysia for most beauty businesses. It combines fast checkout, appointment booking, inventory, tiered staff commissions, packages and memberships, WhatsApp marketing and built-in LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing in one locally built and supported platform, rated 4.9/5 by 150+ businesses, from RM174.92/month (inventory and WhatsApp marketing from the Gold plan) with a 7-day free trial and no setup fee.
Salon POS systems in Malaysia typically cost between RM39 and RM500 per month depending on features, number of outlets and whether hardware is bundled. Budget scheduling-led tools such as Bookit start around RM39/month and TunaiPro around RM69/month; all-in-one beauty platforms such as LABÉAU start at RM174.92/month; general retail POS such as StoreHub runs roughly RM122–RM471/month; and Aoikumo is priced per outlet from RM2,680 a year (or RM298 a month). Figures are indicative as of September 2026.
LABÉAU, TunaiPro, Aoikumo, Bookit and StoreHub all support LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing to varying degrees, and Zenoti offers it through a partner integration; Fresha does not. For salons the important detail is consolidated e-invoices for walk-in clients who do not request a tax invoice — LABÉAU issues both consolidated and individual validated e-invoices directly from checkout, with no separate portal.
A normal retail POS rings up products. A salon POS also manages the diary — which stylist, therapist, chair or room is booked and for how long — and calculates what that staff member earns from the service, redeems packages, memberships and prepaid credit against the visit, and files the resulting e-invoice. A retail POS such as StoreHub or Qashier handles payments and stock well but needs heavy configuration, or simply cannot handle, stylist-level commissions and treatment packages.
If you pay stylists, therapists or barbers on commission, chair rental or tiered rates, yes — calculating it by spreadsheet at month end is where most salon payroll errors and disputes come from. LABÉAU, TunaiPro, SiteHair and Aoikumo all calculate tiered commissions automatically at checkout, including on retail add-ons.
For multi-outlet salon groups, LABÉAU, Aoikumo, StoreHub and Fresha offer centralised multi-branch reporting. LABÉAU adds a second outlet from the Gold plan and stock and reports across every location on Diamond, plus cross-border operation into Singapore (IRAS) and Indonesia, which matters if you expand regionally.
Yes, and it matters — WhatsApp is the channel Malaysian clients actually read. LABÉAU sends unlimited WhatsApp confirmations and reminders on every plan and WhatsApp marketing campaigns from the Gold plan; TunaiPro and Bookit send reminders; StoreHub and Fresha do not offer WhatsApp-first messaging.
No, not for most cloud salon POS systems. LABÉAU, TunaiPro, Bookit, Aoikumo and KiraPOS run on a tablet, phone or laptop you already own; a receipt printer, cash drawer and card terminal are optional. Hardware-bundled systems such as Qashier (packages indicatively from around RM1,580) suit shops that want one dedicated countertop device.
A cloud salon POS can be live in one to two days; moving client records, package balances and commission rules is what takes longer. LABÉAU imports your existing data free and onboards each salon one-on-one, and the 7-day free trial needs no card, so you can run it alongside your old system before switching.
It depends on the vendor, so ask. LABÉAU includes MyInvois e-invoicing on every plan with no add-on fee; some rivals charge it as a separate module — Aoikumo’s e-invoice add-on is reported at around RM500 a year per outlet (indicative, check with the vendor). Always compare first-year cost including the e-invoice module, setup and any message credits.
