This guide covers six booking apps that Singapore salon owners use, what each one does well, and who each is best for. We have included pricing, PayNow support, and local fit for your small business.

Quick verdict: if you want a no-commission, PayNow-friendly booking system built for the Singapore market, LovingBooking is our top pick. But read on for the full breakdown.

1. LovingBooking — Best Overall for Singapore Salons

LovingBooking is built specifically for Singapore small businesses. It covers the full booking journey: clients pick their service, choose their stylist, select a time, and, on Pro, pay you via PayNow. Best of all, it has a free plan to help you get started.

What it does well

• PayNow QR code payments with no transaction fee charged by LovingBooking; bank terms may apply
• Multi-staff scheduling so each stylist gets their own calendar and services
• Branded booking page you can customise to match your salon
• Embeddable widget to drop booking into your own website
• Automated email reminders that reduce no-shows
• Customer profiles built automatically from each booking

Pricing

• Free: your first 200 bookings, for up to 3 people and 1 location
• Pro: US$12/month for up to 3 people, then US$12/month per extra person, logins without a calendar free, 14-day cardless trial — unlimited bookings, PayNow QR, custom branding

Best for

Hair salons, nail salons, brow and lash studios, and beauty businesses with 1–10 staff members. Especially strong for businesses that want PayNow integration and no booking commissions.

2. Fresha — Best for New Salons Wanting Marketplace Exposure

Fresha's current official pricing lists paid Independent and Team subscriptions. Marketplace fees for new clients are separate and region-sensitive, so check the terms shown for your market before comparing totals.

What it does well

• Listed on the Fresha consumer marketplace
• Clean, modern booking interface
• Good staff management and service setup
• Wide global presence

Pricing

• Independent: US$19.95/month; Team: US$14.95 per bookable team member/month on the current official page. Marketplace fees may apply to new clients under the displayed regional terms.

Best for

Brand-new salons with zero client base who want marketplace discovery to help with initial growth, and are willing to pay the marketplace fee shown for their market as a customer acquisition cost.

3. Booksy — Best for Barbershops and Unisex Salons

Booksy is popular in the barbershop and men's grooming space globally. It has a consumer app with a built-in discovery feature, similar to Fresha. It is well-known in some markets but has limited Singapore-specific optimisation.

What it does well

• Strong consumer app with discovery features
• Good for businesses where walk-in traffic matters
• Multi-service and multi-staff support

Pricing

• Paid subscription model — pricing in USD

Best for

Barbershops and unisex salons that want a consumer-facing discovery platform and do not mind USD pricing.

4. Acuity Scheduling — Best for Consultative Beauty Services

Acuity (owned by Squarespace) is a flexible scheduling tool with strong form and intake capabilities. It works well for beauty professionals who need to collect detailed client information before appointments.

What it does well

• Intake forms and pre-appointment questionnaires
• Squarespace website integration
• Flexible availability rules and buffer times

Pricing

• From USD $16/month, by calendar tier

Best for

Beauty professionals who need detailed pre-appointment intake forms, or who already have a Squarespace website.

5. Square Appointments — Best for Salons Also Using Square POS

If your salon uses Square for point-of-sale payments in-store, Square Appointments integrates seamlessly. It is part of the broader Square ecosystem.

What it does well

• Tight integration with Square POS for in-store and online payments
• Good staff and resource management
• Solid client history and rebooking features

Pricing

• Free for individuals, paid plans for teams — pricing in USD
• No PayNow support

Best for

Salons already committed to the Square payments ecosystem for in-store transactions.

6. Vagaro — Best for Larger Multi-Service Studios

Vagaro is a comprehensive salon and spa management platform. It is feature-rich with POS, inventory, payroll, and marketing tools — but that complexity comes with a steeper learning curve and higher cost.

What it does well

• Built-in marketing tools and loyalty programmes
• Good for multi-location businesses

Pricing

• From USD $30/month — higher cost, pricing in USD

Best for

Larger studios or multi-location salon businesses that need an all-in-one operations platform and have the budget and team to manage it.
