Hair salon software built for Singapore

At a glance

Online bookings, appointment management, client records, and staff scheduling, built for hair salons that want to spend more time styling and less time managing. Built around how salon actually run, Idle connects a branded 24/7 online booking link with deposits, a calendar with smart staff and resource allocation, a full POS with card, PayNow and PayLah via Stripe, client records with visit history and an AI health score, packages, inventory, staff scheduling, a 24/7 WhatsApp AI receptionist, and real-time analytics, in one system instead of a stack of disconnected tools.

Sound like your salon?

Paper diary chaos

Your appointment book is a paper diary and your receptionist is also your shampoo assistant.

Missed calls = missed bookings

Clients call during a cut and you can't pick up, they book somewhere else.

No revenue visibility

You have no idea which stylist is bringing in the most revenue this month.

Uneven schedule

Saturday's fully booked but Tuesday is empty, every single week.

Built around how salons actually run

From walk-ins to regulars, from a solo stylist to a full team, Idle fits your workflow.

Color formulas saved per client

Never mix the wrong shade again. Every client's formula is stored and recalled for their next visit.

Multi-stylist scheduling

Each stylist has their own calendar. Clients book the person they want, not just 'the salon'.

Everything salon needs

One platform for bookings, clients, staff, and growth, with deeper customisation whenever you want it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best hair salon software in Singapore?

Idle is built for Singapore hair salons of every size, from solo stylists to multi-chair studios. It includes online booking, multi-stylist scheduling, client records with colour formula history, card, Link, PayNow, PayLah, and GrabPay checkout via Stripe, and one-tap WhatsApp reach from each client profile. Most salons are live in about 1 hr after a demo call.

Can clients book my hair salon online with Idle?

Yes. You share your Idle booking link on Instagram, WhatsApp, or your website, and clients pick their stylist, service, and time 24/7. The booking lands directly in your calendar and the client gets an automatic confirmation.

Does Idle save client colour formulas?

Yes. Idle stores colour formulas, processing times, and styling notes per client. Your stylist sees the last formula the moment the client is checked in, even if a different team member did the previous visit.

How does Idle reduce no-shows for hair salons?

Idle lets you collect deposits for long colour appointments, lets clients self-reschedule via their booking link, and lets you reach any client on WhatsApp in one tap from their profile.

Can I track stylist commissions in Idle?

Today, every appointment and checkout is tagged to the stylist who performed the service, so the analytics dashboard shows revenue per stylist, tip totals, and service breakdowns that you apply your commission rates to. Idle's AI HR Manager handles automated commission calculation.

Does Idle work for a single-chair salon in Singapore?

Yes. Idle is designed for solo stylists and small salons as well as multi-stylist teams. You only enable the modules you use, and a single-stylist setup runs end to end on Idle just like a 10-chair shop.
