What affects the price
- The technician’s experience. A beginner (less than 2 years) usually charges 20–30% less than an experienced technician (5+ years). The result can be just as good, but the more experienced one has speed and consistency.
- The gel polish brand. OPI, CND Shellac and Gelish last the longest, but cost the salon 3× more than cheap brands. A quality brand = longer wear (3 weeks vs 1.5 weeks).
- Location. City-centre salons are 20–35% more expensive than those in Lasnamäe or Mustamäe. In smaller towns prices are 15–25% lower.
- Design. A single-colour gel polish = the base price. Ombre, french, glitter or hand-painted art adds 5–20 € to the price.
Gel polish — what to choose
In Estonia gel polish comes at three main levels:
- Budget brands (Semilac, Victoria Vynn): 10–15 € on the salon price. Wear time 1.5–2.5 weeks.
- Mid-range (Kodi, Indigo): the standard, used by 80% of salons. Wear time 2–3 weeks.
- Premium (OPI GelColor, CND Shellac, Gelish): +10–20 € on the price. Wear time 3–4 weeks plus nail-strengthening ingredients.
Types of pedicure — what to choose
- Classic pedicure: foot and nail care, cuticle work, buffing. 45–60 minutes.
- Spa pedicure: + an exfoliating mask, a moisturising wrap and a massage. 75–90 minutes. Ideal for the winter months.
- Medical pedicure: calluses, ingrown nails, thickened nail problems. Requires a specially trained medical pedicurist.
How to save
- Season pass: a monthly package (2 manicures + 1 pedicure) can be 20% cheaper than individual visits.
- Junior technician pricing. Check the salon’s website for a “junior technician” or “trainee” category — 25–35% cheaper for the same result.
- First-time client discount. Most salons give 15–25% off the first visit.
- Midweek. Monday to Wednesday is 10–15% cheaper than Friday or Saturday.
What to avoid
- A classic manicure under 20 € often signals poor hygiene.
- Salons where tools are not visibly disinfected in front of you.
- Gel polish removed with a file — this damages the nail; acetone should be used.
- Wearing gel polish for too long (6+ weeks) damages the nail.

How much does a manicure cost in Estonia in 2026?▼
A classic manicure is 25–40 € in Tallinn and 20–35 € in Tartu. With gel polish it is 35–55 €. A pedicure costs 5–15 € more than a manicure at the same level.
How long does gel polish last?▼
Well-applied gel polish lasts 2–4 weeks without chipping or lifting. A shorter wear time points to poor technique or a cheap product.
Is a spa pedicure significantly better?▼
Yes, if you struggle with dry feet, calluses or thickened toenails. A regular pedicure focuses on aesthetics, while a spa pedicure adds a moisturising, softening and massage element (+15–30 € on the price).

If you have dry cuticles, weak nails, or you simply want a longer, more relaxing experience (60 vs 45 minutes). A spa manicure usually includes an exfoliation, a mask and a massage.
