The best hairdresser and massage in Tallinn 2026
Hairdressing and massage in Tallinn 2026: prices, districts, specialisation. How to choose a stylist and massage therapist by experience, portfolio and reviews.
Hairdressing and massage are two of the most searched-for beauty services in Tallinn, yet fewer directory overviews are devoted to them than to beauty clinics. In this guide we bring together what to expect, how to choose and which areas are the most popular.
Hairdressers in Tallinn — how to choose
As of April 2026 there are over 400 hair salons operating in Tallinn (business-register data). Quality varies sharply. The criteria for the best choice:
- Specialisation. The best hairdresser isn't a "jack of all trades" — rather a colour expert, a cutting expert or a men's hairdresser.
- An Instagram portfolio. 100+ photos, a consistent style, before-and-after.
- Reviews. Google + Facebook, at least 30 reviews with an average of 4,5+.
- Price vs experience. A beginner hairdresser 20–30 €, an experienced one 35–60 €, a "name" stylist 70–150 €.
Hairdressers by area
- Kesklinn: trendy salons, colour experts, cuts 45–120 €.
- Rotermann and Vanalinn: luxury boutiques, 60–180 €.
- Lasnamäe, Mustamäe, Õismäe: a wide choice at mid-range prices, 20–40 €.
- Kadriorg: quiet, homely salons, 30–55 €.
Hair colouring in Tallinn
- Single-tone: 60–110 €.
- Base colour + root touch-up: 50–90 €.
- Balayage / ombre: 120–240 €.
- Going blonde (bleaching): 140–300 €.
- Correction (fixing a botched colour): 80–200 €.
Tip: balayage lasts 3–6 months without a touch-up, whereas classic colouring needs a refresh every 4–6 weeks. Over the long run balayage is often cheaper.
