Hair salons in Estonia

7 chains in total, sorted by number of locations.

All chains

A hair salon chain is a network of hairdressing salons operating under the same brand: at least two locations, one shared price list, one booking system and stylists trained to the same standard. What separates a chain from a standalone salon is that a familiar cut or color can be booked under the same name in another town too, without having to explain your hair history from scratch. The ilusalong24.ee directory currently lists seven hair-focused chains with 41 salons across seven towns in total: Salon+, Truman Barbershop, Juuksurexpress, Stels 88 Barbershop, MAKE YOUR ID, Lumberjack Barbershop and Gentleman Club Barbershop.

Estonia's hair salon chains — the best-known names

The two largest chains are equal in the number of salons but geographically quite different. Salon+ runs 11 salons in five towns — Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, Rakvere and Jõhvi — and stands out for its award-winning S+ Haircare product line and its Megix10 fast-coloring system; for men, the chain runs separate Pardur barbering salons. Truman Barbershop also runs 11 salons, but all in one town: it is a men-only barbershop that keeps barbershop tradition and client privacy at its core.

Juuksurexpress covers Tallinn and Maardu with seven salons and works on a walk-in basis: prices are fixed and no appointment is needed. Stels 88 Barbershop runs five barbershops in Tallinn and Viimsi, mostly inside shopping centres, and also cuts children's hair. MAKE YOUR ID splits its three salons between Tallinn and Viimsi; the chain runs its own hairdressing school that trains fast, precise cutting and coloring techniques.

Two smaller chains run two salons each in Tallinn. Lumberjack Barbershop is an authentic-atmosphere men's club where regular barber service goes hand in hand with beard-shaving craft. Gentleman Club Barbershop keeps the same clubby feel, uses Italian and Spanish products, and offers customers free parking. Having two locations gives a choice here too: if the stylist at one house is booked, you can try the other salon.

How to choose a hair salon chain

Start with location. Outside Harju County, Salon+ is the only hair chain in the directory — in Tartu, Pärnu, Rakvere and Jõhvi. The remaining six operate in Tallinn and its immediate surroundings: Juuksurexpress has a salon in Maardu, and Stels 88 and MAKE YOUR ID both have one in Viimsi. A chain's advantage shows up exactly when you move between towns or relocate — the same brand means the same service standard and the same price list, so you do not need to find a new stylist from scratch. If you always stay in the same neighbourhood, a large chain gives no inherent advantage on its own, and the specific salon's stylist is what decides.

Second, look at who the chain serves. Four of the seven — Truman Barbershop, Stels 88 Barbershop, Lumberjack Barbershop and Gentleman Club Barbershop — are men's hair and barber chains where the core service is cutting and beard shaping. Salon+ and MAKE YOUR ID serve both women and men and also do coloring and hair care. Juuksurexpress is a narrower express service: a cut and a blow-dry without lengthy preparation.

Third, price level. Juuksurexpress is the only chain in the directory's most affordable price tier (€); the remaining six sit in the mid tier (€€). A chain's advantage here is price clarity: the price list mostly applies the same way at every salon, so booking in another town you already know what to expect. At standalone salons, the price of the same cut can vary noticeably even between neighbouring districts.

Frequently asked questions
