Beauty salons in Tallinn

Beauty services in Tallinn — what is available

The most popular services in Tallinn salons are facials, brow shaping, manicures, hair removal and hairdressing — almost every second salon in the catalogue offers facials and nail care. Demand is also high for lash extensions and pedicures, which can be booked at both large chain salons and smaller independent studios across the city.

Tallinn's hairdressers cover the full spectrum from classic styling to chemical colouring, and the network of men's barbershops has grown strongly in recent years. Massage is equally well represented — more than 20 salons in the catalogue offer classic, sports or lymphatic massage.

Aesthetic medicine services — botox, fillers, mesotherapy and medical laser treatments — require a Health Board licence and are provided by a separate sector. These are collected on the /kliinikud page, where you can see all licensed beauty clinics in Tallinn.

How to choose a beauty salon in Tallinn

The choice in Tallinn is so large that it is worth checking Google reviews (ideally 4.5+ stars and at least 30 ratings), portfolio images on Instagram, and how openly prices are published. Most serious salons publish prices on their website or in the Booksy or Fresha booking system — if you cannot find a price anywhere, treat that as a warning sign.

Hygiene is critical, particularly for nail care and lash extensions: check that instruments are sterilised in an autoclave and that single-use materials really are single-use. An experienced technician will be happy to show you.

If a service requires medical supervision (botox, fillers, laser for melasma, thread veins), booking should go through clinics registered with the Health Board, collected on the /kliinikud page. Ordinary salons cannot legally offer these treatments.

Tallinn's beauty industry — what makes the capital different

Tallinn is the centre of Estonia's beauty industry in both supply and demand. Kesklinn and the Rotermann quarter concentrate premium salons and boutique services, Mustamäe and Lasnamäe dominate on density and competitive pricing, and Pirita and Kalamaja are growing niches for smaller independent studios.

Russian-language service is the norm in Tallinn, especially in Lasnamäe and Põhja-Tallinn. The city is also popular with visitors from Finland who travel for beauty services, since prices are typically well below Finnish levels and the ferry or flight connection is short. Tallinn is the only city in Estonia where you can book rarer treatments on the same day — micropigmentation, Brazilian keratin, lash lifts or Japanese manicures.
