Beauty salons in Tartumaa bring together 26 approved salons, the vast majority of which operate in the heart of Tartu and its neighbouring municipalities. Tartumaa is Estonia's second-most important beauty sector — as a university city, Tartu brings together young professionals building their careers and older, experienced specialists, many of whom have completed international training. Tartu salons cover the full spectrum, from hairdressing and facials to manicures, brow design, eyelash extensions and cosmetology. Price levels are lower than in Tallinn, yet the service quality is among Estonia's finest. Aesthetic medicine procedures (botox, dermal fillers, aesthetic medicine) can be found in the /kliinikud category.
Tartumaa's beauty industry today
Tartumaa's beauty sector has gained a special character through the city of Tartu — the university environment brings in younger clients whose preferences lean towards modern services: BB glow, Korean-style facials, hybrid lashes and chemical peels. At the same time, long-established hair salons in Tartumaa serve clients across generations, preserving the standard of classic craftsmanship.
Tartumaa's beauty salons are concentrated in the centre of Tartu — here you will find both boutique salons around Raekoja plats and larger beauty centres in the city districts. Competition is intense, but not as fierce as in Tallinn, which means specialists have more time for each client and quality is mostly consistent.
The most popular beauty services in Tartumaa
In Tartumaa salons the most sought-after services are hairdressing (17 salons), facials (16) and manicures (13). Closely following are hair removal and brow design (both in 13 salons), eyelash extensions (12), and pedicures and chemical peels. Makeup and standalone cosmetology are, as expected, strongly represented in Tartu — the university city's graduation, wedding and concert seasons keep demand steady.
A distinctive feature of Tartumaa salons is often combined packages: ahead of the graduation season several salons offer discounted "hairdresser + makeup + manicure" packages. Services requiring a medical operating licence (botox, dermal fillers, fractional laser) are gathered in the /kliinikud category.
Towns and settlements of Tartumaa
The city of Tartu itself is the clear hub with 26 salons and covers practically all of Tartumaa's beauty industry — the county's remaining small towns and municipal centres generally direct their clients to the city's services. This makes Tartu a convenient destination for residents of Põlvamaa, Valgamaa and Jõgevamaa too, who travel to Tartu for longer treatment sessions and the choice of specialists.
The choice for residents of nearby areas expands even further when you consider that some Tallinn-based chains have branches in Tartu. When looking for a specific specialist, it is also worth checking Tallinn beauty salons — many Tartumaa clients travel to the capital for a one-off specialist treatment, especially when seeking a particular internationally certified professional.
How to choose a beauty salon in Tartumaa?
Among Tartu's salons, Google reviews are often more detailed than elsewhere — clients comment on specific specialists and services. Read at least ten recent reviews and check whether the praise points to one particular hairdresser or beautician. Check the portfolio on Instagram; this matters especially for eyelash extensions, brow design and makeup, where the style can be judged visually.
The price list should be publicly available. Hygiene standards (sterilised tools, single-use materials, a clean workspace) are the minimum. For procedures requiring a medical licence, always check the Health Board's operating licence — those services are gathered on the /kliinikud page.
