Where to book beauty in Mallorca, neighbourhood by neighbourhood

Twenty-two salons across Palma and the island, all with verified reviews, prices you can see before you book, and a slot you can reserve from your sun lounger. This is the beauty guide for Mallorca that actually lets you book, and not just dream about it.

Why this guide exists

Here’s a situation you might recognise. You’ve landed in Mallorca. You’ve got dinner in Santa Catalina booked for Friday, and somewhere between the airport and the apartment you’ve remembered three things: your roots need doing, your nails are chipped, and you could really use a proper blow-dry before anyone photographs you. So you do what everyone does. You type “hair salon Palma” into your phone. What comes back is a wall of expat Facebook groups, a Swedish salon that may or may not have space, and a listings site that hasn’t been updated since the last time it rained on the island.

Mallorca has a genuinely good beauty scene. The problem has never been quality. It’s that finding the right place, seeing what it costs, and actually securing the appointment usually takes three apps, a phone call in a language you half-speak, and a leap of faith. This guide fixes that. We’ve picked 22 salons across Palma’s neighbourhoods and four towns beyond the capital, every one of them with a public Treatwell profile, real reviews from real customers, and online booking that takes about thirty seconds – about the length of time it takes to order another sangria.

You’ll find the island’s most-reviewed salon, with nearly a thousand verified reviews. There’s a barber who’ll sort you out for €11, an eco hair salon in Manacor that people drive across the island for, and a nail bar in a beach town with a perfect five-star record. All bookable before you’ve even unpacked. Because you have your priorities straight.

A note on what you’ll find here (and what you won’t)

If you’ve already done the search, you’ll know the Mallorca beauty internet leans heavily on one type of place: the international expat salon, usually Swedish or British-run, usually in Santa Catalina, usually excellent and usually booked solid. Those salons are great. They’re also not the whole island, and a forum thread recommending one from 2019 isn’t very reliable.

What we’ve done instead is comb through the salons that are live and bookable right now, and pick the ones with the reviews and the range to back them up. Three things make this different from the usual listicle. Every salon here has verified reviews, written by people who actually paid and turned up, not anonymous star ratings. Every salon shows its prices on its profile before you commit, so a manicure is a manicure and not a surprise. And every salon takes instant online bookings, so you’re not playing phone tag from a beach bar.

What to book, and what it costs

A quick map of the treatments worth booking in Mallorca and what you’ll roughly pay. Prices start low here compared with most of Europe, which is one of the more underrated perks of getting your beauty done on the island.

• Gel or semi-permanent manicure (from around €18): the undisputed holiday workhorse. Outlasts a week of sea, sand and sun cream. Nail bars across Palma do them from the high teens.
• Wash, cut and blow-dry (from around €20): a proper restyle or just a freshen-up before a night out. Plenty of English and German-speaking stylists too, in case your Spanish mostly consists of ordering tapas and asking for the bill.
• Brow shaping, threading or lamination (from around €10): Mallorca is unusually strong on brows. Threading and henna brows are everywhere and affordable.
• Relaxing or deep-tissue massage (from around €26): after a day hiking the Tramuntana or chasing kids round a water park, you’re very welcome.
• Waxing (from around €4 a strip): seriously inexpensive here. A full set of bits and pieces costs less than a round of cocktails (well, depending on what the cocktails are).
• Barbershop cut (from around €11): classic cut, fade, or a beard tidy. Some of the best value on this entire list.

Exact prices are always visible on each salon profile before you book, so there’s never a number you didn’t agree to. No surprises and no mentally converting euros while someone awkwardly waits at the till.

Palma Old Town, Born and the Cathedral

What you’re doing here: wandering the honey-coloured streets below La Seu cathedral, getting pleasantly lost in the Born’s boutiques, stopping for a vermouth somewhere with a marble counter. This is the Palma of postcards, and the most likely place you’re staying.

The Old Town is where most visitors base themselves, and happily it’s dense with good salons tucked into its narrow streets and along the smart Avinguda Jaume III. You can get almost anything done here within a ten-minute walk of the Cathedral, often in a salon where someone speaks your language. The standard is high and the settings are lovely, all exposed stone and tall shuttered windows. Not a bad backdrop for a holiday glow-up.

The waxing institution: Eternal Beauty

Carrer de la Missió, 33, 07003 Palma

The most-reviewed beauty salon in the Old Town, and a local fixture in the historic La Missió quarter. Eternal Beauty has built its reputation on fast, painless, properly cheap waxing, with a menu that runs from a €4 lip strip upwards, though the team handles the full beauty repertoire too. It’s the kind of place you book on a whim and end up rebooking every time you come back to the island. Book: a quick brow and lip wax the morning of a dinner out, when you want to look pulled together with zero fuss and minimal effort.

The five-star all-rounder: Sunflowers

C. del Conquistador, 8, 07001 Palma

A perfect five-star rating across hundreds of reviews is rare, and Sunflowers has it. Run by Hansell and Arlet, it’s a warm little spot a stone’s throw from the Cathedral that does manicures, pedicures, waxing and, unusually for the area, properly good massage. Reviewers single out Arlet’s nail work and Hansell’s massages with the kind of devotion that can’t be manufactured. Book: a relaxing 30-minute massage and a semi-permanent manicure as a two-in-one reset after a long travel day.

The threading specialist: PauBeauty

Carrer de Tous i Maroto, 5B, Entresuelo – Local 7, 07001 Palma

Paula runs this bright, original little studio just behind the royal palace, and the speciality is precision: threading, brows, and personalised facial treatments built around a proper skin diagnosis rather than a one-size menu. Another perfect-rated salon, and a favourite for anyone who likes their brows on the architectural side. Book: brow threading and a tailored facial the day before a wedding or a big night, so your skin has a moment to settle and your brows can quietly do the heavy lifting.

The Born hair chair: Boudoir

Carrer de la Protectora, 6, 07006 Palma

Boudoir sits in the smartest pocket of the Old Town, the Lotja-Born, and it looks the part: elegant, intimate, and just the right amount of glamorous. Dominique and the team do cuts, colour, and styling with OWay’s botanical products, and the reviews come in three languages, which tells you exactly the sort of international crowd filling up the chairs. Book: a wash, gloss and blow-dry before dinner somewhere with a dress code, then walk straight out into the Born.

The facialist on Jaume III: Estetics

Av. de Jaume III, 27, 07012 Palma

On Palma’s most elegant avenue, Estetics is the place for skin. The setting is all neutral tones and quiet professionalism, and the menu runs deep into facials and aesthetics, from a deep-cleansing facial around €35 to dermapen and laser work. If your holiday plan involves looking after your skin rather than just your nails, this is where to put your face in expert hands. Book: a deep-cleansing facial mid-trip, when the sun and salt have had a few days to do their worst, and your SPF needs some backup.

What to expect in this part of town

The Old Town is your easy option: high standards, lovely rooms, and a salon for almost every treatment within walking distance of wherever you’re sleeping. It leans beauty, brows and facials rather than serious hair colour, so if you’re after a full restyle, point yourself west to Santa Catalina. For everything else, you can sort it without ever leaving the postcode or interrupting your very busy schedule of beach clubs and tapas.

Santa Catalina, El Fortí and the west

What you’re doing here: browsing the Mercat de Santa Catalina, lingering over brunch, drifting between the small galleries and concept shops. This is Palma’s most-loved neighbourhood, the one every guide tells you to “live like a local” in, and it’s earned the reputation.

If the Old Town is where you stay, Santa Catalina and the streets west of it are where you spend your days off. It’s also where Palma’s international salon scene concentrates, with the Swedish colourists and the eco hairdressers and the specialist nail artists all sharing the same postcode. The vibe is relaxed, design-conscious and a little bit cool, and the salons match that energy perfectly.

The hair colourist’s hair colourist: Chic Design Estilistas

Carrer de Miquel Capllonch, 21, 07010 Palma

The strongest hair salon on the west side, with a bright, airy room and a long list of happy reviewers. Chic Design handles the full colour and care spectrum, from masks and treatments to full restyles, and the space itself, all glass and glossy floors, feels more boutique than neighbourhood salon. It’s the sort of place that makes you briefly consider becoming the kind of person who gets their hair glossed every month. Book: a colour refresh and treatment early in your trip, so your hair looks its best in every photo that follows.

The five-star nail bar: La Lacquerie Nails and Beauty

Carrer del Llac de Constança, 1, Ponent, 07013 Sa Vileta-Son Rapinya

Erika runs this small, jovial, fresh-feeling nail studio to a perfect five-star standard, working with Orly, Gelish and the rest. The signature is a luxurious mani-and-pedi combo (around €75 for the full relaxing pair), but a dry semi-permanent manicure starts at €35. Worth the short hop out from the centre if cute holiday nails are a non-negotiable for you. Book: the full manicure-and-pedicure combination at the start of a beach holiday, so your hands and feet outlast the trip.

The international hair stylist: I D’Amato Italian Hair Style

Plaça de Barcelona 1, Palma, 07011

Mallorca’s salon scene is gloriously international, and I D’Amato is a slice of Italy in El Fortí: an Italian-run salon doing cuts, colour and that particular Mediterranean approach to a blow-dry. A good pick if you like a stylist with a bit of theatrical flourish and an eye for shape. Think less “trim”, more main character energy. Book: a wash and a “torchon” style for a special evening, and let them have some fun with it because playing it safe is overrated on holiday.

The laser and tattoo-removal specialist: Nature Hair & Tattoo Removal

Carrer Voranova, 10, 07181 Palmanova

A genuine one-off on this list: a perfect-rated studio specialising in laser hair removal (from around €5) and, more unusually, tattoo and microblading removal. Niche, professional, and exactly the place you want if you’ve got a holiday-romance tattoo you’ve reconsidered, or an inebriated decision you’d rather quietly leave in the past. Book: a laser hair-removal session early in a longer stay, since the results build over time.

What to expect in this part of town

Santa Catalina and its neighbours are where to come for hair, colour and the more specialist end of the menu. The salons here are design-led and internationally minded, and many of the teams switch into English without blinking. It’s the part of Palma where booking ahead matters most, because the good places often fill up with regulars.

Pere Garau, El Molinar and east Palma

What you’re doing here: shopping the wonderful Pere Garau market for olives and tomatoes, then heading down to El Molinar’s seafront for a long lunch with your feet almost in the water. This is the Palma locals keep slightly to themselves, and for good reason.

East Palma doesn’t make the front of the guidebooks, which is exactly why it’s worth your time. Pere Garau is the city’s most characterful market neighbourhood, El Molinar is its understated seafront, and between them sit some of the highest-reviewed salons on the entire island. If you’re happy to take a short bus ride or a cheap taxi from the centre, this is where the numbers get truly impressive and the tourist crowds thin out.

The most-reviewed salon on the island: Dermibella

Travessia Jesús, 1, 07010 Palma

Close to a thousand verified reviews, and a team that speaks English and German: Dermibella is the salon Mallorca clearly trusts. The focus is facial and body treatments, with a real specialism in brows, henna colour, lamination, lash lifts and threading. If you want the safest possible pair of hands for your face, the volume of happy reviewers have already done most of the convincing for you. Book: a brow lamination and lash lift together, for a wide-awake look that needs zero effort for the rest of the trip and even the earliest airport transfers.

The hair destination: Vich Estilistas

Carrer Joan Bauzà, 60, Llevant, 07007 Palma

With reviews well into the hundreds, Alberto’s salon is one of the most booked hairdressers on the island, and it’s right by Pere Garau market. Expect proper hair care, Plex treatments, colour and cuts, in a room that mixes vintage barber chairs with a modern finish. The kind of place that turns first-time holiday clients into people who are already checking availability from the airport lounge on the way home. Book: a Plex treatment and blow-dry mid-trip, to undo whatever the sea and sun have been doing to your hair (and they’ve definitely been doing something).

The five-star waxing pick: Posa’t wap@

Carrer Jacint Verdaguer, 100, 07005 Palma

Malén has built Posa’t wap@ into a perfect-rated favourite with hundreds of reviews, which is no small thing for a busy waxing and beauty studio. Brows from €10, and a full waxing menu at prices that’ll make visitors from northern Europe do a double take. Book: a quick brow tidy and a leg wax before the beach days begin, and your swimsuit becomes your outfit for the rest of the trip.

The barber worth the bus ride: Encinas Rivera Barbería y Estética

Pere Garau

The pick of the island’s barbers, and a perfect five-star one at that. A classic cut is €11, a modern fade €13, and the room has that proper old-school barbershop atmosphere, dark walls, leather chairs, no unnecessary nonsense. Bring the kids too; they do children’s cuts. Book: a classic cut and beard tidy the morning of a smart dinner, and pocket the change.

The seafront massage: Angelis

Carrer de Joan Nicolau i Barceló, 4, 07006 Palma

Down in laid-back El Molinar, Angelis is an elegant, minimalist salon doing manicures, facials and, the reason to come, massage from around €26. After a day on your feet exploring, a back massage a minute from the sea is a very easy yes. Frankly, we’d struggle to think of a better use of an hour. Book: a relaxing back massage in the late afternoon, then walk down to the water for sunset.

The extra hair option: Stilemania

Carrer de Santa Ponça, 17, Local 5, 07183 Rotes Velles

A perfect-rated hair salon over in Foners, handy if Vich is booked out or you’re staying on the east side. Diagnosis, cut, styling, the full hair offer, with a string of glowing reviews to back it. Proof that having a Plan B doesn’t have to feel like settling. Book: a cut and style when you want a fresh look without trekking back into the centre or sacrificing the better half of your day in a taxi.

What to expect in this part of town

East Palma is the value play, and the quality play, in one. The salons here carry the biggest review counts on the island, the prices are local rather than touristy, and a short ride out of the centre buys you appointments that are harder to get in Santa Catalina. This is where to book if you care more about the work than the postcode and would rather spend your money on seafood than inflated salon prices.

Beyond Palma: Manacor, the interior and the south coast

What you’re doing here: driving out to the Coves del Drac, hitting the Thursday market in Inca, finding a quiet cove near Colònia de Sant Jordi, or simply basing yourself in a villa away from the city. Mallorca is bigger than its capital, and so is its beauty scene.

If you’re not staying in Palma, or you’re touring the island, you’re not out of options, far from it actually. Manacor in particular has quietly become a beauty hub, with several of the island’s best-reviewed salons clustered in one workaday town near the east-coast beaches. The towns are a short drive apart, so think of this as a map rather than a walk and don’t be afraid to slot an appointment into your road trip plans.

The holistic heavyweight: Espai Holístic M.Bel Pont

Via Portugal, 33, 07500 Manacor

With well over five hundred reviews, this is the most-booked salon outside Palma, and proof that you don’t need to be in the capital to find exceptional beauty. A holistic beauty and wellbeing centre on Manacor’s Via Portugal that offers waxing, treatments, and a calm, considered approach that reviewers clearly adore. It’s the anchor of Manacor’s surprisingly deep beauty scene and the kind of place regulars quietly recommend to each other. Book: a treatment-and-waxing session on a day you’re exploring the east coast, with the caves and Porto Cristo nearby. Beauty appointment, sightseeing, lunch by the sea. A very respectable itinerary.

The nail artist of the east: Arte En Tus Uñas Monica Nails

Avinguda d’es Torrent, 8, 07500 Manacor

Mónica’s nail studio pulls in hundreds of reviews and sits a short walk from Manacor’s train station, which makes it easy even without a car (the Palma-Manacor line runs right across the island). Acrylics, gel, semi-permanent, the lot. Book: a fresh set of semi-permanent nails that’ll see you through a week of beaches and boat trips. Minimal maintenance, maximum holiday photos.

The eco hair salon people drive for: Eco & Slowhair salon by Jaume Barceló

Carrer d’En Bosch, 3, 07500 Manacor

A perfect-rated eco hair salon with close to four hundred reviews, and a genuine destination: Jaume Barceló’s “slow hair” philosophy is about gentle, considered, low-impact hairdressing, and people travel for it. Not just from around Manacor, either. This is the kind of place people happily build a day around. If your beauty choices come with a conscience, this is your salon on the island. Book: a natural-dry cut and treatment, and settle in for the unhurried approach that gives the place its name. Mallorca moves slowly for a reason. Your hair appointment can too.

The interior nail studio: Monmajher Studio

Calle La Rambla, 44, Local 8, Campos

A well-reviewed nail and beauty studio in Campos, in the agricultural heart of the south, handy if you’re villa-based in the area or heading to the southern beaches. Threading, nail reconstruction, acrylics and more. Book: a full set of acrylics ahead of a special occasion, while you’re away from the coastal crowds. One less thing to think about when the chaos of holiday outfit planning kicks in.

The wine-country hair salon: Vanessa Aranda

Carrer de Llorenç Villalonga, 30, 07350 Binissalem

Out in Binissalem, Mallorca’s wine town and a stop on the Palma-Inca train line, Vanessa Aranda is a warmly reviewed hair and beauty salon doing cuts, washes, kids’ cuts and brows. A civilised stop if you’re touring the interior bodegas. Book: a wash and blow-dry between vineyard visits, because tasting Mallorcan wine deserves good hair. Photos from the winery are forever.

The wellbeing find: Caléndula

Plaça Hostals, 13, 07320 Santa Maria del Camí

A perfect-rated wellbeing and beauty centre in pretty Santa Maria del Camí, between Palma and Inca, with a particular strength in laser treatments. The atmosphere here leans more calm retreat than beauty conveyor belt. A lovely town to combine with its famous Sunday market. Book: a laser session paired with a morning at the Santa Maria market, one of the island’s best. Fresh flowers, local cheese, smooth skin. Mallorca multitasking at its finest.

The beach-town gem: Salón de Belleza Fina

Carrer Major, 51, 07638 Colònia de Sant Jordi

A perfect five-star record with hundreds of reviews, in a small south-coast town near Es Trenc’s famous white sand: Fina and Marta have built something special. Manicures, pedicures, waxing and facials with OPI and Germaine de Capuccini, all delivered with the sort of attention that makes small-town salons so hard to beat. The kind of polished little salon you don’t expect to find by the beach. And then wonder why every beach town doesn’t have one like this. Book: a pedicure and a quick wax before a day on Es Trenc, the prettiest sand on the island.

What to expect beyond the capital

The rest of Mallorca rewards anyone willing to drive a little. Manacor alone offers hair, nails and holistic beauty to a standard that rivals the capital, and the south-coast and interior towns let you fit a treatment around a beach day or a market morning. Think of these as the salons that prove the island’s beauty scene doesn’t stop at Palma’s ring road – it just gets a little more sun-kissed and a lot more “hidden gem” coded.

For expats, remote workers and digital nomads in Mallorca

Plenty of people reading this don’t fly home on Sunday. Mallorca has a big resident community: long-time expats, season workers, and the remote crowd who came for a fortnight and quietly never left. They have the opposite problem to the tourist. Not “where do I go once?” but “where do I go every six weeks for the next five years?” The answer is to find your regulars and lock them in – the kind of salons that start remembering your coffee order before your appointment even begins.

A few that work beautifully for residents: Vich Estilistas in Pere Garau for hair you’ll trust on repeat, with the review history to prove consistency. Dermibella in Bons Aires for brows, lashes and facials, where the team’s English and German make the regular relationship easy. And Eco & Slowhair in Manacor if you’re east-side or you simply want your hair done with a conscience. Book once on Treatwell, and every appointment after that takes thirty seconds.

Booking around Mallorca’s events and wedding season

Mallorca’s calendar fills up fast in summer, and the salons fill up with it. A few dates worth booking around (because everyone else has already clocked them too):

• Sant Joan and the Nit de Foc (23–24 June): Palma’s biggest summer night, with fireworks over the seafront and bonfires across the island. Book any pre-party hair or nails three to four days ahead because timing is everything here.
• The total solar eclipse (12 August 2026): a genuine once-in-a-lifetime event, with Palma in the path of totality for around a minute and a half. The island will be heaving. Book anything you need well in advance, a week or more.
• Copa del Rey sailing regatta (early August): the bay fills with yachts and the city with crews and spectators. Central Palma salons get busy; book three to four days ahead before everyone remembers that they need a yacht-proof blowout.
• Wedding season (May to September): Mallorca is one of the Mediterranean’s favourite wedding islands. If you’re a guest, book your hair and makeup at least a week ahead, more in peak July and August. Calendar chaos, but make it cute.

How to actually book on Treatwell

The whole point of this guide is that you can act on it from wherever you’re sitting. Download the Treatwell app and search by neighbourhood or by treatment, which is how you’d actually think about it: “nails near Santa Catalina”, “barber in Pere Garau”. You’ll see real options with real availability, no phone call required.

Every salon in this guide shows its verified reviews and its prices before you book, so you choose with your eyes open and pay what you expected. No “let me check and call you back”, no turning up to a closed shutter. You pick a slot, you confirm, you get on with your holiday.

Passport, tickets, Treatwell. In roughly that order.
