Story of Blue Lagoon Beauty

The courage to try and create something new

Blue Lagoon Beauty was born from the persistent entrepreneurship of founder Sini Virtanen. Sini quickly and successfully raised the company she founded to one of the largest beauty salons in Finland.

The dream of owning a business started in 2006 from a ten square meter beauty salon room in Meilahti, Helsinki. In order to attract customers, our founder Sini decided to set up a pop-up nail studio in the Kamppi shopping center. The intention was to keep Kamppi’s spot up for a couple of months and attract customers to the salon in Meilahti.

However, chance intervened in the game and soon Sini found herself in a new 60-square-meter space in Kampi. Kamppi’ salon made it possible for the first four contract entrepreneurs to join. This was the beginning of the Blue Lagoon success story.

Sin has always had a strong desire to work hard and the belief in success has been strong. She has been driven forward by the vision that she wants to create a comfortable workplace for beauty professionals and offer customers the best possible service when they want it.

From the beginning, we have been guided by the courage to try new things and do things without prejudice. As a result of long-term work and high-quality professionalism, the customer base has been established quickly and we have grown at great speed: today Blue Lagoon employs 150 professionals, most of whom are contract entrepreneurs. Service managers, customer service and marketing work in the administration.

In 2018, we started expanding and opened the Iso Omena and Kolmkulma locations, after which Turku, Kallio and Punavuori were also opened. In 2021, we started franchising and the first franchise entrepreneur’s lease was signed in July 2021 and the first franchise location opened in Helsinki Töölö in August 2021. Our future goal is to grow the business by expanding franchising.

Blue Lagoon’s values ​​provide an important framework for doing our work and developing our company. Our operations are guided by courage, professionalism, trendiness and community spirit. We want to change the industry and do things differently than they have been done before. We continue our work as pioneers, creating quality services and experiences for our customers based on new trends. We want to constantly develop and make our customers’ lives easier.

It was my first time and I can say that I have never received such professional service and wonderful staff! The treatment was exactly what I wanted and I remembered even the smallest details because the whole experience was perfect! The place will really remain my favourite place! Thanks <3

I am very satisfied with the facial treatment I received. The steps of the treatment and the products used were explained, and the treatment seemed pleasant. I will definitely come again and can recommend to others. Have a nice year!

It was a nice visit (first visit)! Calm and friendly service, unhurried atmosphere, highly professional maker and an all-around pleasant experience. I'll be back!
