In 1947, shortly after graduating from secondary school, Vihandi began a year-long engagement at the Vanemuine theatre in Tartu as a soprano choral singer. The following year, she joined the Endla Theatre in Pärnu as an actress, dancer, and choral singer, leaving in 1950.

In addition to roles as an opera singer and stage actress, Vihandi also appeared in a number of roles in film, beginning with a leading role of Elizaveta Lomonosova in the 1955 Aleksandr Ivanov-directed Russian language Soviet drama Mikhaylo Lomonosov.[5] Notable appearances in Estonian language films include the role of Heli in the 1957 drama Pöördel, the role of Luisa in the 1958 drama Esimese järgu kapten,[4] and the role of Teele in the 1960 historical drama Perekond Männard.
