Most women in Munich pick their nail salon in Munich based on whichever result comes up first on Google — not on which studio is actually on their way. The result is familiar to almost everyone: years of detours across the city, just to make it to an appointment every two or three weeks. Yet MONLIS runs three studios that together cover almost the entire center of Munich — Goetheplatz, Westpark and Karlstraße. All three offer the same quality, the same products and the same prices. The only difference is location — and that’s exactly what decides whether you’ll keep your appointments reliably for years, or keep rescheduling because the way there is simply too long.
This guide shows which of the three MONLIS studios best fits your daily routine — based on where you live, your commute, and your preferences.
Nail salon Munich Goetheplatz — for anyone commuting through the center
The studio sits within easy reach of Altstadt-Lehel and Ludwigsvorstadt, right at the Goetheplatz U-Bahn station of the same name. The real advantage of this location only becomes clear on a map: the station is served by lines U3 and U6, two of the most heavily used U-Bahn lines in the city. If your work routine takes you between Marienplatz, Sendlinger Tor and the hospital district, you’ll pass this junction almost inevitably.
And that often matters more than price: no car, no hunting for parking, just step off the U-Bahn and you’re there within minutes. For many clients that’s the difference between “I go regularly” and “I keep putting it off” — an appointment fits between two other errands instead of requiring a dedicated trip.
Anyone coming from Lehel, the Altstadt or Ludwigsvorstadt usually has it even shorter: on foot or by bike, the studio is typically reachable in under 15 minutes. It also works well for a lunch-break visit from nearby offices — the short distance to the U-Bahn makes spontaneous appointments realistic, without eating up the whole afternoon.

Nail salon Munich Westpark — for Sendling-Westpark and anyone who wants to extend their evening
Right outside the door lies one of Munich’s largest green spaces: the Westpark, roughly 72 hectares, one of the key recreational areas in Munich’s southwest. The studio itself is located at Ohlstadter Str. 52 and was recently renovated — clients report freshly redesigned rooms and a new atmosphere since the refurbishment.
The Westpark was created for the 1983 International Garden Show. In the rose garden, around 20,000 roses in 500 varieties bloom. For many clients that’s no coincidence in how they structure their visit: treatment first, then a walk through the park or a coffee by the water.
If you prefer to drive, there’s a large car park right by the park at the Wirtshaus am Rosengarten, with some accessible spaces. For residents of Sendling-Westpark that means no detour into the center — an appointment right in your own neighborhood, easily combined with a walk after work or on the weekend.

Nail salon Munich Karlstraße — for a lunch break in the heart of Maxvorstadt
Just a few minutes’ walk from Karlsplatz (Stachus) lies the third MONLIS studio, on Karlstraße. This location works especially well for one group: women working in one of the offices around Stachus or in Maxvorstadt who’d rather use their lunch break than make a separate trip after work.
45 minutes for a classic manicure fits into an hour-long lunch break — as long as the studio is actually on your way. Whether you’re walking from the pedestrian zone or taking the U-Bahn straight to Stachus, the way to Karlstraße stays short. It’s also convenient for students and staff near the nearby universities, since an appointment fits easily between two lectures or meetings.
Details on the exact route and public transport connections are quickest to find via the route planner during online booking.

What stays the same across all three studios
Whichever location you choose: service, products and prices do not differ between the three MONLIS studios.
All three work with the same premium brands — OPI, CND Shellac and Luxio — and exclusively sterile, single-use instruments. Pricing follows the same model across three master levels (Junior, Master, Top Master):
- Manicure without polish: €50 – €60
- Manicure with Shellac: €65 – €75
- Shellac manicure with French tips: €75 – €85
- Pedicure without polish: €60 – €70
- Shellac pedicure: €75 – €85
- Nail extensions: from €85
(Prices may change — please verify current figures on mon-lis.de before publishing.)
More than 10,000 clients now visit MONLIS regularly. All staff are certified, many trained directly at the in-house MONLIS Schule — ensuring a consistent quality standard across all three locations, no matter which studio you choose.
Booking is done online, around the clock — even on short notice. Looking to give someone a gift: vouchers are available from €20 in a freely chosen amount, or in fixed values of €50, €100 and €500.
Give a voucher — for any occasion.
This consistency makes the decision easier than it first appears: there’s no better or worse location — only the one that fits your day. A result that’s equally great at every single treatment can’t naturally be guaranteed; realistically, the vast majority of our clients leave the studio satisfied with the outcome.

Multilingual service — an advantage at all three studios
One point that’s often overlooked when choosing a studio: MONLIS offers multilingual service at all three locations — including German, English, Ukrainian and Russian. If you’d rather not communicate in German or English during your consultation, you can request your preferred language directly when booking online. That applies no matter whether you choose Goetheplatz, Westpark or Karlstraße.
How to find “your” MONLIS studio
Three questions are enough. Where do you spend most of your time — home or work? How do you usually get around Munich — by car, U-Bahn or on foot? And when would you realistically make it to an appointment — morning, lunch break, or after work?
The answers point almost automatically to the right studio. If you pass through Goetheplatz daily, the U3/U6 connection makes sense. If you live in Sendling-Westpark and like to extend your evening, the combination of an appointment and a walk fits the Westpark studio. And if you work near Stachus, the Karlstraße location simply saves time during your lunch break.
Whether you drop by at Goetheplatz in the morning or unwind at Westpark after work — at MONLIS you get the same quality everywhere. Choose the studio that fits your day: Goetheplatz for a route through the center, Westpark for combining your appointment with some green space, Karlstraße for a lunch break in Maxvorstadt.
