In a manicure for men, the nails are trimmed and filed, the cuticles are removed, and depending on the level there is polishing, an exfoliation and a hand massage. Hand cream comes last. It’s hand care for well-kept nails, no more and no less. Here you can read what happens step by step, how the four levels differ and what they cost.
Should men get a manicure?
Everyone sees your hands: in a handshake, at the wheel, at the conference table. Nails and cuticles quickly show how well-kept someone is. A manicure for men in Munich is a service appointment for the hands: tidy nails, cared-for skin, done. And if the first visit takes a little courage: you’re in a studio just for men. More on that in our guide A Man at the Beautician.

That’s how “Der Klassiker” goes. “Die Schnelle Nummer” (the Quick One) consists only of trimming, filing and hand cream. “Das Monument” adds an exfoliation and hand care, and the massage reaches up to the forearm. “Die Werkstatt” also includes an extra massage for hand and forearm and an eye mask.
The four levels compared
| Level | Price | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| “Die Schnelle Nummer” | €25 | 10 min. |
| “Der Klassiker” | €49 | 40 min. |
| “Das Monument” | €75 | 50 min. |
| “Die Werkstatt” | €99 | 60 min. |
Werkstatt tip: first time here? Take “Der Klassiker”. It has everything well-kept hands need, from cuticles to hand massage. “Die Schnelle Nummer” is the quick stop when you only want your nails touched up. As an extra you can add, for example, a paraffin bath for hands and feet (€25, 15 minutes).
Prices: as of November 2026.
Manicure or nail care at home?
At home you get by with little: cut nails straight, lightly file sharp edges, hand cream in the evening. It’s better not to tear or cut the cuticles yourself, leave that to the beautician. She removes them cleanly, and the skin around the nail stays calm.
How often should you get a manicure?
That depends on how fast your nails grow and how much you work with your hands. You discuss the rhythm you need with your beautician at the appointment. Between two appointments, the tips above are enough.
Hands and feet in one appointment
If you’re already in the chair, the feet can come along. When booking online you pick each treatment individually and combine them as you like. Ready-made combos for hands and feetare available too, for example with the pedicure. How that works is in our guide Pedicure for men: what actually happens.
Manicure at both studios
You can get a manicure at Wilhelmstraße 32 (80801 Munich) and at Amalienstraße 41 (80799 Munich). You book online, straight from the level of your choice.
