Two independently run luxury studios sharing a single address in St John's Wood, London. Maverick is precision grooming built for men. Lavish is considered hair and beauty for women. Different crafts, different rooms, the same commitment to getting it exactly right — proper consultation, senior-level skill, and a result that still looks right days later, not just on the way out the door.
Maverick and Lavish were built as two separate businesses on purpose — grooming and beauty are different disciplines, and neither should feel like an afterthought to the other. What they share is a location, a standard, and a belief that the details are the whole job.
Set in St John's Wood, one of London's more considered residential neighbourhoods, both studios were built around the same simple idea: book a service and get exactly what was described, performed by someone who specialises in it rather than a generalist working through a long list of unrelated treatments in one shift.
Precision barbering for men — signature cuts, traditional shaves and beard work from barbers who specialise in exactly this. Every appointment starts with a real conversation about what you want, not an assumption based on a photo or a five-second glance.
Luxury threading, waxing, nail and facial treatments from a team that doesn't try to do everything. Therapists focus on skin and hair removal, technicians focus on nails, so neither is spread thin across services they only half-specialise in.
Maverick and Lavish run their own teams, treatment rooms and booking calendars. Choose the one that matches what you're looking for — men's grooming through Maverick, or hair, nails and skin treatments through Lavish. Both studios operate from the same address in St John's Wood, so it's straightforward to book both on the same visit if you need to.
A precision barbershop for men who want their haircut, beard and shave handled with real attention to detail. Signature cuts, clipper work, beard sculpting and hot towel shaves, from barbers who treat grooming as a craft rather than a quick service to get through.
A luxury beauty studio for treatments that actually last. Threading, waxing, tinting, manicure, pedicure, gel polish and facials, delivered by specialists rather than one stylist covering everything at once.
Whichever brand you're here for, the same principles apply: proper consultation, senior-level skill, and a room that's actually clean and considered — not just photographed that way. It's the reason clients searching for a barber or beauty salon in St John's Wood keep coming back to the same person rather than trying somewhere new every few months.
Each brand's team focuses on one craft, so skills stay sharp rather than spread thin across services nobody has time to master properly.
No appointment starts with clippers, wax or colour before we've actually agreed what you want — even on your fiftieth visit, not just your first.
What goes on your hair and skin matters as much as who's doing the work, so both studios use professional-grade product lines rather than whatever's cheapest.
