Frequently Asked Questions

No. They are two independently run brands that share one address in St John's Wood, London. Maverick handles men's grooming and Lavish handles women's hair and beauty, each with its own team, pricing and booking calendar.

130 Allitsen Road, St John's Wood, London NW8 7AU. Full directions and nearby transport links are listed on the Contact page.

Hours vary by day — the full weekly schedule is listed at the bottom of every page and on the Contact page. If you're planning a visit outside those hours, call or WhatsApp us to check.

Yes. Since both studios share an address, it's straightforward to time a Maverick and a Lavish appointment together — just book each one directly with the relevant studio.

Grooming and beauty are different disciplines with different training and pace. Running them as independent teams means each specialist — barber, therapist or technician — only ever works within their own craft, rather than covering for each other.

Yes — while the studio sits in St John's Wood, clients travel from across London for a specific barber, therapist or technician they've built a relationship with.

Walk-ins are accommodated where the schedule allows, but booking ahead is recommended for both studios — particularly for colour services at Lavish and for a specific barber at Maverick.

Use the "Book Appointment" button on either studio's pages, call 020 7722 6603, message us on WhatsApp, or send an enquiry through the Contact page and we'll confirm a time.

Yes — most clients build a relationship with one team member, and you can request them directly when booking.

Let us know as early as you can, by phone or WhatsApp, so we can offer your slot to another client. Full cancellation terms are set out on our Terms & Conditions page.

Call or WhatsApp us as soon as you know — a short delay is rarely a problem, but a very late arrival may mean a shorter service or a reschedule depending on the day's schedule.

Both studios accept card and cash. If a specific payment method matters to you, it's worth confirming when you book.

Contact us directly to ask about gift vouchers for either studio.

Signature cuts, clipper cuts, traditional wet shaves, beard trims, hair colouring, eyebrow threading and haircuts for under-16s. See the Maverick Grooming Studio page for the full list with pricing.

Pricing is indicative and confirmed at consultation, since it depends on hair length and the work involved. See the Pricing page for a full breakdown by service.

Yes — the Under 16 Haircut service is a patient, unhurried cut for younger clients, in the same room as everyone else.

Most clients rebook every 2–4 weeks depending on the service and how sharp you like the line kept. Your barber will suggest a cycle based on your specific cut.

Yes — fading and blending are included on both the Men Signature Cut and Men Clipper Haircut, from a subtle blend through to a full skin fade.

Yes — grey blending, rather than full colour removal, is the most common request for the Hair Coloring service and is discussed at consultation before anything is applied.

Threading, waxing, tinting, manicures, pedicures, gel polish and facials — from a quick tidy-up to a full deluxe treatment. See the Lavish Hair & Beauty page for the full list with pricing.

These take longer and use a smaller team, so booking a few days ahead is recommended, especially at weekends.

For treatments where a patch test is standard practice, your therapist will confirm what's needed and the notice required when you book.

Threading removes hair line by line for a very precise edge and tends to suit sensitive skin well; waxing clears the whole area at once and lasts a little longer between appointments.

Yes, on nails where the gel was originally applied here in salon — a standard soak-off removal rather than picking it off at home.
