Gallery
A look inside both studios in St John's Wood, London.
Straight up: the photos below are placeholder studio imagery for now, not photographs of the actual Maverick and Lavish space in St John's Wood — we'd rather say that plainly than let a polished image imply something that isn't true yet. Real photography of the actual barbershop chairs, treatment rooms and nail bar is being taken and will replace these as it's completed.
Before-and-after photography works differently and is added only as clients agree to share their results — we don't use stock or unrelated transformation photos to stand in for real client work, since that would misrepresent what either team can actually do. If a specific result matters to you, whether that's a Brazilian wax finish, a gel manicure, or a particular fade, ask to see recent examples in person at consultation.
Photos here are grouped by studio rather than mixed together, since Maverick and Lavish are separate businesses with their own spaces — the barbershop chairs and grooming stations sit in one part of the building, and the beauty treatment rooms and nail bar in another, so what you see reflects the actual room you'd be booked into for a given service.
What to Expect
The Details That Don't Always Photograph Well
Tools Sanitised Between Clients
Clippers, razors, waxing equipment and nail tools are cleaned and sanitised between every single client, following standard UK hygiene practice for barbering and beauty treatments.
Unhurried Appointment Slots
Rooms and chairs aren't double-booked to squeeze in extra appointments. That's true of how both studios actually run day to day, independent of what the current placeholder photos on this page show.
Separate Spaces, Shared Standard
Maverick and Lavish operate from distinct areas of the same building, each set up specifically for its own craft rather than a shared, generic salon layout.
Maverick Grooming Studio
Inside the Barbershop
Grooming stations, tools and the day-to-day feel of a men's barbershop built for precision cuts, traditional shaves and beard work — not a quick-turnaround chain salon.
Lavish Hair & Beauty
Inside the Salon
The nail bar, facial treatment rooms and waxing suites that make up Lavish Hair & Beauty — set up for treatments that need real time and quiet, not a production line.
Good to Know
Gallery Questions
Are these real photos of the studio, or stock images?
Right now, honestly, the interior photos on this page are placeholder images, not photographs of the actual studio in St John's Wood — we'd rather say that outright than let them imply otherwise. Real studio photography is being added as it's completed. Before-and-after client photography is a separate matter and is only ever added with a client's explicit agreement, never substituted with unrelated stock images.
Can I see examples of a specific barber or therapist's work before booking?
Ask at consultation, or mention it when you book — most team members are happy to talk through recent work relevant to what you're after, even if it isn't yet pictured here.
Will my before-and-after photos be used without permission?
No — any client photography used here is only added with explicit agreement. If you'd rather your result wasn't photographed at all, just say so at your appointment.
How often is the gallery updated?
As new studio photography and agreed client transformations become available. Check back periodically, or ask in studio to see the most recent work in person.
