Lavish Hair & Beauty is a luxury beauty studio for threading, waxing, nail and facial treatments that actually last — not just look good leaving the chair. The team specialises rather than generalises: beauty therapists focus on skin and hair removal, nail technicians focus on manicures and pedicures, and nobody is asked to be good at everything at once.
We're based in St John's Wood, London, sharing a studio address with Maverick Grooming Studio — two independently run businesses under one roof, each with its own team, pricing and booking calendar. If you're searching for a beauty salon in St John's Wood that treats brow shaping, waxing, nails and facials as genuine specialisms rather than a single stylist doing a bit of everything, that's exactly how this studio is set up.
The menu below covers the full range: eyebrow and face threading or waxing, body waxing from a quick underarm tidy to a full-body treatment, semi-permanent lash and brow tinting, manicures and pedicures across six tiers from a quick revarnish to a full deluxe treatment with paraffin wax, chip-free gel polish, and eight different facials from a fast Express reset to CACI and Microdermabrasion. Each service page sets out exactly what's included, how to prepare, aftercare, and what it costs, so a first visit never starts with guesswork.
Consultation comes first for every treatment, every time — which technique suits your skin for threading or waxing, which facial actually addresses your main concern, which manicure tier matches how much time you've got. The aim throughout is a result that holds up in daily life, not just for the walk to the car afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a patch test before tinting or first-time waxing?
Yes — a patch test is required at least 24–48 hours before any first-time tint, and is recommended for first-time waxing clients with sensitive skin.
Can I combine treatments in the same visit?
Yes — many clients combine threading or waxing with a facial, or a manicure with a pedicure. Mention this when booking so we can allow enough time.
Is gel removal really free?
Yes, on nails where the gel was originally applied here in salon.
Is Lavish part of the same business as Maverick Grooming Studio?
No. Lavish and Maverick share an address in St John's Wood, London, but run as two independent businesses with separate teams and booking calendars.
How much does a facial cost in St John's Wood?
Facials at Lavish start from £42 for the Express Dermalogica Pro 60, up to £100 for the Luxury Signature or Skin Brightening Facial.
What's the difference between threading and waxing?
Threading removes hair line by line for a very precise edge and suits sensitive skin well; waxing clears a whole area at once and lasts a little longer between appointments. Most areas are available in either technique.
How far in advance should I book a facial or colour appointment?
These take longer and use a smaller specialist team, so booking a few days ahead is recommended, especially at weekends.
