Lavish Luxé Beautique

Lavish Luxé Beautique is in Raytown, Missouri. The business describes itself as a premier beauty headquarters and calls its format a beautique, a boutique-style salon built around specialty services and a space where women can express themselves through beauty.

The hair menu covers braid services, luxury wig installs, and sew-ins and quickweaves. Shampoo, blow-out and an optional trim are offered as non-braid services. Wand curls and crimps are an add-on that must be added when the appointment is booked.

Clients should know a few booking terms before they come in. A non-refundable $20 retainer is charged on every service to hold the appointment, and appointment times are estimates. Changing a service means canceling and rebooking. An appointment can be rescheduled once through the confirmation email, after which a new deposit is needed. Clients must bring their own lace frontals, closures and wigs, and children and extra guests are not allowed. The remaining balance is paid in cash or by card, not CashApp, and exact change is requested since no change is kept on site. All sales are final, including class deposits.

Beyond the chair, the business rents private suites that renters can decorate. Rent is a $300 move-in fee plus $150 a week, and inquiries go through an online form. Shared amenities include a community waiting area, a shampoo and dryer room, a microwave and refrigerator, and WiFi, though suites have no in-suite water. Gift cards come in $100, $250, $400 and $550 amounts or a custom amount, can be bought for one person or as a pooled group gift, and can be reloaded and checked online. Custom or made-to-order items need three to five days to process and ship by USPS Priority 2 Day. Hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Wednesday and Saturday, 9 am to 9 pm Thursday and Friday, and closed Sunday.

The business presents itself as a boutique-style space with specialty services, designed for women to express themselves through beauty.
