Th e heart of Astoria on Steinway
Street is home to a plethora of interesting
restaurants, coff ee shops and
hookah bars, and Le Luxe Beautique
is joining the scene as the area’s newest
business.
Jan. 15 marked the grand opening
of the sleek salon, which featured
a DJ, refreshments and giveaways.
Since then, Le Luxe Beautique
has been a one-stop shop for clients’
beauty needs, complete with
tons of glamour and a classic, clean
look. Th e salon off ers a range of
services, including lash extensions,
brow shaping and tinting, blowouts
and a full service makeup.
“I wanted to do a combination of
diff erent services in one place,” said
Elizabeth Jeanty, the salon’s owner. “As
a mom of two, I know how hard it is
to scramble to get a day for yourself,
so it’s like, you come in, you get everything
done and you’re out the door.”
According to Jeanty, many clients
book multiple services at once and get
to relax in the salon while watching
whatever movie or TV show the salon
is playing that day. Jeanty said that the
salon’s liquor license is in the process
of being approved this year and customers
will soon be able to enjoy a
glass of champagne while they wait.
Le Luxe has a plush couch in the
waiting area, rows of curved lash beds
for getting eyelash extensions and an
elegant fl ower wall that guests can
pose in front of when they’re fi nished
at the salon.
For years, Jeanty, who originally
grew up nearby in the Jackson
Heights area, worked as a freelance
makeup artist, so the beauty industry
was always one of her passions.
Over time, her passion developed into
a dream to have her own salon and
when the opportunity to open up shop
on Steinway Street came up, she knew
she had to take it.
“I knew I wanted to be in Astoria,”
Jeanty said. “It’s great for traffi c. It’s so
diverse and you meet diff erent people.
In Jackson Heights where I grew
up, it’s the same thing. It’s a melting
pot of so many diff erent ethnicities
and people — I love that.”
All of the staff at Le Luxe Beautique
— from the salon’s lash technician to
its hairstylist — emphasize attention to
detail and create a glamorous experience
that makes a trip to the salon feel
like a quick getaway instead of a chore.
“I hope to bring something entirely
diff erent than what’s in the area,”
Jeanty said. “I want it to be a highend
salon, where people feel comfortable,
they enjoy the whole experience
of being here and they’re 100% satisfi
ed as a customer; that’s really important
to me.”
