Luxe Apothetique

Love this local spot. It isn’t a chain and you can tell immediately! Lots of great locally made goods and jewelry. Reasonably priced and everything seems very well made! Definitely one of my new go-​to spots when gift shopping. I always find something there!

Outstanding place!!! Great customer service and the Staff are very Knowledgable. If your shopping for family or friends this is the place to go.

The store itself is pretty average, but I occasionally see something in the window that I want to check out. The clothes are cheaply made, but you never know, so I keep going in. Not anymore. The one star is for their customer service. It is abysmal. I’ve gone in several times over the last few years, each time wondering if I’ll be acknowledged. Nope. Not once. Ever. The clerks are snobby and will even walk right by me without a word. I’m in my 40’s and dress nicely, but I guess I don’t look fashion forward enough? Doesn’t matter. Customers should be welcomed when they enter a store. I won’t bother again.

Stopped in today to leave ok around and pick up a couple fun gifts for a couple gal’s birthdays coming up. Wasn’t even in the door yet when approached by a sales rep asking me what I was there for and trying to drag me to the back of the store to the sale rack and wine gifts. Valerie, you were super sweet but please relax and don’t be so pushy!
I repeatedly told her I was going to take my time and make my rounds and look around. She was very persistent. «What does your friend like?! Does she like wine? Candles?!»
I politely told her I wasn’t looking for anything in particular.
After the third or fourth time being approached by her I stated once again that I was not lookI got for anything in particular. I wanted to browse and if something reminded me of the birthday gal then I would snag it. I made t clear that she would get credit!!!
She did bring me a wine that was intended for someone else though so cheers!
I also repeatedly heard her doing the same thing to several other guests :(
One girl she even blurted out her size and asked if she needed bigger… She was super pushy to at least 3 gals while I was there…
I snuck out…

This place is a hidden gem. Yes I know, it’s in the Domain, but it has the feel of a local boutique. They have odds and ends of all sorts from local Austin jewelry designers and stuff makers. They’re jewelry was beautiful and reasonably priced for such beautiful items. They had a large selection of brightly colored clothes (OMG the colors) in lots of adorable styles. Best of all was the sale selection. I bought an AMAZING backless dress on sales for $ 25 instead of $ 115. Score! I will absolutely be back.

Surrounded by stores I usually can’t afford Luxe Apothetique is one of those in-​between places. They have some pieces that would require some saving up but they also have so many little things that are adorable and affordable. Most importantly the thing that stands out to me is how friendly and helpful their staff is. Super pro-​active customer services rather than reactive customer service. Lots of friendly conversation and immediate help when you look like you’re lost or are holding too much. I didn’t need to ask for anything they were so helpful. So between the fun merchandise and the kind staff it’s never a problem to pop in and look around. I usually end up leaving with a bag in my hand so you know they’re doing something right.

The store is cute! Love their clothes, accessories, and home things. This is a good store if you have a job since its not cheap. I m having issues with how they run their salon. They have minimal information about it, and it is impossible to know who their salon workers are. I am AWARE that their names and number are online but Luxe should have a better system with adding their picture, prices, and a summary about each stylist. I can not chose who to go to because their are minimal reviews about a Stylist.

In the short time since my initial review I’ve managed to buy multiple dresses here and they are SO great! Affordable, cute, distinctive. Love!

I’m updating my last review to add on a star for excellent customer service. I complained the last time about buying an article of clothing that fell apart and was soon contacted by the manager offering a return or exchange. Since it was only an $ 8 bandeau bra, I didn’t take her up on it, but it definitely showed that she cared about my experience and wanted it to be a positive one.

I love this store! Great blend of high end brands with more affordable options. Range $ 20 to $ 150 for most items. Jordan helped me shop on 3÷19÷2015 and she was so helpful and sweet. We will definitely return for more !

This is an odd review, considering I’ve never even met Robert… With that being said, I’ve been doing the color for one of his clients for years and one of my fave parts of Kara’s service is when I blowout her hair and the cut always falls perfectly!!! Kara has fabulous yet kooky hair and it wants to do what it wants, when it wants and Robert tackles this like a champ! Kudos to him and from one hair stylist to another… You do great work and it makes my job easier! Haha!

Well, just waited in line for 20 minutes without ever being helped. The two rich and skinny ladies in front of me kept adding more and more purchases to the original purchase. Paid once for 3 things, then the sales girl forgot to add their mug, paid for that, then the girl decided she wanted to buy some sunglasses so they had to do that. Mind you, also being slow as possible to bag their items. Oh wait, now we need gift wrapping. I’m clearly standing there waiting to be helped and two other employees are just walking around like I am invisible. I’m sorry that you have two registers you don’t plan on using. I’m taking my business elsewhere because I’m clearly not a priority here.

Pros: full boutique and salon, great place for a mid-​range gift, deep discounts on their sale stuff and a wide range of brands. I’m going to be annoying and list some of the brands they carry because I hate wanting to buy a certain brand locally and not being able to find a store that sells it! Here are the one’s I’ve noticed:
Thymes, OPI, Dogeared, Marvis Toothpaste, House of Harlow, Kendra Scott, Deborah Lippmann, Marc by Marc Jacobs (accessories/​bags/​jewelry), Bond No. 9, Kai, Tokyo Milk, Lollia, Lafco, Capri Blue, Voluspa, Votivo, Art of Shaving, Bumble and Bumble, Bliss, Caudalie, Darphin, Dermalogica, Kerastase, Mario Badescu, Shu Uemura, Splendid, Ella Moss, Citizens of Humanity, J Brand, Joe’s Jeans, Current/​Elliott, Bare Minerals, Jane Iredale.
Sadly, they stopped selling Diptyque last year (now Nordstrom is the only store in Austin that I know carries it) but have recently started carrying South Austin Gallery goods – love those cute coasters!
Cons: like others have mentioned, the store is in no way curated, the staff can be undeservedly pretentious, return policy is pretty strict (14 days w/​receipt and no returns on any cosmetics, even sealed) and their «house» brands are incredibly cheaply made and overpriced.
Oh, and how could I forget, free cookies everyday and free MIMOSAS on weekends! Can’t beat that.

STACY JAMES!!! She rocks! If you need a massage or just want an hour of pampering to relax, she’s your gal. I have been going to her for nearly 7 years and absolutely love her! She has learned where all my knots tend to generate and leaves me so far in lala land that I fall asleep almost every time. Gift certificates are also available which make EXCELLENT gifts! hint hint family and friends =) Thanks Luxe Apothetique — your employees rock!

The best store ever! They have the cutest things! You can be there ours… Check their sales section.
Stay calm and keep shop!

This store has so much cute stuff. I could drop a lot of cash here, if, like, I had any. Cute clothes, both their own brand and designers, but most of that stuff is pretty pricey. Tons of nail polish and hair/​body products, plus a spa in the back (which I’ve not utilized). They also have loads of cute knick knacks and arty things by locals such as the ceramic tiles of iconic Austin spots and street art, adorable soaps in the shape of macarons and Popsicles and cupcakes, jewelry at all different price points, and all manner of fun, girly stuff. A time/​wallet suck for sure but worth a visit.
Though I do always leave slightly deflated due to intense coveting of Marc Jacobs stuff that I can’t afford.

I’m honestly shocked to see so many glowing reviews on here. This place is just okay.
The pros for this place: Travel sizes of lots of high end hair products, awesome selection of nail polish, tons of yummy Voluspa candles, and excellent selection of high-​end skin care lines. Perfect place for a small, nice gift.
The cons: cluttered and crowded to the nth, not at all like an upscale boutique. They carry some name brands, but their own line is expensive and cheaply made. Their jewelry is mostly cheap-​o crap, except for the occasional stand-​out. The collection of stuff is just a giant mish-​mash, doesn’t look like anyone really did any curating, and the girls that work there are generally college students without any real knowledge.
Overall, for the price point you’d be better off going to a more tasteful, upscale boutique.

This is probably my favorite store in the Domain! It’s not one of the generic chain stores and it carries a nice mix of higher end and more affordable items.
The store is always very neat and tidy too! I can not handle digging through piles of clothes: p Overall I would describe the style of the store as trendy, but classic and feminine.
Jewelry & Accessories — they have a TON! I can spend an hour just looking through all of it. I love accessories.
Jeans — they have a good selection of designer jeans and always have jeans on sale too!
Dresses — SOOO CUTE! Lots of lovely summer dresses and nice prints.
Gifts & Knick Knacks — large selection of items if you’re looking for a funny and witty gift. The inventory seems to change a lot, so there’s always new stuff to look at.
Make-​up/​Skin/​Hair — They also have a salon and beauty store near the back.

My inner cool self loves this place. A little boho chic and a lot of personality. Digging through the piles of jewelry displayed in cute little bowls or rows of shoes on the ground or tightly packed racks of clothes, I feel a little like I’m in a European flea market… that is, until I see the price tags.
The store is crowded, full of stuff for the casual boho chic chick from the candles, to haircare, to knick knacks and clothing and accessories. The store carries moderately priced items from the «Luxe» brand to big ticket items like Marc Jacobs and Citizens for Humanity. The quality of the «Luxe» brand is not great, but if you want something trendy and don’t mind polyester, this is a good place to shop.
The staff is very helpful and I like to stop by the counter for free cookies and drinks (sometimes alcoholic!).
And oh, they also have a hair salon.

Went there yesterday with a wonderful friend.
A M A Z I N G jewelry! (EARRINGS, specifically!)
Great selection of Bumble and Bumble…
All around, wacky cool trendy accessories and just stuff.
Can be pricey but you do get what you pay for.
Charming Staff!
