Your Esthetician

Hi, I’m Thiara — the hands, heart, and passion behind TLC Nails & Esthetics, a private one-stop beauty studio in Nottingham, Maryland.

I’m a licensed nail technician and esthetician specializing in Gel X extensions, luxury pedicures, and Brazilian waxing — services I’ve refined through both personal dedication and formal training.

My journey into beauty began long before my licenses.

For over five years, I practiced nails on myself, friends, and family — perfecting designs, experimenting with products, and finding joy in the process of bringing a client’s vision to life.

I was always particular about my own nail appointments, and that need for perfection sparked a thought: Why not be the one delivering that experience to others?

Taking the leap wasn’t easy.

While balancing family life, I completed my nail technician training in Maryland through three months of intensive night classes.

Shortly after, I earned my second license as an esthetician — a field that allowed me to merge my love for nails with advanced skin services like precision waxing.

In school, I gravitated toward the services I knew would define my brand — mastering Gel X application (a skill few nail techs offer and execute correctly) and perfecting Brazilian waxing techniques that make the process quick, thorough, and as painless as possible.

TLC Nails & Esthetics first operated out of my home, where I transformed my front room into a serene mini-studio with calming décor and a welcoming atmosphere.

While I loved that chapter, moving into my private suite elevated the entire client experience — more privacy, natural light, a peaceful ambiance, and truly uninterrupted one-on-one appointments.

What sets my services apart isn’t just skill — it’s the experience.

I take the time to understand each client’s needs, offer personalized recommendations, and create a collaborative space where ideas and creativity flow freely. My nail clients appreciate the detail and care I put into every set, often walking in without a plan and leaving with a custom design we dreamed up together. My waxing clients trust me for my calming presence, clean environment, and ability to make even the most intimate services feel comfortable and efficient.

Looking ahead, I see TLC Nails & Esthetics as the go-to one-stop shop in Nottingham for anyone preparing for a special event or simply treating themselves — a place where you can get your nails, toes, and waxing done all in one location by a licensed professional who is dedicated to making every visit unique and memorable. My ultimate goal? To perfect my craft, expand my expertise, and maybe one day share that knowledge with others.

Whether you’re here for flawless Gel X nails, a smooth Brazilian, or a spa package that leaves you refreshed from head to toe, you’ll always leave feeling cared for, confident, and ready to shine.
