Nail Care and Waxing Guides
Nail care and waxing are full of services that sound alike: BIAB and hard gel, builder gel and Gel X, a bikini wax and a Brazilian. Thiara does each of them herself, one client at a time, in a private suite in Nottingham, MD.
Not sure which one you need? Ask Thiara first.

Start With the Question You Have
Each guide compares options side by side, with the real prices and appointment lengths from the booking calendar.

Builder Gel vs Gel X
Builder gel makes your own nails stronger, and Gel X adds length with a soft gel tip. What each costs, how each is filled and which one your nails need.Read the guide
Brazilian Wax vs Bikini Wax: How Much Comes Off
A bikini wax takes what a swimsuit would show, and a Brazilian takes everything. The menu runs four steps, each with its own time and price.Read the guide
BIAB vs Hard Gel
Two builder gels that look alike on the nail. One soaks off in acetone, the other is filed thin and grown out, and each suits a different nail.Read the guide
