Our Clients Say

  • Thiara was very patient and willing to recommend what is best for you and that was my favorite part. I left with fab nails and on my way to having healthier nails ❤️. Definitely recommend!

    Amy

  • Say goodbye to your mediocre nail salon! Thiara is the best nail tech I’ve had since living in Europe and New York. She has built a gorgeous salon in her beautiful home that is clean and serene. She is knowledgeable, talented, and lovely. After having terrible experiences at literally 5 different nail salons in Bel Air and Forest Hill, I decided to try a private nail tech and I am here to stay. Cannot recommend Thiara enough. For the acrylic girlies—this is your sign to give gel X a try. Thiara uses an amazing system and it’s well worth converting to get her services. Plus, her prices are great.

  • Amazing mom-trepreneur !!!! Enjoyed every moment. She was inviting and warm. I’m super indecisive and she was so patient with me ! She guided me through picking a design and style. So many options. You can’t tell but I actually have a severely damaged nail bed on one finger and she made me feel whole again. Many blessings on her future business endeavors! Returning for a pedicure and full set in 3-4 weeks !

  • This was my first visit to TLC Nails & Esthetics and I am very pleased! 👏🏽👍🏽Thiara reviewed everything with me and made great recommendations to get my nails growing! My feet feel soft after my pedicure and the color (reddish burgundy) on my toes is pretty, along with the nude color for my nails, with a little sparkle. I’ll definitely return very soon!

  • Thiara’s work speaks for itself and when it comes to designs/inspo/work she is a perfectionist which i LOVE. Every time I get my nails done with her I am happy and satisfied. Her work area and space are always clean, her prices are reasonable and her customer service is top tier. I won’t gatekeep her because she is good at everything she does!

  • I recently had the pleasure of getting a facial from Thiara at TLC Nails and Esthetics, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and incredibly relaxing—exactly what I needed. Thiara’s professionalism and attention to detail stood out from start to finish. She took the time to assess my skin’s needs and customized the treatment perfectly. Each step was thoughtfully explained, and the high-quality products she used left my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and absolutely glowing. The experience wasn’t just about skincare; it was also an escape. Thiara’s expertise and soothing techniques made it one of the most relaxing treatments I’ve ever had. I can genuinely say my skin has never looked or felt better! If you’re looking for top-notch skincare, nails, or esthetic services, TLC Nails and Esthetics is the place to go. Thiara is passionate about what she does, and it truly shows in her work. I can’t wait for my next visit! Highly recommended!

    Nisael

  • I’ve done my nails with Thiara several times and I am so happy with her work. I usually don’t like other people doing my nails but I’m comfortable doing my nails with her. I’ve done extensions and natural nails and she excels at both.

    Eva

  • Truly enjoyed working with Thiara! Received a facial, the facility was clean and welcoming. She explained the facial process, told me what she was doing every step of the way, ensured I was relaxed through the process and even provided recommendations for a skin routine to follow and recommended skin care products to take care of my face! Highly recommended! If you are in Baltimore or the Bel Air MD area give her a call!

    Will

    Toni

  • I really love the gel sets. They are less harsh on my nails and lasted a few days short of a month. I love the design it was professional enough for work but also jazzy enough for everyday outings. I'll definitely be back!

    Si
