Body waxing

Body Waxing for Legs, Arms, Underarms, Back and Chest

Body waxing takes the hair out from the root, so smooth skin lasts three to four weeks depending on the area. Some areas come back a little sooner and some a little later.

A leg wax is a 60 minute appointment and an arm wax runs 45. Underarms are quick at 20 minutes. A full back wax takes 45 minutes, a full chest wax 40, and the stomach and buttocks take 30 and 25 minutes.

Hair growth doesn't pause for a wax, and each area comes back on its own schedule. Booking every three to four weeks catches the hair once it's long enough to grip again, about a quarter inch, and keeps the smooth skin going without long gaps in between.

There is no single full body wax on the menu. Full body waxing at TLC is covered area by area, and each area has its own price and appointment length. If you'd like waxing and a nail service in one appointment, the spa packages combine a nail service with one or more waxing services.

Facial waxing

Facial Waxing for the Lip and Chin

Facial waxing at TLC covers two areas. A lip wax takes 15 minutes for $15, and a chin wax takes 15 minutes for $15.

The same prep applies to your face as to your legs: a quarter inch of hair and no lotion on the skin that day. Afterward, facial waxing gets the same soothing product as any other area and the same 24 hours away from heat and sweating.

Bikini and Brazilian

Bikini Waxing and Brazilian Waxing

Bikini waxing at TLC comes in four sizes, from a narrow clean-up of the line to everything removed.

A bikini wax takes care of the sides and the top of the bikini line in 30 minutes for $35, and the bikini line wax is the narrower version at $30.

An extended bikini wax goes further in than the line without taking it all, 35 minutes for $50.

A Brazilian wax removes all of it, front to back, in 40 minutes for $65.

Not sure how much you want off? The Brazilian wax vs bikini wax comparison puts all four bikini waxing options side by side with what each one leaves.

The suite

Who Else Is in the Room During Your Wax?

Nobody. The suite books one appointment at a time and Thiara works alone, so for the length of your wax the room holds the two of you.

Body hair removal means undressing and holding still for someone, sometimes for 60 minutes on a leg wax. It is easier to relax into when the door is closed and yours is the only appointment in the suite. Every visit is booked ahead, and there are no walk-ins.

Thiara earned her Maryland esthetician license in 2025, a year after her nail technician license, and both hang framed on the suite wall. She opened the suite on Belair Rd in August 2025.

Soft wax and hard wax

Soft Wax, Hard Wax, and Where Each One Goes

Hard wax goes on the most sensitive skin. It grips the hair as it sets and lifts away without a strip.

Soft wax is spread thin over the broader areas and comes off with a strip. Which one goes on depends on the area being waxed, and both are a premium wax.

Either way it is a hair removal method that works from the root, which is where the three to four weeks of smooth skin comes from. A razor only cuts the hair at the surface, so the regrowth is already there the next day.

Prep and aftercare

Before Your Wax and After It

Hair removal with wax needs about a quarter inch of hair and clean, dry skin to grip well.

Before your wax

  • Let the hair grow to at least a quarter inch, about the size of a grain of rice.
  • Skip lotions and oils on the day of your wax.
  • Exfoliate gently 24 hours before the appointment.

After your wax

  • A soothing product goes on as soon as the waxing is finished.
  • For the first 24 hours, stay away from heat, sweating and tight clothing.
  • After 2 to 3 days, exfoliate lightly to help prevent ingrown hairs.

Exfoliating before and after both clear away dead skin so new hair grows out through the surface, which helps prevent ingrown hairs.

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. For the acrylic girlies, this is your sign to give Gel X a try. Thiara's system is well worth converting to. Plus, her prices are great.

I absolutely love my nails every time I come here! My sets consistently last 3-4weeks, which says a lot about the quality and care put into the work. The space is always clean, peaceful, and relaxing, it never feels rushed or overwhelming like typical salons. What really stands out is how approachable and welcoming the experience is. You can tell there's real attention to detail and pride in the work. If you're looking for long-lasting nails and a calm, professional environment, I highly recommend TLC Nails & Esthetics!

I had such a great experience getting my nails done! The salon was clean, welcoming, and relaxing. My nail tech was professional, friendly, and paid close attention to detail. I love how my nails turned out, beautiful, neat, and exactly what I wanted.

TLC was exactly what I've been longing for over several years: a professional nail manicurist that is knowledgeable, skillful, and really cares about the health of my nails. Thiara was very patient, answered all of my concerns, and educated me on the particulars of BIAB. I love how my nails turned out and I finally can rest from shopping all around for a professional manicurist.

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 had my first builder gel manicure with Thiara today, and I couldn't be more impressed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly prioritizes the health and integrity of your nails. Her attention to detail is outstanding. The final result was absolutely impeccable, and she truly didn't miss a thing.

I'm so glad I found Thiara as my new nail tech. I'm on my third hard gel set with her and I know they're going to last me a full 3 weeks until my next appointment. Her studio is super clean and she's very professional. She even mixed nail polishes to color match an inspo pic I showed her.

I am so happy to have found Thiara. Her salon had a chill and relaxed vibe. Much different than other salons I have been to. She listened to my nail concerns, created a plan and I left extremely happy. Two weeks later and my nails still look amazing.

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.

My nails are wonderful. Thiara did my sculpted hard gel nails beautifully. Her private nail salon suite was clean and welcoming. This was a better experience than going to a regular nail shop.

Thiara did an amazing job on my manicure. Not only was she quick, but she was efficient. My Gel X service was done in less than an hour and I did not feel like it was rushed. Oh, and she made sure my nails are within Army regulations.

Hair should be at least a quarter inch long for waxing, roughly the length of a grain of rice. Shorter hair gives the wax too little to hold, so some of it can stay behind after the appointment.

Waxing at TLC lasts three to four weeks depending on the area, and some areas come back a little sooner or a little later than that. The hair is taken out at the root, so it has to grow back from the start.

Getting waxed every three to four weeks lines up with how long the results last for most areas. If the hair on one area grows back sooner, book that area a little earlier and keep the rest on the same schedule.

Yes, Thiara waxes clients through all nine months of pregnancy, and your skin is likely to be more sensitive than usual during that time. Mention the pregnancy when you book so she knows before the appointment starts.

No, TLC Nails and Esthetics does not take walk-ins for waxing or any other service. Every wax is booked ahead through the calendar on this page, so the suite is ready for you and no one else is waiting when you arrive.

Hard wax grips the hair as it sets and lifts away without a strip, so it goes on the most sensitive skin. Soft wax is spread thin over the broader areas and comes off with a strip. Both remove the hair from the root, and both are a premium wax.

Every wax at TLC Nails and Esthetics happens in a private suite that holds one client at a time, by appointment only. Thiara works alone, so the only people in the room during your wax are you and her.
