Beauty By Tabitha is owned and run by Tabitha Avelar, who works as the sole specialist and books one client at a time. The studio describes itself as a leading destination for eyelash extensions in Riverside and East Providence, and says a large share of its clients are doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. Clients come from East Providence, Barrington, Providence's East Side, Cranston and Warwick.
Lash services start with a $30 consultation, which is deducted from the full set price if the client books. Full sets are done on a separate day: classic (about 1 hour 40 minutes, $150), hybrid (about 2 hours, $185) and volume (about 2 hours 30 minutes, $225). Fills are offered in classic, volume or hybrid, with pricing that varies. Removal of extensions uses a sage solvent and cleanse for $45. The studio also lists cat eye as a style, and can remove lashes that were applied improperly at another salon through a 20-minute gentle cream removal, followed by a complimentary lash bath and structural assessment.
Nail services include a traditional polish manicure with shaping and cuticle care ($45, no massage), a Dazzle Dry manicure ($50), a structured builder gel manicure ($60), and a hard gel manicure ($75, which starts with a consultation and cannot be soaked off). Gel polish and soak-off Gel-X soft extensions are also offered, with prices that vary. Initial nail restoration, starting at $45, is for nails damaged by a previous salon and uses e-file techniques with diamond bits and low-vibration tools. Maintenance fills for structured builder gel are for current clients only. Nail add-ons such as glitter, chrome, French, decals, stones and 3D gel range from $3 to $20.
Pedicures come in four versions: classic with foot massage, dry waterless classic, express, and spa with foot and calf massage and a hot towel finish. The studio uses non-jetted foot tubs with fresh disposable liners and single-use files. Tools are washed with soap and water, disinfected in Barbicide for 10 minutes, then sterilized in a 300-degree dry heat sterilizer, and porous tools such as buffers and sanding bands are discarded after each appointment. The studio describes its sanitation as hospital-grade.
Appointments are required, with no walk-ins. Sessions are scheduled back-to-back, so arriving on time matters. Mornings, evenings until 8 PM and weekends are available. Nail clients should arrive with bare nails unless removal was booked in advance, and lash clients should arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes, without mascara, strip lash glue or heavy eyeliner. Payment accepts cash, major credit and debit cards, Venmo, CashApp and Afterpay for education programs, and financing information is available. Bookings can be made online or by calling or texting 401-699-1881.
The studio offers training for aspiring lash and nail artists, one-on-one with small class sizes, with student tools, practice materials and supplies provided in the studio. Lash options include a 50-hour lash extension certification with classic, hybrid and volume techniques, and a two-day classic lash course. Nail classes cover an Aprés Gel-X certification, a beginner nail class, a structured builder gel class, a Dazzle Dry class, an e-file drill class, a nail art class and a mentorship class.
Sanitation follows a three-step tool process with single-use porous tools, and nail restoration uses e-file techniques that aim to limit over-filing and heat.
A private studio where each appointment is for one client only.
