No Gatekeepers. Just Real Growth.
Too many graduates leave beauty school feeling unprepared and isolated. My mission is to change that narrative. I build supportive, hands-on training environments where knowledge is shared freely and every student is given the exact tools, confidence, and ongoing mentorship needed to succeed.

Located at 101 Turner Ave in Riverside, RI, Beauty By Tabitha operates as an ultra-private 1-on-1 studio. Whether you are coming in for healthy nail restoration or enrolling in a 50-hour certification course, every session is dedicated solely to you with zero overcrowding, zero rushing, and custom schedules designed for busy mothers and working professionals.
