Meet Tabitha | Certified Aprés Instructor

Too many graduates leave nail school feeling unprepared and isolated. My mission is to build a supportive community with zero gatekeeping—just real skills, shared knowledge, and empowerment.

As a licensed technician and certified instructor, I teach practical, real-world techniques so you can build true confidence behind the desk from day one.

Classes take place at my private studio in the Riverside neighborhood of East Providence. I do Gel-X manicures for clients in East Providence. Salon owners can read about on-site Aprés Gel-X certification for your team, or browse all my nail classes in Rhode Island.
