Okay so I had been going to Tia for the last couple of years because she's not that far from my house. She's not as friendly as I would like her to be but it's whatever. I kept going because she was keeping my eyebrows on the fleek status. Now, the last time I went to her, a couple of months ago, this is what happened (see pictures). I think she had just gotten back from a trip or something so we didn't even go to the basement she just pulled up a chair and did my eyebrows in the hallway. It hurt but you eyebrow threading ain't no walk in the park so I didn't think anything of it. You know how you have those tears in your eyes because of the pain and when she hands you the mirror you kind of squint and say thanks, well that's what happened. It wasn't til I got home that I saw this. She literally tore my skin off. It scabbed and such and I still have a little scar, mine you this was a couple of months ago. Low key, my eyebrows were still fleekish though. Needless to say I have never gone back and I was pretty loyal to her. Sometimes she's good other times not so much. No consistency and I can't play that game when it comes to my face. Smh. Not only that but I'm sure she saw it and I'm into integrity. If you messed me up don't just let me leave pretending everything was perfect. read more

I found her on Yelp while I was on the manhunt for a new eyebrow expert to shape me into perfection. Her reviews were decent, so I figured let me take a chance. I contact her and she has immediate availability. Hooray! I arrive at her home and it is lovely. We go down to her salon set up and it is large and clean. Double Hooray! So far, so good! I sit in her chair and she goes to work on my eyebrows. Five minutes later she hands me the mirror and I could not believe she had done anything to my eyebrows. There was no shape, they were still untamed, and they looked almost as bad as they did when I walked in. I smile, thank her for her services, and pay. I figured there was no point in showing dissatisfaction because I would not be comfortable allowing her to do anything further to my eyebrows. I then had to drive to the mall to find someone who could fix my eyebrows because I was not having my shapeless brows. The lady who I found in the mall to do my eyebrows did not believe me when I told her that I just got them done! Tia is a nice woman, and based on the reviews I am sure she does offer good services. She just does not give that arched brow look that I like to go for. It is not necessarily a bad thing, just my personal preference. read more

Keeping it short: -home business -available at short notice -large basement set-up -very little done to 'clean-up' my brows -won't return read more

My sister and I would normally get our brows threaded in Towson. Our parents live in the Bowie area and we wanted to find somewhere close by and better than the kiosk in Annapolis mall. I instantly decided to yelp for options. We called Atia and she was accepting immediate appointments. Courtney just got back and not only did she get her brows done, but she got a much needed facial and she looks good! Her face looks so refreshed and younger. She educated my sister on her skin type and condition and even offered to order products suitable for her skin. We will definitely return and take mom next time. When in the Bowie area and in need of a thread, Atia is it!! read more

She has a really nice set up in her basement, very professional, and I like that she took me at a moments notice but my eyebrows turned out really really bad, like no type of arch, and they make my face look very boxy. Now I have to wait forever for them to grow back out so I can go get them redone somewhere else :/ If you want a arch in your brow... Go somewhere else , please lol read more

Not sure what's up with all the high ratings. My eyebrows were jacked when I left her chair... no arch and brows were way too thin.

Atia is the best! She's kind, very personable, and my eyebrows always look nice. Ever since she first threaded my eyebrows over a year ago, I've been committed :) She knows exactly what I like and my brows are always shaped to perfection. read more

First time going to Tia not sure why she never popped in my searches before, but I think she did a good job on my eyebrows. Eyebrows, chin, upper lip done in 10 minutes or less. read more

I've never posted a review for my eyebrows, ever. In the past, the results were always subpar. Atia's work is without a doubt the best I have seen so far. I didn't know brows could be threaded to such precision. Thanks Atia! You have a repeat customer in me. read more

This is a home-based business and Tia does a great job! Just give her a call and she'll work you in! She is very professional and shapes the eyebrows perfectly! For me, her location is very convenient and she prices reasonably :-) read more

Atia is excellent! She did an amazing job on my brows and was very friendly and quick. I will definitely be going back to her.

My daughter and I went today for the first time 3/10/14,,,,she gets threading and she's very hard to please!! Well guess what she finally found the perfect eyebrow threaded! THANK YOU TIA! While there I discovered she waxes, that's my preference, another satisfied customer! We will be back! read more

Atia is great! She always does an amazing job with my eyebrows. They turn out perfect every time.

Almost 3 years later and Tia STILL gives the best facials and threading is still amazing. I went to get a facial a week or so ago and my skin felt amazind and still looks fresh. She uses top notch products designed to optimize the appearance and feel of your skin. I also got my eyebrows threaded and I have to say...I've cheated and gone to other threading studios but Tia's is definately the best. The shape is great and my brows look so clean. She recently opened a salon in Largo but will continue to see folks in Bowie as well. Give her a call and check her out. i am never dissapointed :) read more

In town for a wedding and needed my brow and lip done, had a wonderful experience with Tia threding skills! Although a Bowie location is listed I called to make an appointment and she texted me her NEW address and I visited her in the salon at the Largo Town Center read more

TIA IS TERRIFIC!! When my regular brow lady went on maternity leave unexpectedly, I had to scramble for someone who could thread my brows well. I have had enough bad experiences in the past with estheticians who did not know how to shape my thick brows to complement my face, so I was very leery about trying someone new. During my search, I tried some posh salon in Crofton, Md., thinking that this upscale place could not mess up my brows. Boy, was I wrong! My brows had no shape to them; they were just a hot mess. I came to Tia, who was closer to where I live in Bowie, and she was able to clean up the mess. Although I had some hesitation about coming to a home-based business, I found immediately Tia to be friendly and her place safe. Plus, her prices were cheaper than the upscale salon I visited. So with Tia I found a better service, a better price, and a better location! read more

So happy I have finally found a replacement for excellent threading in the area, no longer have to drive to DC or MoCo. Tia is the best I have had in a long time, took her time, very professional and my brows were expertly arched - not too much and not too thin. She listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. She's won over a brand new customer!!! read more

I went to Tia for the first time about a month ago and she did a great job on shaping my eyebrows. Thank You Tia !!!! I definitely will be back read more

I found Tia through yelp earlier this year when I was in a pinch and needed to get my eyebrows done, but didn't want to drive all the way to Annapolis. I called her and at first she said she couldn't take me, but later called back and made space for me, which was great! When it comes to making appointments she is always willing to work with the most convenient time for you even if you call two hours ahead. Now on to the eyebrows, she does a great job! My first experience with eyebrow threading was Natasha in Dupont Circle who does an amazing job as well, but who wants to drive all the way to DC just for eyebrows? I've tried the mall kiosk threaders, but they always find a way to mess my eyebrows up. Tia does an amazing job with my eyebrows, not too thin and they are arched perfectly. The best part is she is only five minutes away from me! read more
