Tarnekia — Velvet Luxe Nail Artist

Meet the Artist

Hi, I'm Tarnekia

I'm a licensed cosmetologist offering a full range of hair and nail services — but my heart and my craft live in nail artistry. Velvet Luxe was built around one vision: giving every client a set that's intentional, elevated, and uniquely theirs.

From intricate nail art and custom acrylics to braids and sew-ins, I bring skill and care to every service. But when it comes to nails, I go all in — every detail, every design, every finish is crafted with precision and passion. My goal is simple: you leave feeling like the best version of yourself.

Questions

FAQ

Here's everything you need to know before booking.

Do you require a deposit?
Yes — a $25 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. This goes toward your service total. No deposit = no booking confirmed.
Do you offer mobile / travel services?
No — all services are done at my location in the Bladensburg, MD area. I do not travel or offer home visits at this time.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking at least 3–7 days in advance, especially for weekends and holidays. Last-minute slots go fast — book early to secure your preferred time.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations and no-shows forfeit the $25 deposit. Deposits are non-refundable.
Can I bring my own design inspiration?
Absolutely — bring reference photos, Pinterest boards, anything that inspires you! The more detail you share, the better I can bring your vision to life.
How long does an appointment take?
It depends on the service. A full acrylic set typically takes 1.5–2 hours. 3D nail art and elaborate custom designs may take longer. Plan accordingly and don't rush!
