Student Testimonials
See what former students have to say about classes at DB Nail Academy. I have educated many students from RI, MA, CT, NY and NJ.
“I have taken several of Dayna's classes and I always walk away with techniques that have elevated my game. She is a skilled educator and offers so many tips and tricks during her classes that have made my work better and faster. She is a master of her craft, and also has the gift of being able to effectively teach others.”

“This was an excellent class and definitely worth the investment. Dayna was very skilled and knowledgable. Her passion for teaching really showed. She was very patient and took the time to answer any questions we had. I can say that I left the class with added confidence on how to apply forms and properly sculpt a beautiful gel nail. I will definitely take more classes with her in the future..”
- Vanessa M.
“I recently attended the 8-hour Akzentz Pro-Formance Hard Gel Sculpting Class with Master Manicurist Dayna, and it was truly an invaluable experience. Dayna’s extensive knowledge about every single product, including its application and purpose, was impressive and insightful. She went into great detail about each step, explaining not only how to use the products but also why each one is important to achieve the best results.
One of the highlights was her informative and thorough approach to cuticle care. She shared so many tips that have greatly improved my technique, and her attention to detail in cuticle work was clear throughout. The live demonstrations were also incredibly helpful, as Dayna made them interactive and encouraged us to ask questions, ensuring that we fully understood each process.
To top it off, we all chatted with her over lunch was and it was a lovely bonus! Dayna is not only an expert in her field but also warm and approachable, making the entire day feel both educational and enjoyable. I left the class feeling much more confident in my sculpting skills and excited to put my new knowledge to use. Highly recommended for any nail professional looking to expand their skillset!”
- Kady F.
“Such a great class! I came back to work much more confident about my sculpting and working with the forms. Looking forward to the performance class with you, Dayna. Your passion and dedication truly shows in the classes i’ve taken with you and i’m grateful this industry has an educator like yourself happily sharing your experience and extensive knowledge with us .”
