Founder story
Dana Dance – Founder & International Nail Educator
I began my career as a professional nail technician and, through years of hands-on experience and continuous education, I became an international nail educator who has trained hundreds of professionals across Europe and Asia. My journey reinforced the importance of structure, correct technique, and high educational standards in building a sustainable career in the beauty industry.
Dana Beauty Academy was founded from this experience, with a clear mission: to deliver professional, structured nail education that combines technical excellence, accredited training, and refined elegance.

Very good customer service. I went straight there to get some products directly from the academy even though I had to order online, they helped me do it at their academy. I'm sorry I snatched them time, I thought it would be easier if I went to get them but they helped me a lot. Dana and her husband very friendly. Vă mulțumesc
