As a beauty school educator, you know that your mission is not just about teaching techniques but about shaping the future of your students. But what if you could offer them something beyond technical skills — something that empowers them to build their own businesses and thrive in the competitive beauty industry?
I’m Priscilla Smith, founder of Diamond Nail Tech Academy, and through my own experience building a successful nail tech program, I’ve created a comprehensive system designed to elevate nail programs in cosmetology schools. My goal is simple: to provide schools with the tools and resources to give their students the training they need to succeed — both as skilled nail artists and as business owners.
Here’s why you should consider investing in the program I’ve developed, which will not only enhance your nail program but create lasting impact for your students.
As you’re well aware, beauty schools are responsible for preparing students for the competitive world of beauty. But technical proficiency alone isn’t enough to set students up for success. To thrive in today’s industry, students need to learn business skills, marketing strategies, and client retention tactics — and that’s where traditional nail programs often fall short.
That’s why I’ve developed a program that goes beyond the basics. I’ve combined my experience running my own academy and working with other schools to create a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that helps elevate nail programs and empower students to not only succeed but excel.
Comprehensive Curriculum: My program is designed to complement your existing nail tech curriculum with a focus on entrepreneurship and business development. It includes essential topics like client retention, marketing, and branding — all taught in a way that fits seamlessly with your school’s structure.
Online Training & Professional Kits: In addition to the in-class experience, I offer online training modules that your students can access anytime. These are supplemented by professional kits that equip them with the tools they need to practice and master their craft.
Weekly Coaching Calls: To ensure students receive personalized guidance, I provide weekly coaching calls. These calls focus on real-world business challenges, helping students gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed in their careers.
Training for Your Staff: To ensure consistency and excellence, I also provide specialized training for your educators. This helps ensure that your nail tech program remains impactful, up-to-date, and aligned with industry standards.
Focus on Real-World Skills: The program includes hands-on training in essential business practices, such as setting prices, building a brand, upselling, and even scaling a business. These skills are crucial for students who aspire to own their own nail businesses after graduation.
By integrating my program into your school, you’re doing more than just teaching nails. You’re offering a pathway for your students to transform their passion into a sustainable career. You’re providing them with the knowledge they need to set up successful businesses, serve loyal clients, and achieve financial independence.
This isn’t just about offering a trade; it’s about giving your students the confidence and empowerment they need to take control of their futures. The ability to build a business — to build something of their own — is life-changing for many, especially for those who’ve faced personal challenges or come from difficult backgrounds.
When you invest in elevating your nail program, you’re investing in the future of your students. By providing them with the right resources, coaching, and training, you’re helping them develop not only the technical skills they need but the entrepreneurial mindset that will carry them through their careers.
As someone who has seen firsthand how the nail industry can change lives, I’m passionate about sharing my experience and program with beauty schools like yours. I’ve built my academy from the ground up, and through this program, I want to help you elevate your school’s nail program to the next level.
Let’s work together to provide your students with the tools they need to succeed — not just in their nail career but in life. Reach out to me today to learn more about how my program can elevate your nail program and set your students up for long-term success.
Together, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of future nail professionals.
When Priscilla started her nail salon, Paixão.Co, in 2016, she set out to solve two major problems. First, she wanted to provide clients with the
best services while upholding the highest standards in nail hygiene and sanitation. As a result, her salon was recognized as the “Best Nail Salon”
in city from the moment it opened.
Second, having once been an aspiring nail tech herself, she made it her mission to hire and mentor newly graduated beauty school students, equipping them with everything she had learned about the business. However, she quickly realized a deeper issue—many of these talented young women were struggling to succeed, not because of a lack of passion, but because their training had failed them.
The subpar education they received from beauty schools left gaps in their technical skills and business knowledge, making it even harder for them to build a stable career. Determined to change this, Priscilla researched the nationwide state of nail education and uncovered a widespread problem—most beauty schools lacked the resources, structure, and updated technical curriculum needed to properly train nail techs.
She saw firsthand how this impacted not only the students but also the schools themselves, as they struggled to hire and keep nail tech instructors and build successful nail programs.
That’s when it clicked…
"I realized my salon was more than just a business—it was a vehicle to empower young women and help them find their self-worth through nails. But to truly change the industry, I had to restore the foundation of training itself."
Fueled by this mission, she founded Diamond Nail Tech Academy, the only nail tech academy in New Mexico, to provide high-level training that sets students up for real success. Now, she is on a mission to help beauty schools elevate their nail programs, close the training gap, and give aspiring nail techs nationwide the education they deserve.
