Had my first facial (ever) at JD and many more since. The VIBE right from the moment you walk in the front door until you leave is engaging, pleasing, and inspiring. Exceptional staff and program, it shows in the students quality of the work, you really feel apart of something more. Going now for hair cuts too. Definitely worth visiting to spice up your routine.

Scheduled the Detoxifying Acne Facial here and WOW. I knew immediately I was in good hands. I was very comfortable and enjoyed the hour, and now my skin feels amazing. Thank you so much Jen for going above and beyond!

I go here often, both for base color and a balayage. On two occasions they put two students together to work on the balayage. Both times I left with half my head looking more colored and with a different pattern than the other. In addition to this, the instructor (the European woman) did not even ask what color I wanted. She chose for me. I understand they are students but they should also take care of the customer.

Milan did a wonderful job. This was my first time at this spa, and it was wonderful. Milan was very confident and helped me with my concerns. She made me feel relaxed I felt like all my worries disappeared. I got a facial and massage and I would highly recommend her experienced hands and expertise. Thank you sooo much!!

If you’re thinking about getting a facial, do yourself a favor and book with Tyler! I’ve never felt so relaxed and seen such a big difference in my skin after getting a facial. She used advanced extraction techniques to clear my skin of the breakouts I’ve been having lately and followed up with a moisturizing skincare routine. She even had helpful tips for how I can improve my daily skincare routine. Go support her!

If you are looking to enroll in a cosmetology or esthetician program, look no further than JDacademy in Danville! From the moment I walked in to check the school out prior to enrolling to the moment I graduated from the Esthetics program, I know that I got the absolute best education possible. It was by far the best school I've toured in the Bay Area. The instructors at the Academy are very well seasoned in the industry and continually are there for their students. The program curriculum is divided into 3 phases where in each we were tested out of with different treatments that would be within our scope of practice (waxing, chemical peels, facials, etc.). With each different phase, comes a different instructor and with that comes fresh perspectives into the field, they share their experiences, you get trained with more advanced treatments, and hands on experiences with clients. During your training at the school, you are educated on how to perform treatments, background of the industry, training on retailing and rebooking clients, and offered very thorough mock state board testing in order to ensure you will be given the appropriate training and studying to pass the California state board test to be licensed. While attending the school you will be offered optional advanced classes that are after school hours for that extra training or to learn about advanced treatments. They leave very little to no room for error of you failing state testing! They care about each student who walks through their doors and you will definitely feel the family-like vibe throughout the classrooms. Class to instructor ratio is also on the intimate side ensuring all students leave with the appropriate knowledge in their respective fields.To say the least, it was a very thorough curriculum and I felt that I got immersed and received the best training prior to being able to graduate. I will for sure recommend JDAcademy to all my family and friends who are interested in joining a cosmetology or Esthetician program. Thank you to ALL of the staff and instructors who have given me the proper knowledge and education there and who have left me feeling that my glass is full and allowed to me find my passion at JDacademy! SO SO Thankful for all of you!

I was so fortunate to attend JD Academy. I had toured other schools and JD was exactly what I needed. Small class size, more one on one with instructors, open door policy. It became my second home. My education was top notch... even in areas I didn't think I cared about... became my passion. I hope all future cosmetologists and estheticians are apart of JD Academy .

I absolutely love having my hair done at JD Academy. It is welcoming and operates professionally in every aspect. Students are well trained and have the full support of the Instructors on the floor, as well as the Reception staff.Give it a try, I think you’ll like it?

I've been here several times and each time, my hair turned out nice. But yesterday, Jessica did an awesome job! Her instructor also did a good job on my bangs. Thanks, Jessica and Vessie.

Scheduled a microdermabrasion facial ($65). The service is about an hour, with additional time for check-in and intake with the student esthetician and instructor. Service room was clean, private, and comparable in setup to a professional day spa experience. The treatment bed was nicely heated with a soft fleece blanket. They provide a spa wrap for you to change into and there are hooks on the wall to hang your clothing and purse. They seem to only schedule treatment 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) and are not open weekends. Prices for their other services seem reasonable too. It's nice to support a local business like this, as well as student estheticians and cosmetologists - while getting a professional level of beauty service. Payment is by credit card, and there's no option to tip that way, so be sure to bring a cash tip, especially if you appreciate the service provided.

I had a wonderful balayage done by Lori, she is so knowledgeable and listens to exactly what her clients want and makes sure to give her clients what they want and more. She did an amazing job on my balayage and trim. I love it so much, she turned a bad balayage done by a salon I went to in the past into something beautiful. I would completely recommend her to everyone I know. The academy itself was very clean and well taken care of. Lori is very professional and makes sure you leave happy with what she’s done. I was absolutely blown away this was by far the best salon experience I’ve ever had at the fraction of the price. I’m looking forward to booking with her again!

Mrs. Shirley is an instructor and mentor who fully embodies the true meaning of the words. Not only did I receive the curated curriculum developed by JD, Mrs. Shirley found meaningful, insightful and practical ways to include her years of masterful experience into my personal learning. Her hands-on style of teaching and mentoring helped me define and design my own style, technique and brand that captures the true essence of the Aesthetician I want to continue to become. It is a great honor and privilege to have learned from and to continue to learn from Mrs. Shirley. I truly value her care, her compassion, her mastery of the craft and passion to ensure she is doing what she can to give back to students and professionals like myself. Thank you, Mrs. Shirley!
