A Cosmetology & Esthetician School in The San Francisco East Bay

“I transferred from another beauty school and finished my 1600 at JD Academy. The academy is very focused on getting the students ready for the beauty business. The teachers are warm and caring. They are like your mentors to inspire you to be a professional hairdresser and to have the passion to do what you do. The staff is there to help you with any questions and difficulty with the completion of licensure.”

“After contemplating changing my profession for almost two years and numerous school tours, I decided on JD Academy. I met so many wonderfully unique ladies who have all contributed to my learning experience. We have all learned from each other. There are many friendships I made along this journey and these will no doubt be life long friendships.”

“After leaving my previous school I felt a little defeated. I was in a place where I felt lost.
Upon coming to JD Academy, I felt immediately welcomed by both the staff and the students. As my journey progressed, I felt more and more empowered and valued for my work each day. The teachers here inspire us, they teach us one on one and they allow us to be our creative self. The dynamic we’ve got here is on par with nobody else.”

“Hi! I wanted to email and let you know what an absolute pleasure it is to work with Ms. Elayne!! As you know, I'm a UCSB Graduate and I can say with full certainty that she is the best teacher I've ever had - I've retained more from her than any time in my collegiate career! Thank you!”
