What people are saying

by lee love

JD AND VICTOR'S should be listed as one of the seven wonders of the world. If you are tired of having bad hair days be sure and ask for chris. On your first visit with him he will spend time just looking at your face, your eyes, your "look" -- just to decide what cut and color matches "YOU." The whole experience with chris will be all about YOU. He is a master with the scissors and his cut will make you feel more photogenic -- because you will be. I have lived in SA TX for a long time (years) and can promise you that he is the best. I now have four other people going to him, and they all say they have been spoiled and can't imagine going to see anyone else. chris never cuts corners with his time and will make you his work of art. And when you leave there you will have no trouble maintaining your style. My hair actually just falls into place on its own. I only have good things to say about chris He's very confident, and he has reason to be. If he ever leaves SA TX I'll have to travel to him because he's irreplaceable. I never give reviews, but I had to praise him.

I am very particular when it comes to my hair and ever since moving to the U.S. over a decade ago I have had more than my share of horrible haircut experiences that sometimes left me in tears. Not this time! I came to jd&victor's because I read the positive reviews on Citysearch and am VERY happy with my color and cut. My previous stylist was never able to give me a precise haircut (I have short hair) and the mileage I got from those cuts was about 10 days. After that it began looking completely out of shape, giving me "helmet or broom head". My philosophy has always been that with a great cut, I won't have to go back to my stylist too, too soon. And I think I got what I wanted this time! jd approach seemed effortless with both color and cut. An anxious moment came when at the end he whipped out brush and dryer, because usually I do not use either. Having somewhat curly hair, I normally just scrunch my hair with a bit of product and that's it. But oh, what a pleasant surprise - I actually looked quite cool and not like a boring, middle-aged housewife, which is what that brush/dryer approach usually does to me. I left the salon with great color, shiny, healthy-looking hair and an updated look I had almost forgotten one could achieve. Thanks, jd- I'll be back!

False, Illegal Advertising

by OutInAPout

I am a professional makeup artist, and as such, I have a body of images representing my work. Any pro worth their salt does. This salon, however, chose to steal images from other makeup artists whom they have no relationship with to promote their Halloween Makeup Artist Bren.

Would I put my face or hair in the hands of a stylist that does not show her own work in adverts, but chooses to steal other artist's images and imply that it's theirs? No way!

Keep in mind, the salon owners could have been professional and purchased stock images if they had no photos of their own work (but, again, why don't they want us to see what they do?) Instead they stole images and refused to take them down when the artist who created them asked. They actually went from using the image to publicize the talent of their "FX artist" Bren to using the SAME image to say that the artist that created it (a well known internet persona) was an amateur and that Bren was better.

My question- if Bren is so much better, why isn't BREN'S WORK ON DISPLAY?

• Pros: none
• Cons: images presented as this salon's work are STOLEN!

Horrendous

by katelouise

I can't even believe he can operate as a business. He steals other peoples' work then claims it as his own. When found out he ridicules the person instead of doing the proper thing and taking them down.

If I could, I would give him 0 stars

• Pros: Absolutely nothing
• Cons: Completely unprofessional and a theif
