I found this post from a web stat report from my website, www.giawood.com. The comments from "Cindy" posted below about my services on her daughter Crystal Divorne are completely inaccurate. Crystal Divorne was a client who came to get extensions from me when I had just relocated to Austin from the Dallas area shortly after getting married. She agreed to do the modeling program that I offered on my website and her extensions were applied at the Jacques Dessange salon as a “model” for part of their interviewing process. After the extensions were applied at the Jacques Dessange salon, she later came back for numerous color appointments and another application of hair extensions. At this time I had decided to work at another salon in the Austin area names Salons Unique. Since I have family in the Houston area, and that is where Crystal Divorne lived, she asked that the next time I come through Houston I apply her extensions and hair color at her boyfriend’s home so that she would not have to drive all the way to Austin for her hair appointment. While I was at Crystals boyfriends house applying the second set of hair extensions the dogs owned by the boyfriend jumped all over my brand new car which I had only had for one week. This Houston appointment happened one week before thanksgiving 2005. Crystal and her boyfriend thanked me for coming to the house so crystal would not have to drive to Austin, and walked me out. Upon looking at the dog scratches all over my car I went back to the door and got both Crystal and her boyfriend so that they could look at the damage done to my car by his dogs. The boyfriend offered to fix the damage at a body shop he worked at in Houston. I said that I would have to wait until after the holidays to get the repairs done since I would have to drive to Houston to get the car repaired at his shop. After the holidays I called crystal numerous times and she ignored my calls. Since the damage was only $300, I thought it wasn’t worth the hassle and decided to just let it go. Skip forward to June 2006. I get an email from a person who I had conversed with many times about my services saying that there was a salon in Houston using all of my photos from my website on their own website and claiming this work as their own. She also sent a link to the site. When I visited the website (www.FancyGirlHair.com) I was shocked to see that not only had my photos been used on this site, but it was a previous client of mine WHO IS NOT EVEN LICESENED TO BE DOING HAIR who was using them! All of my photographs are copyright stamped so that people will be less inclined to steal them, as Crystal Divorne had done. That did not stop Crystal from using the photos. She simply took her own banner and placed it over the copyright banner that I had placed on the photos. She even had the nerve to take her own before and after photo that I had taken of her when I did her hair extensions, placed her own banner over mine, and used it on her site. The girl who sent me the information on her using my photos sent Crystal an email scolding her for fraudulently using my photos. When Crystal received this email she claimed she didn’t even know who I was. When I forwarded Crystal the email along with my own personal comments of what I thought about her breaking numerous federal copyright laws, she simply claimed that she had no idea that they were my photos and that a web designer had built her website. “How is it that there is a picture of you on your own website that I took of you and you didn’t recognize that it was a photo of yourself?” After telling Crystal that if she did not post a public apology and disclaimer about the photos she stole I was going to proceed with legal action, she took down the photos and refused to assume responsibility for her actions. She also claimed that I was trying to extort her to get “a new car”, even though the estimate that I sent her a few weeks after the dogs scratched my car was only for $300, not for the $30K my car actually cost. Since all of this has transpired, I have posted all of the evidence of Crystal Divorne's actions on a website (www.CrystalDivorne.com) for all prospective clients for hair extensions to see. I do not feel it is fair that my work is ripped off and then PUBLICLY DISCREDITED by someone who is a liar, a fake, a criminal, and does not take any kind of responsibility for their actions. Also, the statements that “Cindy” made about Crystal being charged $2500 are inaccurate, and I have financial statements to back that up. What you have here is a mother, if that is who “Cindy” really is to Crystal Divorne, trying to protect or even conceal the actions of her criminal daughter. Even today if you visit www.FancyGirlHair.com you will see photos of mine that Crystal is using to explain the extensions process. -  gia

I sent my daughter to Gia Wodd after finding her website. She had been wearing Great Lengths Hair Extensions for about 3 years when she visited Gia in Austin for HairDreams Extensions. She charged $2500 and did a hack job on them. Pieces were uneven and blunt cut across. They lasted the same amt of time as Great Lengths, but tangled and matted. She was talking on the phone and using profane language. She didn't have all her tools on hand and we had to go to her house, which was filthy and reaked of cat pee, so that she could get everything she needed. She was unprofessional and immature and I could not wait to leave. We didn't even go back to have them removed by her because I didn't want to deal with her anymore. Coincidentally, I have since heard from friends that I referred to her, that she acted similarly and continues to overcharge and under-deliver services. Since, I have been wearing So.CAP hair extensions by Crystal Divorne (www.fancygirlhair.com) when I'm in Texas (about $1100) and FlatTracs by Syndie Orr when I'm in Nevada (although she is in California, about $1000) (www.extensionsbyashley.com). It takes alot to find a good stylist that is REASONABLY PRICED and PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL SERVICE! - cindy , posted 06/18/07 |
