The Curling Iron Salon

After a flop with a previous hair stylist I was on the lookout for someone to touch up hair. I luckily ran into a client of Tiami who referred me after I fell in love with her super soft grey hair.
When entering the Curling Iron salon you are instantly in awe of the ambience, very beautiful, very clean, and will make you feel like a queen. Tiami was extremely welcoming and informative, giving me information about my hair and what was healthy for it image not came to bleaching and touching up.
A couple hours later I came out with gorgeous gray hair! So soft too. What really stood out was she perfected my hair until she felt happy with the results– which means a lot after the first person (not from this salon) to dye my hair rushed at the end and didn’t evenly process my hair.
For vibrant colors I really recommend Tiami! Definitely coming back!

I have regained my faith in salons today. As a first time client and new resident to Upland, I went out on a limb. Powered by the reviews on Unilocal,I dove in head first. Lol
I was greeted by the owner. Welcomed and reassured that all my nightmare hair experiences of the past are put to rest. My pedicure was amazing. Non of this assembly line, language barrier, leaving unhappy. My pedi was relaxing, full of pleasant conversation and total satisfaction! Now on to my hair. Monica is super friendly and sweet. She listens and takes her time ensuring we were on the same page. I have a short stack asymmetrical bob, that has been butchered by others! She knew exactly what I wanted and we added highlights in the exact location and color intensity. While my hair processed they esthetician came to do my eyebrows. What a lovely lady. She was so calm and really took time to talk through the process. On top of it we had New Orleans in common. It always warms my heart to speak with someone that if familiar with my southern culture. I am hooked. I will not let anyone else do any of these services. They all have a client for life! Happy is an understatement. I feel and look amazing! Thanks ladies :)

Candice Negrete amazes me every time! I have been going to her for a little over a year now and I could not be happier with my hair. First meeting her, she expressed to me that her priority importance is the health of my hair, and she has followed through with that every single time. I can trust her to keep my hair looking and feeling it’s best. She also helps me stay within my budget as well, if I do not need to come back for another 4 months to touch up my blonde bayalage she will let me know! Long after I have had my hair done, I still get compliments on it! I trust her every bit! Thanks Candice!

Candice N. is great, highly recommend her. Always gets the color & cut right on!

I love this place! Monica is my hairdresser, she does such a great job! My hair was a brittle mess when I found her, now its healthy and beautiful. She’s so nice and easy to talk to. She is very accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments.

Candice Negrete is thee only hair dresser I will allow to touch my hair. I have been going to her for about 4 years now. Very talented in what she does. She will be 100% honest with you about your hair.
Last year I wanted to go light from almost black and she insisted that I do not bleach my whole hair. Instead she advise to put highlights throughout the hair and wait a few months to come back and do another set of highlights. LOVED the way my hair came out. My hair was light how I wanted and looked healthy.
Also I honestly would just go in for a wash because her HEAD MASSAGES are AMAZING! You’ll literally fall asleep it’s that relaxing!
I went in today to become a brunette again. I’m always switching light to dark, dark to light. She colored me a beautiful chocolate brown. My hair looks shiny and healthy!
If your on a quest for a new hair dresser, Candice Negrete is your lady!

I read a few Unilocal reviews about this place and decided to call today, so a woman named anew, or anush, answered she was very nice but said one thing then experienced something else upon arrival.
I was leaving work in Norwalk, yes I work in LA County & live in Ontario, I’m new to this area, so I’m relying on Unilocal for hair salons. Anyway, I spoke to her & the conversation went like this:
Me: hi I’m calling to find out how much a conditioning treatment would be because my hair feels dry & brittle, it’s breaking & need a treatment.
Anush: okay, well we would need to see your hair but yes we do hair treatments. You can come in ANYTIME for a consultation but if you are going to do it we would need to schedule you.
Me: okay, I can come in around 4pm or after.
Anush: sure!
Me: oh ok, what’s your name?
Anush: my name is «a-​new»
Me: a-​new?
Anush: yes!
Me: I asked her, so I could come in & just ask for you? & she said yes!
I arrive at 5pm & I asked for anew, they said «oh! anush» & told her I was looking to get a hair treatment, then I’m told another person named Candace was suppose to see me at 4pm but she left. So, the receptionist says hold on & goes to get someone. And I am left wondering what happened to this anush woman?
Then someone comes to the front mandy & asked «what did you need?» I repeated my self again after, letting the receptionist know what exactly I was looking for, so I told this person, & she said well I’m with a client right now so I don’t know if I can do anything today, I said «that’s fine, I’ll just go check out this other place „Luxor“ I found, who I called & found that they will do a treatment for $ 15» so I left! & I’m here at the other place, walked in & friendly hairdressers asked what i needed & told them & said «sure Hun, Silvia will be with you in 20 minutes» thank God! Silvia is really good, she knew exactly what my hair needed, she also blow dried my hair with a round brush just like I wanted, ahhhh! My hair feels great!!!

Best salon I’ve been to. All hairdressers are friendly and make you feel welcome. Vianney is very professional and does amazing hair would recommend to come check her out. Atmosphere is very clean and relaxing.

So after speaking with the owner of The Curling Iron, she offered to pass my phone number to another hair dresser to fix my hair. Over a week later, I called to check on the status of my appointment only to find out that the owner hadn’t passed my phone number along. I scheduled an appointment for another week but after all this drama decided to go elsewhere. The owner called me upset about my initial review and asked for me to remove it which I politely declined since my review still stands and is truthful. Whether I got my hair done her last week, last month, or last year shouldn’t matter; my review is still my review. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place! Did I mention that the owner ended the phone call by telling me that I was not welcomed there and they could not serve me there?! Yup… she did :/

So thankful to FLORI, for a wonderful Hair cut she gave me, it completely change My hair 360 degrees, it did not make any sense before, now it’s great, and the color it’s fantastic, FLORI is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and very very important she listen!!! Thank you for today’s color, I’m a happy, happy camper keep up with your great attitude!!!

Have been a customer for several years and posted a review which was deemed irrelevant. :(So, I am trying again…
I’ve had my hair done by Debi and my daughter has, too. She will only trust Debi to do special hairstyles on her. She recently had a perm done by Debi and we love it.
I will try to post the picture again. We just want to say that we would recommend Debi Santos in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a hairstylist.

Hi this is Kelly and I get my hair done by Flori she’s been doing my hair by for years she’s amazing hairdresser I come all the way down from Washington to visit and when I do she’s the only one Ive allowed to touch my hair if you’re ever in the area and you need your hair done you should look up Flori at the curling iron

Monica did a great job taking my hair back from an ombré to my natural chocolate brown. She was lovely and warm, and her work was excellent.
The management apologized profusely for having to move my appointment back by an hour due to an earlier appointment going longer than expected, and I thought that was very considerate of them.
I have very long hair, and the whole procedure only cost me $ 55 (before tip)! I’m from NYC, so I was very ahpy to get such great results for such a good price.

DISASTER! My hair is fried from a bad perm here, and the haircut was a terrible, too. I am a college student, paying for my own education. I’ve had many perms in the past with NO problems. While the perm solution was on soaking my hair, the stylist, Debbie, cut TWO other people’s hair, which was a much longer time than I’ve had perm solution on my hair on the past. After I left the salon, and got back to my dorm and took a good look at my hair, I realized that my hair was completely fried! The haircut was awful — one complete layer straight across, and then another layer several inches below. My hair was fried, and this was the worst cut I’ve ever had. I asked for the smallest amount possible off the ends, and over 4″ was cut off.
I did not want anyone at that salon to touch my hair again, so I Skyped with my stylist back home right after I got back to my dorm. She told me to wash my hair right away so I could get the remaining chemicals out of my hair. She also suggested cutting off the more damaged ends and deep conditioning. I went to Great Clips to get the worst of the fried ends cut off. I took photos of my hair before the second cut so I could show them to the Curling Iron. The stylist at Great Clips said, «Oh, my God! Who did this to your hair?»
I called the owner. She said she would have Debbie call me. Debbie the stylist called and told me that she thought my hair looked really «cute». She blamed the frizziness on a small pink streak that I have in my hair at the base of my scalp. I have included a photo (left, or bottom on mobile phone) that avoids the pink streak so that you can see that ALL of my hair was fried. I have also included a photo of how my hair looked after the last perm with my stylist at home (right, or top on mobile phone). Over the past 10 years, I have highlighted my hair, permed my hair, colored my hair and permed my hair while it was highlighted and/​or colored. I’ve never had a problem. Until I went to this place.
My mom went to the salon last week and showed the photos of the damage to the owner. Debbie could not get away from a client, so she called my mom later that afternoon. The stylist did not want to see the pictures of my hair. Debbie said she would talk with the owner and call back regarding a partial or a full refund. Debbie did not have the courtesy to call me back. I never heard from Debbie again.
After waiting 5 days and not hearing from the stylist, my mom called the owner — again. The owner said I had to show up in person and show her my hair. Even though we have explained that the photos she has already seen are better because they show the damage BEFORE I got the worst of the damage cut off, it didn’t make any difference. The owner didn’t apologize for one of her stylists not calling back, as promised. Nothing.
I’m so glad that I posted this review. Until I did, the owner never mentioned the possibility of a refund if I came back to the salon.
Here are the photos. You decide for yourself.

I was in a bind and in desperate need of a haircut and I had to have it done today! I looked at salons in the Upland area and The Curling Iron Salon caught my eye. It had 45 reviews with a 5 star average. I called and spoke to the owner, who was very professional and interested in giving me information about her salon and trying to meet my needs. I called early this morning and I told her what I wanted and I needed my hair done today AND completed by 2 pm. She was awesome! She was able to accommodate me on very short notice with hairstylist Mandy.
This was my first time to the salon and from the outside it looked like a small simple salon, easy to miss. However, walking inside it looked a lot better and it is a full service beauty salon with a manicurist and esthetician.
Mandy gave me a consultation and was really great at listening to my requests and recommending a great color and simple style for my busy schedule. She took her time and did a great job! She even finished within the time they promised they would be done and I left looking and feeling great! I also booked another appointment with her to do a Brazilian Blow Out. I can’t wait! Thank you Mandy.

Came to town from North Carolina to visit my family for a week. I couldn’t get an appointment with my stylist in Hemet so I did some research and I found Candice Nieman! She’s very talented! I’m very pleased with what she did to my hair. I’m attaching a picture so please refer to that. It was very last minute but she was able to squeeze me in her schedule. Of course I wouldn’t recommend not making an appointment with her ahead of time. She did such an amazing job that I would consider changing stylist. My hair needed her touch since it’s become brassy over the last few months. I would totally go back to her and recommend her to anyone. Especially to those hoping to get ombres done. The salon itself is clean and the front desk were nice. Love the jewelries they have for sale!

Well I recently moved to upland and I have a lot of hair problems ! I came to the curling iron to see flori and she gave me a awesome blowout! I absolutely love her and she the best prices are great. i have extensions and she’s very gentle with them and she never fails to make me feel beautiful I am happy with her! FLORI IS AWESOME

I had been looking for a good new hair stylist for quite a few years who could properly layer my hair for when I leave it naturally curly/​wavy, who was good with color, and who wasn’t crazy expensive. Then I met Rachel through a mutual friend and have finally found my life long hairstylist! Its been a long time since I have been so happy with how someone cuts my hair, and she gets it spot on every time! She has a great eye for color too, and has even trimmed my extensions for me so they blend in with my own layers. The salon itself is well kept and a nice atmosphere as well. So satisfied and grateful that I found Rachel at the Curling Iron!

I literally just made a Unilocal account to show off Denea Milano’s amazing work! Everyone was so friendly at the Curling Iron :)
I was unhappy with my hair on how it had different tones and uneven ombré lines (plus my ends were really dry). Denea made my hair blend nicely with beautiful blonde tones and took off the ugly gold tones I had. She gave me a really nice haircut yet still managed to keep my hair long. My hair is super smooth and I’m already getting compliments on it and I’ve only had it done for about 3 hours lol. I will definitely be coming back to her :)
I highly recommend Denea, she’s a really sweet girl and super talented!

So, I drive 34 miles to Upland to get my hair done with one stylist named Candice.
I am so picky with every detail of my hair, and I’ve gone to plenty of different salons, including fancy LA/​Hollywood salons to local suburb salons, i’m almost never happy with the result… Then I finally found THE stylist for me! I went to Candice through a friend of friend. She had done Brazilian Blowout, haircuts, and Ombré coloring for me. She is the ONLY stylist I can trust to do my hair. I kid not, I get compliments on my hair from strangers sooo often. She pays attention to what you want, and does fantastic job at it.
I have never been so happy with my hair in my life, all thanks to Candice. She’s simply the best.
