I've been taking my girl to the Desert Rose Salon for the last five months and she's been so satisfied with her pedicure and spa treatment. Blanca does an excellent job. Her waterless pedicures are amazing and she will never go back to regular pedicures again. Blanca takes her time and never rushes her pedicures; her feet stay soft longer. So worth the money. I recommend her if you have never tried her waterless pedicures. The customer service is excellent. The interior is spacious with many services available. read more

She offers her honest opinions but ALWAYS does what her clients ask for. She is always so professional and friendly. I can assure you, you will have a great experience and fall in love with your hair if you go with Vanessa. read more

I am a regular here and have been a very satisfied customer with everything Vanessa has done with my hair! She always makes sure my hair is treated properly and gives me the results I want. I've done it all! Blowouts, highlights, cut, style and currently transitioning to honey blonde from cowboy copper.

Highly recommend. read more

I drive over forty miles to get my hair worked on by Vicky Downtain. She is amazing. My hair color is not the easiest to match and she gets all the natural tones perfect. When it's time to cut my hair, she makes sure the length is exactly how I want it. She is also the one that waxes my face. Besides her wonderful talent, she is also incredibly funny. I honestly always leave feeling better. She is also incredibly organized making sure I have an appointment and sends me text reminders. read more

If you book an appointment with Vanessa, just know her daughter will likely be there to assist. Which normally would not be an issue except she has no idea what she is doing. I understand she is trying to gain experience, but she should be practicing on friends and family, not paid clients. I even witnessed another stylist's client storming out after Vanessa's daughters offered to help and ruined her hair. read more

Got a haircut today and had the best experience with Christina. She was able to make me comfortable with what I thought was going to be a giant leap of faith. But, it ended up being so simple and comforting. The salon offers so much more than hair cuts. It's got it all... nails, facial', micro blading/permanent makeup and more. The salon is full of experienced and professional stylists. Right here in Upland I will definitely be back read more

Vanessa has been doing my hair for a year now and I can honestly say I always leave happy! She listens and she is just as invested as you! She takes pride in her work and wants you to leave her chair feeling beautiful the salon is not extremely loud everyone is nice and they have an adorable coffee/tea bar! read more

I booked an appointment with Vanessa for a balayage, and this is what I ended up with. I reached out to both Vanessa and the manager, Christina, but neither of them were able to help me fix the issue. I didn't show up because there was no agreement... I can show messages. Waste my time to fix a strand!!! the big patch on the back and what about that ? You can't charge for something that wasn't done. If she can't do something why even attempt read more

Vicky Downtain always makes my hair look so good. I have been seeing her since I think 2020 and I don't want to see anyone else. She cuts my hair in a way that makes my curls come out and understands the more older style cut that I like. I used to live in the IE and now I live in the valley in LA and I drove to her because she cuts my hair so well. She does everything perfectly and makes me feel so pretty. read more

I had my eyebrows tattooed recently by Heather. Amazing results...and believe me she didn't have much to work with because my eyebrows were in terrible shape. I found Heather to be not only the sweetest, kindness, and caring professional, but extremely thorough, meticulous, and scrupulously clean. She is superior in her work and explains every single step which made me feel very comfortable and completely relaxed. I have had my brows tattooed a couple times many years ago and was afraid and hesitant to get them done again as they were not even and very sparse. Fortunately I was blessed to receive an introduction to Heather by a close friend of mine. Now I want to do my lips and eyes...that's how much I trust her work. Definitely Best In Class! I highly recommend Heather. Truly Brilliant! read more

I can't rave enough about my stylist Kim Krauss at Desert Rose. She is an expert in every area of her profession as a stylist. She just knew what colors would match well and be ideal for my hair and pigmentation, even during my first appointment with her! Not to mention what haircut would look best on me! Needless to say I am hooked, and I will always be her client for life. Reader, you are really missing out on great styling if you don't go to Kim. read more

Everyone is so sweet in the salon! But Baylie is my girl... my color red is very specific and she's got it down. She's very kind and takes her time, I've never felt rush. I travel for work and I always comeback down because there's no one that can do it correctly like her. read more

Initially I wasn't going to leave a review because they ended up refunding me my money and were very nice, but I am just very upset and feel that others should be aware. Now I have to spend so much money fixing my hair for something that wouldn't have cost as much. It's been about 2 months now and I've done my hair 2 more times yet the color still is not right. I went on Feb 10th. I went in asked to dye my hair blonde. I'm getting married in October and my hair had different colors in it (brown, red, and blonde) so I knew it would've been a process. I went in on Jan 30th for a consultation. They did some test strips on my hair and my hair did dye blonde how I wanted it. I was excited, the girl doing my hair was excited and I booked a date. She didn't do the red part because she said she knew it would come out when she bleached it. She told me it would be over $400. Fine it's a nice place in Upland and they have good reviews so it'll probably be worth it. Well, she ruined my hair. She added brown dye to my hair that still after 2 sessions is hard to remove. My hair looks better now thanks to a different salon, but you can see where it's darker brown blonde and blonde. I added my inspo pic from Pinterest and the hair she left me with. I asked for solid blonde and my roots only showing brown (shadow root) and she said she understood but gave me very thin highlights and left my hair with 2 lines dividing the brown she dyed, the middle that is a lighter brown, and the bottom that was a brassy blonde. I also had brown spots in the brassy brown parts of my hair. I understand my hair was different colors but she had informed me that it would take 1 session and then a touch up session closer to October. I believe she was new and did not inform me. I originally wanted to book with Christina (the owner) as a colleague that went to school with her recommended her, but Christina recommended me to Baylie stating she wasn't taking new clients. I give 3 stars instead of 1 because all the other clients walking out had beautiful hair. Also, Christina and Baylie were both very very nice. But unfortunately their niceness will not help pay for my hair to be fixed. They should not be recommending clients to new workers and if a worker cannot do a hair style they should speak up rather than having the client pay way more money to fix their mistake. It's not about testing on people's hair when working in a salon. Anyway sorry for the long review read more

I am celebrating 38 of my best hairdressing years with Vicky at The Desert Rose Salon! Vicky pays attention to the fine details and gets it right every single time. Several of my friends now go to Vicky after complementing my hair style and asking who does my hair. My hair is very fine but Vicky always makes it look full, shiny, and healthy. I hope Vicky never retires, I'd be lost without her! read more

Cannot say enough about this location! The Desert Rose is a gem in this city and I'm so happy with the service I've gotten here over the years.

Listened to what I wanted and really took the time to understand my needs. I will definitely be returning and am loving my color and cut, as always! Thank you Desert Rose and Vicky! read more

Thank you Stephanie for making shaggy haircut dreams come true I'm glad l took her professional advice because what l thought l wanted was actually going to be too short for me. She talked me into a slightly longer length and it is wayyy more flattering for my hair's natural texture. Great call. Thanks again, l love it! read more

Oh my gosh, it is 5:40am and I woke up feeling absolutely beautiful. There is a young woman named Stephanie at the desert rose salon who colored, cut and styled my hair last night. She really knew exactly what my coloring needed, and her scissors worked magic! Thank You Stephanie! read more

I asked and paid for a balayage but received regular highlights. Angelica was nice, however my hair color/style is not balayage. I also paid $45 for toner which was left on my hair for maybe 10 seconds at most. The highlights are not blended and different shades of brown and blonde sadly. Would not recommend - sorry. read more

I've been coming here for maybe about the past 2 years and this place is really something. I love how clean the salon is, and how friendly all the hairdressers are. I have yet to try out their other services such as spa or nails but, I have been going to Kirsten for my hair services for a very long time. I would recommend her to anybody. All my family members go to her as well and have said nothing but great things! Prices will vary depending on what service you want done, so you would have to communicate to see what the total cost will come out to. If you want you're hair done and are anxious about someone getting it wrong I suggest you give Kirsten a try because she's amazing and passionate about what she does! read more

Great place to get pampered and Vicky is the best! I've been going to her for years and now started having hair days with mom.

Guys, my mom looks so beautiful every time! Vicky, thank you for making bonding time with mom so special. read more

Stefanie performs remarkable work; She's one of the top leading hair colourist altogether. From the shape of your face, skin tone, which is ideally n-synced with the hair colour, style, and/or cut. She made me look Absolutely Fabulous to say the least and I'm confident more so feeling and looking sensational. She listens to your request(s), generates feedback in the process, and is a perfectionist at what she does no matter how minuscule. I Highly Recommend her work and magical fingers to perform such aww dropping colours and enhances the beauty incorporated with your face. Stefanie, Countless Gratitude & Thanks for being the Best with Humility. You Strive for Excellence and Exceed it! read more

Just not that impressed with my cut and style. I was charged $65 for a cut and style with Stephanie. If I wanted to look like I left Fantastic Sam's I would have gotten into my Delorean and traveled back in time for the $10 cut I felt I got from her. Needless to say I did not return. The salon is nice and very inviting. There are actually a lot if hairdressers there and maybe I just lost the lottery pool with her. Other clients I noticed walking out and getting their hair done looked fabulous. If you don't mind looking like a "small wonder" flashback give her a try. Meanwhile I'm back to the future at a salon on Day Creek and Base Line and I couldn't be happier with Elena. read more

Go to Ally Frazier...she is the best! She has been doing my hair for over 20 years and I am constantly complimented on the style and color.

Esmeralda has been doing my hair for 25 years. I came to her asking for a "blonde blond ombré ". Well 7 hours later and $260 I got brown. She and another stylist were talking over me at the tub and saying ,"oh well it's not summer yet" She said the brown tone should rinse out and it will lighten. After three washes I sent her a text asking how could I get the toner out. I said this isn't blonde. She said when are you available next. I said Saturday. She gave me a Saturday two weeks ahead. She was 15 minutes late to our appointment and said she got a speeding ticket. 4hours later I was all blonde no ombre and she said that will be $135 more. So 11hours and $395 to get a beautiful blonde hair color and still not ombre. I can't believe that she charged me twice. Buyer beware! Discuss the price for the outcome you expect. read more

If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! Enjoyed my experience here from start to finish. I'd never felt brave enough to go get my hair professionally done because it's usually expensive and I was always worried I wouldn't be happy, I'm picky with me hair! I met Christina and instantly felt comfortable and like she knew what she was doing, so when I finally decided to go professional, I couldn't think of anyone else to call! As soon as I got there Christina greeted me and within 5 minutes, I was in her chair! She confirmed what I wanted and explained the process, letting me know briefly what to expect and how she thought it would look great on me! We had great conversation while she worked on my baylage, gave such a caring touch when cutting, AMAZING massage when my hair was rinsed, and such positive affirmations while I was in her chair. Very very happy customer and wont go anywhere else anymore I also want to mention that the atmosphere in the salon was fantastic, everyone was happy and laughing. They all seemed to get along and I felt very welcome from start to finish! Highly reccomend!! read more

I've followed my stylist Esmeralda to this salon that she works at now. She is amazing! Every time she does my hair I love it!

I'm reviewing Liz the massage therapist at this salon. I highly recommend Liz. She is outstanding at her trade. I have had therapeutic and Chinese cupping technique massages along with a few other tools. Anyhow, Liz is an excellent therapist. If you have chronic pain she works to make you better. She answers questions, makes suggestions and literally has had the biggest success at treating me. She is of great character, her workspace is inviting, very clean. Liz has been available to me on days following massages addressing my concerns. She is also there for those that just want a nice relaxing massage. I love her essential oils!! read more

I was in the area and decided to pop in to get my hair trimmed. A member from my club told me about this place. I was in and out real quick and everyone was super nice. Very clean and professional.

We were very appreciative of their generosity. The GFWC La Verne-San Dimas is a non-profit, 501 (c)3, philanthropic organization helping communities in and around La Verne-San Dimas. read more
