Cindy is amazing. She has been doing my hair for 10+ years and I can't imagine going to anyone else! She always knows what I want without me having to tell her. The salon has a super friendly vibe. I highly recommend Cindy and the salon. read more

I was very happily getting my hair done for about 2 years at a different salon but my stylist retired so I asked around and several neighbors suggested Monique at Hair Connection. She impressed me on day one and, as it turns out, she actually trained under that previous stylist at the other salon. Such luck! I have extremely dry, thick, wavy hair so I go to Monique for keratin straightening, color (hi, lo lights, ombre, balayage) and to get my hair thinned out. My color is extremely difficult because I'm trying to achieve a gray blend, but I also swim in a chlorinated pool almost every day. Somehow Monique manages to work magic and keep my color fresh. Family and friends tell me I've never looked better. The cherry on top is how reasonable her prices are, especially for this area. I send my best friend and my son to Monique now and they also have never had better cuts. My son is a curly q, which is not easy to cut, but Monique makes for a very happy teenager and that's teally saying something! read more

Cindy did an amazing job on a cut and new color! She was so sweet and encouraging. It was an overall great experience. read more

This is a great salon on the Main Street! Hairstylist Clementine Sedighi (Tina) did my elderly aunts hair. She was professional, compassionate and did a fabulous job on her hair. It definitely takes extra care and a big heart to work with the elderly so for that I commend her. The salon is clean, contemporary and attractive with many products. Street parking and parking in the back. We will be going back to see Clementine and cannot wait. Clementine specializes in perms, haircuts, color and lightening services. Book her now!

Michelle is FABULOUS!!!! Used to come here when I was a pre teen and high school student with my mom and recently went back as an adult when I was in town for a visit. I was looking to change it up and take a bit of a risk - Michelle nailed it! And funny enough, the chair I sat in was the very same I had my prom up do done in! Full circle indeed. Thank you, Michelle, for freshen up my look! Will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to the hair Connection for at least 3 years now. Linda Bell gives me the most perfect highlights!! She's very knowledgeable in cutting, coloring and which products are good for my hair. She is the best at what she does!! read more

Cindy does amazing work and understands what your hair needs to stay healthy. She also gives solid recommendations on how to treat damaged hair and knows a lot! I came in with super dry hair that had been damaged from heat and color. She made my hair feel and look a lot healthier after one treatment. She also did a great job dying and styling it. You can reach her at (909) 275-0867. read more

I had been visiting my Mother in Claremont for 3 months and desperately needed to get my hair colored. I ask my cousin who she went to... and she told me about Hair Connection and to go see Cindy there. Sure glad I did. Cindy understood long and thick hair and was not afraid to work on this mane of mine. I told her I thought my hair was too dark (doing a bad job of box dying) and she fixed me up. High lights of reddish hues through my hair. It turned out Fantastic. I couldn't be happier with her knowledge and the care she provided me. Super easy place to park and get to. I highly recommend this salon and Cindy as a stylist. read more

Great experience! Cindy is awesome! We totally changed my look and I couldnt b happier! She made me feel comfortable and she explained the steps as she took them. I am a very happy customer and I recommend Cindy to anyone whos tired to hairdresser hopping!! read more

BEWARE !! " Cindy Martinez. WHAT A JOKE ! Please make sure you don't believe the positive reviews on Yelp about hairdresser Cindy Martinez. My daughters regular stylist at another salon was not going to be available for a couple of weeks so my daughter went to Cindy because she believed the Bull S- - T good review postings about her. This was the worse haircut I have ever seen.....chop. chop, chop, all over, it was as though a little kid cut her hair. She has a nerve calling herself a hair stylist.......more like a butcher. BEWARE ! read more

Unfortunately, even though it says "walk-ins" on the door, evidently, this is not the case. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon to a mostly empty salon, and after waiting for a few minutes, a woman with pink hair sauntered slowly up to the front. When I asked if a stylist might be available to cut my child's hair, she said no and actually directed me out of the salon to the tune of "there's another one down the street." Upon reflection, I realized we were dressed in our Saturday casual wear, and perhaps did not look like wealthy clients they want from Claremont. She didn't bother to take our names, see if we could make an appointment for later, nothing. In fact, at 3 in the afternoon, she told us she was about to lock the door. Since their hours are until 7, this was a questionable unbelievable comment. She couldn't have made it any clearer we weren't welcome. Maybe they do a good job with hair, but we would not know because we weren't welcome as clients there. It was a depressing, angering, embarrassing experience. Will never go there again. Recommend you don't either. We went down the street and made an appointment at Aveda. They don't seem to mind taking our money. read more

CINDY MARTINEZ!!!!! """you hacked my hair !!!! i thought you knew what you were doing based on these frekin yelp reviews. you ruined my self confidence at the worse time in my life and the things i'm going though. i have to now go spend more mo ey now to fix your problem. i would never let you touch my hair again!!!! lease don't offer to fix it s you would probably chop what i have left. again i came to you because you had alot of good yelp reviews. wqs rhat friends and famiky thay wrote them ????? i feel shafted and ugly. the owner was gracious and gave me full refund !!! plus the tip ! thank you for handling it the way you did owner it's been a couple weeks and i still feel so angry that cindy martinez jacked my whome look up. yes i knkw it will grow but cindy martinez hacked layers i asked to trim and shape not hack! i'm 52 and was growing my hair out for past year i dont have many chances to grow my hair out so once again thanks for misrepresenting yourself as some experience hair stylist!!! i wasn't gonna post this for the fact that linda bell"owner "she was empathetic and apologetic. but everytime i look in mirrir it boggles me how she could have done this to my beautiful one length hair gonna finally put this to rest. lesson learned """ do not trust yelp reviews!!!!!! read more

Two Words.....GINNY FAITH! She is an excellent hair dresser and a woman who KNOWS her stuff! I love her!! I've been coming to this salon for about a year now and each time I leave impressed with my hair :) I look forward to my appointments because I LOVE talking and visiting with her ~ not to mention the fabulous job she does on my hair. She is very courteous and offers water or wine to drink. She specializes in hair cut and color. She is also certified for Hair Loc's (hair extensions). I would highly recommend her!! read more

Linda Bell is awesome. She listened to everything I had to say about my hair and was able to figure out what I wanted; which is hard when I had more things I didn't like than liked about my hair! Linda did not rush and I felt her undivided attention. The salon is updated, clean and easy to find. read more

Cindy did a great job with my hair! It's my first time in the salon and I'm getting married in a month, so a little nervous. I asked for a highlight to add the illusion of volume since I have a very fine hair and also a natural balyage. It came out prettier than I expected! Also the price is very reasonable unlike other salons I've been on. Thanks so much Cindy! I'm definitely coming back! read more

If you want to love your style, color and cut, ask for Cindy! A girlfriend recommended Cindy after I admired her hair. My hair has been a battle my whole life and now that I've received a Brazilian blowout, lowlights and a great cut, I'm a new woman! read more

I've been going to Linda for over 15 years and while living in 3 different states. I've had full foils, partial foils with dye to "reset" the rest of my hair that had been showing years of highlights and getting too blonde, hair styling for prom, cuts to both long and medium length hair, and microblading. She always listens so as to be sure she is giving me exactly what I've asked for. (Even when what I want is questionable, like the one time I went with those suuuuuuper chunky highlights. I maintain it was cool at the time!) She was just as detail-oriented as I was when doing the microblading, and I cannot stress how much I appreciate that. She keeps records of thre work she performs so she can easily reference it in subsequent visits--I love that commitment to service. I love the results each visit and still visit her for touch-ups. She knows how to cut curly hair, which is critical for me so that I don't end up with the dreaded triangle poof. I'll keep going as long as she's in business! read more

Tom (owner) has known me and my hair since I was 32. I'm now 61. But Tom stays VERY current with trends and latest styles. He is the best colorist possible and I have never left there crying, wondering what happened to my hair? He listens to me and yet understands my hair better than I do! There have been a few times when has told me "not a good idea" when I suggest a certain cut (and he is always right!) because he knows it won't look good on me. All of the stylists in this salon are top notch and reasonably priced. Give them a try! read more

When I first moved to Claremont, finding a hair stylist seemed to be the biggest challenge of all. I could not find anyone to duplicate the hair cut I had arrived with. By the time I found Julie Kolodge at the Hair Connection, I had resorted to showing a photo of my "former" hair cut. That was in 2003...Julie was able to follow the picture of my hair cut and still does to this day - consistent month in and month out. read more

Elaine is the BEST. I have thick hair and every where I went before I found Elaine they always cut it wrong. Elaine works miracle. She also does eyebrows. She is off the hook with eyebrows. I use to over pluck and thought I could not be helped till I met her. She's sweet and very knowledgeable and worth every penny. Love her. read more

This is an email that I sent to my stylist Cindy after she colored and styled my hair with extensions: Cindy I just have to tell you what happened today because I give you all the credit! When I went to get my oil changed, the mechanic asked me out, and we just had a soda together on his lunch break. Then when I was in line at Walmart, a young man behind me told me that my hair was gorgeous. Then when I thanked him for the complement after buying my stuff, he told me I'm gorgeous. And both of these are guys in their 30s! I give you all the credit! That's the reason I'm sending you this text because usually people don't approach me in public, so to be approached by two young guys in one day-it's got to be the hair! Thank you thank you thank you!hair is everything!! read more

I've been coming here for 2 years to see Cindy. I love my hair evertime. I would highly recommend her!

I have been coming here for years, Leslie is the best!! I live in San Diego but visit home often to get my hair done from her, she knows her stuff :) read more

After looking for a new salon and chatting with friends about their hair, I found Hair Connection and JULIE KOLODGE! After cutting and coloring, my hair has never looked better and I've never been as happy with my hair. Thank you, Julie! The address for the salon is correct but the map is wrong. The salon is located near the S/E corner of Foothill and Indian Hill. BTW, the salon is well appointed, the staff is friendly and I think Julie is wonderful! read more

I have to say the only recommendation I had for this salon came from this website. I was randomly looking for a salon close to me. I was impressed by the reviews and decided to give it a try. As luck would have it I was scheduled with Cindy. Wow! From the minute she saw me she was making mental notes of my present style. Combined with that and my explanation of what I wanted she truly 'understood' my hair and my requests, as you could tell in her feedback when I talked with her. The salon itself is great. You get your very own cubicle where the washing bowl is right there. You don't have to walk around from place to place with a towel on your head or other funny things for people to see. It was a very personal and a great experience all round. Thank you so much, Cindy! My cut is PERFECT!! read more

This is a great salon! Friendly staff, owner operated, great location. Julie is tops!

If you're looking for a great esthetician I highly recommend Essy at Hair Connection! I have been going to Essy for over 10 years, and she is awesome! I go to her regularly for waxing and threading and also the occasional micro-dermabrasion and facial. She is great! She's really friendly, really know's her stuff, and despite my crazy schedule is always able to get me in! And to top if off her prices are great! read more
