Ok so I first Tearfully have to say WOW! I never thought anyone like Toni existed in my 35 years of life. She transformed my hair into healthy fun curly hair. I was always one that didn't want to wear my hair curly because I never knew how to do it. I loved my previous stylist but wanted to check out someone that knew curly hair. And my prayers were Answered. Toni is a forever go to gurl. She was super nice and understanding. Give it a try at least once. You will be blown away. I have had my new cut for only a day and so many compliments some person that my hair was fake. Lol Thank you Toni and see you soon! read more

Let me preface this horrible experience by saying how difficult it was for me to actually report this incident, firstly because I was referred by someone very dear to me (I didn't want to make waves for her) and second, OUIDAD PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING. Toni D'Anna Owner/President at Curlylocks a Ouidad Certified Salon In Thousand Oaks, who claims to be a "Certified Ouidad Specialist," completely mislead, misrepresented Ouidad products, and flat lied about what she was applying to my hair. Basically the good ol' bait & switch move. I have always had extremely curly hair. I have tried the Brazilian Blowout and just every other possible remedy that's been put out to manage curly hair. My friend, who gave me the gift, had been raving about her new hair regimen with Ouidad products. I was excited to try it. I knew it was definitely something out of my price range, but she was kind enough to treat me, for my birthday. Long story short we were there an hour and a half, which included a consult and straightening treatment, which in the end totaled $425, plus tip she, was paid $500.00! I would have never, ever paid that, I was thankful. During the "consultation" she went on to explain to us how amazing the procedure and product was, and explained to both of us, that you only had to come back and have the product reapplied to your roots because the rest of your hair would stay straight. All the raving she did to us because she was bragging about this Ouidad product and how it was so amazing. Never did she let on that she was not applying a Ouidad product! (This I came to find out only after my second appointment because I was not satisfied with my first treatment.) Well about 2 1/2 weeks after my Overpriced "Ouidad" straightening treatment from Toni, my hair was fuzzy and curly again. So I called her back and complained about my hair, so she booked me her next available appointment, a month out and she said oh well, you'd have to come back and let me "hit it again." I immediately repeated what she told us at my first appointment about the reapplication etc. and that I thought for the amount of money that my friend had paid, I don't think that I should be charged again. She explained it was new to her but we will talk about it and work something out when I got there. When I arrived for my appointment, she was running 35 to 45 minutes late. My appointment was at 12 noon, I got in the chair about 12:45 or later. I let her know that I had to pick my son up from school at 2 PM in Moorpark. Even as I complained about how it didn't work, as she reapplied what I still thought was a "Ouidad" product, I noticed that she was hiding off in the back corner of her office, very unusual behavior. When she had done that on my first appointment, I didn't really think anything of it, I had never met her before, but my friend made a comment about how weird it was and I agreed. After she washed out the product, I explained that I had no time and I told her I had to be in Moorpark by two, so she gave the deep conditioning treatment, (which is a proprietary product by Ouidad) she gave it to me in a plastic cup so I could apply it at home. She re-iterated over and over and was very adamant that it is the Ouidad procedure, after the straightening, the deep conditioning cream must be applied so it can condition the hair deeply. When I finally looked at my hair that evening after I took conditioner off, I realized that my hair was completely fried. I contacted Toni; I asked her point blank did you use Ouidad products on my hair? Her first response was evasive and then finally confessed that no, it was not Ouidad products, but it's a secret mix that the CEO of Ouidad had concocted for the Ouidad professional stylists to use. I told her I wanted my money back and that I thought she owed my friend a refund as well. After multiple texts, she agreed to refund us our money. I have all the communication between the two of us, so its just that she doesn't want to give back our money. That is why I am here. Since then, she will not respond, reply to texts, or answer her phone - Nothing. It is now the principle. Her lies, misrepresentation, and deceitfulness will not be tolerated. She owes me $190.00 for my second appointment and $500.00 to my friend for my birthday present. I plan on making sure that the Ouidad representatives hear all about this and how she was slamming all of them for not inviting her to the show in Los Angeles, I could go on, but just want her to act like a business professional and like I did in "good Faith" when I paid her, to REFUND my money. I plan on filing my small claims paperwork in the next few days, I will update you when I have the results. So, please use caution if you plan on seeking hair professionalism at this salon. Thanks! "SETTLED"! read more

I finally went and saw Toni today after a year and a half!!! I was living in the bay area and waited to come back to get my haircut with her specifically because she is so awesome at what she does. She takes such good care of you and your hair and spends so much time working on her craft. I love that she doesn't rush and takes time to educate you on your hair and proper styling for your pattern. It's always a joy seeing her and chatting! read more

Curlylocks a Ouidad Certified Salon - Right after my cut with Toni. So in love and we took a lot off!!! Healthy, happy, curls. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

I have gone to Capella salon (twice), Deva Salon in Culver city AND New York, and every other salon in between, curly or otherwise, since I stopped chemically straightening my hair 3 years ago. Why have I gone to so many salons like a crazy person? Because I never like my hair so I am constantly seeking the perfect stylist. I've never left a review for any of them before, until now. Maybe they are all fine salons, but Toni is the first person to ever make me like my hair. Ever. I feel like I won the lottery. No more 80's prom, crunchy poodle, mid-western housewife wet look, frizzy triangle hair. Look at the photo I posted. She's a miracle worker and worth the drive to see her. read more

Curlylocks a Ouidad Certified Salon - Best. Curls. Ever. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Toni is a true gift to Curly hair in the Westlake area. She has given me consistently good cuts AND they tend to grow out well. Having a curly cut that grows without creating a shelf is a godsend. I am so grateful to have found Toni. Ever since my first cut with Toni nearly three years ago now, my hair is bouncier, less damaged, and much more consistent. I've never gotten more compliments on my hair than I have since I started seeing Toni. If you are a curly-haired human looking for a loving and thorough haircut, this is THE place to go!. read more

Toni is outstanding ! She made my crazy poofy frizzy hair look great. This is the first time in years that I let my hair down without a hairband or clip to tame it. Best of all, she listens and offers tailored advice on the look you want to achieve based on how much time/effort you can put forth. She is a professional, and I would highly recommend h to anyone with curly hair Update: I had my second visit with Toni today. To say that Toni is outstanding is an understatement - she is awesome. The first time I saw her, she told me that it would take a few sessions to get my hair shaped to the style I wanted. She absolutely delivered, my hair looks better than it ever has. I wish I met her years ago - I would have avoided so many odd cuts or chemical treatments to try and tame my hair. She's honest, has a fabulous personality, teaches and gives hair care tips --and obviously-- she styles amazing hair ! I can't thank her enough ! read more

Toni is awesome! I was super nervous about getting my curly locks cut and finally got the guts to give this a try. She looked at my hair and asked about what I put in it and then asked me what I was looking for in a cut. She then showed me styles and pointed out different things/asked what I liked. She was very patient and sweet and not pushy at all. We went with a conservative cut but she took all the split end and put in layers and carved my hair to bring out my curls. She then showed me how she was styling my hair. I felt like it was very reasonable and is something within my reach of also doing. She spent 2 and a half hours with me and I felt like it was well worth the price! She is seriously great and I would recommend her to any curly haired person! read more

Wanted to update my review as I've been going to Toni for my curly hair needs for over 2 years and couldn't be more pleased with her expertise! She knows curly hair! Thank you, Toni! read more

Toni does an absolutely amazing job of cutting and styling my very curly hair. She spends 2 hours cutting and styling my hair and leaves it perfect and without frizz. I have been to her 3 or 4 times and the cuts have been great every time. She even teaches you how to apply the product and style it yourself. Other places I've gone to I end up having to trim it up more at home because it never lays right. Toni makes sure that it does and I can usually go about 6 months between cuts. She's the best! read more

I had my first appointment with Toni yesterday and cannot say enough good things about how she literally transformed my hair. She spent so much timing talking with me about my goals and laid out a perfect plan for me to achieve them over the next year. My hair is badly damaged due to bleaching and lack of care - but just her first cut changed everything. She found my curl again which has been weighed down for years. I can't wait to see her again for my color. read more

I have had curly hair since the early 80s - when the only styling products were VO5 mousse and Hairnet hairspray. Needless to say, my hair was a disaster through junior high and high school. More hair products flooded the market, but nothing gave you those soft, separated curls... until... Toni and Ouidad. If you have curly hair, Toni is your holy grail. She takes everything into consideration before cutting - your hair type, your curl pattern, your face shape, your height, your size, EVERYTHING. And then she works her magic with her scissors. And she TEACHES you how to use the Ouidad products (truly a godsend for us curly girls and guys) to bring out your curl pattern so you can achieve the same results at home. Her cuts grow out like nobody's business and she is a fun person, to boot! You wear your hair every day so invest in a flattering cut and good products so you can feel amazing long after you leave Toni's salon. I can not recommend her enough! read more

All I can say is Toni is an expert when it comes to curly hair. I have been straightening/getting Brazilian blowouts for years and got tired of always damaging and hiding my curls. Toni knew exactly how to cut and style my hair. She also showed me how to re-create the look she did for me. I have never been so happy with a hair cut and seeing my hair dry into a style I actually like is amazing! I am so glad I found her and will definitely be going back :) read more

I've been to MANY high end salons over the past 15 years, in Seattle, NYC, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and Honolulu. I've been going to Ouidad salons since about 2005 and using their products even longer. I discovered Curlylocks in 2013. Toni is right up there with the very best when it comes to color. But unless I'm out of town, no one but Toni cuts the locks on my head. With Toni I never have to ask for a blowout because I leave her salon with full beautiful curls that earn compliments. If like me, you have curly hair and have suffered numerous poorly executed haircuts in your lifetime, if you leave salons telling them it's okay to leave it wet and that you'll style it at home, stop the madness and call Toni for an appointment. She is talented, fair and honest and I recommend her, without hesitation. read more

Toni is quite literally the only person I trust with my hair. She's cut + styled my curly hair for years...even on my wedding day! She's a master at what she does and I'm so glad she's opened her own place! She is the best! read more

I decided to wait two washes to see how the cut worked for me. In a word, AMAZING. I had gone to the flagship store for Ouidad in New York and didn't like it. So I felt the curl cut wasn't for me. Toni changed my mind! She spent a lot of time with me to teach me how to do my hair. For the first time in my life, I get my hair. Getting "The Curly Girl Method" book helped too! Thanks Toni! read more

Toni can do no wrong! She spends the first ten minutes of every appointment talking to me about my hair, what I want to do with it, and what to expect. She is a master at what she does. Watching her cut hair is half the fun. I live in Utah and only get my hair cut by her when I come home to visit family. Don't hesitate to go see her! She's the best! read more

I had wonderful hair experience for my baby fine limp curly hair . It going to a top quality hair spa at reasonable prices . Thank you read more

I was introduced to Toni as I've been complaining that no one really is able to cut curly hair. I sat down with her for the first time and she spent so much time consulting with me on what I didn't like and then did like. Then when she was drying my hair she showed me what to do and not do in styling and what products to use and how much to use etc. I've honestly never had any hair stylist explain this much to me and show me how to make my hair look good after I leave. My hair is also never been healthier, she took a bleached blonde head of hair and make it healthy and natural looking once again. Super knowledgeable about hair period. read more
