Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'curling' (relating to making hair curl) plus 'iron' (a heated handheld appliance) yields a heated tool for curling hair. This noun-noun construction is a regular, cross-linguistically common labelling pattern (an iron for curling), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Curling iron is named for how it works: you heat an iron, a hot metal rod, and wrap hair around it to make curls, so it means 'a tool for curling hair'.
