Love Love LOVE Laura Harris at Upper Hand River Oaks – I first went to Laura about 3 years ago when I was recommended to her old salon by a friend. I got an appointment with Laura by chance since I didn't know any of the stylists and I'm so happy that I did. She was so patient and helpful when I had no idea what I wanted done with my hair. All I knew when I went into the salon was that I wanted my hair lighter. I was pretty nervous because I have very curly hair and I've had the worst experience with getting my hair done, bu... read more
Disasterous highlights – Went to Ashley because she was recommended by my good friend. Asked for no red in my blonde highlights and she used toner during shampoo...toner is not what I expected. The color is totally not what I wanted. Too blonde and solid looking. The lowlights do not look like my hair color and are on the red side. I would not recommend or use this salon again. Now I have dark roots showing and look like I color my hair instead of the natural look I was used to. Do not go here.
A Cut Above the Rest - Laura and the Upper Hand Salon – Everyone is entitled to their opinions, however, sometimes I believe they can be somewhat misguided. Being afforded the liberty and freedom of speech, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the Upper Hand Salon (River Oaks), in Houston, Texas. I specifically would like to express my thanks and gratitude to Laura Harris who has been my stylist for over 18 years. I was among her clientele when she was just 22 years old. She has done everything f... read more
Laura Harris - A Great Stylist – I love Laura and her work. She has been my stylist for 5 years and has always done a super job. I always get a perfect cut and a nice conversation. I won't let anyone else touch my hair.
Thank you Laura for 10 years of great hair! – I have been going to Laura Harris for 10 years and I love her!! I have had nothing but great hair over the years and even commute from Katy just to see her! I get compliments on my hair the day I get it cut and the week BEFORE I get it cut again. Many of my friends have started to go to her as well. She cuts it in a way that it always grows out well and she is a master colorist. She is always "in the know" with the current trends. She is very honest with me about what will look g... read more
Consistently Great! – I've been going to Laura for 7 years - she consistently cuts my hair to the perfect length/style. Now that she is at the Upper Hand, she is combining her great talents with a great salon! I've recommended her to countless people over the years and I'm confident recommending her now. Give it a shot!
Two Thumbs up for Laura and The Upper Hand – Laura's been styling my hair for over 6 years now. And i am always pleased with my new "do" when I leave the salon. I've had cut, color, highlights & lowlights - been very happy with all. She will truthfully tell you what will look good on you and knows the latest trends. Before Laura, I bounced around from several salons/stylists unhappy with each. After sitting in her chair once, I knew I had found my new hair stylist. Where ever Laura goes in the Houston area I will follow. Goo... read more
Very Overpriced – We are new in town and my wife booked a haircut which cost her $70. It lasted about an hour and included a shampoo, flat iron, and cut. I was in need of a haircut myself so made an appointment with a stylist Kristin. Granted I have not been there before, but I have short asian hair that normally is an in and out sort of cut. My wash took about 5 minutes, and my stylist used clippers to do the sides and back of my hair, and used shears quickly on the top of my head. Total time cutting maybe 8-9 minutes. Tota... read more
Worse Salon for Hair cut & Highlights – Lauren (Laura) cut and highlighted my hair. I saw a lady in the salon and loved her haircut & color. I told her so and that woman was nice enough to show her hair to Lauren. Actually, I wanted my hair a little longer. Lauren said she would cut my hair so it would touch my shoulders. I am so disappointed in my color she did plus she cut my hair very short including my bangs, which I told her my hair is curly to be very careful cutting my bangs. I told her they were too short and she sai... read more
