Awesome Stylist – I have semi curly hair, but it is so thick! When I would get my hair done, it would look good when I left, but then when I fixed it myself, it would go crazy. When Sarah colored, cut and styled my hair, i left feeling gorgeous and could recreate the style on my own the next day! Sarah does a great job understanding what you want, and then producing it! I recommend her to anyone that compliments me on my hair. She will never let you look bad :)
Hands Down, Best Hair Salon in Houston...Let Alone Anywhere! – After extensive researching after a botched hair job at one of the top salons in Houston (Albert Luis), I found Upper Hand. I had looked through all the comments on this website and decided to get my hair done with Trish. It was the best decision I have ever made! I felt like I knew Jessica (her assistant) and Trish for years! Trish is the ONLY hair stylist that has ever gotten hair color RIGHT! I naturally have dark hair, and every single person before her has a... read more
Not just for the ladies... – When you hear the name of a business and the words "Salon" or "Day Spa" attached to it, most people think it's going to be stuffy and full of women without a single man in sight. The Upper Hand is not one of these places. Rachel (the manager) and her staff keep this salon upbeat and current in style, technique, and atmosphere. Both men and women can feel comfortable here no matter why they are there. The stylists, however, are the real reason why you should plan to visit The Upper Hand. I could r... read more
Paula Parker is hands down the BEST HAIRSTYLIST IN HOUSTON – Paula gives me the best haircut and color that I have ever gotten... I live in LA and my whole family as well as my best friend fly to Houston to get Paula to do our hair- and believe me- we have tried every big name in LA and there is no one like her!!! She is AMAZING with cuts and color and is perfection with hilites... She understands face shape and gives you a haircut that compliments your face, hair and body- not just the trend of the week... What is really co... read more
Best Hair Cut and Color in Houston! Paula Parker is not only a great stylist for cut but also the best for color! I have red tones in my hair and she is the only one who can give me that beautiful accent without it turning brassy. Her cuts are the best too! She is a perfectionist and takes such pride in her work. It shows in every detail! She is also a lovely person and a pleasure to be with!
Mikey is my go-to gal!!! – I recently moved back to Houston and discovered that my favorite salon had closed. With a little cyber-stalking, I tracked down my stylist at The Upper Hand River Oaks. I'm so glad I did, because Mikey is THE best. Not only does she always deliver a great hair cut - and a perfect blowout - she is infinitely cheerful and makes the salon a fun place to visit. She also does great men's styles; my husband has never looked better! Another great reason to go to the Upper Hand is Carrie -- a wizard with... read more
Worlds Best Stylist!!!! – Aside from being the most handsome and personable stylist that I have ever seen , Phillip Valt is AMAZING at what he does... He listened to exactly what I wanted, and more importingly what I didn't want... He made me feel like a beauty queen while I was in the salon, and I left looking as if I were one... I cannot say enough about this talented man... He gave me a FABULOUS haircut and blow-out, not to mention the hi-lites that all my girlfriends are jealous of... So induldge yourself and make an app... read more
Trish Lecourias- Amazing Hair Extensions – I could laud all day about this salon's professionalism and expertise. Honestly, I don't know where to begin, so I'll start with my most recent hair-do! Trish Lecourias did my hair extensions one week ago and I simply could not be happier with them. Granted, hair extensions are quite the fiscal investment; however, it was the best money that I have ever spent! My hair is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, thick, easy to manage, and it looks astonishingly natural. Trish had an hour and a half con... read more
Disastrous Hair Cut – This is my first time on any review site but I feel compelled to share my experience so no one goes through this again! After reading rave reviews on Citysearch I signed up for a Haircut & Color from Carrie at River Oaks Upper Hand and ended up with the worst haircut I have ever received! She seemed really uncomfortable with changing hairstyle and ended up reducing my longer than shoulder hair to a short haiorcut that lacked shape, did not help my wavy hair show its natural curl and ended up with Big mi... read more
