My must-have hair stop... – I love the job Rachel does with the Upper Hand River Oaks. It is a fantastic salon and a true "must have" expereince (and I get my hair styled all over the world as I travel a good deal). I re-arrange my schedules and have been seeking out John for over 7 years as a "must see" prior to any type of social or business occoasion when I know I have to look great. Everytime I leave, I swear I get a "wow, your hair looks great!" So, thanks all and keep up the great work! Check-out John Rubio! And, also ... read more
Phillip is Amazing! – Phillip always does amazing work with my hair. He is very creative and can tell what style will look best on me. I always leave feeling extremely hot! I have never received so many compliments from friends and strangers on my hairstyles. The Upper Hand has a great atmosphere which adds to the great experience as well. I have and will continue to recommend The Upper Hand and specifically Phillip V!
John will coax your hair into something you will be delighted with – ?Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.? Hubert de Givenchy In John's case, he chooses what hair style will fit the woman's features and hair; then she goes out in the world and gets credit for having style and, according to Givenchy, self-knowledge. I have very curly/frizzy hair that seemed to only succeed when the water, humidity and temperature came together in some rare and indeterminable way. With John's cuts, I ha... read more
GO SEE CARRIE!! – Carrie is by far the best stylist and colorist in the Houston area! Every time I walk out of the salon, I feel like a new person. She is a true expert and makes your "salon" experience" very enjoyable. Thanks again,Carrie!
John Rubio...The Greatest Stylist Ever – I have been a client of John Rubio for approx. 4 years. At first my hair was in horrid condition, due to using harsh chemicals. Under John?s TLC my hair is so incredibly healthy now. Whereas I live in Beaumont, Texas (which is an hour and a half drive away), I do not hesitate to make the trip to get my highlights and haircut. You simply can?t imagine how great I always look when I leave or the excessive amount of compliments I receive. John does an amazing job on my style as well as m... read more
The Best Hair Stylist Ever!!!!!! – I absolutely love The Upper Hand and I love my hairstylist, John Rubio. He is a miracle worker ladies and gentlemen. Everytime I go to John I get compliments on my hair. The ambience and the atmosphere of this establishment is very nice. I live an hour and half away from Houston, yet I make the trek to go because no one does my hair like John. I highly recommend him. He's fantantastic.
Best Hair Stylist in Houston – I have been going to John Rubio for 5 years and he is absolutely fabulous. I always look absolutely gorgeous everytime I leave the Upper Hand. Everyone raves about my hair. John does such an excellent job. It is always so shiny, soft, silky and luxurious. I never thought it could be this way. My hair is naturally curly and I've always had a problem with frizziness since Houston is the humidity capital of the world. But no more. When I leave John, my hair never gets frizzy. It just looks stunnin... read more
