THE BEST & MOST TALENTED – Trish is without a doubt the best stylist I have ever had. Behind her chair she is remarkable. Her style and energy are unmatched. I've been going to her for over two years now and she still manages to amaze me. She even managed to make me look good when she shaved my head. Also, everyone I have referred to her has been taken care of just like family. If you ever book at the Upper Hand you have to go to Trish, she's the best!

The Upper Hand staff is very helpful and makes me feel welcomed very time I visit. Rachel, the owner, always greets me by name when she sees me in the shop. Cari is a fantastic colorist ( she can fix any color disaster created by less experienced hair stylists), her cuts are excellent and up to date, and her updos are chic and sexy. I look forward to my visits to the Upper Hand every time I go.

John Rubio is such a talented hair stylist! He's given me great ideas for new looks and am always so happy with hair. I also had my wedding party get their hair done at The Upper Hand. They did an amazing job and even helped set up a sitting area for our food and wine. The only bad thing is that The Upper Hand is pricey but it's not that much different from other high end salons. It's worth it!

Best hair stylist for blondes in Houston - blonde bombshell! – I moved to Houston 5 years ago from Atlanta, GA and went to many salons looking for a stylist who could do blonde highlights without looking too unnatural. After 3 years of looking, my search stopped with The Upper Hand. Mikey Daly is the best hair stylist that I have ever had. Not only does she make my hair look natural, but she also is a lot of fun and really cares about her clients. Also the owner Rachel remembered my name after my first visit to the salon and... read more

Jennifer is the greatest! – I really appreciate the personal attention and friendliness of Jennifer. Recently, I ran into another hair stylist whom I had known 10 years ago; she describes herself as an expert colorist and highly complimented Jennifer's great coloring tehcique and highlights.
