Pass for Nails – First time getting my nails done here. The appointment time got messed up and when I arrived, on time, the manicurist (not even the one I booked with) informed me she was just about to walk out the door, (way to make me feel welcome). I felt rushed the whole time. I got the aromatherapy french manicure, real nails. What was so aromatherapy about it I don't know. When she put me under the nail dryer she paractically had her foot out the door. My white has bubbles in it and the edges stop before the edge of th... read more

Trish is the Rock Star at this salon! – If you ever wanted your hair done by the best, the "Rock Star" of the hair world, your search has ended in Houston Texas with Trish. Fabulous personality, great looks and awesome talent, this femme fatale has it all. I did not know what to expect, being a recent member of the middle aged "invisible" group, but I am invisible no more thanks to Trish. Honest, straight shooting, talented and KIND! Worth every cent.

Did someone say TRISH? YES THEY DID! – I read a lot of spectacular things about this Trish Lecourias, and decided to see what the raves were about. She has an edginess about her and style that I have never seen (at lease not here in the states). Trish gave me a great style and block coloring that was specialized for my cut. When I was processing Casey Curry from channel 13 was sitting in her chair and I over heard Casey telling her that she gets tons of emails praising here new do!!! You have to get in to see this ball of en... read more

Three words: AMBER! AMBER! AMBER! – I have tried A LOT of salons in town - from the most expensive to the walk-in - and i never really found anyone that I loooooved until now. Amber at The Upper Hand is awesome! I looove my hair everytime and I don't even have to give very much instruction. She hears what i say then makes it better and she's fun to talk to so you don't get bored! The salon is nice but not stuffy. It feels young and all the stylist are good-looking and have nice hair - which let's face it, is a good sign for ... read more

Best hairstylist in town! – I have been going to Josephine for a couple years since she was at Bella Rinova, which was a very stuffy enviroment, but now that she is at the upper hand, I absolutely love it. She always gives me the best color and cuts I LOVE HER AND I LOVE HER NEW SALON! If you're looking for a hip enviroment along with a great stylist you should give her a try. I highly recommend her.

Trish-Best hair cut in 4 years – My husband and I moved down here from up state New York: looked on the Bumble and Bumble website and found The UPPER Hand. Then found the website on citysearch to get the number and found reviews on TRISH. Now, this girl is talented. She gave me a better cut then what I got at the Bumble University (and I'd been going to instructors there) instructors that taught her)). She is hip and has her own style going on. She is going to be famous-WATCH!!!!!!!!
