Simply could not be more thrilled... – I currently live in Los Angeles, and have been living there for over year. While there are hundreds respectable boutiques and ritzy salons in LA, I scheduled a special trip to Houston...just to get my hair done by Trish at The Upper Hand. All 3 women in my family (who all who have VERY different tastes) choose Trish to do their hair: My sister, who has a more "funky", experimental style. My mom, who prefers a style that is easy to manage, fun. and age appropriate. And me, ultra conserva... read more
The upperhand – I thought someone was going to tell me what style they thought would look best for my face shape etc. I do not think the haircut I got was worth 80.00.
Best Salon Ever – I have always gone to Aveda Salons because I loved the way they trained their staff. A couple of the people from my Aveda Salon migrated over to the Upper Hand and I didn't know what to expect. When I walked in, I was so impressed with the atmosphere; WAY better than Aveda, if that's possible. The owner is very nice. You MUST get your eyebrows done by Lisa; she has rightfully earned the nickname "The eyebrow Queen" in Houston. She is enchanting, and does the most beautiful eyebrows without hurting you.

Best Salon Ever – I am new to Houston and was looking for a salon. I am very picky when it comes to my hair and was considering going back to the State where I lived before to avoid changing hair salons. That would have been a total mistake. I am glad I found reviews for The Upper Hand and gave it a try. I went there yesterday and I have to say I have never been more pleased about the results. I got highlights, lowlights and a hair cut. The stylist really listened to me and was extremely careful with my delicate hair. My hai... read more
Jennifer Ridings - HAIR ARTIST!!!! – Jennifer Ridings is the BEST Hair Dresser ever! She is new to The Upper Hand, but if they're smart, they'll keep her around forever! I went in to the salon on my lunch break looking like a HOT MESS to get a hair cut... in one hour she had me walking out like Miss America! She cut my hair EXACTLY how I wanted and when I went back to work my co-workers couldn't believe the transformation! If you need a new look or to freshen up an old look, schedule an appointment with Jennifer ~ I promise ... read more
Mikey's the best!! – I went to Mikey for the first time to get my light brown hair highlighted. I wanted a natural, well-blended color that looked like I had been in the sun. Lucky for me, she had the perfect colors in mind even though I didn't describe it well. I absolutely love my color, and I don't ever think that. Plus, my hair even feels healthier than it did before walking in to the upper hand. Thank you for my great new hair. I definitely found my colorist!
Penny is the best! – I switched stylists and started going to Penny several months ago. I had been trying to get my hair back in shape for many months after a neglectful stylist left my highlights on too long under the dryer and ruined my hair. My hair was over bleached, dry, brittle and drab. The first thing that Penny recommended was the Keratin treatment. In one sitting my hair went from straw to silky and shiny! The treatment lasts about 4 months and is so worth the money! Next Penny recommended softer, less harsh blonde... read more
the upper hand river oaks – I look forward to going to this salon!! I usually dread getting my hair done, but Penny and the other stylists make it a fabulous experience.. My hair has never been more Healthy and Beautiful.. Thank you Upper hand
jennifer's awsome – I just had my first appointment with Jennifer for highlights and a haircut. A friend at work recommended her. She was awsome, she listened to what I wanted and made suggestions, we agreed on the end result and then she delivered. I scheduled my next appointment before leaving. She was great, up to date stylish etc., and my hair looks amazing. The whole place is really nice.
