First off, they are apparently a long-standing salon but recently opened up with a new, sleek modern look. When I called to make the appointment, they were quick to answer and it was very easy to schedule. I went for a basic women's haircut which was $75. Lilian was friendly and clearly cared about doing a great job, listening to how I was wanting the hair to be cut. Going from longer hair to a shoulder length cut along with a shampoo and dry all took just under an hour. I am definitely interested in coming back! They're located on the second floor of a plaza with lots of parking, although it can be busy.

Unfortunately, the communication and…read moreoverall experience were so frustrating that I ultimately decided I wasn't comfortable booking a treatment with a business that couldn't clearly confirm the specific dates and times I was requesting. UPDATE: 8/09/2026 -- In response to the owner's comment: Your response makes it clear that you did not fully understand my original review, which unfortunately reflects the same communication issue I experienced while trying to book an appointment. I went back and forth attempting to schedule for weeks and tried to book on three separate occasions. When I finally called and someone answered, there was a significant communication barrier, and the call ultimately ended with the person hanging up on me. You're correct that I've never received a service at your salon--but that is precisely the point of my review. I repeatedly tried to become a customer and was unable to successfully book an appointment. My review is about the customer service and booking experience I personally received. If your salon is so heavily booked that you are unable to accommodate new clients, I completely understand. However, potential clients should simply be told that upfront rather than spending weeks attempting to schedule an appointment that is never confirmed. Professionalism begins before a customer ever walks through the door, and unfortunately, my experience trying to become a client was enough for me to decide to take my business elsewhere.

Nonetheless, this place still gets the job done right. I walked in on a Sunday around 3:45 PM and, despite seeing about 3-4 people ahead of me, I was seated by 4:35 PM - not a bad wait at all! I opted for the wash, cut, and blowout, which came out to a total of $35. I was finished by 5:05 PM, so the service was quick and efficient. (You can call ahead and make an appointment as well). They also let you check the front and back of the hair with a mirror to make sure you like it. Open on Saturdays and Sunday - so perfect for those who are busy/don't have time on the weekdays and need something quick. A heads up: they only accept cash or Zelle, so come prepared. Street parking is available. Overall, If you want a simple, straightforward, budget-friendly haircut without the fancy extras, this salon is a solid choice.

I am new to Houston and found the Upper Hand Salon by their claim to being voted the best salon in Houston on their website. My first experience was fantastic! Michelle assisted me in correcting a color issue and she did a fantastic job! The poor service came when I booked my second appointment to see Michelle. She was unavailable so it took 2 weeks for an appointment with her which I was willing to wait because she was that good. When I showed for my appointment today, Michelle was not in the salon and was working at a wedding. The receptionist told me she called to confirm the appointment the day before which was correct but the message I received said they were confirming an appointment with Journey at 11:00. I could not understand the name of the company in the message and did not know who Journey was so I called the number 4 times to find out what the message was referring to and did not get an answer. I was told that they moved all of Michelle's appointments to Journey for the day and my report time was 11:00. I did not receive a call to notify me of this change of stylist or appointment time which was incredibly unprofessional. The receptionist did offer to schedule another appointment with Michelle so I could specifically see her. I declined because I thought that was what I did 2 weeks ago. How can this be best practice or voted best salon with this type of business practices? read more

After having two bad experiences in a row I thought that I should write a review so other people don't end up with such an ugly hair cut... I decided to go short and called the salon a few days earlier to make my appointment. As I have had a bad experience before with Sheryl I decided to tell the front desk first that I was going to change my hair style and asked for their recommendation for a stylist experienced with short hair cut. The recepcionist recommended Caroline... She was very kind to me I can't complain about her profissionalism at all, but after 2 seconds of starting my hair curt I could sense that she was not feeling confident on what she was doing... making a long story short after finishing it I noticed the hair was totally uneven (and it wasn't meant to be that way) ... I asked her to fix one side, she tried but never managed to do so. When I told her that this wasn't exactly what I was looking for and asked her to make it shorter, she suggested it would be a good idea for me to go back home and if in the next day I was still not sure about the hairstyle then I should return and she would fix it for me... and so I went home. However, in the next day I was so upset on how it looked that I decided to go somewhere else to get it fixed. And I'm glad I did it! Now I have a very stylish short haircut but unfortunately had to get it done somewhere else .... read more

If you are looking for a hair stylist who is very knowledgeable about and skilled with coloring hair, go see Ashlee at this salon. She is a hairstylist who takes her work very seriously, and so you will likely have to have a consultation with her before she even works on your hair. I have been seeing Ashlee for maybe two years now, and we have run through a series of colors and styles, all of which were unique and excellently done. Ashlee also saved my hair when I had my first-ever hair disaster, during which I tried bleaching a stubborn green dye out of my hair. We thought we might have to cut off a lot of my hair off at one point, but thanks to Ashlee's knowledge and patience, no hair had to be cut; now, my hair is now extremely healthy for someone who has had much dye and bleaching. With regard to the salon's atmosphere, they typically play pretty good music, use great products (Goldwell), and all of the staff is friendly. Highly recommend this salon, especially Ashlee! read more

I was surprised by some of the negative reviews below as I have been going to the Upper Hand for years and have had consistently good service. I moved away from the Westchase area yet continue to make the drive out there for my appointments. The gals at the front desk are always helpful and friendly; both when I get there and when scheduling my upcoming appointments. Brenda has been doing my mani and pedi's for years. She is clean, meticulous and friendly. She makes sure the entire experience is relaxing and pampering. Lisa, "the Eyebrow Queen," is the only person I let get close to my brows and do my waxing. She took her time with my first consultation and walked me through every step of reshaping my eyebrows. Her work is concise, neat and her room is sanitary. Her facials are another example of her amazing work. Overall, the salon is bright and sanitary with a positive and welcoming vibe. I have recommended it to friends and family, and will continue to do so. read more

This is a long review but you really need to read it to the end. Ashlee is hands down the most talented color stylist you will find!! I literally travel all the way from San Antonio just to have her work on my hair. After a horrible experience with someone that damaged my beautiful long hair at a San Antonio salon I was so scared to ever dye my hair again. I really love being cool blonde even though my hair is dark brown and Ashlee helped me get my hair back healthy and beautiful again but also the light color I love. She keeps it real and will never do anything to harm your hair. Some stylist just care about their paycheck and are willing to damage your hair just to get business. Not this girl. She's a true talent! I literally get so many compliments even when my hair grows out and my roots are showing. She does such an amazing job! I highly recommend this salon not only do I always receive quality on my hair I'm always treated so nicely by all of the staff. read more

Just moved to Houston after having the same stylist in Boston for 15 years...to say I was nervous about someone new highlighting and cutting my hair is an understatement. But I got so incredibly lucky when I selected Jamie at The Upper Hand Royal Oaks (from her outstanding reviews and examples of her work on Instagram @jamiereelsstylist). She did such an awesome exceptional amazing job that I can honestly say my hair has never been as even-toned, bright, healthy and just so beautiful as it is now that Jamie is my girl. If you're a blonde, Jamie is the absolute best.

I was desperate with an ongoing "hair emergency" as I couldn't figure out what was WRONG with my hair! It had become unmanageable and I had no idea why. I found Upper Hand Salon, Royal Oaks with great reviews during a Yelp search. When I explained to the receptionist my mystery, she recommended an appointment with Andrew Pham, the resident hair cutting specialist at the salon. After a few seconds during my first appointment, Andrew knew what my problem was: my hair was different lengths all over having been cut for months in a very erratic way. I became a believer in Andrew's skills that day and the hour drive has been worth it. I try to go to experts for everything else in my life so I'm thrilled over a year later to trust Andrew for my perfect cut. read more

Andrew is super talented! He always cuts and styles my hair with such detail and perfection. He takes the time to understand what you want and he executes beautifully.

Sometimes we assume that if you cut hair you know what you are doing, but we all know that is not the case. Andrew is the definition of PRO and knows hair, period. I even took my 13 year old boy (who is super picky) to him and he LOVED Andrew and his new cut. Do yourself a favor and book an appt. with him. Hurry though, he books up! read more

Dall Hair Salon, conveniently located just 10 minutes from me--and how blown away I was from the very first phone call to the final result. From the moment Nikki answered the phone, I felt instantly welcomed. Her energy is warm, sweet, and genuinely uplifting. She was able to find me a spot later that same day with Gaby (lucky!), and when I mentioned I could come in sooner if there was a cancellation... lo and behold, I got the call. I grabbed my things and rushed over even more excited. As if that wasn't enough, I opened the door and was greeted by Bear. Nikki and Justin's adorable dog (the owners). OMG, you guys... those eyes instantly melted me. I wanted to pet him the entire time. The salon itself is a total gem- clean, beautifully designed, and spacious with a cozy boutique feel. They carry an impressive selection of professional and luxury hair products, from Oribe to Goldwell to Kenra, so you're covered no matter your hair needs. There's also handicap access and plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Once I sat in the chair and met Gaby, I immediately felt like a longtime client. That kind of connection makes all the difference and gives you total confidence that you'll leave happy and I absolutely did. My results went beyond expectations: my hair felt healthy, incredibly soft, and so shiny. A quick note: not everyone gets this lucky, so they do recommend booking in advance since appointments fill up fast (I already booked my next one). Prices are very reasonable, too. I can't wait to go back for my root touch-up. You guys are the best :) Go pay them a visit, and don't forget to say hi to "Bear"!You won't be disappointed.

I should have gone to Mario, he was nice enough not to charge me but Rosie cut my hair horribly and…read moretried to tell me it's what I asked for. No. I came to get my hair cut because it was thinning due to me being in the hospital for 3 months and losing 30 lbs in a month. I didn't need a bad haircut on top of this. If she apologized instead of trying to gaslight me I'd been less upset; and she was about to make me pay until the Mario came by. I left crying.

Showed up at 3:40 and suddenly no one could find my appointment and I was told they were fully booked and couldn't take me. When I walked in, it was not warm and welcoming at all. Completely disorganized. My appointment was for highlights, color, and blow dry. If you can't honor appointments, especially after confirming them by phone, don't have online booking. Wasted my time driving out here. Won't be back.

I was able to get a same day appointment fast. My hair stylist Maryam was professional and did a…read moregreat job.

I'd come in for my first haircut in months with a few ideas for what I wanted, but I wasn't sure. I…read moreknew I wanted to help improve my curls and keep some length (at the time I got it cut, it was past my shoulders). I had read online that Marina was a curl expert, so I booked an appointment with her. The experience was fantastic---It's safe to say she is definitely an expert! Our discussion was pleasant and informative, and she was easily able to answer all my questions. She helped me decide on a style I'm very happy with and recommended some great products that have helped me maintain the look at home. I'll definitely be coming back! TLDR - if you're looking for a great overall haircut experience, especially you've got/want curly hair, I highly recommend Salon Vive and Marina!

He chopped it all up and thinned it out to 1/2 the thickness .....thinking I would be back to have him color it again in a few weeks. I'm devastated! unethical practices to make it easier and faster for him next time the color was to be done. I will not be back ......also we were the only ones in the spa.

I met Maddie by pure chance, and she got me in the very next day. What she did felt like magic transforming my hair from orange to the most beautiful, ashy tone. Since then, we've been on an incredible five-year hair journey together. Her talent with color and extensions is unmatched it honestly deserves to be studied. Not only did she bring my hair back to life, but she also took the time to educate me on how to properly care for it myself. Beyond her skill, Maddie is an amazing person. She's a true perfectionist and won't let you leave her chair unless she knows she's given you her absolute best. I even flew her out for my wedding because I trust no one else with my hair and at this point, she's so much more than my stylist. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!! She also does my wife's hair!

The cut has so much movement and texture while still feeling polished and flattering from every angle. What really stood out was how well she listened and translated the inspiration into something that actually works for my face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. It feels modern, cool, low-maintenance, and somehow makes me feel more like myself. I've genuinely never left a salon this excited about my hair. The salon itself was also welcoming, stylish, and relaxing. You can tell there's real talent here. Safe to say I found my forever stylist -- already excited for my next appointment

Wow. Such a cooperative and talented group of professionals…read more JO is probably the most experienced/talented colorist in Houston and she continues to improve her skills--she is sublime.
