The Upper Hand Salon: Hyde Park

It had been a few months since I had gotten my hair “done” with color. I came to Shelby desperate because the last time I had it done elsewhere it was horrible- my hair got completely damaged and dried and the color tone did not work out. So I came to Shelby and she was a Miracle worker!!! She got my hair back shiny, smooth and such a great color for me!! She was also super friendly and so easy to connect with! Ive been back since then for toning and partial highlights and I feel confident that my hair is in excellent hands with Shelby! Ive gotten soooo many compliments on my color and my shine- so im very excited that my hair is back on its way to healthy!

My girl Fryda is AMAZING! She’s been my stylist for a little over a year now and I plan on keeping her forever. My most recent style was a complete transformation - She cut more than 6inches off and colored my hair a beautiful solid brunette. During the process she was very honest about making such a big change and supported me along the way! Fryda also loves to keep up on her education, so you know she is going to give you the freshest hair style. I just love that she is easy to talk to, an amazing artist, and she truly wants to customize your experience.Services: Haircut

I will never go to another salon or stylist, Shelby is an absolute master at coloring blondes! Before I found Shelby I was always underwhelmed or hated how my hair turned out from other stylists. She totally understands what you want every time you see her and tells you what’s realistic to do for your hair. She is worth every penny, thank you for your artistry Shelby!

I LOVE this salon! Shelby is my go to girl she is super talented and has a great demeanor she has a great hand! I also love the atmosphere it’s super chill and I always love drinking my coffee there, they also have great salon products that sell. Would definitely recommend if you want amazing work done and great service.

I truly recommend this salon! I went in for a balayage and my hair stylist is named Fryda, she caters to blonde and brunettes which I love since there’s not as much hairstylists that do brunettes in the Houston area, she’s also wonderful to have a conversation with specially when you’re going to be on the chair for a couple of hours, and most of all, she did great with my hair!!! the place is also wonderful, great people, and it’s such cozy salon!

Elle has been doing my color, cutting, treatments, etc for the last few years and there is no one else I trust with my hair more than her! I came to Elle after years of color damage and severe hair breakage. It has been a process, but through her extensive knowledge and practical application she strategically cut, colored, and treated my hair so that I was able to return to a color I absolutely love while maintaining the highest level of hair health. Thank you so much Elle for listening and understanding my hair wants and needs, and then delivering better and faster than I could have hoped for!Services: Keratin treatments

I love coming to the upper hand for the last year/ year and a half! I have always had Shelby as my stylist and she is amazing! She and I have a great vision for my hair and she continues to impress me every time I leave the salon! She is very easy to talk to and always make me feel comfortable in the chair. Thanks for all you do!!!

I absolutely love my stylist America at the Upper Hand. She does an amazing job with my hair. I like changing colors often and she is always able to achieve what I wanted. Her advice has always been helpful and helps to keep my hair healthy and looking beautiful.Services: Hairstyling

Katie from the Upper Hand is truly amazing! I’ve always gone to top of the line hair salons, but once I moved from Chicago, I researched many salons to find the right one. The Upper Hand sparked my interest, it’s cute & I love the modern feel, but once I met Katie it was a done deal. Her knowledge & attention to detail completely exceeded my expectations and made me a life time client! Highly recommended

I’ve gone to see Lissa here since 2020. She’s so talented and amazing! She has done haircuts for me, highlights, going red, doing money pieces, and much more. I definitely recommend her, and I know all of the staff there are talented as well! Plus, it’s a very clean and relaxing environment to unwind while getting your hair done. I included a photo of my recent red hair! 10/10 recommend coming here Services: Haircut
