The Upper Hand is a fabulous beauty salon-- from the wonderful service at the front desk, especially Elizabeth, to the staff that shampoos. Monique does a fabulous job with waxing and ****JOHN RUBIO**** is the best colorist, especially for BLONDES! Trust me, I have been with him for over 8 years and I have ALWAYS been complimented and approached by random people asking me where I got my hair cut and hi-lights. When I moved away for college and had to go to someone else--- I never got compliments and my hair always turned brassy colored and faded within 3-4 weeks max-- and did i mention it got totally fried? With JOHN, your hair will NOT fade, will NOT turn brassy, and will NOT look like you did it yourself with a box from Walgreens (unlike other salons, in Houston or other cities worldwide) I have gone salon shopping across many states and countries, and there's no place like the Upper Hand and there's no person like JOHN RUBIO. Likewise, he cuts men's hair fabulous too and fixed a horrible do that a girl at the Houstonian gave my boyfriend. Could you say lop-sided side burns and a jacked up bowel cut? Oh yeah, he got billed a $100 for his unprofessional hair cut while he was originally quoted 45$ at the Houstonian! John fixed it up the next day and now he looks better than ever-- he looks darn attractive and now only visits John. You want good hair, a good time, and to be noticed in a positive way-- try the Upper Hand River Oaks.
Pros: Attitude, Professionalism, Services
