Tips for The Upper Hand Royal Oaks
May 14, 2013
Despite going there for years, they
cancelled on me last minute before my daughter had a major event on a Saturday afternoon. Nobody on the team was willing to help out when one of the designers had to leave for the day. Despite years of dedicated patronage, they treated us really badly.
I think the hair experts are good hear, but the management is very poor. Such a shame.

Fantastic Salon. had a wonderful experience and have beautiful hair! This place is worth the trip and the money! Sherry did a fantastic job! The staff is friendly and they all seem to get along really well... NO DRAMA in this salon! If you are looking for a great salon on the West Side of town, this would be it!

Best Salon in Houston. I have been going to the salon for many years and I have to say that Shiva is the best stylist I have ever had. My entire family goes to her and we all love her!

Best hair salon in west Houston area. I have been a regular client at the Upper Hand in Royal Oaks for over 3 years and am there at least twice a month. They have a very friendly staff and excellent hairstylists. Shiva is my stylist and she is extremely talented with my "fine" hair texture and very good with color ideas. My husband is also a regular client of Shiva's and our daughter, who lives in San Diego, visits her when in town. Lisa is very good at waxing and eyebrow shaping, also. We feel at home there and highly recommend the salon.
