Terrible Experience
by Melll
I just spent a small fortune ($250) on a cut and color by Trish and her colorist Jess. I brought in several photos of the color that I wanted and discussed them with Trish before she began. She explained that she would go darker, but that within a week my hair would lighten up to the color that I wanted. This sounded strange to me but she assured me to trust her. It has now been one week and the color is still much too dark and looks nothing like the photos I brought in. I have called the salon everyday now for three days in a row and left a message explaining this to the receptionist. NO ONE has called! The rudeness and lack of customer service is shameful. Do not make the same mistake I did, avoid this salon.
- Cons: Will not fix their mistakes

Awesome Salon !
by BebeL
I just moved back from Dallas. I was able to find this salon. I was looking for a new hairdresser. I am Blonde and very picky when it comes to highlight's. Sarah's first time doing my hair did a perfect job. She also gets very close to roots. She listened to my request & my color turned out just like I wanted. I would recommend Sarah. The front desk personnel are great too! They were able to work me in on short notice. I give this salon 5 star easy!
- Pros: Sarah is very educated in color.
- Cons: None

TERRIBLE!!!!
by graceleelee
I always read the google reviews before trying out a new place. The reviews for this place were pretty good, so I decided to go for a haircut. BIG MISTAKE! I don't know who wrote the reviews, or if they were in their right minds, because they TOTALLY BOTCHED MY HAIR!!!! All I asked for was a trim, but what I ended up getting was a a weird haircut that falls above my shoulders. I specifically asked for a TINY TRIM because of my upcoming honeymoon (I wanted to keep my hair long for it). The lady who cut my hair also didn't have the proper training to even keep it symmetrical, and gave me choppy bangs with ragged edges.I love styling my own hair every morning and have been doing so since I was a teenager. However, I've been wearing ponytails since my visit with Upper Hand, because I just can't wear my hair down. It's impossible to style.
I even went back for a correction, and while they managed to find me someone (not the same person who messed up my hair the first time), it didn't fix the problem. My friends and co- workers are in utter shock of what Upper Hand has done to me!!! I have never written a review for anything before, but I am so furious and don't want anyone to go through what I did.
Save yourself the time and money, go somewhere else!!!!
p.s. I've never written any reviews before, so I was surprised to see that my google review I wrote last night is no longer there this morning. I'm re-writing it on city search.
- Pros: Salon has nice interior
- Cons: Incompetent hairdresser
