Coming form a small town, I was very apprehensive about finding a place that could do my hair and nails, as I am "very" particular. There are so many salons in Houston to chose from, how do you chose? I walked into The Upper Hand and knew imediately I was in the right place. The staff is very courteous and professional and on the cutting edge with the latest styles, techniques, and products. Bryan does my hair and he is simply the best! Reiah sowa mt nails and I have never seen anyone who takes so much pride in her work and it shows. I would highly recommend anyone to this salon.
Pros: Friendly, professional staff always on the cutting edge
Cons: None
