Review: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hannah for a cut and color as well an extension maintenance. I can confidently say she is a true artist! From the moment I walked into Upper Hand, I felt welcomed and at ease. Hannah’s expertise in hair extensions is unparalleled. She seamlessly blended them into my natural hair, giving me the luscious, full look I’ve always dreamed of.Hannah’s talents don’t stop there. She is equally phenomenal with cuts and color. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered valuable suggestions that complemented my style.Hannah’s attention to detail is unmatched. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re in search of someone who is passionate, skilled, and genuinely cares about making you look and feel your best, look no further. Hannah is the best!

Review: I am impatient and very picky when and it comes to my hair, most salon experiences drive me crazy. Madison is the only one I have ever enjoyed, because of the way she communicates and customizes the experience exactly how her client’s want. It is truly next level in the experience, in addition to the gorgeous final result! I’ve seen her artwork on myself and others, and you would think that she had been doing hair for over 25 years. Her color matching skills and listening to what her clients want while combining that with what she intuitively knows they need- is a rare skill. Madison did an absolutely phenomenal job! She is by far my favorite stylist in every way. I am very committed, I’ve been seeing her for over 12 years and have never found a replacement, nor do I want to! When you visit ask for MAY!

Review: Hannah worked miracles on my hair. Love my new look. Highly recommend 10 out of 10. I met one of Hannah‘s clients at target and just happened to complement her on her hair. She referred me to Hannah at upper hand River Oaks so I made an appointment and I am absolutely amazed what she was able to do with my hair. Now I travel from Kentucky at least four times a year to get my hair done with her.

Review: Love Ashley! She has always done an amazing job on my hair. She’s the only one I trust with my hair. I recently went in because I wanted hair extensions and since she knows my hair she knew exactly which ones would be best for me and which technique to use. She nailed it and she blended them so well… Love Love Love my hair every time.
