Michelle Vance works as a Houston hair stylist at The Upper Hand’s River Oak’s location. Michelle is amazing at all things hair, but specializes in blending and balayage.
Born and raised in Houston, Michelle graduated from Paul Mitchell in 2015 and went straight into the hair industry. She has worked in the industry for a total of three years, and has been a certified stylist for two and a half years. Michelle is a Goldwell Master Colorist as well as a trained KMS IQ Cutter. She loves to see a client happy and smiling after she finishes a haircut or style, citing this as “the greatest feeling in the world.”
Michelle loves the diversity of Houston and the amazing food scene, as the city is known nationwide for both. Her favorite restaurants are Osaka for sushi and Sullivan’s Steakhouse for…well, its namesake.
If Michelle could work on any celebrity’s hair, she would choose Taylor Swift because she’s “obsessed,” with her look, her personality, and “well, everything,” about her! She’d love the chance to meet Swift one day.
Outside of work, Michelle spends the bulk of her free time painting. She is an animal-lover and has a lot of pets, all of whom she enjoys taking care of. Her dream is to someday open up a No-Kill Shelter in Houston. Lately, Michelle has been getting into photography and practices by capturing photos of her friends. All-in-all, Michelle is an artistic soul.
Deep blue and short mullet- Etta comes in about twice a year for this makeover. The short mullet grows into a long one and they refresh the blues themselves as it fades. We love low-maintenance!
Lifted, protected, and colored with goldwellus

Feeling too solid or too bright, add dimension with a color melt and lowlights for dimension, and add layers for voluminous hair and shape! A beautiful cut by Kyanna!! Thank you Dana

Gray Blending👏
Personally thr hardest part of Blending natural gray hair is matching the ”pepper“.Its has to be done precisely to grow out seamlessly.

For Alexis’s latest cut we went back to butterfly framing but started it at your grown out bang, higher than the first time, which gave a more tiered, waterfall-like effect. Such a fun and flirty look for summer! Book with me at theupperhandriveroaks

Genius Wefts is a revolutionary new weft,as thinner and invisible as hand tied wefts. It uses the machine to tie up all the hair with the string first,and then the top hair is fixed with resin glue,put into the drying box,after drying,the excess hair at the top is cut off,so that the top hair is flush in a line,so the genius wefts doesn’t have return hair.

Used curly cutting techniques to taper down Kassi’s lovely curls into a more elongated shape so they will grow out without a lot of bulk at the top and she will have several months and several inches before she needs a cut again!
