The Upper Hand

Voted Houston's Best Hair Salons

Ali Robertson Houston Hair Stylist

Ali Robertson Houston Hair Stylist

Ali Robertson is one of the newer additions to The Upper Hand at Hyde Park, but she is definitely not new to hairdressing. This Michigan transplant has been following her dream of creating art through hair styling since 2010 and constantly seeks ways to improve her craft and remain inspired.

Ali specializes in Balayage, Extensions and Keratin Smoothing Treatments but is highly trained in all aspects of color, cutting and styling. Never afraid of a “hair challenge,” Ali absolutely loves working with her clients to make sure that she “hits it out of the park” every time. “When my clients leave feeling on top of the world, I am more motivated than ever!”

An avid animal lover and music enthusiast, Ali is constantly on the lookout for new pet friendly venues. Most importantly, Ali equates beauty with peace and happiness and looks forward to spreading beauty all throughout Houston.  Check out Ali’s Instagram and follow her work below.

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
