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.

24” extensions? Say less. My client wanted a bold money piece but needed to keep her natural hair mostly untouched while recovering from past blonding.

Extensions were the perfect solution—adding dimension without the extra lightening. Since she wanted to keep internal cutting to a minimum, we used two packs of Bellami Flex Wefts for the fullest blend.

•As always—prepped & protected with K18
•Lightened & toned with Goldwell
•Two packs of Bellami 24” Flex Weft extensions

Blended, bright, & effortless.

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!

Had so much fun with this pink-based look for MG! They get their color done twice a year so we always go big and bold and she lets me have so much fun with it!
I am going to be prioritizing projects with creative freedom like this one in the future.
