Uptown Shears

Lizeth Did really good work on my husband and I. My husband needed a cut as well as a beard trim. She took her time and was very precise and showed she cared and loved what she does. She did a small upper back/​neck rub which was nice. The lines came out great on all the work done. I had eyebrows that needed to be waxed but she offered threading. Since i have never done it I opted for it. It was precise and she took he time once again. Another small neck/​upper back rub which was definitely needed as my head was cocked back. But all around a great job! The cost was only $ 40 ($ 10 was threading). Thought it would be more. We tipped big! Go see Lizeth. Her front desk gal (didn’t get name) was very sweet too.

Lucia is phenomenal. I’m 57 years old and have gone through as many hair stylists. I’ve never been completely satisfied with any of them until I found Lucia. She listens to what you’re saying and your hair turns out even better than that. At least that was the case for me. I have wavy hair and have always worn it one length. I’m afraid of layers and what to do with them. I communicated this to her and she cut layers that not only blend well, but are easy to manage. She also colored my hair and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Thank you Lucia!!!

I purchased a Groupon for this place and first impression was I wasn’t sure if it was a full hairdressing salon on first entering (lots of handbags and jewelry for sale). Ended up getting a nice colour but was disappointed with the cut, not what I asked for, but may get better as it grows out a bit?!. I would definitely want to go back for colour but would seriously consider getting hair cut elsewhere :)

I found this business on Groupon and must say this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly and worked together as a team to provide fantastic customer service. I went in just to get a cut, style, and all over color and ended up enjoying their threading service as well. I felt like a new lady walking out and will certainly return in the future for all my beauty needs.

I never go to the same hair salon twice. I ALWAYS find something wrong with the final product and I’m never happy with my hair… until I came to Kristi. I was blown away by what an amazing job she did! The whole staff was very friendly and I was able to book my appointment online which made everything easier. I’ve been back twice and I would definitely recommend this salon.

I have been to Uptown Shears twice in the past year. The first time was a great experience with Chrissy. She did the exact cut I wanted and didn’t waste time. Unfortunately, it seems that management has changed hands and there are all new hairdressers now. I thought I would give them a try though. The haircut was just ok. I told the dresser that I like angles and layers throughout. Perhaps I wasn’t specific enough since she completely neglected the front layers. Then she proceeded to blowdry my hair for about 30 minutes. It takes 10 at home. After that mediocre cutting experience, I proceeded to the register. The girl probably didn’t have much experience with the register and I found out the hard way. She charged my credit card twice. The manager helped to assuage the situation by giving me a cash refund on the spot. It took an extra 25 minutes to get everything straightened out. Needless to say, I didn’t leave a tip. I don’t think I will be returning anytime soon.

I went for a haircut at Uptown Shears back in June and I was really happy with my experience.
Katy was friendly and professional. You can’t beat her prices. I got a simple cut, with no blow dry for $ 24.
I have been trying to grow out my hair for some time and it doesn’t help that most hair dressers cut off INCHES when you go in for a trim. Katy did NOT do this. She gave me a great straight cut. Just about a ½ inch off the tips, as I requested.
The only reason why I am giving 4 stars and not 5 is because every once in a while you get a cut that leaves you feeling like a superstar. This wasn’t one of those cuts, but I can’t blame Katy. I asked her for something basic and what I loved most was that she listened.
Very happy customer. Would go back and would recommend to friends.

I’m a working mom and never have/​take time for myself. After Christmas I had one of those ‘I have to have my hair cut today’ days. The problem is that I HATE the stress of trying a new salon and risking that new haircut with a new stylist. Lucky for me this was a no stress event. At the end of it I would have happily booked a standing monthly appointment! Katie clearly is focused on her clients. She doesn’t chop off 2″ more than you’d asked. She doesn’t gossip with other people the whole time. She respects an appointment time and doesn’t keep you waiting! She actually listened to me and cut my hair the boring way I’d picked, then she made a great recommendation and we cut off more.
I can’t explain it. Katie just has an eye for great haircuts and will make it happen without stressing you out.
BTW this is right at the corner of chimney rock and westheimer. Either come down chimney rock from 59 and turn right into the lot before the westheimer light or head down westheimer toward the galleria and turn into the lot immediately after the light at chimney rock.
