Everyone needs a haircut, and that’s not going to change. Bishops offers an ongoing need that ensures a reliable, recurring business model.
Founded in 2001, Bishops Cuts/Color has been disrupting the hair care industry by combining the best elements of a barbershop and hair salon. Our mission is to make everyone feel welcome and confident in their look by offering an inclusive and edgy atmosphere that breaks the mold of traditional barbershops. We provide more than just a haircut; we offer a unique experience at a reasonable price, even including a cold beer with your service.
In the $69 billion hair industry, Bishops Cuts/Color stands out by catering to everyone, regardless of age or gender, unlike traditional barbershops that primarily target the male demographic. Our services range from cuts and colors to shaves and styling, ensuring each guest receives personalized care tailored to their style and needs.
Bishops Cuts/Color is advancing the hair care industry through innovative services and a commitment to quality. With an easy-to-navigate a la carte menu and options for walk in-ins or online check-ins, we provide guest with complete control over their hair care journey.
Our franchise model is designed for success, offering high-quality services in modern retail spaces at fair prices, ensuring every individual leaves feeling their best.
