Bishops Barbershop

Often really busy, and the haircuts range from spot on to kinda rushed, but the vibe is really solid.

One of the more expensive places to get a haircut, and I feel that they have struggled to cut my curly hair. I get just as good of haircuts at Wal-​Mart. You do get free beer while waiting though.

I recently visited Wednesday at the Mississippi location, and she was FANTASTIC. Granted, I get a «MAN“S» haircut, but the service was complete with beer and hot-​towel. The best haircut I’ve received in years. Based on her own personal haircut and color, I’d be more than comfortable recommending her to my mother, sisters, and friends. She’s also a dream to converse with during the down-​time of your haircut.

Ok, so Bishops fucked up my boyfriend’s hair last time he went, after making him wait two hours. Yeah, they fucked up my haircut last time I went, in 2009. Should have known better, right?
But my regular stylist wasn’t available and I needed a quick bang trim before going out that night. Stopped at Bishops, was offered a beer (not after the night before, but thanks anyway!), and waited for about 20 minutes.
My stylist was a young dude who resembled a sassier Corey Haim. He asked what I wanted, I specified bang trim, and after a long moment he said, «Really? That’s all?» The girl in the chair next to me gave me a sympathetic look.
Now, I wasn’t as offended as you might think. My hair was half-​dried and limply flat-​ironed. I’m not the world’s best at maintaining this new haircut, or any haircut really. Honesty is worth something to me. So I figured Why not? I’m here already. I asked him to style it a bit more.
While looking at my bangs, he seemed puzzled by the way they were cut. «Do you like to get creative?», he asked. Well, sorta. My stylist does get a bit creative because of all the cow licks. My hair is thick, yet finely textured, and full of cow licks in awkward places. My mom made me get a perm once in fourth grade. It fell out of its own accord after two weeks.
Lesser stylists run from my hair screaming.
But I figured they could handle a simple bang trim, right?
So very, very wrong. I’m going to just post the picture so you can see.
Ladies and gents, DO NOT TRUST this establishment to do any more than sell you Schwarzkopf products for slightly cheaper than Fred Meyers. Actually, there may be a good reason not to trust that either, but it was a good suggestion for a better flat iron styling product and I appreciated it. Everything else was kinda terrible though.

I got a haircut from Kim and noticed after it was a little long in the back. I came in to get it corrected and it wasn’t weird or anything. Very nice.
Thanks for that!

I went in for a bang trim while running errands on Mississippi because my hairdresser was booked out for weeks.
I am giving this place 1 star because not only did my bangs come out super lopsided and completely hideous, the blonde short hair lady stabbed me in the eye with her scissors and didn’t even apologize. She nervously blurted out, «Oops, I almost took out your eye there!» Then she proceeded to charge me $ 9 for the worst bangs ever.
Nothing like walking out with a tiny scissor welt on my eyelid and then go home and fix the haircut that you just paid for.

Loved it — got a great haircut and a discount for checking in on Unilocal

I enjoyed the service and unique atmosphere. Plus I had a beer while I waited. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Listen to the 1 star reviews.
Wasted 45 minutes of my time as the woman at the counter lied about how long it would take to get a hair cut.
I dropped in on a Monday night around 7 and related the desk attendant what I was looking for and she was emphatic that the stylists could do that, and that it would be 15 minutes, 20 tops.
I relate that I’ll probably walk around some and she communicates that really it will probably be 15 minutes so I shouldn’t go far.
I make sure to get back at 7:15 sharp.
I wasn’t offered any of the beers other people write about while waiting, as the time dragged on.
Before long it was 7:30 PM and nothing.
Then it was 7:45 PM and still nothing.
The place wasn’t particularly busy. I went up to the counter and asked what was up and the woman told me «Just a few more minutes.»
I asked why she gave me such an inaccurate wait time and she clearly unapologetically didn’t give a F ()C|(, saying that that was the time it seemed like. I explained really, there was no harm in giving me a broad range (like 20 – 60 minutes), they are professionals, they should be able to make reasonable estimates and it is better to be too broad than under.
«It isn’t clear how long any given cut takes,» except I imagine they do have a reasonable estimate of how long the cuts being given do take and can estimate things accordingly.
I’m guessing that had they told me the more accurate wait time was 45 – 60 minutes they were worried I was going to run off.
The worst part is they emphatically don’t take reservations, which is fine, but then don’t lie about how long it is before your next available cut and waste what finally amounted to an hour of my time before I finally got fed up and left, without any apology for lying about the time.

Solid place. Been here several times now for haircut and /​or beard trim. Worked with several of their stylists, almost all of them are good, but my favorite is Ashley B. She’s patient, friendly and knows how to make my thick, balding, boring hair look cool. Plus, she does an incredible job on styling and trimming my beard.
My wife is happy with Ashley’s work.

Riley was awesome! Even though I was her last haircut of the day and she had big dinner plans she took her time and was thorough. She is also super fun to talk to and easy on the eyes. My haircut looks incredible. Walking out feeling like a million bucks. I’m definitely coming back. Big fan. Thanks Riley!

Went in for a hair cut a few days ago. I was given Ashley B as a hair dresser.
The best cut I’ve had. It was the best bang trim ever. And I’ve had bangs for over a decade. I’ll never go to anyone else as long as she still cuts hair in this town.
And bonus, Ruby Jewel is right next door!

Mississippi location. 7:50pm.
Waiting a half hour while two staff leave to take their break. I normally love Bishops, but this is ridiculous.

The staff at Bishops are always so friendly and ready to hand you a beer as you walk in. Having leukemia has sucked ass and when chemo decides to make my hair start falling out, I go see the ladies at Bishops for an awesome head shave. I’ve been twice so far and have been happy with the outcome both times. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a quality haircut in a place with a chill atmosphere and free beer!

Being a transplant can be rough. You have to start over and find all your new «spots». So today was the day I decided to venture out for a new cut/​barber spot. I walked down Mississippi and was in a coin flip between Modern Man and Bishops. I am not disappointed with my decision.
Walked-​in, the friendly counter staff got my name on the list, handed me a beer, and within 15 minutes, I was in the chair with Virginia asking what I’d like to do with my hair.
Virginia was on point! Detailing out what she was doing with my hair step-​by-​step, engaging in conversation, and before I knew it I was out the door with a great cut.
Great staff, quality cut, free beer.
Highly recommended!

Awesome place. Free beer. I had 2 and was offered another. The wait can be a bit on the weekends. Cheap for what I got, a buzz at $ 12. And worth it. The employees are awesome, the area is awesome the beer is awesome. Much recommended

Rylie did a fantastic job! My layers are balanced and lay great. They don’t feel top or bottom heavy. Also, no flack for bringing my own shampoo and conditioner. This girl has fragrance sensitivities! Thank you, Rylie!

I was told to bring my nine year old to bishops for a haircut first time n three years to cut his hair. The experience thus far is amazing well worth the wait, sit back kick back enjoy a drink … i am hooked on keeping bishops for our family. including myself. And loved my beer. thanks

my second time to bishops on Mississippi
Christa, was excellent. she asked questions beforehand and was great with the end results
she’s amazing with clippers
Thank you Christa
Tim

Nice hair trim. I had to wait one hour, but kept myself occupied at the ice cream shop next door.
they asked other patrons while they waited if they wanted a beer. They didn’t ask me. Although, when I got my name called, and into the chair, the barber, did ask me if I wanted a beer.
Used the Unilocal offer for a discount. I would return. Virginia did a great job.
No more tall boy cans, looks like they offer 12z cans. haha.
