keeps getting better!! 8/4/2009

I have been going to Bishops on and off for what feels like forever. I have to say in the past there had been some disappointment, but lately- I have gotten some of the best haircuts I've had in my life! It really feels like Bishops has stepped it up as far as training or who they are hiring. I have been just LOVING my hair! A+++ Bishops! Great value. Pros: great stylists, atmosphere, value Cons: zilch more

great place for disappointment and free beer! 5/5/2009

This place cloaks its mediocre services in loud music and cheap beer. Hoorray for pdx's unoriginal barbershop. Every time I get the bad idea to get my haircut here and stray from my usual place i get instead of a satisfying experience disgruntled employees, an average cut, and a free buzz from a few beers. Then comes the onset of buyers remorse when i realize the free beer isn't worth the bad cut. Thank god for the gimmicks-they'll get you every time. From a customers stand point it seems like they have a high turnover. I go in at least once or twice a year to give it a shot and always see new people working. Must explain why they need the gimmicks....? Pros: beer Cons: haircuts more

At least in this new city i found the place to get my hairs did. Thanks Jessica you were great! Pros: the fun up beat atmosphere. Cons: parking more

super great spot 2/9/2009

Really cool joint. I stumbled upon this place looking for jackpot records - (p.s. they moved) - and walked in and signed my name and got a beer and a sweet haircut. It was pretty cheap too. Pros: good location, good prices more

Worth the drive 2/1/2009

I drive in from Vancouver to get my hair done at Bishops in NW. I love those girls. They are fun and funny. The music is good, although the wait might be a little long. My hair cut might not be complicated but I dont go there just for the cuts. I have gone to those so called high class salons. I have never been more satisified just paying the 25 bucks and having a real conversations with REAL people. more

Thanks For Rockin the hair 2/1/2009

I love this Bishops. Emily is one of the best hairdressers around. Veronica is not to sabby either. Both have done my color and both have totally ROCKED IT! I used to pay way more for much less. Never again! THANKS FOR ROCKIN! Pros: EMILY/VERONICA! Cons: THAT I CANT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT more

I thought I would give it a try. 1/29/2009

I heard there is free beer, good music, a hip staff, and little wait times. I can say all is true except for the wait times. I went to the Hawthorne bishops on a Saturday and there was a hour and half wait. The wait was worth it and after my beer I didnt mind all that much. If you are sick of bad hair cuts or paying 50 bucks for so called good cuts , then go to Bishops its worth the wait!!!! next time I go it will be during the week. I hear the wait times are far less. Thanks Katie you know how to cut them hairs.... :) That guy at the front desk is pretty funny too. I have never felt more welcome . Pros: quality and style Cons: wait time more

right on! 1/28/2009

I always go to Ken's for pizza and pass by Bishops. I decided with my wife to go there just for kicks. What a great place. Its not the kinda place I would normally hang out but the girls and the energy in there was really fun. I appreciated the low cost hair cut. Veronica, who cut my hair, was really professional and sweet. She caught me a bit off guard with her bright orange hair, but she was so nice that in a moment I didnt even notice she looked a bit outrageous. She really explained the whole process and how Bishops is an ala carte business. I was having so much fun that I had her give me a shampoo and a shave too. more

Sweet Hair/good people 1/28/2009

I live in the neighborhood and go to my neighborhood Bishops and have been for about 3 years. Everytime I go in I am greeted with a smile and a beer. The hair cuts are good. I have seen Beth, Asma, Tiffany and Danny. They have all been great. If you are looking for a good place to go for a cheap hair cut, I recommend Bishops. If you are looking for a salon go there. This place is more like hanging with friends... Pros: Great people more

Thanks Bishops 1/27/2009

I went to a salon to get my hair dyed platnum. Well I left with sunflower yellow hair. I went on a friends recommendation to bishops on 21st. After a good consutation with Tracy she understood exactly what I wanted. She and I talked the whole time. She explained what she was doing and put me at ease. I was really afraid that I was going to have my hair melted off (yes, its happened before). She did the BEST JOB! Pros: Tracy! good music, beer! more

Ive read the reviews. I don't know what these people are talking about. I love Bishops. I see Beth. She is great! Friendly and I always get just what I want. A good cut and good style. I have been visiting Bishops in NW for years now. I love the stylists they have working there. They always will to go the extra mile. Even stand in line for me next door at Ken's to get me some coffee. My husband and I always go to Bishops. Pros: Fun, good music, great people Cons: long wait, but worth it! more

Worst haircuts in town 12/28/2008

My last two visits were disastrous - sloppy and unfinished work, unpleasant barbers. It looks like this place hires friends or family and trains them for ten minutes before giving them scissors. Pros: close to home Cons: terrible haircut; unpleasant, frustrated hairdressers more

Too much hype for a whole lot of badness 12/7/2008

My friend raved about Bishops and how great it is, and I do love her hair, so I decided to give it a try. It was the day before my 18th birthday. I wanted a cut and dye, but they refused to dye my hair without parental consent (even though I was going to be 18 in less than 24 hours)... So I was forced to get my mom to drop everything she was doing and come down to the salon and sign a waiver. I understand why they had to do this, but it started giving me bad vibes. I should have walked out and never looked back. Pros: I didn't have to see my nasty roots and the music was good Cons: pretty much everything else more

Charmed by it all. 9/10/2008

After many random hair cuts in portland at various shops I finally decided to try out bishops. I didn't want to have to wait for my hair to get done I needed a freshen up very much so. In the past I have had hairdressers chop off all my hair when I've told them I am growing it out. I have had hairdressers dye my hair the color I specifically asked them not to, so at this point I'm jaded and nervous. more

Doesn't play nice. 7/18/2008

The way they treat their employees is reason enough not to go there. Cons: Awful treatment of employees more

Get the right stylist 7/10/2008

I have had many great experiences here and one not. My bad experience was when i was having my hair dyed by the assistant manager, it seemed like she had no experience and she didn't leave the dye in long enough so you could still see my roots. My favorite two stylists that work there are Osma and Beth. more

Not happy 6/14/2008

My experience with Bishop's and anyone I've ever talked to that has been there hasn't been satisfactory. Some of their people are experienced but it seems like too many of them aren't. It's hit-or-miss. You may get a good hair cut one time, but then not the next and the stylist's schedules seem too different to keep up with them. You can't count on getting a good hair cut every time so I just don't go there anymore. Pros: Nice place Cons: Never know what you'll end up with more

go somewhere else 5/19/2008

I went to this salon, and the girl that cut my hair seemed not to have enough experience and I saw the stylist next to me and she didnt look with much experience either I didnt truely loved my hair cut and my husband either plus there were some parts of my hair cut that were a somewhat chopped instead of looking like a smothly cut. IT wasnt terrible, but It wasnt professional either. I need to go somewhere else to get it done profesionally. I would have probably get something better in a cheaper place or tell your mom to do it. I payed $25 dls.+ $5 for the blowdry which I didnt asked.Its not expensive, but I was expecting to get something better. I wouldnt recomend this place, I dont know if someone at the salon would be an expert or if they have a standard on hireing their stylists, or if this place is more for men hair cut, but I didnt get a very nice cut. Also I didnt like all the pornografic photos posted all over the salon. more

Very happy! 4/21/2008

Living downtown I decided to give my local Bishops a try. I went into the location in SW. The wait was a little long (I went in around 3pm on a monday) but it was well worth it. I saw Kylie I believe her name was. She listened to what I wanted and was very easy to talk to. She's funny too, so that put me at ease. Everyone at the shop was friendly, and I'm really happy with my haircut. I will be going back! Pros: hot stylists Cons: the wait more
