I have gotten some great haircuts from this Bishop's and I have also had a few haircuts from this place that were so uneven, damaging, and/or outrageous that other hair salons tisked over my head in dismay. I've even come back into Bishops and had stylists *there* tisk over their coworkers' butchery in dismay!\r

On the plus side, you can walk in for a cut and there are some gifted hair stylists there. It's not very expensive, and you can bring your boyfriend since they do as much men as women there. If you get one of the good ones, you go home looking 20 pounds lighter and 5 years younger until the cut grows out again.\r

However, if you happen to get one of the hung over stylists who are more intent on gossiping with the other employees and unendingly bitching about their life, you may walk out of there with a shocking new low in bad haircuts. And it's tough because even if you happen to find a good stylist on duty, AND remember their name for the next time you come in, they are very likely working one of the other locations or not on shift, and then you're right back at the roulette wheel again with a good shot at getting the stylist who forgot to take their methadone that morning.\r

Many times, I have braved the risk of someone there dry razoring my hair to smithereens for the chance at another great youthful hairstyle. Sometimes, it has really *not* paid off... to the point that I finally made the effort to go somewhere else and find a regular stylist I could build a rapport with and also hold accountable if they hacked off a visible chunk of my hair totally by mistake as happened another time at this Bishops.\r
\r
IN SHORT: It's a high stakes gamble. \r

Pros: edgy cuts, casual atmosphere
Cons: some less desirable employees
