Bishops barbershop

Great vibe, cool staff. Everyone always friendly and attentive. Great customer service. I’d highly recommend Daysha. She rocks and consistently gives one of the best mens’ cuts in PDX.

Awful. Seriously awful. Just keep walking. Really terrible service.

Barbers took my 7 and ten year old sons as walk ins and did a great job on them. This is despite the seven year old being scared of having his hair cut so being on a permanent squirm and having curly African American hair which can be challenging to some stylists. Fabulous job done by very patient stylists.

First time customer at this local. Rob did an amazing job with my hair and took his time. He made it a fun, friendly atmosphere while he was doing my hair. I have to say it was a wonderful experience and I definitely would come back again.

I took my 20-​something daughter into Bishops in Multnomah Village for a trim. The heavy metal was absolutely blasting — my ears were ringing when we left. She was charged $ 30 for an inch off of her long hair. Yes, technically she has long hair and the sign does say $ 30. However she was in the seat for a very short time, 10 minutes TOPS. The stylist brushed out her naturally curly hair, which left it frizzy and bad looking. We were both a bit traumatized — her by the frizzy brush-​out and me by the auditory overload. Overall a very sub-​standard experience.
I wrote the manager, explained the situation, and asked for a refund. She replied promptly, offering that my daughter’s hair could be fixed for free (at the same salon), but that Bishops does not offer refunds. I replied and explained that my daughter was only home for the holidays and is no longer in Portland. I suggested that a reasonable compromise would be a partial refund. The manager did not respond to this suggestion.
This Bishops franchise would do well to tailor its environment a little more to the neighborhood, and step up the customer service aspect.
Bottom line: Mediocre haircut, lack of knowledge about curly hair, indifferent staff, overpriced, screaming loud music.

I tried Bishops again for my son, thinking that perhaps this attractive and warm location would be a hit. His hair was long and he really wanted a cut, our time was limited. The «long shag» we looked at a picture of and agreed on with the confident sounding stylist became a mushroom shaped bowl cut. I fixed it at home myself the best I could.

Favorite place to get my hair cut. All the bishops are great but the service and the office here are the best. Free beer while you wait, and ice never had to wait more than about 20 mins on a weekend. Amanda did a great job on my short cut and was super friendly.

Thank You so much to Kyle for taking your time and getting my hard to cut hair done correctly and patiently. It really means a lot for someone to spend some quality time on a nice haircut. Kyle is great with long hair and is very precise. Love my new haircut!

Hit up Kyle for a great cut! It definitely helps that he is a cool guy, but I am always impressed with his cuts and how detail oriented he is about every request you have to make sure you end up with exactly what you are looking for.

Solid experience each time I come in. Taking one star off just because $ 26 is fine for a men’s haircut (maybe a little on the top end), but for a kids haircut is pretty steep. At that price they should do something special for the kids, like have tv for them to watch or something.

One of the worst haircuts i have ever gotten. This place is an assembly line for shitty service.

This is the letter I sent to Bishops corporate office describing my experience this morning. If Bishops is unwilling to cut children’s hair I wish I had known ahead of time and avoided this awful experience…
This morning I had a terrible experience in your Multnomah Village location. Actually, it was probably the worst experience I have ever had in any place of business. I left there horribly upset.
My son and I were at the door at 8:57, hoping to get in right when the store opened to get his hair cut. Since he is not quite four years old, waiting is a challenge. At 9:00 your employee unlocked the door and put out the placard on the street without saying hello and then went back inside and let the door shut on us. That I was willing to overlook and opened the door for my son to enter. He was a little reluctant. Your employee said, «Does he not want a haircut? Is he going to cry? Because I am just not up to that this morning.» I was stunned and stopped in my tracks. I literally stood there thinking, «Is this really happening?» After processing for a moment I said, «We won’t be coming back.» She said «Okay! Sounds good!» as we walked back out. I will refrain from describing your employee with the words I believe are appropriate, but wanted you to know how offensive she was.
I guess I want to know if you are an establishment that cuts hair for the whole family, kids included. If you do cut children’s hair, you might want to send a memo to the Multnomah Village location.
And do you believe in being welcoming and polite to your customers? I mean, maybe the attitude your employee put forth is tolerated to discourage certain clientele, but if not, then I think you again need to communicate that to your staff in Multnomah Village.
There are four of us in our household. We were excited when your business came to our neighborhood. Now, not only have you lost the business of the four of us, but you can be sure I will be talking to my friends and neighbors about our experience.

Usually quick to get in and I have a few stylists there that I think do a great job. I request the people that have cut my hair before and sometimes I get a bit of a not so thrilled look when I do that as I guess maybe someone is free. But hey it’s easier for me when they already know me a bit and I don’t mind waiting a few minutes. This is where I go though and hell I like them.

Love Bishop’s. I’ve been going to Bishop’s ever since moving to Portland, previously trekking to the east side. But I was ecstatic to learn they were opening up a location right in the Village and it’s always a great experience.

Excellent cuts for grown ups and kids. We love Gio and Saffron! Come in, have a complimentary beer and enjoy! This place is a great addition to the village for sure!

Sucks! Came there on a Monday afternoon for my son to get his haircut. They said 15 minutes and it’s been 45 minutes and still waiting! These people move like snails…
Will go to other Bishops better experiences!

I only had a little time to spare so I thought I would try and get a quick cut in. I called first and they said they could get me in still with only an hour left before
closing. I arrived, was greeted, offered a cold beer and it was exactly when I sat down that I was called. The stylist (I’ll fill his name is later) was awesome, calm, collected and pleasant to be around.
I’ll be back.

I had a great experience here today. I just got a haircut but will be back for my color next month. The place was clean and the staff was really friendly. It wasn’t too loud, cluttered or stuffed with people like the other locations.

Seriously amazing. I get my haircut maybe twice a year so I’m not really good at ‘placing my order’. This is a place that has common sense when cutting someone’s hair. ‘Oh he has long shaggy hair I’m guessing he doesn’t want a straight clean cut’. She even told me that she was making sure it wasn’t clean lines and kept it a great shaggy look all while being shorter. I also usually time haircuts since I feel they need a week to look good but man I’m so impressed. I love how it looks right out the door. Definitely will go again. Oh also beer. Beer is a great add on too.

I’ve been coming to Bishops for years (third time to this new location).
There is a sign when you walk that boldly states the prices: $ 12 Buzz, $ 24 Short cut, $ 28 Long cut, etc… Volunteering to cut your hair shouldn’t result in a bad review simply because of a misunderstood price, that is written in the wall, in English, with letters roughly 7 – 8 inches tall and 3 – 4 inches wide.
The staff here is great and their customer services is superb. The location is perfect for walk-​in clients but a little difficult to find parking (hence the 4 stars out of 5). Great open floor plan, beautiful art and they’ll serve you a beer (for those of age) while you wait. You may also get a free shampoo hair wash once haircut is complete.
If it’s busy, you can sign-​in and walk around beautiful Multnomah Village (Starbucks next door, along with several small shops and eateries).
I would highly recommend Bishops to those looking for a stylish haircut from any of Bishop’s professional hairstylist; however, if you plan a painful ponytail cut for a good cause, please plan accordingly.
Please note: I do not work for Bishops.
