I went to Bishops to have my beard trimmed. I had my dog Murphy with me, but they said they were pet friendly and it was okay to have him with me. When they say pet friendly they mean PET FRIENDLY! The staff has played with him while I was getting my beard trimmed. While some places say pet fit and tolerate pets this place actually welcomed him. . Thank you Bishops!! Sky was my barber/stylist and did a great job on my beard. She was thorough, asked questions and made sure it was exactly how I wanted it. If I had hair I would definitely go to her a haircut, but God is my barber now. Thank you Sky. read more

If you want to permanently damage your hair and be charged too tier price for it then be my guest and visit Bishops in Newcastle. But if you truly care about receiving a professional hair color search for a different salon and avoid this place. I had the worst experience of my life at this salon. -1000000/10 the hair dressers are inexperienced and the salons owner will not refund your money. I tried to speak to the owner but she was always on vacation according to the employees and I never got a call from her like promised. My hair was healthy before this salon damaged it down to the scalp and destroyed my natural curl pattern. Dont let their smiling faces fool you they have no idea what they are doing in there. They are literally training on your hair. Day 1. I walked in and was helped by Sky who glanced at my inspo picture and said there was no problem. She could do it. She started foiling my hair and was taking so long that she had to get another girl to assist her. It was over processed in some places and had about 2" of roots showing! Please look at my inspo picture there was a very gradual fade from roots to balayage. Sky should not be trusted with color. Sky then showed me and I was underwhelmed especially because she cut about 6" of healthy hair which I did not ask her to do. I had asked her to trim the ends. That was it. I love my long hair but I ended up with shoulder length. I paid $350 plus tip which you have to pay prior to them working on your hair. Absurd. When the hair was revealed to me I almost cried. It was nothing like my inspo picture. Some parts were orange and others were bright yellow. Day 2. The following day I returned to tell them that after closer inspection my roots were showing about 2-3" in some places!!!! Like what?! Why wouldn't she color my hair from the roots out?! I've had balayage before and this was anything but a balayage. This doesn't deserve to be called balayage. The original hair dresser Sky spoke to me and I started crying cause I told her that wasn't what I asked for. She told me she was super busy and that I should have a different hair dresser in the shop fix it. The new hair dresser had only been doing color for 3 months. She admitted this to me while I was already being worked on. She couldn't believe how orange and yellow my hair was so she took pictures of it and told me I had hot roots. She wasn't sure how she was going to fix it. She foiled my entire head again and by now my scalp was hurting and itching from all the chemicals. Long story short she ruined my hair even further by turning it silver/purple. She should have said she didn't know how to do a color correction before I sat down. By the end of the day I got up and had the frizziest hair that looked LAVENDER. I went home sobbing. My self esteem was shattered and was now $400 poorer. Day 3. No refunds I returned the following day to tell them this was the worst experience and that I needed to speak with the manager. She refused to speak to me and I was not issued a refund. Please use this as a cautionary tale. Do not visit this salon ever. I will not be returning or recommending anyone that I care about. Save your money! They also fail to check ID when serving clients alcohol. Big no no. read more

Again, no heat or curl products used, I have a before, and after photo and then had to go home to re-hydrate my hair because it became really frizzy and poofy. Vibes were there but hair knowledge was not. read more

Haleigh really listened to what I wanted. I have very fine hair that had grown out and needed cut and color. She took all the time necessary to really work with my hair and did a great job! read more

I'm really surprised to hear the negative reviews of this salon. I've actually had Sky as my stylist for years and she's done fantastic cuts and light copper color on my naturally dark brown hair. I originally showed her an inspiration photo and she mixed the formula exactly right and always cut my hair according to what would work with my natural, slightly curly hair texture. I think the salon is pricier than other salons but I don't mind because I've gone to several salons around Bellevue, with mixed results. I love Sky's personality and always have a wonderful time talking with her. read more

Haircut first time visit Kaylee listened to what I wanted. Short thick hair, and did a great job. My only concern was loud music when I called to make appmt. She knew how to cut hair, very friendly So I am going for my 2nd haircut with her next week. read more

Edit: They called back and have offered a free service with the manager to make up for it. They were apologetic and did a great job. Been here multiple times and have always had good service and haircuts for me and my two boys. Today I had an appointment I booked at the end of my last visit. I was there a few minutes early and waited about 10 minutes. There was no one there and the posted hiurs had them opening an hour after my appointment time which i received both an email and text confirmation for. I called and requested a call back and haven't received one. I also emailed through Bishops website. read more

Sarah is great! More than satisfied with the cut and the overall experience - Will be back

My colorist was Not experienced. Left hair dry. Wouldn't come back. Friendly but not an expert.

My 6th grader got her hair cut by Nathan this afternoon. He is very talented, personable, and thorough. My daughter was thrilled to get such a cool line design done. We have been searching for places that could do this on the Eastside and we are so glad we finally found Nathan! He did such a great job on the snowflake design. The shopping center and salon itself are very clean. read more

So I called prior to making my appointment to get a recommendations as to whether Bishop's had a stylist on staff with the needed skills to do what I had in mind. I get complicated asymmetrical cuts with lots of texture, as well as a side shave/undercut on one side (to which I wanted to incorporate some line art). I also have naturally wavy hair, so needed someone experienced with all of these aspects. I've had difficulty finding stylists who can do all these things- I realize what I'm asking for is complex, and its not for just anyone. Which is why I always call & ask if there is someone with this level of expertise when looking for a new stylist. The stylist started with the side shave/undercut & line art first. There were some adjustments to the line of the side shave/undercut to help it fall/style better. All started well- there was lots of discussion and the side shave/undercut and line art design turned out very well and I was super excited about the changes we made up to that point. All looked great! I had a picture for what I wanted to do for the long section of my hair (the half of my head that wasn't shaved/undercut). I had indicated I'd been growing out my hair, and needed to trim this section (its very layered, with lots of different lengths, but the longest length was at my shoulders)- I provided a picture of what I was working towards....but it wasn't until later I realized she never asked me more in depth questions about this part of the cut. I was chatting with one of the other stylists (who was observing the cut) for a moment, and before I even realized, cutting on the long section had begun without any further discussion (and I was turned away from mirror, so didn't immediately realize as I was distracted by the conversation). I didn't feel overly concerned- the first portion of the cut went so well, and after all I'd shown a very clear picture of what I wanted and I expected she would check in with questions (just like every other stylist I've ever worked with). As my hair was still fairly damp and not fully styled when I departed, I couldn't tell how bad the damage was until I was part way home. Once I saw how it was drying, I cried and cried and CRIED. The final cut looked NOTHING like the picture I'd shared or what I'd started with. I even washed it and attempted to restyle. The longest layers in my desired cut were shoulder length, and the cut I received had chin length layers at the longest. Not sure what went wrong in understanding what was needed. Perhaps it was too much chatting with fellow stylists during my cut. Or a lack of experience/understanding for cutting wavy/curly hair- which has to be cut much LONGER as the recoil shortens the hair further as it dries. The layers also do not lay well - they are blunt and now its even more difficult to style. It looks like a bob- which is NOT at all what I was going for (and definitely nothing like the picture I'd shared- it had highly varied layers starting at shoulder length, and then shorter as it moved towards crown). The stylist literally removed at least 3-4 inches of hair (hair which I'd been growing out for 5+ months to get to where I wanted!) And in fact, longest layer may have actually shortened above my chin (which would be 6+ inches removed). I've never had a stylist remove so much length without confirmation or checking in. I had indicated a TRIM (which to me, does not mean removing massive length)! I went in with a cut that I loved that was a bit overgrown and needed a trim/shape up (and adding some line art to the undercut/side shave) and left with a totally butchered mane. I literally feel UGLY and honestly don't even want to see myself in the mirror now. Normally, I call my stylist and come back when I have an issue that needs adjustment. But there's no real adjustment that can fix this. You simply can't remedy over-cutting at this level- the only option that could possibly bring it right is adding back length with extensions. Which would mean shelling out 100's of additional dollars and finding yet another stylist who offers this service. Reality is I'll mostly likely just suffer with a ugly cut (and hide under lots of hats) for the next 4-6+ months or more while I wait for the awfulness to grow out. :( Maybe Bishop's is ok if you just need a run-of-the-mill, basic clipper or scissor cut without any major bells/whistles. But I'd steer clear for anything complicated, or curly/wavy hair. Will not be returning. read more

Horrible experience find a better place then this.. unless your desperate for a trim. read more

Been here a few times because it's around the Newcastle area, but unfortunately I've had more awkward experiences than good ones here. Just recently, one of the hair stylists Bri was reckless with how she cut my hair. She constantly turned my chair and was rough with the clippers. The short cut was fine, but she nicked me twice, one on the back of my neck and the other by my ear. Not to mention the last time I was here, I tried the shave and got nicked 4 times. The bigger issue though is that after being so rough, Bri didn't offer the complimentary rinse and hot towel finish. This happened to me once previously (maybe accidentally, not sure), but this time it was plain to see that she hoped I forgot about it just to get me out quicker. That's why I can't recommend Bishops when there's better and cheaper places in Factoria and elsewhere. read more

Less talk more cut. The quality of the haircut was poor. Vibe is cool if it had been cheaper, it would've probably gotten four stars.

SCAMMMM!!! Beware of this place!! Don't go to this place if you don't want to get over charged than the price they quote!! Their website says that it is 250$ for 2 and half hours of Keratin Treatment!! I called them up to enquire about the treatment, price and the process! I spoke to them twice on the phone!! I got an appointment on the same day! I went in for the appointment and the front desk lady got the disclaimer form that says 330+ $ and she was saying that generally it's 250 for 2 hours, but if we go beyond 2 hours, then we will charge you 330+ $!! I was like WHAT?? You didn't tell me about this when I was on the call with you TWICE and when you took my credit card information!! And the website says 2 and half hours not 2 hours!! She was lying about the time so she could charge me $330+ She said she will check with her manager and let me know!! After talking to her manager, she said that she cannot continue with the treatment if I don't agree to pay 330+$ , God knows how much that + would be!! I told her I am not comfortable with signing and left that place!! Will never go there again!! Will tell all my friends and family to avoid this place by all means!! Such a waste of my time!! read more

Not even an average haircut for a very premium price. The guy cutting my hair smelled like cigarette which made it hard to sit there even for a short period of time. My haircut was done in less than 10 minutes with lots of details left out. I'll never go back! read more

Bishops is a very disrespectful place with very poor customer service. I have never in my life been treated so badly and I am still wondering how such people are allowed to operate. We had a great experience with an Asian elderly service provider and went in for my son next. He was moving in to college next day and wanted to get a good haircut for him. I booked with Tony and we were about 10 mins late due to traffic and parking. Tony was busy with another customer and took another 5 mins to finish. After he was done the first thing he said looking at us was that we are late and he cannot serve us. Directly refused service. No hello nothing and this is when he was already servicing another customer until 6pm (our time was 545pm) I requested if he can take an exception and he started getting irritated that he has someone coming in now. I was surprised to see him as he is white and the person I wanted to book was the other (super nice Asian). He outrightly refused that there has been any Asian in their place for 3 years. When I mentioned we got a really good cut done 3 weeks before he admitted there is someone very new and is in only on weekends. All this while he was adopting a very rude and irritated demeanour. So I started walking out of the place and he kept saying we are late. I turned back to say he didn't have to be so rude about it and then he just shooed us out of the place and shut the door on our face!! I as really shocked by this experience and my kids were with me at the time. It was such a bad experience I don't know how someone so angry and rude is employed unless the establishment itself has this mindset of pushing customers out of their establishment. I am a resident of the area and just disappointed we have chosen to allow such people in our community I will NEVER EVER set foot in this place again. I believe in basic human etiquette and definitely do not share these values with Bishops. Pathetic. read more

First time here, def coming back. Jordan brought my pixie cut back to life and I feel rejuvenated! And even better than when I came in - not just for the cut but for the conversation and easy going-ness. Love love love! read more

Great haircut, I've been worried about getting a bad haircut before school so I decided to give Bishops a try and they take lots of time doing hair and they will not mess up your hair. Nathan was my barber he's really good. read more

This place has a miserable customer service attitude. Rude, pricey and bad skill. The worst part is that the front desk girls would rather play their I- pad than talking to clients friendly. We had made a reservation at 5:30 but 5 minutes late after driving 30 plus minutes and 10 minutes looking for parking. The front desk girls rudely told us that they will not serve us due to the 5 minute- missing time. What a joke. read more

I was treating my wife to a haircut as she hasn't had one in a very long time and thoroughly researched this salon on google and it had a lot of positive reviews. Unfortunately, my wife was devastated when she returned home showing me that her hair which used to be down to her waist was now cut to just below her ears when she only and specifically asked for about 4-5 inches off MAX. She had over 9 inches taken off and now isn't even able to put up her hair. She asked for her money back the next day and the Regional Manager sent a message asking if my wife would come back in for them to fix it. There is no fixing when all the hair was chopped off. The stylist also cut the hair dry which made the end result even worse as it was uneven everywhere. The styist has no place cutting hair. My wife thoroughly explained how much she wanted to be taken off and what the hairstyle looked like that she wanted and she even showed the stylist numerous photos to show she would understand but she just didn't understand. DO NOT GO HERE, unless you want to be charged money to have exactly what you don't ask for to happen. She asked for her money back and was denied. read more

I Just Had my 6 th time Hair cut in Bishops. Tony is my Barber. Looks like they are just interested in making money rather than loving their job and doing creative work for customer satsifaction. I Booked a Skin Fade which as per app says 30-60 min includes complimentary hot towel and shampoo but in this 6 times I never recieved that. I am no more goint to Bishops. I am giving 2 * because atleast couple of hair stylists are nice and doing justification for thier job. I see so uneven hair my on head which is kind of bullshit because Tony did hair cut like a Bullet Train. read more

This is a great place I highly recommend you guys to try here! Lindsey is very nice and patient with deft hands. She made my hair cut super cute! The environment is also new and contemporary. And I'm surprised it's not expensive！It only costs me 30 with tips after coupon but actually, I'll definitely still choose here even there is no coupon read more

Fenris is incredible barber. I went in with an idea and he took the time to talk about how he could make the cut work with the way my hair grows. Walked me through the process of how to style it and what products to use. Had a great conversation throughout the process. I'll be back soon! read more

Ended up spending WAY more than they quoted and got an absolutely terrible cut and color. I'd decided to splurge and do a cool purple gradient, and ended up with brown hair and red highlights. It actually looked very much like a Karen cut. read more

I have gone to Bishops a few times since I moved here. The welcoming vibe and clean place is what made me want to make this my usual. But today, I was very disappointed. Felicia was my barber. I went in for a typical fade and blend the top in. It wasn't too bad of an experience until I saw that the sides looked completely different. My right side was way too short compared to my left side. The left side didn't even blend from the hairline it was literally just a straight line and was a lot thicker than the right side. This is overpriced at $50 to get a great clips quality haircut. I am not trying to be mean but this haircut was very disappointing and also overpriced for the quality of work. I had to come back in and politely ask her to fix it, she was nice and tried to help but she blamed it on my thinning hair because of sleeping on one side which makes no sense because all my previous barbers have been able to make both sides look even. I still don't feel fully confident in my hair despite going back for a fix. I am giving this a 2 star because my last experience I believe with Tony was amazing. But this recent one with Felicia gave me 0 confidence to come back again. She does not have any attention to detail. The shop is high quality and the barbers/stylist should reflect that in their work. read more

Finally got to check out Bishops, I've been to Rudys in Bellevue and a couple other salons nearby. Bishops is very similar to Rudys but no reservation you just check-in and it will tell you wait time. Rudys is nice because you can reserve online with a particular person, so if you find a favorite you can keep going to them. The whole place was very clean and nice lighting and mirrors and hair accesories to buy, parking was decent, alot of workout classes next door so it fills up fast. ONLY tiny downside - they do charge, similar to Rudys, dependent on if you get clippers only for buzz or use scissors. So for most adults, this is totally fine, since most haircuts cost like $35 bucks and take like an hour. The downside is for KIDS. So a kid with like super long hair, like 4-5yr old, would take a long time, wash and cut etc. But a toddler, who has barely any hair, especially a boy, literally takes 10mins to cut their hair, you buzz, clip and you're done. A haircut on a toddler boy, when you know its going to be short, should just get charged the $10 buzz but with scissors used, I totally get the thinking of places like Rudys and Bishops, some kid walks in with super long hair, its going to take awhile, but you should make exceptions to the rules when its obvious a toddler is going to be in and out of the chair in 10mins, meaning you get more customers in and make more money etc. Small critique, but a costly one for some families. read more

I like this salon. It's my new go to for affordable cuts. The prices have gone up or else I'd give it a 5 star but I'm consistently happy with my cuts and love the close location. read more

This place was nice and fun. Free la croix and candy up front. The person that cut my hair asked me a lot of questions and was freely giving me advice I needed which I greatly appreciated. I left getting a hair moisturizer because my hair is dead. It's been a great addition to my hair regimen. After my cut my hair looks so much more healthy and clean- I actually put it down now and really like touching my hair again. Thank you for a great cut! read more

I am sorry to say but for the amount that I paid to get a clipper cut I was not satisfied with my visit or my haircut. After I got home and washed it out lot of of uneven areas. read more

This is a fabulous hair salon! Tony was awesome. He is very knowledgeable about hair coloring and gave good advice on how to care for my hair and color.

I just went to this place for the first time last weekend and man, Tony was on point! He demonstrated positive customer service, with providing customer-friendly advice that allowed for me to make the decision to change my hairstyle for the first time in nearly four years! I wouldn't have changed my cut had I not had the confidence in my barber. Tony possesses 25 years of experience, and it shows with the quality of his work. This place is also fairly priced, as I used to pay $29 at Sports Clips for a hit-or-miss haircut. This place charges I believe around $34 for my style, but totally worth paying extra for a haircut if it's going to be a quality-guaranteed experience. I would recommend this place to all that are looking for "cuts or color"! read more

Did not get the haircut I asked for. it literally looks so bad and is so uneven. it looks stupid and there's no way to fix it either. i'm pissed. don't go here unless you want to come out with a horrible haircut. this is not the first time it's happened either. read more

They never disappoint. Abraham has been doing my hair for awhile now, and he's extremely kind and professional. I called in to set up an appointment with Abraham and he recognized me over the phone. Great memory. He remembers previous conversations we had and even remembers my hair so well that I don't have to re-explain how I want it done. He knows my hair better than I do! Anyone who's thinking of getting a hair cut, ask for Abraham!! 5-stars all the way! read more

Tony at Bishops Cuts in Newcastle is terribly rude and doesn't know how to color or cut. I would never go back here! I would give 0 stars if I could. I came here 3-4 years ago for haircuts and color. The color was not turning out the way it should so I quit going. The manager even tried to fix the color but couldn't. I no longer color my hair so I thought I would come back for cuts. I had an appointment. When I walked in the door, Tony was behind the desk and was already grumpy. He said you know you used to get your hair cut here by me but you dropped me. He told me he wasn't going to cut my hair. Wow! Out the door I went and I will certainly tell everyone I know to never go to Bishops. read more

My husband loves his haircuts here, been in twice and was happy both times. 2nd time he was remembered and they knew exactly what to do without having to explain it again. He will happily continue seeing Tony, and might try the beard grooming and shave next time. Plus it's conveniently on his way home from work.

We live near here and were looking for somewhere quick, nearby, and reasonably priced, but who still knew what they were doing. Bishops hit all the marks. My boyfriend got his long hair chopped to a medium length cut last week by a stylist at Bishops named Shay or Shanae? I'm sorry I can't remember now! But she did a fantastic job, exactly what he wanted. She even gave a few useful tips for his hair. He has been absolutely loving his new hair, it looks fantastic and gave him a fresh look. For the long cut it was $40. Worth it! We will be back. read more
