I came in wanting a dark black purple and got jet black with no hint of purple (see photo). I called the next day complaining and wanting to talk to my hairdresser Lee to reschedule further out when the black was more faded out. I was assuming the redo would be free of charge or at least discounted, but they got back to me in three weeks saying they only do free redos if it's within a week. I am upset with my service as I paid for something I didn't ask for and didn't get any discounts or deals for the next appointment. I wish I could give this business a good review, the staff was kind and the vibe of the shop was nice too. read more

Bishops - Wanted a purple black, just got jet black. - Hair Salons Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I looked at Yelp reviews and was a little worried at first but so glad I gave it a shot! I checked Google after and it has 4.8 stars with over 1k reviews. The salon was nice and inviting and everyone was friendly. Tekendrick cut my hair and it's PERFECT! I wanted a specific look for my layers and bangs and he made it look even better than I imagined. For Richmond, I think the price was awesome for the service and quality. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it! My only note is the parking in the area sucks so give yourself some extra time to find some before your appointment. read more

Nic was very truthful and honest about my potential hair plan and was accommodating with the goals I want to achieve. Their customer service was better than most if not all of the salons I've ever visited. I look forward to working with them on getting my ideal hair! The vibe of the salon was very welcoming but with an edgy aesthetic which fit exactly what I was looking for. read more

Sarah did a great job with my coarse, thick head of hair - on a 63 year old. My hair can lay flat if not cut well and Sarah did a great deal of razor cutting which gave my hair more lift. My first visit to Bishops and I lucked out with Sarah! She knew how to solve the challenges with my hair cut. My hair was fun to play with this morning! The cut gives me options for styling with my super short cut. read more

Carrie is awesome. Super easy to talk to and I love my haircut more and more every day.

Very nice service! Excellent quality Great vibe The stylist did an amazing job with my long cut read more

Ash did an amazing job on highlighting and cutting my long hair and I felt so good about how I looked when I left.

Prompt - the appt started on time. Friendly - Nic was really nice, listened to where I was in my grow-out phase and helped me see what kind of cut would be best for me. Overall vibe was chill, funky, but no fuss. It was an affordable cut without sacrificing quality or being worried that my short cut would be butchered. I'll come back! read more

This was my most expensive disappointment ever. The price was outrageous and they didn't come through whatsoever. I paid 300 (including tip) for a cut, balayage and style. What I received was NOT a balayage. I even booked a second appointment to fix the color, and they still couldn't complete my request after showing multiple reference photos. I also left each time with my hair still very wet. I even noticed days later that my hair cut was uneven and lacked layers, which we discussed including. I had posted a review earlier, but removed it because I felt bad. But if I were planning on spending this much money, I'd want an honest review. read more

I had 2 appointments ever here. It was really easy to schedule online, picking the date, time, provider, and type of appointment with clear prices listed for the different services available. There are many openings for a simple short cut. My first cut was with Katie Maxey. When I wanted to adjust the style after showing the picture, they accommodated to the best of their ability. Since I had my hair cut down a little lower, they had to change the service to a skin fade, which ended up being $39.60 with tip. I thought it was average at best. I made a second appointment, this time with TK Griffin, and made sure to indicate "skin fade" so that there would be no confusion. When I showed a sample picture of what I wanted, they said that they didn't have the tools for it, so they would go as close as they could. Additionally, when I got home, I noticed long strands of uncut hair around my head and had to touch up at home. As a result, after two attempts, I would recommend elsewhere for hair styling needs. read more

TK does a great job, and I love the inclusive environment at Bishops! I've never had a bad experience

My stylist was super friendly and it was an overall welcoming environment. My cut went past closing time, but they did not rush to finish or make me feel rushed. I will definitely be coming back :) read more

I walked in here thinking from the outside it was a normal men's barber shop. It's not, so let's get that part out of the way. I was already there and long overdue for a haircut so I thought whatever I'd give it a try. There was nobody getting a cut or waiting when I walked in but they/them told me I still had to make an appt. I said ok. Then they told me I had to do it through their app or some nonsense despite being there in the store and it was going to be an hour wait so I left. There are 2 other barbershops across the street about 3 blocks down, I was in and out in 20 mins for $15 less than what they were going to charge me at bishops. read more

Everything went great! TK was knowledgeable, professional and personable. The atmosphere was calm, professional and inviting. There was jovial conversation, but nothing distracting. The experience was splendid and I look forward to coming back! read more

Sage was so sweet, they talked to me the whole time and made the whole experience feel super welcoming and safe. i went in for a shag mullet and immediately noticed how chill everything was. i love my new hair so much!! read more

I have never gotten my hair color professionally done. I have always had a friend do my hair with one of those hair boxes from the store. I was very nervous but excited because I wanted to try something new & it came out so beautifully! My roommate recommended this hair place & now I am recommending it to you guys! They exceeded my expectations & much more. I had the amazing TK do my hair & he listened to everything I wanted for my hair & was very sweet & patient. Bishops is very LGBT friendly so if you have any worries they are very friendly & accepting! Overall, I highly recommend & good pricing for the work they do. read more

I walked in to Bishops not knowing what type of haircut I wanted and not knowing if my 1-yr old baby would corporate long enough for me to get any sort of haircut. Kiki was so understanding and patient. She gave me a fabulous cut and was super comfortable and accommodating while I held my baby the entire time. Her hand was soo steady and my baby's movement didn't bother her at all. She said that clients often bring their kids along for a haircut. The space was very welcoming and the ladies played with my daughter and thanked me for bringing her in. It was so sweet and I'm so grateful for them read more

I was really looking forward to getting a beard trim at Bishop's and I was met with a cold shoulder and very poor customer service. I stood there while two of the stylists chatted away. When I asked if there was anything else I needed to do to check in, one of the stylists was not very pleasant at all. I took my money and walked out. I will not be going back to Bishop's. This was a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend this place. read more

I received the worst haircut of my life here 6 months ago and I'm still trying to grow it out. I have long hair past my bra strap. The instructions I gave were I want to dye my hair natural dark (dye job was fine) and I want a trim. I also said I need to tie my hair back easily at work so not too short layers or anything. She took out a razor and ran it through my hair and proceeded to give me extremely short thick chunky uneven layers at the top , crown, and back of my hair. Then there's a long gap and the rest of the hair was long. Basically, she gave me a long mullet haircut. Multiple people commented on how bad my haircut was after. There's nothing about my instructions, personal style or preexisting haircut I wanted trimmed that would indicate I'd want this hairstyle. My layers are so short I couldn't tie my hair back without pinning it, they would stick straight up in the air when I'd wake up. For this monstrous job, I had to pay 250 dollars. I travel for work and I have a stylist in Texas, CT, and california, and I know on average for a dye job and trim I pay about 100 dollars plus tip. I am not going to call out my stylist by name. I am calling out Bishops... WHAT BUSINESS DO YOUR STYLISTS HAVE CHARGING THE PRETENTIOUS PRICE OF 250 dollars? Have you vetted their skills? What quality control do you have? For 250 bucks the stylists better be banging out some of the best styles on the east coast. Bonus, she stained my shirt with dye. Cherry on top she didn't shampoo the dye out of the back of my hair so I had caked crispy dye flakes in the back of my head and had to shampoo it again when I got home. read more

For my daughter to come home a rave about a hair cut is pretty monumental, her experience with Elliott was 2nd to none. The cut looked awesome and she felt great about it. Quoted from her "its the first time i ever got a hair cut where I wasn't sad since loosing my old hair stylist in the fan. It was such an awesome experience everyone was so awesome this will be my new place from here on out". thank you to all who made this a great experience for her, looks like you have 2 new customers for life read more

Eliot cut my hair today and they did an amazing job! Super welcoming space, will definitely be returning for my next cut!

Bishops is an absolutely delightful place to get your hair done!! Their location is super close to VCU, right on W. Broad St, and I decided to check it out after I found a free coupon for a haircut, and it was great! I went in for a walk-in, and they saw me right away, and gave me a water. I believe my hair dresser was Jessica, and she was a friendly, bubbly, kind, VCU Grad. I had her chop a few inches off, and now my hair looks wonderful! The decor of the place is really fun, and modern. They are definitely extremely inclusive too. They even have student discounts, You should check them out next time you need a hair cut! read more

We love Bishop's on Broad! They are always so friendly and responsive. My partner and I frequent this location since its opening in September. LGBT+ friendly and a safe space for the queer community. Amelia is our favorite stylist! She is so sweet and pays incredible attention to detail. She will talk you through what she thinks is best for you specifically and will work with you to decide a style for you. A big plus is that they're also dog friendly and provide water/treats for our fuzzy friends. Highly recommended to anyone in RVA who may not have had luck with traditional salons/barbershops! read more

I booked an appointment for 7:30 & they asked if I would be able to come in sooner, I told them that I would head there as soon as possible and they bumped up my appointment without giving me any notice. when I was able to show up, which was at the time of my original appointment, they marked me as a no call no show. I was never made aware that the appointment was moved up to a 7:00 slot. Very poor communication & scheduling skills. Not likely to make an appointment again. read more

After 2 years of not getting a haircut, I decided it was time for some tlc. I saw Jewels Victoria and came out completely unsatisfied. I showed her a reference picture and explained how my hair gets extremely thick when cut short. She ended up cutting my hair at least 3 inches shorter than I wanted and it was extremely crooked. I will not be coming back. read more

The staff was so polite. The shop is the cleanest shop I've ever been to. They sanitize in between each customer as well. I was a bit nervous with wearing my natural hair, so I wanted to get a little color to make it pop. I was still nervous even after leaving the shop but I've gotten mad compliments and that makes me feel more comfortable now. Thanks TK for the confidence boost.... I'll be back for some new color soon !! :) read more

I struggled finding a good place to get a haircut for a long time either because it was going to cost more than I was willing to pay or I ended up getting a poor stylist. After my appointment yesterday I left with the best haircut I've ever had and felt like I learned a lot about hair. My stylist, Amelia, really knew what she was doing and taught me some really cool tricks about how to keep my hair looking healthy. I was really pleased with my experience and I will definitely be going back! read more

Jewel did good bri is just a hater. Bishop is tuff. I would recommend. Yelp is making me write more stuff.

I randomly decided to get my haircut the other day, and Bishops had availability. The place was setup perfectly to make you feel safe in regard to covid, and the person who did my hair was even double-masked. It was super efficient, and I am absolutely obsessed with how my haircut turned out. Chrissy was super supportive and gave great input on what she thought would look good. Also, super affordable! I could not recommend more. read more

Ive been seeing Erica regularly (every 2-3 months) for a quick trim for the past year - and she is WONDERFUL! I have BIG hair anxiety and only trust Bishops to keep my split ends in check. Also, I love that you're able to select/choose each added amenity, such as shampoo, condition, blow dry, etc. No annoying up selling or pressure, but always a great service and conversation. Thanks, Erica! read more

I had a fantastic experience at Bishops Haircuts! I walked in and the staff was super accommodating, making sure I was comfortable and asked if I needed anything. I got my haircut done by Jessica and she was super sweet and helpful. She helped me figure out what would be best for my hair type and what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend going to Bishops !! read more

Came in by chance - looked like a cool, alternative salon. Kiera did a great job getting rid of my dead ends without losing much length. She did a nice blow out and my hair was soft and shiny when I left. Thanks! read more

the staff was friendly, which I appreciated. This was my first time getting my hair dyed but I knew exactly what I wanted. after The appointment I only had half the hair done. And it seemed like that was it. Nothing else was done. And it was pretty, but not what I wanted. The person called me later and said they were unsatisfied and wanted to fix it. The next day I give another chance. The colors were not close to what I wanted at all. like I said it was pretty. But blotchy and also not the colors I wanted. they messed up and made my hair orange. Then tried again with another color and still didn't get it right. I was trying to be patient but it still wasn't right. Ended up red. They said my hair held the red more. Still. I spoke with another professional and they said that it should've set longer. it was not at all what I wanted and I paid a lot for it. Not to mention the bottom half washed out within a week. And when they " lifted" my hair ends it wasn't actually lifted at all. overall very unsatisfied. could've been better if I just used box dye. read more

visited bishops today for the first time and i'm totally sold! very trendy/urban looking from the outside, kinda intimidated me at first but i'm so glad I gave this place a shot. the staff was so friendly and easy to chat with, this place is definitely a safe space. Jessica took great care of me, couldn't be happier with my cut. really great prices too. they're new to rva but i doubt they'll have any trouble building a client base. read more
