I get a text shortly asking to come in on a different day or even earlier. I explained i had work which is why i took the last appointment. We compromised on a day earlier, same last block. I get a call the afternoon of my appointment. Harold explains he had to leave for the day and passed me off to a different barber. I was hesitant but i gave it a chance. Came in 10 minutes earlier. Was helped right away by the secondary barber. Showed him multiple pictures of my usual haircut. It's very simple, fade on the side and trim on top, even out the front. I felt like he didn't really look or ask for clarification. Instead he template matched me to cuts he probably regularly does. Guys who get haircuts regularly know when it feels wrong. And I could tell he went too high on the sides just by feeling. And when i saw it in the mirror my heart sank. Just ruined my head in 10 minutes. I could tell he wasn't comfortable with scissors. He actually lost grip on his shaver and knicked me on the neck with it. I do not recommend this place. And I get a haircut literally every single week where I'm from and they lost a potential regular. I don't think I'll come back here after going thru the stress of working with Harold trying to reschedule around HIM with my own personal schedule already. Very unprofessional. On top of that, you pre pay and get charged BEFORE coming in and as I was about to leave the guy who did my haircut asked me to pay AGAIN. So now I got double charged in the meantime while I wait for them to refund my original booking. These guys need to get it together and make the customer experience and journey have less friction and back and forth. Very disappointed. Don't book with Harold he likes to leave early. Adrian tried his best, but he's got a lot of work to do. 8/19: Edit cuz the owner or barber wants to back track. But Harold cornered me the afternoon of my appointment while I was at work to tell me he would be leaving at 3 that day and said he was gonna leave me to another barber. So NO NORMAN, he did not specify that I would get passed off up until a few hours before my rescheduled appointment and at that point I had enough of this back and forth and was trying to trust in the staff to take care of me but I did not get a skilled enough barber to do a simple mid high fade.

She is totally my Tr1B3. She spoke kindly to my daughter getting the haircut and gave her suggestions. 45-mins later my daughter walked out with a haircut her teenage self loves so much. The vibe in this Bishops illustrates why the Cupertino one appears to be struggling. The moment you walk in, it is like a club atmosphere, with stylists' stations flanking the front desk and a cute lil dog in a Burberry-styled dress/skirt tottering about. The art work on display above every stylists' station adds a cool touch for each. And the Front Desk is splashed with celebrity photos pieced together scrapbook style. My son and I tried to identify each one so it's a fun talking point between geriatric millennial mother and Gen Z son waiting for Gen Alpha daughter's haircut.

I had an amazing experience with Lexi! She is a truly talented hairstylist who takes her time and works with incredible patience and professionalism. I came in with a previous haircut that had uneven, damaged layers, and she completely transformed it. Lexi listened carefully to what I wanted and made sure every detail matched my vision. The result is honestly the best haircut I've ever had--exactly what I've always hoped for. Her skills are exceptional, and her attention to detail really shows. On top of that, she is warm, down-to-earth, and provides outstanding customer service. The pricing is also very affordable for the level of quality she delivers. I highly recommend Lexi to anyone looking for a stylist who truly cares and delivers beautiful results! read more
