Description
What is Bishops?
Bishops makes great haircuts and color accessible to anyone who wants to feel like their boldest, most authentic self—no judgment and no pretense. We’re growing a network of modern, inclusive salons where individuality thrives and communities come together.
For franchisees, it’s more than a business—it’s a chance to build culture, spark creativity, and lead with purpose.
We're redefining the salon experience, one great cut at a time.
Bishops fills a long-standing gap in the industry: not a chop shop, not overpriced luxury, and never at the expense of quality. For more than 20 years, the brand has been rooted in community, supporting local nonprofits and giving back at the neighborhood level. From an ownership perspective, Bishops operates as an executive model or owner-operator model—over 75% of franchisees work fewer than 10 hours per week by hiring a manager to oversee daily operations, allowing owners to focus on growth, other interests, or life beyond the sho.
- Unique brand that appeals to broad customer base
- High repeat service rate
- Recession resistant
- Support of Head to Toe Brands and The Riverside Company
