Bishops Barbershops - Franchise

Move over traditional barbershops. There’s a new, hipper game in town.
Hair care is a $55 billion dollar industry, and Bishops brings something new to a traditional, long-standing service.

Own a Bishops Barbershop and you will fill the gap between national haircut chains, traditional barbershops and full-service salons. This fun, modern salon delivers high-end quality at affordable prices in a casual environment that includes edgy artwork and music, and trend-setting stylists.

Clients are served on a convenient, walk-in only basis, and choose from an a la carte menu of services including style, shampoo, blow dry, a variety of cut and color options, or a hot towel shave. Those who are 21 and older are offered a free bottle of cold Miller High Life.
