Real Reviews From The Navy Yard Crew
Our shop feels more like your favorite local record store than a salon. We keep things creative, casual, and community-driven. Whether you’re a local regular or just moved to the neighborhood, you’ll find stylists here who listen, laugh, and make you feel like yourself—only fresher.
We’re proud to serve students, families, professionals, and everyone in between. Come as you are, and leave feeling even more like you.
Do I need an appointment?
Nope. We’re walk-in friendly at all locations, though some services (especially color) are easier to book in advance. Use the “Book Now” button to lock in your time if you’re on a schedule.
What kind of salon is Bishops?
We’re a hybrid between a barbershop and a salon—but with way better playlists. Think expert cuts, creative color, and an unpretentious, inclusive vibe. All ages. All hair types. All welcome.
Do you cut curly/textured hair?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our stylists are trained in curl-specific cutting and styling techniques. If you have a particular request, we recommend giving us a call, booking in advance, and leaving a note so we can match you with the right stylist that will get your cut just right.
Are your stylists licensed?
Yep. Every Bishops stylist is fully licensed by their state and regularly trained on current techniques, trends, and client care.
Do you sell hair products?
Yes—and we only stock what we actually use. Ask your stylist for recs based on your hair goals. No pressure, just solid advice.
What services do you offer?
We offer:
Can I bring a picture of the look I want?
Definitely. Bring screenshots, inspo pics, or your Pinterest board. We’ll talk it through and help you get as close as possible based on your hair type and condition.
Do you do perms or relaxers?
Some locations and stylists do. Reach out to your local Bishops directly, or call ahead to check.
How long do services take?
Cuts usually take 30–45 minutes. Color services vary depending on complexity. For full bleach-outs or vivid transformations, plan for 2–3 hours or more. We’ll give you an estimate during your consultation.
Do you cut kids’ hair?
Absolutely. We love helping kids feel confident about their style. Our stylists are trained to work with all ages and make first-time cuts feel fun and low-stress.
How much is a haircut?
Pricing varies by shop and service. For the most accurate details, visit your local Bishops location page.
How much does color cost?
Every head of hair is different, and the cost depends on the look you’re going for—whether it’s a root touch-up, gloss, full bleach-and-tone, or balayage. That’s why we recommend starting with a FREE consultation. Our stylists will sit down with you, talk through your goals, review your hair’s history and condition, and create a custom plan just for you.
Do you charge by gender?
Never. Our pricing is based on time, technique, and length—not identity. Hair is hair.
Are consultations free?
Yes. Always. Book online or stop in for a quick chat.
What if I don’t know what color I want?
Perfect. That’s what we’re here for. Book a free color consultation or come in with a few reference points, and your stylist will help guide the decision based on your goals, lifestyle, and hair health.
Can I go from black to blonde in one session?
It depends on your hair type and history—but probably not. We’ll prioritize hair health over speed. Multiple sessions may be needed for major changes.
Do you work with vivid/fantasy colors?
Absolutely. Pinks, purples, neons, iridescents—we do it all. And we know how to make it last.
Do you offer color correction / color overhaul?
Yes! Come in for a FREE consultation so our color experts can assess whether it’s a correction, a refresh, or a full transformation. We’ll review the history and condition of your hair, talk through the change you’re looking for, and create a plan to get you there. From there, we’ll provide a custom recommendation and estimate to help you achieve your hair goals.
Is Bishops gender-inclusive?
Always. We were one of the first salon brands to lead the charge in non-gendered pricing and inclusive service training. You belong here.
Do you offer wheelchair-accessible stations?
Most of our shops do. We recommend calling your nearest location to confirm ahead of time so we can reserve the best spot for you.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Each shop manages its own scheduling. As a general rule, we appreciate 24-hour notice when possible. No-shows may be charged a fee.
Do you offer refunds on products?
Unopened products can usually be returned or exchanged within 30 days. Reach out to your local shop for their exact policy.
What if I’m unhappy with my service?
We want you to love your hair. While we do not offer refunds, we do provide a 7-day window for any fixes or color adjustments to make sure you get the look you want. If something isn’t right, reach out to the shop manager within 7 days and we’ll get you rescheduled.
