Barry!!! You gotta go to Barry. He’s got the best vibes and really knows hair. He’ll make sure you leave happy. I’ve searched for a year in the Charlotte area for the perfect cut and Barry nailed it.

I came from out of town for a concert, on the morning of the concert I got a wild thought and wanted to chop all my hair off. I called Bishops and they got me in immediately. The young lady who did my hair (Mia) was amazing. She made sure I knew and understood what I was asking for and wanting before cutting my hair. She continued to walk me through the process during the cut as well. I cut 8 inches off my hair and absolutely love it.

Megan is an exceptional stylist who consistently delivers exactly what I’m looking for. She takes the time to listen, offers thoughtful suggestions, and always executes the style perfectly. Her professionalism and attention to detail make every appointment a great experience. I always leave feeling confident and polished — I can’t recommend her enough!

Barry was such a treat!! I took a shot in the dark and spontaneously walked in for a haircut. I got so lucky that he had some availability! Barry took such good care of me and had such a good vision for my shorter, wavy mullet. He took his time with my naturally wavy hair to give me a low maintenance cut that has truly saved me so much time in the morning. He was super patient, very attentive, and he wasn’t afraid to take on anything I threw at him. I can’t recommend him enough. I’m super grateful that I had the chance to be in his chair. Looking forward to the next cut! Thank you again, Barry! Serendipity at its finest.

My boyfriend and I both went to get haircuts over the weekend. Everyone was super nice and listened to everything we wanted. Asked great questions and the experience was amazing. Will 100% be going back!

I left with a blowout, and realized she never showed my the back of my hair in the mirror at the end, but after getting home and a closer look at the cut it was blunt and choppy. Going in I had quite long hair, with V cut layers in the back. I asked for a simple trim to upkeep my layers and touch up my face framing. I emphasized I wanted to keep as much length as possible. She (I don’t actually know the name of the person who’s cut my hair because she didn’t introduce herself) cut off all the “V” and my hair is now almost blunt cut and choppy and much shorter than when I first came in. Which sucks because I’ve spent so long growing it out to a length I’m happy with and now it’s like I’m back to square one, with a choppy haircut on top of it :(

Love Bishops! They are the nicest and most welcoming salon I've ever been too. Maleia is the greatest. I always look 1000 times better after she does my hair. Do yourself a favor, go to Bishops, and ask for Maleia.

I've been going here for about 4 years and they are always top-notch. Would highly recommend Bishops to anyone but especially trans/queer people, everyone here makes me feel so welcome. This 5 star review is specifically for Barry, shout-out Barry! They were so nice and fun to talk to and did a fantastic job with my hair and being gender-affirming :). Barry if you're reading this I love the cut you gave me you went above and beyond ^-^

I cut my own hair for more than 15 years due to one bad experience at a salon. Bishops is the best place I have ever gone for a haircut. Staff are professional and happy, the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. It’s a very queer friendly space. You’ll be spending more here than great clips, but you get what you pay for and it’s absolutely worth it. Also, I’ve seen three stylists, and each one was incredible.

I moved to Charlotte from NJ about a year ago. I have short hair and had seen the same hair dresser for 10 years or more in NJ. Finding a new hair dresser can be scary but I got so lucky. I found Bishops and love this place. I see Megan and she is absolutely amazing.

Olivia gave the best haircut I have ever had! She knew how to cut my fine hair so it moves and looks fuller. I can’t wait for her to help me with a new style. I can’t believe at 54, I’ve never had a cut this good! I also loved the environment, everyone seemed relaxed and I enjoyed the art. Definitely better than a stale salon with hair magazine photos on the walls.
Megan Turner

Up until recently I did hair and hadn’t had anyone but friends touch my hair in 10 years. I left it up to fate when I booked the appointment and ended up being scheduled with Ollie! They listened and checked in throughout the cut to make sure I was happy. Which I am so happy. They absolutely killed it and the vibe of the shop was great. Thank you Ollie for a killer pixie and a good time!

This place is fine if you want a basic cut, but for anything more complicated I would highly recommend going somewhere else.

I went in to get my color redone, along with a cut and keratin treatment. They ended up charging me well over $100 above what I had been quoted. Now I understand that during an extended hair treatment some things can come up that can alter the price of the procedure, but $100 is frankly ridiculous. The company seems to know what they're doing too, as they had me sign a waiver essentially relinquishing them of any responsibility for overcharging me. Funnily enough they didn't even bother to fill in the part on the form where they're supposed to list the procedures being done or their costs. Just left that part blank.

So after sitting in a chair for well over 4 hours I was left with a color and style that were not at all like what I'd requested. And they didn't even bother to style it or finish drying it before asking me to pay them nearly $400. And to top it all off, when I got home I found a large bleach stain on the back of my sweater.

Let me say first that my haircut itself is perfect, literally never been more precisely what I wanted than what Angel shaped on my melon. Thank you for getting right what so many other stylists have fubbed. Separating the less than desirable conversation from this stylist from the remainder of the shop, I have to admit the shop feels dated, with faded cutouts of old celebrity magazine photos plastered over the entirety of the establishment it felt disorderly and messy. While the theme of this great celebrity hair illusion was consistent every stylist had their own personal station that held space for their personalities, which I think was great. I also think this personality is crucial to experience a comfortable hair salon, it just misses the mark to me because it felt like a barely held together theme of celebrity glam while promising personal attention to the details.
If you're comfortable shelling out to a good person for a good cut, go to Bishops you won't regret it. But if you desire something more sterile and cookie cutter you might think Bishops is not for you, but you'd be wrong. I highly suggest you take a minute with a good stylist at Bishops in their half put together studio because it will help you appreciate that not everything about community is perfectly quaffed, you might have an honest interaction with a decent person, and on top of that you'll leave with a damn good cut too.

I used to go to expensive salons until I found Bishops. Even when I get a random stylist, I'm happy with the results. I keep a simple short style and can reliably ask for a "clippers set to 2 around my ears, faded longer to a few inches on top ✂️." This works every time. Bishops also has a great crew and a friendly vibe. Good prices. Recommended 👍

This was my first time at a Bishops and honestly it was fantastic! (Though I may be biased since this will soon be my last name. 😂) Madison was so friendly and welcoming and fun to talk to. I felt comfortable expressing what I wanted and working with them to find what works best with my hair. I will definitely be coming back.

Kat K. did a really great job cutting my hair and then was able to get me in to color it the next day! I’ve never ever colored my hair at all, it is long and dark brown, and she did an amazing job highlighting it! I am super happy
with the result! Thank you!

In theory they do walk-ins but they've always been too busy for that when I checked. Very kind people who were understanding of some health issues I had that made it hard for me to shower. Got a nice wash, cut, and came back a while later for another wash! Affordable and you can make same-day appointments online if you aren't picky about which stylist you see.

Stylist:Kat
I'm editing this because it is now days later and I'm still in love with my hair! I was rocking the same haircut for over a decade and switched it up BIG TIME this time and I don't think I've ever been so happy with a cut after leaving the salon before. Honestly, a millions stars for Kat!!
Original review:
Kat K is the literal best! Cut and color today and not only are the results a.m.a.z.i.n.g but the vibes were so fun and chill! Usually my haircuts leave me avoiding another one for years but I just saw Kat back in January for my first cut in 3 years and came back for a big change and she nailed it! Forever sticking with her for all my hair needs!

I’ve never had a regular barber until booking Ryan at Bishops in Orenco two years ago. I’ve been coming back twice a month ever since and have been super happy with my cut every time. I’d never left a haircut feeling as fresh as I do here. Ryan does exactly what I want and offers suggestions when I’m not sure. I had to give him a shoutout.. thanks for many great cuts and the confidence that comes with them Ryan!!

Just had a color appointment with Ivey K! She listened to what I was wanting, asked about the type of maintenance I was looking for after the coloring, she was honest and up front with pricing and trying to stay with in budget, she was soo kind and is a hair color master! I could not believe how my hair turned out... it was perfect! She is efficient and delivered on the results. She explained what we can do in the future and what to expect with my coloring as it grows out and is washed many times. She also made sure the maintenance to up keep was low for me since I'll be focusing on a new baby soon. I really really reccomend Ivey as a hair stylist! Thank you soo much!!! 💓

I love Bishops, this is such a cool location. Good vibes, music, service. Hair washing sink is surprisingly comfortable. Extra seating available for while you wait. The stations can get overstimulating for me with a full house but it just feels like a good group hangout.
I’ve been getting fantastic alternative cuts from Xavier! Hes amazing with a razor and shears, I’ve looked amazing the last few months! I can’t recommend Bishops or Xavier’s chair enough!!!

They are friendly there but they don’t give the best haircuts. I am super disappointed in the haircut I got after washing it when i got him & realizing how choppy and uneven it was. I can’t believe I paid for a haircut to look like this lol
When she had styled it it looked okay, it was a little shorter than I hoped but it was fine and when I got home I noticed how it really looked & people have even commented on how uneven and choppy it looks. Save your money and go elsewhere. Very disappointed, considering how much money they charge for a haircut, you should be able to get a decent looking haircut and this place did the opposite. I don’t recommend going here. 2 stars because they were kind but they need to focus on their hair cutting skills a lot more. Worst haircut I’ve ever gotten probably.

Bishops in Orenco Station is the only place I cut my hair. Everyone there is very friendly and professional. I always book with Ryan because ever since the first time he cut my hair, I've been in love with the magic he works! I've gone short with my hairstyle. I have a round face and I like wispy and textured short hairstyles, and every time, Ryan makes it look fantastic. My sister and I have been loyal clients for over five years, and we don’t mind the hour drive—it’s totally worth it. Last time I couldn't get an appointment because he was fully booked for the day, but while he was dyeing my sister's hair, he made time to cut mine while her color was setting. I wasn't expecting that and it was very kind and great (I was totally having a hair emergency). Ryan really listens, gives great advice, and ensures you walk out feeling and looking amazing every single time. He is very thorough. He also gives helpful tips on how to care for and style your hair at home and keep it looking great. After seeing the beautiful coloring he did on my sister's hair, I am tempted to dye mine too! This level of service reflects on the other hairstylists here too, who are equally amazing. Truly, the whole team is incredible. Can’t recommend them enough!

Some locations and stylists do. Reach out to your local Bishops directly, or call ahead to check.

Can I go from black to blonde in one session?
