Bishops Cuts/Color is a retail haircare franchise offering haircutting, coloring, barbering, grooming, treatments, and authorized related products. The consumer brand embraces an inclusive “come as you are” point of view, serving a broad guest base rather than narrowly targeting one gender, age group, or hair type. Its service mix includes everyday trims and shape-ups alongside expressive, trend-forward color work and a-la-carte services such as beard trims, blowouts, and gloss treatments.
The concept is built around a distinctive salon experience: professional hair services in a casual, creative, community-oriented environment. Bishops describes its locations as a blend of creative studio and neighborhood hangout, using curated design, music, and complimentary beverages to help create an experience that feels less formal than a traditional salon. Customers may book online or use the brand’s walk-in-friendly format, which supports both planned appointments and more immediate service needs.
For prospective owners, Bishops offers a manager-run operating structure. The franchise agreement requires a qualified General Manager to oversee the store’s day-to-day operations full time, while at least one owner oversees the broader business and general operations. This creates an ownership role centered on leadership, management oversight, team development, local business-building, and maintaining the brand experience rather than personally performing salon services.
Bishops has operated since 2001 and has franchised since 2003. The franchisor-provided one-sheet reports 41 open units and identifies major markets and multi-unit opportunities. The brand’s typical physical footprint is listed as 800 to 1,500 square feet, and its labor model begins with a manager and five stylists, with mature locations described as having approximately eight to 12 stylists and optional assistant-manager or front-desk support.
Franchisees receive defined pre-opening and ongoing support from the franchisor. Support may include site-selection guidance, consultation on buildout and store development, employee recruiting and training guidance, purchasing and inventory-control support, opening assistance, operating consultation, marketing guidance, and access to approved supplier information. Initial training includes business training and store-opening training, covering HR, team planning, KPIs, sales, marketing, retail, inventory, owner immersion, stylist operations, store operations, and front-desk management.
Bishops also provides a structured local-marketing framework. Franchisees have access to approved marketing and advertising templates through the system intranet, and the brand’s recommended local approach includes digital and community-based advertising in targeted markets. The system also supports approved organic social-media activity and events, subject to brand standards.
