    patches of bleached hair throughout sections that weren't meant to be touched

    This was my first experience at a US hair salon since moving from Australia in December. I have dark brown hair with a halo of very light blonde that needed to be retouched. I received a call the day before my appointment asking to make my appointment 45 minutes later as the stylist I had booked with was allergic to bleach and couldn't do my service. This was fine and I agreed, however when I arrived she tried to palm me off to the same stylist that I was told was allergic which was very confusing to me. Once my service started we went over want I wanted and she was confident that she could execute it. While I know my roots were on the longer side and can make it a little more difficult to achieve an even result I've never had a problem when getting my hair done back home. Taking the time to bleach the longer sections before going back to apply at the roots is really all that needed to be done. The bleach was just slapped on haphazardly and doesn't even reach the roots in some sections, particularly at the top where my part is. I'm also left with dark yellow banding in patches. When it came time to rinse out the bleach she was very rough. At one point she got me to lift my head by pulling me up by my hair instead of lifting my head or simply asking me to lift my head. She used her nails to scrap at my scalp. While that wasn't necessarily painful, it was very uncomfortable. Water was spraying all over my face (I would expect it to happen a little bit but my face was literally wet). This is where I assumed a toner would be used. I'm not sure if salons in the US expect you to ask for a specific toner as in my experience toning always follows bleach and I had mentioned that my previous hairdresser would tone my blonde to an ashy tone or almost white which I was again wanting. As she was blowdrying she made comments about how good the work was and how nice it looked. She gave me a side part even tho I came in with middle part and my hair naturally has a middle part. At first glance things looked ok. I just wanted to be done with the service. I paid and went to leave and was asked if i wanted to send gratuity via Zelle or Venmo. Being asked to tip made me feel backed into a corner and while I really didn't feel a tip was deserved given my experience I tipped anyway. I don't think anyone should be demanding a tip, simply have your venmo or zelle info on a small sign at the counter so those who would like to tip you can instead of putting people on the spot. Granted this could have been avoided if not for my own anxieties as I could have just said no but felt too awkward. I go get into the car and flip my side part over so I have a middle part again. This is when I notice a mini raccoons tail striping down my middle part. I can't help but wonder if this is why my hair was parted differently to how it naturally wants to fall. I went back into the salon and showed the other stylist who then called my stylist back to fix it. She said she "didn't see that" when doing my hair and while she was very apologetic... that's literally your job? She put more bleach on the entire section of hair making the parts that were ok even lighter than they already were causing more unevenness and dryness. She then used a spray bottle to 'rinse' this bleach but when I got home there was still powerdy residue in my hair. My part is still uneven as you can see in the photos. While Brande seemed nice the service overall was sloppy and not worth the money or tip in the slightest. I got home and decided to throw on a colour in hopes of hiding all the things wrong with my hair and noticed patches of bleach in my dark hair, on the back and sides. The lack of care taken during my service is incredibly upsetting. I would expect better work from an apprentice let alone the manager. It does say in their website that if you don't like anything to let them know so they can bring you back in to fix it but after already asking for it to be fixed and seeing more and more wrong I won't be returning. I'd rather pay $1500 to fly back to Australia and see my old stylist if this is the acceptable quality of work in San Jose.

    My daughter's first hair cut went great at Bishops! Great customer service and the cut and style is beautiful! Will definitely be coming back!

    Walked in at 10:30am to music bumping and the friendliest staff. If you're looking in the mirror and need a reset of your hair, this is your sign to see Paul Casanova for a cut and color! Because, omg! I went in with brassy hair and walked out with a cool, toned down highlights with a butterfly cut. I'm so glad I came. The color is amazing, the cut is beautiful and best of all, Paul is soooo helpful and gives you all the tips of how to manage your hair. The whole process was long but perfection takes time. Total bill was $251 for all of this gorgeousness.

    If you're looking to go blonde, Brande is your girl! She's extremely kind and accommodating, always looking out for her clients best interests. Le has also given me many haircuts with layers that are always stunning. The shop owners, Marc and Rhian, keep their building really clean and decorated cute for the holidays throughout the year. They greet you with a friendly welcome when you step in, always ready to help and serve you!

    Le was very nice with my hair and vision! My wolf cut was low maintenance and it was done in 30 mins!

    Me with my bad haircut

    I really hate giving bad reviews but I am very unhappy with my haircut. I specifically asked for my hair to be cut shoulder length. We confirmed three times that the end result would be shoulder length. Instead I got a super short bob. Even as they were cutting the hair I asked them if this is some kind of layering technique and if the front pieces would be shoulder length and they said yes but that never happened. I have been to this location and other bishops in the past and I've never had such a bad experience!! Please do better!! :( :( Edit: thanks Marc for your response, but it seems like a waste that you would tell me about the 7 day policy more than 7 days after my service, when I can't even avail it :/ besides, my hair is already shorter than I wanted, not sure how you would go about fixing it without cutting it further. Can we work out some other way?

    Brande made my hair look so good!!! Right before the new year she highlighted my hair perfectly, with money pieces and babylights in the back. So happy with the results!

    Highlights

    Brande did my highlights and was super sweet and accommodating!! She did her best to work over my previously (unfortunately) box dyed hair and was able to lift it to a pretty light color. She paid a lot of attention to detail and I left with my hair feeling healthy

    Brande is amazing! She cut, styled, and colored my teenage daughter's hair perfectly. I can't remember my daughter smiling so much after a haircut before. She gave it two thumbs up and texted pictures to all her friends who loved it as well.

    Long hair cut by Le!

    I found Le through Tiktok and decided to try Bishops out. LE IS A HAIR WIZARD!!! For context, my hair was long, moppy, brittle, and thin. I wish I had a before picture! She made my hair look so bouncy, thick, and healthy--didn't even know it was possible! I cannot recommend booking with Le enough. The staff at this Bishops location were also very sweet and accommodating. I will be recommending Bishops and Le to all my friends and family! I cannot wait for next haircut.

    OMG!! I love it!!! I had baby highlights and tone up my red base hair color and a fresh cut with Brandi. She did mine soooo quick and I had a really amazing experience there!! Totally worth it!!

    Ask the Community - Bishops Cuts/Color

    Would getting bangs (not a trim) be considered a short or long cut?

    Hi there! If your hair is above your earlobes, that's a short cut. If your hair is below your earlobes, that's a long cut. If all want is to create a straight line of bangs, without any layering or face framing, that's a bang trim. Hope that helps!… 

    I was hoping to schedule a cut for myself and my bf's daughter. We both have waist length hair and want just a trim and some long layers added in. Booking online, would the long cut be the option to choose?

    Hi yes , that would be considered a long cut.

    How much does it cost for Haircut and partial Balayage?

    I'm assuming your hair is beyond your ear lobes so that would cost $51 but it’s pretty hard to estimate color services without seeing and feeling the hair. Plus we need to get a better idea of what you're really looking for. This is why we always… 

    How much is for the hair extensions?

    Sorry but we do not offer that service at our shop but feel free to stop by if you’re looking for some color, styling or a haircut.

    Does Bishops do Bayalage?

    Yes, we do all types of hair coloring services and especially love to do balayage coloring since it allows the client to enjoy their hair color for a longer time before touch-ups are needed.

    Do you offer hair cuts for kids?

    Yes, we have booster seats and child-friendly aprons for them. We'll also perform the service with an adult in the chair holding the child if requested -- getting a haircut is sometimes scary so a parents' embrace is comforting. The pricing is the… 

    How much is a men's haircut?

    Hi Anthony! A men’s haircut is $39. We have great professional staff, including a barber, to help you with whatever look you’re trying to achieve.

    How much would it be to color short hair, one color?

    It really depends what on your hair and the stylist. You will have to go in for a consultation (which I think is free. If not it should be)

    How much are highlights here?

    Highlights start at $90 but the total is dependent on how much hair you have and whether or not you need toner. Please stop by any time for a free consultation to give a more accurate estimate.

They also gave me a water bottle and an arm rest when I sat in the chair for my cut. My hair was washed, cut, and styled. My layers, face framing pieces, and bangs look a lot more balanced and refreshed. I appreciate that he didn't thin out my hair too much as requested and he always checked in with me before working on different parts of my hair. I'm still happy with how my hair looks after washing it. I'll definitely be coming back. There's a free parking garage nearby with a limited number of parking spots but I didn't have difficulty finding a spot since I came on a weekday afternoon.

Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client.
