Stan was absolutely amazing! He gave our son his very first haircut and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was so patient, kind, and gentle with him, and made the whole experience so special for us. We are beyond grateful we got to have Stan as our son's first barber. He made such a big milestone even more memorable, and we truly appreciate how great he was with our little guy. Thank you, Stan! We will definitely be back! read more

Dawn was amazing. She gave my kid a perfect long pixie that matches their face, air dries perfectly, and my kid is so so happy with it. It was also easy to make the appointment. read more

I tried 3 of them so far at Bishops. Ana is the worst by far! Brutal handling, she did a rough "cut" in 10 minutes, burned my skin with the hair drier and brutalized me on the shampoo. Stay away from her! read more

Stan was very personable and had great knowledge on trying a new hairstyle. Overall great vibe and friendly atmosphere. Will be coming back!

i went there for a hair color. my scalp started burning so much! that has never happened to me before. for color i do not recommend them. i did not try their hair cut read more

Just needed a quick wash and blow dry done and was very satisfied with the process! Staff are super friendly and even offer drinks while you wait. As a black woman with 4c hair, I'm always nervous about going to new hair places, but Anna took great care of me. I'll definitely be coming back when I need another wash done! read more

Let me just say if you want short hair this is the place to go. I just wanted an A symmetrical hair cut to my already short hair I did not want to lose more than like an inch or two. But now I look like Big Boo from Orange is the new black. Yeah they told me I could go back in 7 days but you can't add more hair to the layers you took off. I am just heart broken. I am just over getting hair cut. However nice the styles were by trying to tell me I look great I still feel terrible and it would have been better to have the crappy hair I had before because at least I had layers. I wished I had that beer now because then I could have chopped it up to being buzzed why when I kept seeing hair leaving after I said yeah that is a good length I didn't say anything but the answer was I am just thinning out ur hair cutting the dead off. So again if you want really short or have really short hair this is the place to go, if you have any length even medium bob this is not the place. I wanted long pixie I got 3 inch in long layer. The green hair is what I wanted (yes showed pictures & talked about it) the black hair looking like Big Boo is what I got read more

The service in Lrvine Center Jon was awesome I love my cut and blowout ***** I very much had a men do my hair before

I had my haircut with Bethany and it was one of the best haircuts I've had. Bethany truly took the time to look at and listened to what I wanted (soft, blended layers, with movement). She was so easy to talk to and nailed the haircut! I will definitely be going back to see her for my next hair appt (= Women's cut was $55. read more

Good customer service - polite, listened to needs and requests and then delivered as needed.

Let me preface this by saying that I was a walk in, and this was a little while back so I'm not sure if the stylist is still at this location. My usual stylist was booked and I needed my roots touched up for an event that week. I walked in after work and there was one stylist there. She said she was new and had come from a barber background, which I thought was perfect at the time coz I had an undercut that also needed some attention. My hair was also permed curly/wavy so I asked if she was familiar with my hair type because I've had bad experiences in the past. She said she was and we got to it. The trim for my undercut was probably the only thing that went right. She tried dry brushing my wavy hair... obv it was difficult dry and it became clear to me she was not actually familiar with anything but straight hair or maybe just men's hair. She kept pulling the brush down from the root and it was not pleasant. She did my roots haphazardly and left me for a while and I had to try to find her coz my scalp was burning. She washed my hair, and again tried brushing it out from the root (please stop). My skin on my forehead and ears were all stained from the dye too because she didn't apply the jelly/cream stuff to prevent it and tried scrubbing it off my skin... didn't work. I was so upset, but I hate confrontation and didn't want to be rude. But it was the biggest shit show I've ever had at a salon. My hair was still wet as I was walking to pay at the counter and they actually asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I'm literally tearing, forehead and ears still stained and raw from the scrubbing. I'm socially anxious so I think I actually left 10% coz I felt pressured. I came to Bishop coz of the inclusive environment it seemed to promote but I'm still too traumatized to go back. Maybe only go here if you need a simple cut or something read more

Bethany is the best! This was the second time I've come to her for a haircut and it was everything I wanted and more! I will definitely be coming back :) read more

Juanita did an updo for me with braids and it turned out really lovely. Not only that but she did it quickly and she wasn't super talkative which was honestly a relief for me, I don't enjoy talking a lot generally speaking. Instead, she was polite and more focused on her work which I appreciate. I will definitely come back if I need styling. Great price too read more

The A.I planning our appointment has cancelled my appointment and them makes a new one for 315 we come 2m late and don't let us in. I hate this place. read more

Where to begin? My husband and my 2 boys had to get their haircuts done because I have been dealing with my mom being in the hospital for weeks. So my boys hair grew out and I was unable to fade them up myself like I normally would... See pics for finished haircut on my older son. 1 star for doing a somewhat decent fade on my youngest. My husbands cut is just as bad as my older son's... $35 each for this crap. This will be the first and last time here. Go in for a fade but got a "faded" stylist perhaps. Ugh. Frustrating to say the least. Watch out for Rosa. She was the stylist. Or, go at your own risk. read more

Alright so as we are coming out of this panini, I started to look for a place to get my hair cut and eventually color. I had been shaving my sides since 2019 on my own and wanted to get my hair done professionally so looked into some places and came across Bishops! I have found my dream team here! Linda is ABSOLUTEY amazing with my haircut and this review is long overdue as I've been coming for 7 months and EVERY TIME my haircut is perfect literally flawless ! Not only is my haircut by her perfect every time, Linda has an awesome personality and I'm able to relax while getting my haircut which is so nice as I've had some bad experiences in my past with having thick hair. So after coming for these amazing haircuts I thought heh let's mix it up and get my hair dyed! I've got white hairs coming in so thought let's do silver! Emily took such good care of me in explaining what she needed to do to get to silver and keeping great communication along this journey of taking my dark hair to silver! I've had my roots touched up also since having my hair done and again FLAWLESS execution by Emily !! She was able to color correct my hair to get the correct silver and it came out perfectly! Linda and Emily are truly my dream team! I look forward to my appointments and getting to relax knowing my hair is in good hands with these talented individuals! Aside from my experience with the services I've received, the team overall here is amazing. Their customer service is srsly unparalleled. I had my haircut at a different Bishops location and sadly did not get the haircut I was asking for so scheduled a couple days later to get my hair fixed and this was how I met Linda. She let me know of their 7 day policy which I was surprised but happy with. Not only was she able to save my hair, but also was not charged! The team here at Bishops truly does care, and strives to give you the best and make sure you are happy. That means so much and I've never experienced that at other hair salons. Bishops is such an amazing place the vibe, customer, service, and skilled people are it's all the perfect place for your hair needs ! read more

I needed to look for a new barber since I recently moved further south and my old one was now a bit too far for me. I researched and found Bishops, and reached out via Yelp and they recommended Linda. Linda is now the only barber I will go to. She is consistent with each cut. Very attentive, and always makes sure you are satisfied with the look before leaving. It's hard to find a good barber, let alone one that is comfortable doing short hair on women. Bishops is rad, and everyone there is mega friendly and welcoming. I can't imagine going to another place now! Thank you! read more

I had my hair cut by Rosa today. I was recommended here by the Orange County subreddit after doing some research, and Bishops has a new customer. Wow my hair was SO dead because of covid. I haven't cut it in a year and a whole 5-6 inches needed to be chopped off. Rosa was SO sweet and SO nice and fun to talk to while still being very professional and understanding, it was like catching up with an old friend. She did such an amazing job and my hair feels and looks healthy again. I was suffering from months of tangles and dead hair and now I feel happy and free!!! Definitely will be back! Thanks so much for the cut read more

Maxx gave me the Lloyd Christmas haircut from Dumb and Dumber. Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about. If I didn't know any better I'd say he's playing a prank or I pissed him off. He finished off the haircut by spraying water down my back while washing my hair. All this after making me wait 30 minutes past my appointment time. It was bad! read more

FYI to guys, this is not a Barber shop. Do not come here expecting for a clean fade or skin fade if there isn't a Barber there at the time. A Hair stylist turned me away as she refused to cut my hair because she explained that she was not a Barber. She did offer me to make an appointment but I won't be coming back. Thanks. read more

We read all the reviews about this salon and especially Sabra and drove from SD to get my son a special haircut. It was completely worth every mile and penny. Sabra made sure she knew exactly what he wanted and then exceeded his expectations. He's so happy and ready to start middle school with his new look!! Thank you for making my kid so happy! read more

I went for a walk in I asked politely for a haircut and the lady I think the manager with pink hair was rude and stand off ish and then switched up and was nice to get me to come back to give them money. I did because I needed the haircut, but never going back. Learn how to treat your customers with respect from the get go you're an adult. read more

Juanita did a great job with my haircut. She took a lot of care to make sure the cut was symmetrical and that lines were clean. She also helped me add texture to my hair when I asked for it. I really like the way my hair turned out. read more

Hello, my dear friends. I'd like to share an experience I had on Saturday at Bishops Salon. I booked an appointment for a haircut and beard trim at 3:45. When I arrived, the lady at the salon said she had other appointments. I mentioned that I had already booked an appointment, and she said she would take care of me afterward. She started my haircut, but it was clear she was hesitant. Halfway through, she said she couldn't do the beard trim because she didn't have enough time. I asked how she could leave the job half done, so she reluctantly continued. The result was the worst haircut I've ever had. She was unprofessional and untrained. I'm not sure how management hired her. To make matters worse, I was charged for a deluxe service, which was priced differently during the booking. I really don't understand how this business is running. I would never recommend this place. read more

I stopped by today to try out this brand new salon! According to the staff, this Bishops location opened 4 days ago! Bishops caters to all ages and all genders! The first thing I noticed is the clean, modern look this salon has. The staff was very friendly and I feel like almost all of them greeted me. Marina did a great job chopping off my dead ends which is exactly what I wanted! She was also friendly and gentle. I was offered a water or beer while getting my hair cut, which seems to be what the other Bishops locations do. The beer comes from the Left Coast brewery next door. A detailed list of services and prices are available online! A long cut (hair below earlobe) is $35, short cut (hair above earlobe) is $29. Many other services are offered such as beard trims, bang trims, color, highlights, etc. Select hair products are available for purchase, including Suavecito stuff! Overall, I had a great first impression of Bishops! I am satisfied with my simple haircut, the staff was great, I enjoyed the hip hop music videos from the waiting area, and I appreciated the beverage offerings. I look forward to getting my next cut here! read more

Usually I get good service, but Maxx was very rude and argumentative when I came in and tried to explain what I was looking for. It would have been fine if what I wanted wouldn't have worked, but the attitude wasn't worth it. I won't be booking Maxx again. read more

Bishops - Deluxe Beard Cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

Booked an appointment for a long hair cut 12-09-23 I've asked the hair dresser to wash my hair I guess because my hair was super long she didn't want to do it she sprayed something and kind of blow dry my hair. No-one ever had cut my hair dry in my life! I asked her to get a V shape layered cut even showed her a picture but no! She did whatever was convenient to her. Hairdresser need to listen to the clients if I ask for a freaking wash do it it's your job if not get out of the business she had to re-cut my hair cause wasn't what I ask for V shape she give me a U shape and she got upset I end up with a shorter length. Linda S probably don't care about this post but that's ok no more $20 dollars tip in your pocket never going back to her. I'm so mad oh well read more

Excellent vibes and service. Chas was my stylist and did a phenomenal job. I'll definitely be back.

Came here for haircut. Sevren was awesome! He took care of me, gave a beautiful trim. Loved the conversation and the vibe. Will definitely come back! read more

For me, there is no question Emily T. is the GOAT! She is a true artist and master of hair color. She knows exactly how to customize my blond to make it work for me. I've gotten more complements than ever on my hair since I've been going to Emily. I even got one this past week before going to get it redone! It still looked just amazing!! I also can't say enough good things about this place. The owner and the entire staff are fantastic, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend Emily and this wonderful location in Irvine! read more

I went there two days ago for my husband's hair cut, he had a great haircut from TANIA.. she was very patient and friendly especially with my husband who is very choosy about his hair. Thanks Tania read more

Sara did an incredible job coloring my hair! I usually get anxious when I get my hair dyed, as I've never really had a good experience. However, Sara's professional demeanor and friendly attitude immediately made me trust her. I would recommend this place based on my experience with Sara alone, but some other things stood out: (1) Facilities: Contemporary, clean, and inviting. Walking in, I immediately felt at home (the free beer didn't hurt ). It's the perfect setting for your hair transformation or routine cut/style. I've never been to a salon that looks like this! (2) Excellent Staff: As I mentioned, Sara did an amazing job. Coryn, an assistant/intern helped her and made the experience fun! I couldn't help but notice how friendly the staff were towards each other; they all seem to be having fun and care about their clients which is always a good sign to me! (3) Environment: I spent 3 hours here and enjoyed every second of it! The pleasant hum of chatter and music, combined with the steady flow of happy customers made this a nice place to be. I was initially skeptical of the overwhelming amount of 5-star reviews, especially for a 1-year-old location, but I get it now! Changing your hairstyle can be an uncomfortable, vulnerable, or just plain inconvenient experience. I think Bishops has turned it into something you can look forward to. Needles to say, I'll be coming back! read more

Making any appointment 10AM on a Saturday morning wouldn't have been my first choice (sleeping in is!), but the Bishops team totally made it worth it this morning! Though I walked through their doors with total bedhead dressed in slippers and sandals - my classic IDGAFudge look - I was welcomed with cheery vibes by their wonderful team members and thanks to the appointment, they helped get the haircut going right away. Blanca was my hair stylist and she definitely earns a 6/5 stars! I asked her to chop off a few inches so that my hair was back to its shoulder-length bob and she executed it beautifully! There was no long strand left behind and she even took the extra step to straighten my hair afterwards so that I looked more chic than usual LOL. Not only did she give me the haircut I've been waiting for since pre pandemic days, but she was an amazing energy! She was a pleasure to talk to as she took the time to know me asking about this and that (and no, she wasn't being nosy) so I felt like I was talking to a friend! And when you have fun, time passes by faster so sooner than I knew it, the haircut was complete! Blanca made my first haircut in a long while an enjoyable experience so ask for her if you have a chance to visit. Though the pricing for short hair is $29 and long hair is $35, I actually booked my appointment via Classpass and paid with credits early so it was a seamless experience. No payment was necessary at the store since the Classpass credits took care of it previously. If you follow the same process and book via Classpass, don't forget to tip though! This awesome team deserves the recognition for making Bishops a salon I and other regulars will keep returning to! 'Till next time! read more

Attempted to send this to bishops on their contact us, but their contact us site is designed to make it impossible. Went here to get a haircut. I've gone here multiple times. I've had one bad experience in the past, not related to the actual cut, but the staff generally being oblivious (had an appointment, showed up, checked in, the person checking in went on break, the rest of the barbers stood around gossiping for 30 minutes instead of doing anything. After 30 mins of listening to their gossip, I got up, told them I had an appoint half an hour ago and left). Otherwise typically I have had good experiences here. Aug. 3., I had scheduled an appoint through google for a short cut on Aug. 4 at 330 with a specific barber. I got a call the morning of Aug. 4 telling me that barber was unavailable, but they had another barber who had time. I chose the barber I did intentionally, but I also needed to get my hair cut so I said that's fine, and moved it to later in the day (530 pm) as I had things pile up from work. Aug. 4, 5:25 pm I show up, I am going to be getting a short cut ($29), I say I want it cleaned up and business like, this is how I part my hair, and I need the back cleaned up. It's what I say every time I've gone here and gotten my hair cut, and have never really had a problem. I had a hat crease on the back, but it's never really been a problem before. The barber starts cutting my hair (spraying it down with water and using the trimmers on the sides), seems pretty standard, except at no time am I facing the mirror at the station instead only the station across the room (15 feet away). At the time I didn't think anything of it. After trimming up everything she briefly showed the mirror to show me the back moving the mirror while showing so I didn't get a good look at the back. I asked her to adjust the back and her response was that is the best she was going to be able to do. Assuming that since it had only been 10 minutes since I sat down, that she was going to continuing cutting the rest of my hair and would go back to even everything up (sideburns to beard, around the tops of the ears, and such, I wasn't took worried. She asked if I wanted my neck shaved and I said sure, thinking this would be at the end. I didn't realize she was saying she was done. The short cut is supposed to be about 45 mins, but I suppose it can be done quicker, and this barber got it done quicker. 15 minutes after I sat down I was done. I asked her to fix the back, which I am now going to have to find someone to fix it before Saturday, and she said there was nothing she could do. This is the only time at this or any other barber where they have essentially not cut and shaped the back. I can't tell if this is because they have high turnover and low training on their barbers or if I just got a barber who was inexperienced or was just having a bad day, but the haircut was horrible. I strongly recommend against going to at least this Bishops location, there is another one across town by UCI or a number of other barbers throughout Irvine. The area is located is nice, the shop is kept clean, they have a number of products, and typically offer beer/drinks when you arrive (not this time, but in prior visits), but everything else from this experience is horrible. read more

Had an AMAZING haircut by Sabra at the Bishops in East Irvine. I hadn't cut my hair in over a year and it was down to my mid-back. I had an undercut which I had been self-maintaining at home with clippers, a mirror and a prayer. I was ready to let go of my long locks and embrace something shorter at around my undercut's grown-out length. The facility was clean, well appointed with great music playing and which made me feel at home. Sabra asked me for what I was looking for and I admittedly just leaned in and told her an approximate length, but I was happy with whatever. She offered up a cute asymmetrical bob -- I was gung-ho and on fire for the dream. A shampoo, a big cut and a lot of layers and texture added (under an hour later, I might add), I had an amazing haircut I was so happy and grateful for. It's been 4 days since my haircut and I continuously earn compliments from strangers, friends, and family alike. Sabra was so wonderful and inclusive and listened to my ex-stylist woes. She took her time and poured love and care into my cut. I WILL be coming back to Bishops -- and YOU, yeah YOU, reading this review! You should, too! read more
