Bishops Cuts & Color

BISHOPS fills a long-standing gap in the industry: not a chop shop, not overpriced luxury, and never at
the expense of quality. For more than 20 years, the brand has been rooted in community, supporting
local nonprofits and giving back at the neighborhood level. From an ownership perspective, BISHOPS
operates as an executive model or owner-operator model—over 75% of franchisees work fewer than 10
hours per week by hiring a manager to oversee daily operations, allowing owners to focus on growth,
other interests, or life beyond the shop.
WHY Bishops?
Strong stylist recruiting support helping owners build talented service teams.
Scalable salon model designed for efficient operations and team-based environments.
Established brand recognition within modern haircare and lifestyle service categories.
OUR IDEAL FRANCHISEE
Ideal owners enjoy working with creative teams, value strong relationships, and are motivated by community involvement.
No prior experience in the hair or beauty industry is required.
Management experience is a plus, but success is driven by strong communication skills, leadership, and a passion for building people.
