Bishops Cut and Color Beauty Franchise

Build a Creative, Community-Driven Business with a Proven Salon Franchise

Founded in 2001, Bishops set out to transform the haircare industry by creating a modern, inclusive salon experience that bridges the gap between premium salons and budget haircut chains. Today, Bishops offers franchisees a proven executive, semi-absentee business model that has been refined over more than 20 years, making it possible to own a business without requiring prior experience in the haircare industry.

A Business Designed for Growth

Bishops combines a low-tech operating model with low inventory requirements and no accounts receivable, helping keep operations straightforward. Labour scales alongside revenue, while a dedicated national recruiter assists franchisees in attracting talented stylists. Owners also benefit from flexible local marketing support, complimentary creative assets from an in-house art department, and a manager-run model that allows for part-time or full-time ownership involvement.

"Being in the Portland market, knowing what the brand was and knowing Leo, it just felt like a no-brainer. Even in the hair industry, a lot of the other brands aren’t as interesting as Bishops is." — Kitty Foote
