Bishops Cuts/Color in Issaquah, WA

The hairstylist was friendly and bubbly but left my hair looking like a boy band style from the mid 90"s I have a pixie and it honestly looks ridiculous I need to find another barber shop that'll do what I want and only that. Thankfully my hair grows out within a few weeks to cover the many mistakes. It's starting to feel like a Great Clips were you have to go someplace else to repair the train wreck they caused I apparently haven't convinced myself enough to switch to another shop but this time I'm gonna try Rudy's

I had a haircut with Megan on Wed, 12/6/2023. I had long hair and decided to cut it short due to severe postpartum hair loss. I showed her pictures of the cut that I wanted. I was given several short layers and told she did this to avoid the look of boxy hair. Now, my hair looks like it was done in the 80s. By the way, how many layers and the length of them were not discussed with me. So obviously I was surprised by the outcome. I am not the kind of person who immediately confronts someone. I also like to style my hair a couple of times before I form an opinion. It's been a month and a half of styling my hair in several different ways, nothing fits right. When I look at myself in the mirror, I think of how many months it'd take me to grow it all out and get the hair evened. For a person with severe postpartum hair loss, losing hair itself is a trauma, and on top of that, a haircut this bad is just traumatizing.

12/18/2022 Update: So, it's taken me a while to update my review again as I've been really frustrated and didn't know what exactly to say... So, after having my hair "fixed" at Bishops on 10/26, inside the shop it looked decent, this is where I wrote my review. However in the sunlight my hair was still yellow. I opted not to go and spend several more hours at Bishops to have it "fixed" again. At that point, I realized that they weren't going to get my roots platinum. Over the next couple of weeks, the more I shampooed it, the more yellow it got. The toner was washing out revealing a more intense yellow tone while my ends were still platinum (and mushy). No one has reached out to me regarding any conditioning treatments which I was promised. (The regional/district manager initially reached out to me promising "as many conditioning treatments as necessary" to get my hair healthy again. *See my first review below*) I have since dyed my hair brown so it can grow out since it quite literally cannot be re-bleached due to the significant damage. *Keep in mind, I paid over $230 for these services and was told they won't refund my money regardless of the outcome. I am so incredibly frustrated with this entire situation and I would definitely recommend going elsewhere. 10/26/2022 Update: Today Cassandra (the manager of this Bishops) redid my hair. My hair seems to look much better and it feels much better. She used an oil based bleach that was gentle to lift out the yellow tone and not damage my hair further, she also trimmed off a bit of the really damaged and uneven hair. As it stands, I will be going back to her for my root touch-ups and haircuts in the future. 10/24/2022 UPDATE: A Bishops regional manager reached out to me in response to an email I sent them. They wont refund my money, but are going to try to fix the yellow tone and have offered complimentary conditioning treatments for the damaged ends. 10/22/2022 One star: I had an appointment for a bleach and tone for my roots yesterday. I watched as the stylist overlapped the bleach over my previously bleached hair. She left me sitting for 2.5 hours then toned me twice at the sink. When I sat back down in the chair, she said she was going to give me a "complimentary haircut", but I could see that my hair had broken off where the bleach had been overlapped. I agreed for her to just to shape it up and to make it blend but she cut it so short (I think to camouflage the fact that she messed up and my hair was broken off with parts still breaking off). I told the stylist that I wasn't happy with my hair. They made me pay full price and had a really bad attitude with me. They said they would "fix" my hair for free... My hair is at least two inches shorter than when I went in, keep in mind I was not there for a haircut at all and now it has a dingy yellow tone. The ends that didn't break off are so damaged, my hair feels like mush when it's wet, and when dry those end pieces are breaking off. I paid over $230 for this service.

It's a great place to go. The only reason why I'm not going 5 stars is cos they recently changed their pet policy (one stupid chihuahua and a Karen had to ruin the fun for EVERYONE) and that the talent is a bit on a revolving door. If you find someone (I recommend KJ) who lasts, lock them down and pay them well. Still, I'd go to this place over any generic barber place 10/10 times. The complimentary beer while you wait is just A+

They did a bad job on my hair. They tried, but it did not pass the test. Would not go back there again and, obviously no referrals.
