With 16 years of success in the Pacific Northwest under their belt, Portland, Oregon-based Bishops Cuts / Color has embarked on an extensive national expansion program that now includes Columbus, Ohio.

Bishops, a co-ed hair salon who describes themselves as offering “on-demand, on-trend hair care at affordable prices with a street style aesthetic” will be opening its first location in the Midwest in Clintonville, a trendy neighborhood in the heart of Columbus just north of The Ohio State University’s campus.

They join the recently-opened second location of Columbus staple Hot Chicken Takeover in a brand new multi-tenant retail center at the southwest corner of High Street and Deland Avenue. Bishops will occupy a 1,330 SF space with 10 retro-style barber chairs. Their grand opening will be on Saturday August 5, 2017.

Bishops Cuts / Color currently has 14 locations in Greater Portland, Oregon, 3 in Seattle, Washington, and one in Tempe, Arizona. The company will also open a location in San Diego, California this September.
