Bishops Barbershop
By Seattle Mag June 7, 2013
The men of Seattle have a new place to get gussied up. Bishops Barbershop, a Portland-based mini-chain opened their first Seattle location downtown this week.

The owner of this hip, affordable salon, Leo Rivera, was born and raised in Seattle, and opened the first of his 13 locations in southeast Portland in 2001.
