Regis Hair Salons
From LoveToKnow Hair
Regis hair salons are a common sight in malls, shopping centers, and other popular areas. Before setting up an appointment at a salon simply because it is widespread, however, clients should investigate what types of services and expertise they can expect.
About Regis Hair Salons
These commonplace boutiques are part of the Regis Corporation, a publicly traded company (NYSE: RGS) founded in 1923 and today based in Edina, Minnesota. Together, the salons form the largest chain in the world with more than 11,000 properties not only in the United States, but also in Canada, Puerto Rico, France, Italy, Germany, and other locations throughout Europe. In addition to the familiar Regis name, the corporation owns and operates Trade Secret, Supercuts, Mia & Maxx, and MasterCuts salons, and in 2005 it acquired the Hair Club for Men and Women to focus on hair loss and restoration.
Services
Regis hair salons provide both basic and advanced hair styling services, including:
- Hair cuts and trims for men, women, teens, and children.
- Washing and conditioning treatments.
- Specialty styles such as updos and other special occasion looks.
- Basic and advanced styles for long, short, or medium length hair of any texture.
- Coloring services in an unlimited range of shades.
Unlike true beauty salons, Regis does not offer spa-like treatments such as manicures, pedicures, or massages, but they are widely recognized as experts in all manner of hair styles and hair services.
Hair Care Products
Several types of hair products are only available through reputable salons, and Regis boutiques carry many popular brands, including Tigi, Redken, Biolage, and Paul Mitchell products. Furthermore, Regis’s commitment to excellence has led it to develop an exclusive house line of products, including shampoos, conditioners, and styling products for different types of hair and hair care needs. The Regis DesignLine includes products for straight or curly hair, repairing damaged hair, volumizing, smoothing, hydrating, thermal protection, and styling, including mousses and spray for finishing a gorgeous style.
Professionalism and Education in Regis Hair Salons
As a world leader in hair salons, Regis is dedicated to providing clients with the latest trends and fabulous looks. The company offers free monthly trend and technique training sessions for its stylists to guarantee that they can match any hot look a client might request. Annually, the company spends more than $16 million on training to ensure that its stylists are continually updated and capable of accommodating any request. The Regis Corporation also operates more than 50 beauty schools offering a range of different degrees and specializations for interested cosmetology students.
Visiting Regis
The first step to visiting Regis hair salons is to locate one. The website, www.regissalons.com, offers a comprehensive salon locator, and many Regis salons are located in malls, grocery centers (Regis is the largest chain associated with WalMart), and open-air shopping pavilions. Patrons are always welcome to come in for a free consultation – a courteous service that can help individuals decide on a new style, determine how to repair damage, or just experiment with new looks. Because of the company’s proclivity, appointments are not generally required, though they may be wise if a specific stylist or time is necessary (before prom, for example).
As with any visit to a salon, it is best to have some basic ideas about what style you are interested in. When consulting with a Regis stylist, however, remember the extensive training and expertise they are equipped with, and collaborate with them to find the best look for you.
With more than 160 million customers annually, Regis hair salons are the most widespread salon chain in the world. For any basic or specialty hair service, customers are certain to find only the best stylists at Regis to help them create an exceptional look.
