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.

Regis is part of the largest hair salon chain in the world.

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.

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.

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.

I went to Regis for the first time and I was totally happy! My stylist went to Regis and I went with her. The color is so much better there and I love the new shampoo I got! I am completely satisfied there. I guess you have to trust your stylist!

Regis at the mall at Robinson is pathetic. My 14 yo daughter cried when we left there. I took her in there for a hair cut and color. When Rachel was done with her hair it looked terrible. First of all they said it will be $130.00 for her cut and color, and highlights. However they charged me $167.00. Her hair is very short to begin with so I dont know why it cost so much. She left there with hair color all over her face and her brand new white shirt (they never asked her to take off her shirt ) I was with her the entire time. I took a picture of the back of her hair it is so uneven I could of done a better job and i don't even know how to cut hair. Rachel said to me I am so sorry I got color on your daughters shirt i will take something off your total which she did take $10.00 off but she charged me for the chemical that she used to put on my daughters shirt. So she was making it look like she took something off however she put it o first then removed it to make herself look good.My husband called that 952.947.7777 and they told him that they will either fix her hair or replace the 30.00 for the cut and that we will have to mail the shirt to them and they will determine if they want to pay to replace it. Why in the heck will I take my daughter back to them to get her hair fixed when they messed it up the first time. They do not know what the HELL they are doing there.

I don't know if all the bad stylists went to every other state but mine but I have never had a bad experience at my Regis salon! I have had many different stylists do my hair( cutting, coloring, highlighting, you name it) and everyone have been helpful, polite, and professional. The last time I got my hair colored it was a little darker then I expected but it lightens up so no big deal. If you've never been to a regis salon and are shopping around for a place to go don't be scared off by all these negative comments! Its not fair to base your opinion on someone elses try them out for yourself, go get a consultation first and see if they fit the bill! Regis Rocks!
