"After seven years as a stylist, Regis has given me only disdain for my career."
What do you like about working at Regis Corp.?
"Opportunities to win prizes (including trips with paid flight and hotel). Depending on management, work environment can be fairly relaxed."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Do not expect benefits within the first two years of employment. Be prepared to work in an environment with very high turnover and management that may mean well, but constantly have their hands tied when it comes to improving work conditions or handling the lack of resources. Plan for about two weeks before receiving a response when it comes to any matters that would normally be handled by an HR department."
What don't you like about working at Regis Corp.?
"Benefits for salon employees scrape by as barely acceptable. Compensation for salon workers is meager at best -- base pay rings in near minimum wage with the promise of bonuses based on goals that are mostly unattainable when working full-time hours. Yearly reviews are often forgotten by management and, when missed, compensation is not made (a two percent raise over two years is a high average). Staff that strive to render quality services are limited by pricing structure, and are urged to increase store head count over personal ticket average. Paid continuing education is touted as a perk, but the education itself is a thinly guised attempt at training salon professionals into shoddier work practices. Advertisement for many of the salon brands shys away from promoting big ticket services, leaving the hard sell completely up to the stylist. No HR."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Hire middle management with both business and salon experience. It is very obvious that lower management selection criteria are high sales volume and standardized personality assessment. Lower management that do show ambition and potential are quickly stifled by lack of support and resources. Salon locations, even as they are slowly being remodeled, are suffering aesthetically by visual branding restrictions. Marketing and education need to refocus on quality and attention to detail in order to increase ticket averages rather than head count."

"The salon is no longer in business. If it were, as in any salon, putting forth a good image by being current in hair and clothing fashion is something that is a must in this business!"
