Mall Salon
Manager/Stylist (Former Employee), Kokomo, IN – May 15, 2013
Pros: working with others, meeting new people
Cons: my management kept changing and i never had anyone when i had issues
I started at Regis right after school and after a year left due to having my first son. They then reached out to me a year later asking if I would be interested in a Management position. This is where i really started learning what it was like to have a staff under me, which i loved. This salon really needed some guidance and I was happy to step up. – more... There is something with young girls and stylist who like to show up late and be no shows, which is a hard part, but it also makes you completely respect your supervisors. I have learned the value of being on time and working to the fullest. – less

Well-known industry name...for a reason...
Master Stylist (Former Employee), Katy, TX – May 8, 2013
Regis is a well-known name in the industry, and I see why now, for both the good and the bad.

Management and co-workers are what I found most difficult, but that is typical in this industry. They were impersonal and generic to both clients and co-workers.

The most enjoyable part was the job itself and the clients. I never know who needs a complete – more... uplift and how my words and actions could completely alter someone's day. I have the chance to be a turnaround point in someone's day, and I love it. – less

once it was the best place to work but no longer
past employee (Former Employee), many – February 27, 2013
Pros: great field staff
Cons: terrible and uncaring upper management in head office
unfair to long term hard working and dedicated employees!! The main office needs to remember the field staff has been out there in the field most long timers and they know what they are doing, the lack of trust is ridiculous and if they really want to be a success they need to take their lead from them!!! The lack of trust and interest they have for – more... the field leaders is so wrong!!!! – less

tress – March 6, 2013

i quit my salon management job.. it always seemed that with every new district manager came new rules and nothing in black and white to go on.. or to work with.. i worked my butt off trying to get sales gains.. july had a 7.6 percent ! .. but the rude harrasment i was getting i will no longer tolerate.. and i think this corportation needs to be carefull of that simply because there will be a class action against this idea of leadership and they will pay it.. and not forward like they keept telling me

Corporate Hair Salon
Cosmetologist (Former Employee), Desloge, MO – February 11, 2013
Pros: flexibility in scheduling
Cons: fluctuation in pay
Through out my day I would assist customers with achieving their personal appearance goals. I would keep a clean work environment that exceeded the Cosmetology board's requirements. Every night that I would close the store I would record the daily earning and make cash deposites to the bank.

Worst place I've ever worked for.
manager (Former Employee), Boise, Idaho – February 2, 2013
Pros: living and leasing my own station.
Cons: that this company is still in business.
I worked for this corp for 9yr.s and four of those were as a manager. It went from ok to worse. When I first started it was commission based and you actually had a chance to make 50% if you hit the right goal which they would continually raise if they thought it was becoming too easy for you. Then they switched from that to minimum wage.With a chance – more... to make a quarter an hour more if you hit a curtin service per hour goal on a sliding scale and went up about a quarter when ever you did a little more per hour. Giving the illusions that you might make some actual money. (I was grandfathered in on the commission.) However the stylist I hired received the new pay rate. The only problem was if after so many months they weren't making more then minimum wage no matter how slow the salon might be, we were to write them up and threaten their job if they didn't bring their service sales up and when the stylists would start doing well we were encouraged to hire more. Which made it almost impossible for the stylist to keep their numbers up. And if they weren't able to keep their numbers up we were told to cut their hours. Which may not seem bad but for someone who just went through $18000 worth of schooling and with that much if not more to pay off it's devastating. I decided after four yrs of this I no longer wanted to be manager and stepped down as manager. Which would have been fine except after 9 yrs they decided that they would give my schedule to someone who had been their less time then me by more than half. When I confronted my area manager about it she tried to brush me off. So I told her if I can't have schedule I've earned then I'd give my two weeks notice. She said will that be as of today. It didn't even take me a second to think about it if that's the way I was to be treated after the work I put in for them. Then "Yes that'll be as of today." This company does not care about anyone and if it was the last salons on earth I would sooner work in a manure factory collecting the manure with my own lips. At least I would know where the next pile was coming from. Ps I made more then 1/3 of that salons profits a month for them when I left. Out of a total of 5 stylist. I checked. ;-) – less

Worst job I have ever had
Stylist (no longer work there) (Former Employee), York,pa – January 30, 2013
Pros: the only pros were the other employees i worked with
Cons: everything about the job was a con
The company is a joke..... They say they offer continuing Ed. But all it is, are videos from 2004, the management sucked, she was mean to everyone, talked bad about you to her clients, would try to write you up for doing things she did herself, the benefits sucked and were to expensive. I could go on and on.....

Would never work there again!!!
Salon manager (Former Employee), Ohio – January 22, 2013
Cons: everything you can think of
Was employed for 12 years with a Mastercuts. 7 yrs as a manager. Did not get any support from district when it came to call offs that happened all the time. They are not a place to work if you have a family. They don't care or will not let you work around family events especially if you are a manager

Cosmetologist (Former Employee), Snohomish, WA – January 22, 2013
Day to day work was random at best. The company did not secure a good walkin base for the amount of employees that they hired.

Terrible place to work
Managing cosmetologist (Former Employee), Ohio – January 19, 2013
Pros: leaving every day
Cons: terrible upper management, no continued education, no job security, refusal to work around medical issues (pregnancy etc.) constant changing staff, terrible pay.
After almost 7 years with this company I finally had enough. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism among staff members, and upper management in my life. How my "team leader" has yet to be sued, from the confidential information I have heard her disclose about other staff members, to her rude, slanderous, degrading management style I will never – more... know. I do know however that leaving this company was the BEST decision I have ever made. You do not make enough money to put up with the people and policies they have. DON'T DO IT! BELIEVE ME, WORKING HERE IS A BIG MISTAKE! – less

Excellent company, you get out of it what you put into it
Artistic Director (Current Employee), National – January 13, 2013
Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
I have worked for Regis for many years. What I have found is that if you work hard, have passion for what you are doing and are positive you will reap the rewards. What I love the most about the job are the amazing people that work for Regis. A day never passes without laughter. I have learned how to work with a wide range of people.
My Mother always – more... told us just do what you love and the money will follow and it has.
