I am a manager of a SmartStyle salon. I have been for over 2 years. In that time I have had 4 supervisers over me and not all of them were pleasant but you cannot catagorize the entire company by the bad behavior of a few. That in itself is a type of bigotry.(or predudice) I have been treated fairly by Regis Corp. and I treat my stylists fairly. Not everyone always gets along but that is in any work place. I enjoy wonderful benefits,prizes,and discounts from this company. I love the enviroment I work in and Regis provides everything we need to run a successful salon. All I provide is my lisence and my scissors! Nowhere else can you get that! I am truly sorry some have had an unfortunate encounter with Regis Corp. but it is unjust to imply all supervisers,managers,and stylists are bad due to association with this company. It is a great company to start your cosmetology career and build a clientelle. Also , just for the record, I have been doing hair for 11 years and this is the best company I have ever worked for!

i will never again work for or patronize a regis owned salon again! they dont care about their employees and managers and supervisors play favorites! i believe regis wants incompetent stylists and managers who have their "pets". if youre a dedicated professional stylist with a good work ethic,they will fire you and replace you with more incompetent ppl! i was asked to go into smartstyle early under the pretense of discussing the new salon im transferring to just to get get bitched at and fired for stupid stuff! i cant believe a regional manager would lie to me like that! she even admitted saying that so id go in early. stylists,dont work for this co. you should have enough self respect to not want to be treated like garbage!
