Regency Beauty Institute Student Salons

My sister goes here often, because it’s inexpensive. A few times my sister complains that they don’t do a great job, but it’s ok and cheap. I generally do not like going to hair salons, because I’ve had many horrible experiences and often feel like it’s a waste of money, but I tried Regency. I informed them of my concerns and my sister’s experiences, and they were very helpful. They reminded me that these were students working on my hair and you have to be honest if you don’t like it or they will never learn.
So I tried them this past summer. The lady that did my hair was so sweet and did an AMAZING job. She gave me a great cut and actually LISTENED to me, which is rare for hair stylists. I love the cut. I just wish I remembered her name.
Moral of the story, talk to the students. Tell them what you want. Tell them what you don’t like. If they don’t listen talk to an administrator. If you still don’t like it at the end, say that, and they should fix it. This place is not for the meek and shy. But speak your mind, and you should leave happy.
UPDATE: I also had a HORRIBLE experience where this young lady butchered my hair! It really depends.

Been there twice and had bad experience both times. Granted, all services are done by students, and I don’t really have a huge complaint in that regard. My complaint is with the Administrators running the salon. Shady characters, they are…
I had purchased a Groupon for Vatterot’s Salon Cosmetique and went to Regency by mistake. They pretended they had our appointment and were prepared to provide our Groupon services. When we were finished, they charged an outrageous amount for the services and informed me they didn’t have any current Groupon deals and that we were at the wrong place. The woman at the desk even acted like I had not told her we were there to use our Groupon.
I went across the street to Vatterot Salon Cosmetique and explained why we didn’t show up for our appointment. They scheduled new appointments for us and honored the Groupon, even though it expired, and they did not have to do that. The services were far superior at Salon Cosmetique and the salon is much cleaner and more professional in appearance. I will definitely return to Salon Cosmetique for services but never again to Regency.

worst hair experience ever! I do not recommend this to anyone! I made an appointment and when I got there one of the teachers at the front desk told me it would be an hour wait even though I had an appointment. When I told her i had somewhere to be and can’t be here that long she became very rude. She found me a student to trim my hair. the chair was very dirty! had hair and nail polish. And the shampoo station and sinks were gross. I kept thinking to myself that I just want to walk out now!!! The student apparently did not take her lunch break so mid-​way through my trim, she leaves to lunch and another student works on my hair! Then when I go to pay, out of courtesy I wanted to leave a couple dollar tip, and was told they cannot put a tip on a card but I can go the ATM get money and come back!!! seriously???
Will never step foot in here again.
