I is/was a current student with Regency, my biggest mistake was that I didn't do enough research of how this school is runned. I am very disapointed with the school. The school is more concerned in making money then teaching you. As a matter of fact, they rush you on the floor, whether you are ready or not, and once you are on the floor, they want you to "SALE SALE SALE", when they should "TEACH TEACH TEACH" so you can "LEARN LEARN LEARN". Most of the educators treat you like your are in high school, (I am 30 yr old parent) they have no problem being rude towards you and humilate you in front of the whole class when you are wrong.
They rush you into things when you may not be ready. You basically pay $16 grand for stress and feel that you are not secure in what you are doing once you are on the floor.
They have so many rules and so called policy's that its hard to keep track let alone remember what is what?! On top of that, you get a basic kit, most of the nail stuff, is cheap crap in my opinion, its OPI but that doesnt mean its any good! When you do complain about something, they dismiss it and you must follow their rules no questions asked! Once you are on the floor, any products that you use, YOU must replace with your own money. The company makes money off of your skills, they treat you like they employ you, when really its the other way around. When the owners of the company come to get hair cuts or any other service, believe it or not, they dont tip you.
If you choose to get into this career be preparred to spend more like 20 grand, and its hard work.
After being humilated for the 4th time in 3 and half months of the school I decided to leave this school. I feel that Regency is more of a salon and not a teaching school. When you go to school research research research!!! Ask the students if they like this school and what they dont like! I didnt do that! I wish I had!
