What does it mean if a school is accredited?
Accredited schools have met national standards of educational performance. In our case, the recognition comes from the Department of Education. Accredited schools are monitored by a recognized non-government agency on behalf of the DOE. In the past, we have achieved accreditation by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) within 60 days of opening.

Are there benefits to attending an accredited school?
Accreditation of schools has become one of the most authoritative and reliable metrics for a school's concern for integrity toward its students in search of a quality education. Some of the factors that accrediting organizations look for include the school’s curriculum, quality of education, facilities, staff, and admission policies. As an accredited school, we are able to offer federal financial aid to those who qualify, along with other benefits. Check out our thoughts on accreditation. It costs more to meet and maintain the standards for accreditation, but we believe you’re worth it.

What does a cosmetologist do?
Cosmetologists, sometimes called beauticians, hairdressers, and hairstylists, provide hair and beauty services such as shampooing, cutting, coloring, and styling. As a licensed cosmetologist, you will also be able to provide services for nail care and skin care if you so desire.
|
Is there a difference between beauty school and cosmetology school?
Historically, the cosmetology program has been referred to as a beautician school or beauty school. More recently, it has been called beauty college or cosmetology school. Generally speaking, we call ourselves a cosmetology institute or school and we believe our program is different from others. If you are just starting to look, check out our Things to Consider document and put us to the test.

What will I gain from Regency’s focus on professional development?
According to the US Department of Labor, almost half of all cosmetologists are self-employed. Many own their own salon, but a growing number lease booth space or a chair from the salon owner. Our professional development program will help prepare you to manage your business, increase client relations, and achieve personal and professional goals. These skills will serve you throughout your life.

How are Regency’s admissions decisions made?
We make admissions decisions based on interest, aptitude, and ability and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, financial status, sex, ethnic origin, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
|
What are Regency’s admission requirements?
To enroll, you will need to show proof of a high school diploma or GED, be 16 years of age or older (parental consent will be required for students under 18 years), pass our entrance examination, complete our application process, and pay the enrollment agreement fee.
|
What is involved in Regency’s cosmetology training?
We pack a lot of learning into three phases: Workshop, Performance, and Rehearsal. In short, those three aspects translate into classroom time to get you trained and prepared, some behind-the-scenes practice (and more practice), and lots of quality time on the salon floor. For more detail, check out our curriculum page.

How will you help with job placement?
We have a SalonPartners® program that gives salon owners and managers the inside track on new talent. (That would be you.) We’ve established relationships with hundreds of industry leaders nationwide to give you an advantage as you start thinking about your first post-Regency career move.
And, we just launched a new national job placement website. If you choose to post your resume, salons and other industry partners will be able to see how you’ve performed in areas such as academics, guest satisfaction, service volume, and retailing, so they’ll like you before they even meet you.
