Regis Salons ,Regis Corporation They Forced me to Resign a Month before I was supposed to go on maternity leave minneapolis, Minnesota

I totally believe this. I worked for Regis for several years and transferred to several locations, and I was never able to find a location where there was no smoking. I decided to go to work at a Mastercuts(owned by Regis) in a non-smoking mall, but that was a joke. It was a small salon, and employees and managers all smoked in the back room, making it impossible for me to go back there to mix color or eat my lunch without choking. Even the district manager smoked there when she came around every couple of months. I was passed over on a promotion even though I had years more experience than every other stylist, I fixed all the messed up cuts from other stylists, and I was the only one who could do ethnic hair. I had no small kids to worry about, and was free to work any hours, even weekends. But when promotion time came, a young, pretty less experienced stylist with a baby gets promoted. And of course, she smokes. I was told through the grapevine that I didn't get hired because I had said in my interview that I would ban smoking in the salon if I became manager. That's it. The only reason, otherwise I would have been promoted.

And they don't care about customers either, as so many have complained on this site.

You don't need them, dear. Go work for a private salon who will treat you like a competent hair stylist and give you the respect you deserve.
