"Clip for the Cure is an important campaign for Regis; many of
our stylists and guests are women, and many of us have had families
or friends directly affected by breast cancer," said Dan Hanrahan, President and CEO of Regis
Corporation. "We're very pleased and proud that our stylists,
guests and business partners came together to help us raise
$1 million this year."
Clip for the Cure took place in October, which is National
Breast Cancer Awareness month. On Saturday,
October 13, over 7,000 Regis Corporation corporate salons
participated in the company's annual haircutting event. Stylists
gave over 240,000 haircuts, with Regis Corporation donating a
portion of the proceeds from the cuts to the Regis Foundation for
Breast Cancer Research. Throughout October, salons also donated 10%
of net proceeds from the sale of private label products like
DESIGNLINE, Cost Cutters Professional and MasterCuts' M|C line.
Guests helped to raise funds and awareness by purchasing
limited-edition pink products.
Regis Corporation, the global leader in the $160 billion haircare industry, has supported
breast cancer research since 1990. Salons that participated in the
