REGIS FIRST QUARTER REVENUES GREW 15 PERCENT TO $584 MILLION

-First Quarter Same-Store Sales Increased 0.7 Percent-

MINNEAPOLIS, October 12, 2005 -- Regis Corporation (NYSE:RGS), the global leader in the $150 billion hair care industry, today reported that consolidated revenues increased 15 percent in the first fiscal quarter of 2006 to a record $584 million, compared to $506 million a year ago. First quarter hair salon revenue was impacted by the loss of 2,400 salon days as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Company estimates that these closures reduced first quarter revenue by approximately $2.1 million. During the comparable period last year, the Company lost 3,300 salon days and an estimated $4 million in revenue due to hurricanes.
