For Immediate Release

REGIS THIRD QUARTER REVENUES GREW FOUR PERCENT TO $680 MILLION

-Third Quarter Total Same-Store Sales Increased 1.4 Percent-

-Third Quarter Service Same-Store Sales Increased 3.3 Percent-

MINNEAPOLIS, April 11, 2008 — Regis Corporation (NYSE:RGS), the global leader in the $170 billion hair care industry, today reported consolidated revenues increased 3.8 percent in the third fiscal quarter of 2008 to a record $680 million, compared to $655 million a year ago.  Deconsolidation of the beauty schools and the European franchise salon operations reduced revenue in the quarter by approximately $28 million.  Absent the impact of the school and European deconsolidation, consolidated revenues for the quarter would have increased 8.5 percent.  Third quarter total same-store sales increased 1.4 percent, falling within the previously issued guidance of 0.5 to 2.5 percent

“Our same-store service sales increase of 3.3% in the quarter was our highest quarterly service increase in the last eight years,” commented Paul D. Finkelstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “Although our third quarter same-store sales results were positively impacted by this year’s early Easter holiday season, the majority of this increase was the result of our continued focus on increasing average ticket.  Specifically, we implemented price increases in over 5,600 salons during the quarter.”
