Regency Beauty Institute is opening its fifth Michigan campus in Lansing. Plans are to renovate its 6,361 square foot space at 3415 W. Saginaw in time for March enrollment.
“We’re continually adding new campuses across the country and we’re always looking for communities where we think there will be demand for our particular approach to cosmetology,” says Paul Ariloff, vice president of marketing. “We don’t have any campuses in Lansing and this was a natural community to expand into.”
Regency Beauty Institute is a Minnesota-based cosmetology education company that has more than 62 campuses located in more than 15 states.
The school will bring some jobs to the area. Ariloff says the school will likely hire five to six local instructors and central staff for its March opening.
“For years the employment and growth in cosmetology has very closely mirrored population growth and often gets tagged as a recession-proof career,” Ariloff says.
Class sizes are dependent on enrollment, which rotates every four weeks for the full-time program. Ariloff says students are already showing interest in the Lansing school. The facility has two classrooms and a performance floor.
