Regis Corp
A company that runs hair salons under familiar brands like Supercuts, SmartStyle, and Cost Cutters, serving everyday people who want a quick, affordable haircut. It began in 1922 when Russian-born barber Paul Kunin opened the Kunin Beauty Salon in Minneapolis; his son Myron took over in 1958 and renamed the company Regis, a Latin word meaning "of the king." A fun twist: the Supercuts brand was born in 1975 when two stylists aimed to make haircuts as predictable as fast food, with a signature twenty-minute trim.
