HairMasters

HairMasters is a chain of full-service hair salons with a long-standing presence in the western United States. Founded in 1982 as part of Regis Corporation’s effort to grow value-driven salon concepts, HairMasters built its reputation on providing accessible haircuts, color, and styling services for men, women, and children. The brand became a familiar fixture in suburban shopping centers and neighborhood retail strips, offering walk-in convenience and consistent service at affordable prices.

Over the years, HairMasters expanded rapidly, reaching several hundred locations at its peak and establishing a strong footprint in Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho. As the salon industry evolved, with more independent stylists and boutique concepts entering the market, HairMasters responded by consolidating its store base and focusing on its core markets. As of November 2025, the company operates approximately 120 corporate-owned salons, most of which are located in the Pacific Northwest and select western states. Unlike many competitors, HairMasters does not franchise its locations, maintaining direct control over operations and customer experience.

In the past five years, the brand has shifted away from aggressive expansion and instead prioritized stability within established trade areas. While not actively opening new stores, HairMasters remains open to select relocation and renewal opportunities where it can reinforce its presence. Backed by Regis Corporation, a publicly traded leader in the salon industry, HairMasters offers landlords and developers a reliable tenant profile, with a standardized format and a history of anchoring neighborhood retail centers. The company’s continued scale, corporate ownership, and adaptability to changing market conditions underscore its credibility and resilience in the competitive haircare sector.
