Ladies/Gentlemen:

      BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION (the "BANK") is
pleased to confirm that the Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make
loans to REGIS CORPORATION (the "Borrower") from time to time, on the following
terms and conditions:

1.    DEFINITIONS

      "APPLICABLE CURRENCY":  As to any particular Advance, Dollars or the
Offshore Currency in which it is denominated or is payable.

      "BANKING DAY":  A day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank
is open for business in Chicago, Illinois and (a) with respect to disbursements
and payments in Dollars, a day on which dealings are carried on in the
applicable offshore Dollar interbank market, and (b) with respect to
disbursements and payments in and calculations pertaining to any Advance
denominated in an Offshore Currency, a day on which commercial banks are open
for foreign exchange business in London, England, and on which dealings in the
relevant Offshore Currency are carried on in the applicable offshore foreign
exchange interbank market. All payments received on a day which is not a Banking
Day will be applied to the line of credit on the next Banking Day.

      "DOLLAR" and the sign "$":  The lawful currency of the United States of
America.

      "DOLLAR EQUIVALENT":  At any time, (a) as to any amount denominated in
Dollars, the amount thereof at such time, and (b) as to any amount denominated
in an Offshore Currency, the equivalent amount in Dollars as determined by the
Bank at such time on the basis of its spot rate of exchange (including all
related costs of conversion) for the purchase of Dollars with such Offshore
Currency at approximately 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date on which such
calculation would be necessary for the delivery of Dollars on the applicable
date contemplated in this Agreement.

      "OFFSHORE CURRENCY":  The lawful currencies constituting eurocurrencies
(other than Dollars) set forth in SCHEDULE 1 to this Agreement, and any other
eurocurrency which is, in the sole discretion of the Bank, freely traded in the
offshore interbank foreign exchange markets and is freely transferable and
freely convertible into Dollars.

      "REFERENCE RATE":  The rate of interest publicly announced from time to
time by the Bank in Chicago, Illinois, as its Reference Rate. The Reference Rate
is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank's costs and
desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a
reference point for pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its
customers at, above, or below the Reference Rate. Any change in the Reference
Rate will take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the
public announcement of a change in the Reference Rate.

2.    LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS

2.1   LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT.  The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow from
the Bank to and including the Termination Date (defined below), unless sooner
notified by the Bank of the termination of this line of credit, such amounts
(the "ADVANCES") as the Borrower may from time to time request, but not
exceeding the Dollar Equivalent amount of $20,000,000, or such reduced amount as
may be fixed by the Bank by written notice to the Borrower (the "LINE OF CREDIT
AMOUNT") in the aggregate at any one time outstanding. If at any time the Bank
determines that the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Advances hereunder
exceeds the Line of Credit Amount due to a change in applicable rates of
exchange between Dollars and any Offshore Currency, then the Bank shall give
notice to the Borrower that a prepayment is required and the Borrower will make
such prepayment such that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the aggregate
Dollar Equivalent amount of all Advances does not exceed the Line of Credit
Amount.

2.2   "TERMINATION DATE" means May 4, 1999 or such later date to which the
Termination Date may be extended by the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion
and based on such review of the Borrower's financial performance and condition
and such other factors as the Bank considers relevant (which may include, but
not be limited to, future loan policies and other policies adopted by the Bank
unrelated to the Borrower's financial condition). Any such extension must be in
writing signed by the Bank and acknowledged by the Borrower. In the case of any
such extension, the Termination Date will be the date to which such extension
has been granted.  The Bank is under no obligation or commitment to extend the
Termination Date and no such obligation or commitment on the part of the Bank
may be inferred from this provision.

2.3   NOTE EVIDENCING ADVANCES.  The Advances will be evidenced by the
Borrower's promissory note (the "Note") in the form set forth as EXHIBIT A, and
will be payable on the earlier of the Termination Date or demand. The Bank will
record all Advances (and the Applicable Currency) made pursuant to this
Agreement and all payments of principal in its records, which records will be
rebuttable presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof.

2.4   ADVANCES.  The Borrower may elect to have an Advance denominated in
Dollars or in an Offshore Currency.

2.5   ELECTION TO MAKE ADVANCES;  ALL ADVANCES PAYABLE ON DEMAND.  The 
Borrower agrees that its compliance with and its performance of the 
provisions of this Agreement do not obligate the Bank to make any Advances 
and that the Bank will make any Advance in its sole and absolute discretion. 
The Borrower further agrees that, notwithstanding the Borrower's compliance 
with and performance of the provisions of this Agreement, the Bank has the 
right to demand payment of the Advances at any time.

2.6   INTEREST RATE.

      (a) REFERENCE RATE.  For any Advance denominated in Dollars, unless the
Borrower elects the Offshore Rate described below, the interest rate is the
Reference Rate, defined below, per annum.

      (b) OFFSHORE RATE.  The Borrower may elect to have any Advance denominated
in Dollars bear interest at the Offshore Rate plus 1.00% per annum. All Advances
denominated in an Offshore Currency will bear interest at the Offshore Rate plus
1.00% per annum. At the end of any interest period, unless the Borrower has
designated another interest period, any Advance denominated in an Offshore
Currency will be redenominated into Dollars (using the Dollar Equivalent) and
the interest rate for any Advance denominated in Dollars will revert to the rate
based on the Reference Rate. Designation of an Offshore Rate Advance is subject
to the following requirements:

            (1) The interest period during which the Offshore Rate will be in
      effect will be 1, 2 or 3 months, as agreed between the Bank and the 
      Borrower. The last day of the interest period will be determined by the 
      Bank using the practices of the inter-bank eurocurrency market.

            (2) Each Offshore Rate Advance will be for an amount not less than 
      the Dollar Equivalent amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of the 
      Dollar Equivalent amount of $100,000.

            (3) The Borrower must irrevocably request an Offshore Rate Advance
      no later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, three Banking Days before the 
      commencement of the interest period.

            (4) "OFFSHORE RATE" means the interest rate determined by the
      following formula, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of 1% (all amounts 
      in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of 
      the interest period):

            Offshore Rate =              Interbank Rate
                                   ---------------------------
                                   (1.00 - Reserve Percentage)

      Where,

           (A) "INTERBANK RATE"  means the interest rate (rounded upward to the
           nearest 1/16th of 1%) at which deposits in the Applicable Currency
           for the applicable interest period are offered to the Bank by major
           banks in the inter-bank eurocurrency market two Banking Days prior to
           commencement of the interest period.

           (B) "RESERVE PERCENTAGE"  means the total of the maximum reserve
           percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member
           banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as
           defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the
           nearest 1/100 of 1%. The percentage will be expressed as a decimal,
           and will include, but not be limited to, marginal, emergency,
           supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.

           (5) Any Advance already bearing interest at an Offshore Rate will not
      be converted to a different rate during its interest period.

           (6) Each prepayment of an Offshore Rate Advance, whether voluntary,
      by reason of demand or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of
      accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described
      below. A "prepayment" is a payment of any amount on a date earlier than 
      the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.
      The prepayment fee will be equal to the amount (if any) by which:

               (A) the additional interest which would have been payable during
           the interest period on the amount prepaid had it not been prepaid,
           exceeds

               (B) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by
           placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the inter-bank eurocurrency
           market for a period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and
           ending on the last day of the interest period for such Advance, or
           the scheduled payment date for the amount prepaid, if earlier.

           (7) The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for an
      Offshore Rate Advance if any of the following described events has
      occurred and is continuing:

               (A) deposits in the Applicable Currency in the principal amount,
           and for periods equal to the interest period, of an Offshore Rate
           Advance are not available in the inter-bank eurocurrency market; or

               (B) the Offshore Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of an
           Offshore Rate Advance.

      (c) INTEREST CALCULATION.  Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement,
all interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed.

      (d) DEFAULT RATE.  After demand, the unpaid principal balance of the Note
will bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2% percent higher than the rate
of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement.

2.7   REPAYMENT TERMS.



Regis Corporation

      (a) INTEREST.  Interest accruing prior to demand on a Reference Rate
Advance will be payable monthly on the first day of each month and at the time
of demand, beginning with the first such date to occur after the initial
Advance. Interest accruing prior to demand on an Offshore Rate Advance will be
paid on the last day of each interest period. Interest accruing after demand
will be payable on demand.

      (b) PRINCIPAL.  If demand for payment is not sooner made, the Borrower
will repay in full all principal and any unpaid interest or other charges
outstanding under this Agreement no later than the Termination Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any amount bearing interest at the Offshore Rate may be repaid at
the end of the applicable interest period, which will be no later than the
Termination Date.

2.8   CURRENCY EQUIVALENTS GENERALLY.  For all purposes of this Agreement, the
equivalent in any Offshore Currency of an amount in Dollars, and the equivalent
in Dollars of an amount in any Offshore Currency, shall be determined by the
Bank on the basis of the spot rate of exchange (including all related costs of
conversion) at approximately 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date on which such
calculation would be necessary for the delivery of Dollars or such Offshore
Currency on the applicable date contemplated in this Agreement. Any
determination made by the Bank pursuant to this SECTION 2.7 will be conclusive
and binding in the absence of manifest error.

3.    DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS

3.1   REQUESTS FOR ADVANCES.  Each request for an Advance will be made in
writing in a manner acceptable to the Bank, or by another means acceptable to
the Bank.

3.2   DISBURSEMENTS AND PAYMENTS.  Each Advance made by the Bank, in its sole
and absolute discretion, will be made in immediately available funds in the
Applicable Currency. Each payment by the Borrower will be made without set-off
or counterclaim in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency not
later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the dates called for under this Agreement
at the Bank's office at 231 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60697. Funds
received on any day after such time will be deemed to have been received on the
next Banking Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or on the Note is
stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment will be made
on the next succeeding Banking Day and such extension of time will be included
in the computation of any interest.

3.3   TELEPHONE AUTHORIZATION.

      (a) The Bank may honor telephone instructions for Advances or repayments
given by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf
of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such
authorized signers.

      (b) Advances will be deposited in the Borrower's account number 1233227795
(the "ACCOUNT") or such other of the Borrower's accounts with the Bank as
designated in writing by the Borrower.

      (c) At the request of the Bank, the Borrower will promptly provide written
confirmation to the Bank of any telephone instructions.  If there is a
discrepancy and the Bank has already acted on the telephone instructions, the
telephone instructions will prevail over the written confirmation.

      (d) The Borrower indemnifies and excuses the Bank (including its officers,
employees, and agents) from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with
any act resulting from telephone instructions it reasonably believes are made by
any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions. This
indemnity and excuse will survive this Agreement.

3.4   DIRECT DEBIT.  The Borrower agrees that interest and principal payments
will be deducted automatically on the due date from the Account. The Bank will
debit the Account on the dates the payments become due. If a due date does not
fall on a Banking Day, the Bank will debit the Account on the first Banking Day
following the due date. If there are insufficient funds in the Account on the
date the Bank enters any debit the debit will be reversed.

3.5   TAXES.  The Borrower will not deduct any taxes from any payments it makes
to the Bank. If any government authority imposes any taxes on any payments made
by the Borrower, the Borrower will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank,
at the time interest is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as
necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such
taxes had not been imposed. Upon request by the Bank, the Borrower will confirm
that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank official tax receipts (or
notarized copies) within 30 days after the due date. The Borrower will not pay
the Bank's net income taxes.
