Everything You Need To Know About Sola Salon Studios
Posted on June 23, 2020
Sola Salon Studios
Our mission at Sola is to inspire beauty professionals to chase their dreams, elevate their careers and experience the freedom of salon ownership.
It's common in the beauty industry to find yourself at a career crossroads, especially after an unexpected global pandemic. The traditional salon you were working in may have closed down or you may be looking for a safer, more private environment for you and your guests. But opening a storefront salon may not be feasible due to financial burden and other risks and responsibilities that come with opening a brick-and-mortar salon.
At Sola, we make salon ownership simple! When you join the Sola family, you're in business for yourself, but you are never by yourself because we provide the space, support and resources you need to set yourself up for success.
So, what exactly is Sola?
Sola Salon Studios is the largest, fastest-growing salon studio franchise that leases move-in-ready, one and two-chair salon studios to independent beauty professionals.
As a Sola professional, you are in control of your own business, keep 100 percent of your profits, and have complete freedom to choose your salon name, hours, online booking and salon management technology, pricing, services, products, décor, music, clientele and more!
Imagine 20 to 40 boutique salons all under one roof. That's the magic of Sola!
Of course, there are other salon suite concepts out there. But what sets Sola apart?
