How long have you wanted to make a change in your career? How long have you dreamt of growing as a beauty professional?
Have you ever wondered how other beauty pros and stylists make the transition to running their own salon business? Does it ever feel like they make it look easy, but there are a few steps that seem to be missing from your education and experience?
At Sola, we give you all the tools that you need to make the transition as clear and seamless as possible. When you lease a salon suite with Sola, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself - which is a very important distinction.

Sola provides everything you need to feel confident in launching your own salon business, including:
- A move-in ready salon studio, available in a variety of layouts for all types of beauty professionals, including hairdressers, nail technicians, estheticians, makeup artists and more - a space for you to call your own
- Access to resources, education and training for salon ownership, including a comprehensive Sola Start-Up Manual with licensing documents, tax information, marketing and business expertise for running a Sola salon
- Professional liability insurance to protect you and your salon business legally and financially
- An easy-to-use customizable website through the Sola Pro App to launch your online brand - no web experience necessary
- Your listing on Sola directories for attracting new clients to your salon

Sola pros, or as we like to call them, Solapreneurs, feel the Sola difference is in our unwavering support and commitment to empowering beauty professionals and independent salon owners. From the very foundations, Sola’s mission is to inspire and support beauty professionals to chase their dreams, elevate their careers, and experience the freedom of salon ownership.
We focus on what's best for you, so you can focus on what's best for your business.
Make 2023 YOUR YEAR for Community…
Have you ever wanted to become a salon owner but do not like the idea of going it alone?
When you join Sola, you join a community of nearly 20,000 independent salon owners that become colleagues, friends and Sola family. You will learn from the best of the Sola pros through online and in-person Sola resources, including the Sola Sessions educational conferences, training webinars and online forums connecting the community.
At your local Sola location, you will interact with beauty professionals with similar goals and lifestyles, making that community investment all the more supportive and worthwhile. While you can enjoy a private and serene space to see clients and work, you can open your beautiful floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and socialize with your Sola community any time.
Sola beauty professionals often express gratitude for the ability to run their own business independently, while also having their needs for connection met by the Sola community:
"Even though we are our own boss, Sola created this awesome opportunity where we still have each other just a couple steps away. If you need help, ask for it, we are a Sola family in this Sola community." - Shelbie Donoho, 2020 Faces of Sola
“I love the fact that I am in the salon environment, yet on my own with absolutely no drama. Sola was by far the best business move I could have possibly made! Sola has inspired me to be the best business owner I could possibly be.” - @hairbylaurenkarlovich
