Experience the Sola Difference

Sola Pro is an amazing resource! When I have downtime in the salon, I love opening Sola Pro to watch hair tutorials and catch up on the latest webinar replays, as well as browse product specials created just for Sola.

Success Story

Ashley Lantz

Becoming an independent stylist can be nerve-racking for a number of reasons. One of my main concerns was attracting new clients without having the option of taking walk-ins like I did at my previous salon.

Clients can go to the website and put in what service they’re looking for and BookNow will automatically pull up all SolaGenius users in the client’s preferred area and their available times. I got to a point last year where I had to stop accepting new clients because BookNow was constantly reeling in new guests for me! It’s one of the many benefits of not only being at Sola but being a SolaGenius user as well.
