Sola Salon Studios, founded in 2004, operates a franchise-based model providing private, fully equipped salon spaces to beauty professionals across the United States and Canada. The company has grown to over 700 locations, serving more than 20,000 beauty professionals who run their own independent businesses within Sola's facilities.
Each studio is move-in-ready, featuring hydraulic chairs, shampoo bowls, full-spectrum lighting, oversized mirrors, high-end cabinets, individual ventilation, and included utilities and Wi-Fi. The model allows stylists, estheticians, and other beauty practitioners to operate as independent entrepreneurs rather than employees.
Every franchise location is independently owned and operated. The company's stated core values are Empowerment, Excellence, Care, Inclusivity, and Freedom, with a mission focused on supporting beauty professionals in pursuing salon ownership. Sola positions itself as a community for entrepreneurial beauty professionals seeking autonomy in their careers.
