Sola salons
Overview
Sola Salons is a premier salon suite franchise that empowers beauty professionals by providing fully-equipped, private studio spaces. Founded in 2004 and franchising since 2005, Sola has grown into a national network of over 730 locations, supporting more than 20,000 independent beauty professionals. The franchise combines real estate investment with the beauty industry, allowing franchisees to build high-end salon studios that are rented to hairstylists, estheticians, and other beauty professionals.
Franchise owners benefit from a semi-absentee business model with predictable, recurring revenue. The business requires minimal staff and oversight, as beauty professionals lease their spaces directly and manage their own services. Sola Salons provides a proven system for success, including site selection, lease negotiation, marketing support, and operational guidance. This allows franchisees to scale their business while providing a supportive environment for local entrepreneurs.
This franchise is ideal for business-minded entrepreneurs with strong leadership and management skills. While no experience in the beauty industry is required, owners should be comfortable overseeing operations, managing lease agreements, and building relationships within their communities.
