SOLA SALONS

SOLA SALONS

Sola Salons franchises enable operators to develop and manage facilities that lease individual turn-key salon studios to independent beauty professionals, such as hairstylists, nail technicians, estheticians, and massage therapists. Franchisees lease or purchase commercial space ranging from 4,200 to 9,000 square feet, convert it into private studios (typically 8x12 feet), and provide services including maintenance, wireless internet, marketing, events, and salon management. The business model targets salon professionals seeking flexible, fully-equipped private workspaces in a competitive beauty and wellness industry.
