Sola Salons

Sola Salons Arcadia is a space where independent salon professionals rent their own suites and run their own studios. The business describes the location as a retail destination for the San Gabriel Valley.

The location is in the outdoor Promenade district of The Shops at Santa Anita. Nearby stores include Nordstrom, Coach, Sephora, H&M, Michael Kors and Zara, and there is a range of dining options in the center. Parking is plentiful and adjacent to the salon.

Studio owners get a start-up manual that covers checklists, forms and guidance on salon and other licenses and permits, studio setup, and credit card processing. Renters have access to liability insurance and, in certain areas, disability insurance.

Studio owners also receive retail discounts, offers for online scheduling, continuing education programs and access to industry events. Sola hosts community gatherings for its independent studio owners.

Each salon professional and salon business at a Sola location is independently owned and operated, and Sola Salons is not responsible for their operations or personnel matters. Each Sola Salon Studios franchise location is independently owned and operated.

Sola works as a shared-space model in which each studio is run as its own independent business, with the building offering setup guidance, insurance access, and continuing education and networking for owners.

The suite building sits in an outdoor shopping promenade with nearby parking.
