Sola Salons

The Attleboro location at 287 Washington St. is one of several Sola locations, each independently owned and operated. The company says it has worked with salon professionals for more than 20 years and describes its network as spanning over 750 locations in the U.S. and Canada. The Attleboro studios serve areas including North Attleborough, Plainville, Seekonk, Rehoboth, Pawtucket and Providence.

The building is designed for independent beauty and wellness workers who want their own space rather than a chair or booth in a shared room. Each suite has an individually locked glass door, and every tenant receives a key and sets their own work hours. Access hours vary by location, so the schedule at this building is worth confirming before booking.

Tenants set their own service and product prices and keep all of the profits. They also choose the brands they carry and keep all profit from product sales. Rent is one weekly fee that covers utilities and Wi-Fi, with no surprise charges. The company says a private suite costs about the same as renting a chair or booth.

Suites include utilities, 24/7 security, full-spectrum lighting, on-site laundry and instant hot water. Shared spaces include bathroom facilities, a breakroom, ventilation, styling chairs and shampoo bowls. The company describes its support and hospitality as unparalleled, a claim it makes about itself.

The building is a leasing arrangement rather than a single salon, so each tenant runs their own business, sets their own prices, hours and product lines, and keeps what they earn.
