Sola Salons

Instead of working in a shared salon, independent professionals rent their own private suite and run their business from it. The location is listed as newly open and serves the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood area.

Each suite comes with cabinetry, glass sliding doors, a sink, an ergonomic chair and a lighted mirror, so renters can set up a finished workspace without building one from scratch. Move-in specials are offered, and the details are shared during a tour of the location.

Suite renters get access to liability insurance, disability insurance in certain areas, retail discounts, online scheduling offers, continuing education programs and industry events. A start-up manual covers the forms and tips for obtaining a salon license and other permits, setting up a studio, processing credit cards and contacting retail distributors.

The company says each location and each professional or business within it is independently owned and operated. It also describes its community of independent studio owners as the largest of its kind, and hosts gatherings such as cocktail parties and family picnics for local suite renters.

Each suite is run as an independent business, and the company supports renters with insurance, licensing guidance, continuing education and community events.
