Sola Salons

Sola Salons Highland Park is a suite building rather than a single salon with shared staff. It leases private suites to independent beauty professionals, and each location is independently owned and operated, as is each business within it. The company states it has more than 20,000 independent business owners in its community.

Each suite renter receives a key to their own suite and sets their own working hours. Suites have an individual glass door with a lock and key, full-spectrum lighting, a shampoo bowl, a styling chair, ventilation and sound-insulated walls. Renters pay one weekly fee that covers all utilities and Wi-Fi.

Renters set their own service and product prices and keep all profits from their work. They can sell products of their choice and keep the full profit on those sales. Shared spaces include a breakroom, bathroom facilities, on-site laundry and janitorial services, and the building has 24/7 security. Access hours vary by location.

The building is set up for independent professionals who want to run their own business, with control over pricing, products and hours.
