Sola Salons

Sola Salons' Holmdel location is a salon suite building. Instead of working as an employee in a shared salon, beauty professionals rent a private suite and run it as their own boutique salon.

Tenants set their own service and product prices and keep all profits, choose the brands and products they sell and keep the income from them, and set their own work hours. Each suite gives the tenant exclusive use of its supplies and equipment.

Each suite has a glass door with an individual lock and key. Suites include full-spectrum lighting, a shampoo bowl, a styling chair and instant hot water. The building also has a spacious breakroom, on-site laundry and bathroom facilities, with 24/7 security (access hours vary by location).

Suites carry one weekly fee that covers utilities and Wi-Fi. The company says it has a community of more than 20,000 independent business owners and describes its suites as a way for beauty professionals to have their own space without storefront risks.

The site suggests the arrangement suits renters with 3 or more years of beauty experience and an existing clientele in the Monmouth area. Prospective tenants can book a tour with the Holmdel tour manager, Deidre, by texting or calling +1 (201) 815-1469.

The model gives independent professionals their own private suite, with control over pricing, hours and product choices, rather than a shared salon floor.

Each suite is a private room with its own locked glass door, set within a building that has a shared breakroom.
