Sola Salons

Sola Salons East Cobb is at 1062 Johnson Ferry Road in Marietta, between Lower Roswell Road and Upper Roswell Road, just south of the Merchant's Walk and Woodlawn shopping centers. The building is shared with Goldberg's Deli and Big Peach Running Company.

The location rents salon suites to independent beauty professionals. Each suite comes with cabinets, shampoo bowls and styling chairs, and has full-spectrum lighting and sound-insulated walls. Every suite has its own glass door with an individual lock and key, and renters can decorate and furnish the space as they choose. Access hours vary by location, and renters set their own schedules.

Renters pay one weekly fee that covers utilities and Wi-Fi. The building has a spacious breakroom and on-site laundry. Renters have access to liability insurance and disability insurance, the latter available in certain areas. Renters may sell retail products of their choice and keep all of the profits, according to the business. Renters also receive retail discounts, special offers for online scheduling, and continuing education programs.

The business provides a start-up manual covering checklists, forms, licensing information, insurance and equipment details, credit card processing tips, and retail distributor contacts. It hosts industry events and community gatherings such as cocktail parties and family picnics. The business says it has a community of more than 20,000 independent business owners and describes itself as the largest community of independent studio owners. Prospective renters can schedule a tour of the location.

Each salon professional and salon business at a Sola location is run by its own independent owner. This covers franchise owners and self-employed salon professionals alike. Sola Salons accepts no liability for how these owners run their businesses, make hiring decisions or manage their staff.

Sola provides the space, utilities and support, while each professional runs an independent business within their own suite.
