Sola Salons

Sola Salons Matthews is a studio-style building where independent beauty professionals rent their own suite rather than working as employees. Each suite is fully furnished and move-in ready, with oversized glass doors, cabinets, shampoo bowls and styling chairs, and each has a glass door with its own lock and key.

The model is built around independence. Tenants set their own service and product prices, choose the brands they carry, keep all profits from sales and decide their own working hours. Suite access is 24/7, although access hours vary by location.

One weekly fee covers rent, utilities and Wi-Fi. Other amenities include full-spectrum lighting, a spacious breakroom, on-site laundry, sound-insulated walls and on-site parking.

The company says it has more than 20,000 independent business owners in its network and over 750 locations nationwide. Each Sola Salon Studios location is independently owned and operated, and the businesses inside are independently owned and operated too.

Current tenants listed at this address include Kimtslay, a hair studio that offers natural hairstyles, color, cuts, hair extensions, treatments and smoothing services. Its listed prices include two strand twist at $120.00, silk press at $115.00 and partial balayage starting at $170.00, and it asks for a consultation before color work and microlink extensions. Renu Herbal Spa and Nail Studio offers manicures and pedicures, including organic sea salt, herbal spa and jelly pedicures, with a regular pedicure listed at $30.00. Each tenant sets its own prices and booking rules, so details should be confirmed with the individual studio.

The building operates on an independent model: tenants run their own businesses, set their own prices and hours, and keep what they earn.

Suites are bright, with full-spectrum lighting and individually locked glass doors.
