Sola Salons Cary South

Sola Salons is a suite rental business. Rather than working in a shared room or booth, a professional rents a private suite and runs it as their own business. Each Sola Salon Studios location is independently owned and operated, and the company says it has spent more than 20 years partnering with professionals and has 750+ locations across the U.S. and Canada.

The suites are move-in ready and fully furnished, with high-end cabinets, oversized glass doors, shampoo bowls and styling chairs. Each suite has its own glass door with an individual lock and key. Shared amenities include full-spectrum lighting, a spacious breakroom, on-site laundry and sound-insulated walls. Suite access is 24/7, though hours vary by location.

Renters set their own service and product prices, choose the brands they sell and keep all of the profits from both services and product sales. Each suite is rented for one weekly fee that covers all utilities and Wi-Fi, with no added charges. The company says a private suite can cost about the same as renting a chair or booth.

Each renter runs a private, independent business in their own suite, setting prices and choosing products, with the building providing the space and utilities.

Private, glass-fronted suites with sound-insulated walls and full-spectrum lighting.
