Sola Salons rents private salon suites to independent beauty professionals. Its Carytown site is on the second floor of a building in Richmond, at the intersection of West Cary Street and Dooley Avenue. Nearby landmarks include the Byrd Theater, the Museum District and Byrd Park.
Each suite has a glass door with its own lock and key, so a renter can keep their space secure. Amenities include 24/7 security, full-spectrum lighting, on-site laundry, a shampoo bowl, a styling chair, ventilation and Wi-Fi. Access hours vary by location. Utilities are part of the single weekly fee, which also covers Wi-Fi.
Renters set up their suite their own way. They choose the artwork, furniture and decor, and they pick the brands and products they sell. Renters keep all of the profit from their sales. The business says it has more than 20,000 independent business owners in its community and describes it as the largest community of independent studio owners.
Renters have access to liability insurance and disability insurance, the latter available in some areas. They also receive retail discounts, special offers for online scheduling and access to continuing education programs. A start-up manual walks new renters through the salon license, other permits, studio setup, credit card processing and working with retail distributors.
The listed contact for the Carytown location is Courtney Koehler. Sola Salon Studios franchise locations are independently owned and operated, so details can differ between locations.
The business provides a space and support for independent professionals to run their own studios, with renters in control of their suite and their products.
