Sola Salons

Sola Salons' West Bloomfield location is a salon suite building, where independent beauty professionals rent their own private studio rather than working as employees of the business. The location has 40 individual studios. It is part of the Sola Salon Studios franchise network, and each location is independently owned and operated.

Renters are supported with a start-up manual covering the steps to get a salon license and other licenses and permits, studio setup details, tips for credit card processing, and retail support with distributor contacts. Renters also have access to liability insurance and, in certain areas, disability insurance, along with retail discounts, special offers for online scheduling, continuing education programs and industry events.

The location hosts community gatherings for its studio owners, such as cocktail parties and family picnics. The business describes itself as having the largest community of independent studio owners, a claim made by the business itself.

The building is on the north side of West Maple Road, about 200 yards east of Orchard Lake Road, with parking for salon owners and clients. It is close to Plum Market and Prime 29 Steakhouse. Sola Salons states that it is not responsible for the operations, employment or personnel matters of franchise owners or independent salon professionals.

Sola Salons provides a supported space for independent beauty professionals to run their own businesses, with shared resources and a community of studio owners.
