Sola Salons

Sola Salons describes its mission as inspiring and supporting independent beauty professionals. This location is a salon suite building rather than a salon with staff, so the people working there are independent business owners who rent their own private space.

Each suite is a private room with a glass door, its own individual lock and key, and a key issued to the renter, who can set their own work hours. The suite includes full-spectrum lighting, a shampoo bowl, a styling chair and Wi-Fi, and the rent covers utilities. Renters can decorate and customize the space with their own artwork, music, furniture and decor, and they have exclusive use of their own supplies and equipment inside it.

Renters set their own service and product prices, choose which brands and products to sell, and keep all of the profits. The company states that renting a suite costs about the same as renting a chair or booth in a traditional salon. Suites are rented for one weekly fee.

The building has 24/7 security and round-the-clock access, though access hours vary by location. Renters work alongside other independent business owners in the same building, and the company states it has more than 20,000 independent business owners in its community.

Sola Salon Studios franchises are independently owned and operated, and so is each professional or business working in them. Sola Salons lists Westminster and nearby communities, including Broomfield, Northglenn, Lafayette, Thornton, Erie and Louisville, among the areas it serves.

The business aims to give independent beauty professionals their own private space, with control over pricing, products and schedule.
