Sola Salons

Sola Salons rents private studio suites to independent beauty professionals in Westminster, Colorado. The Westminster location sits just off 120th Avenue and Federal Boulevard, close to Caribou Coffee, Hana Matsuri Sushi and Denver Premium Outlets, and it offers free parking.

The business describes its mission as inspiring and supporting independent beauty professionals as they build their careers. It says it has a community of over 20,000 independent business owners and more than 750 locations nationwide. Each Sola Salon Studios franchise location is independently owned and operated, and so is each professional or business working within it.

Each suite comes with full-spectrum lighting, a shampoo bowl, a styling chair, an individual lock for the studio and Wi-Fi, with 24/7 security across the property. Suite access hours vary by location. Renters can personalize their studio with artwork, furniture and decor.

Renters pay one weekly fee that covers utilities and Wi-Fi. They can sell retail products of their choice and keep all of the profits. Renters also get access to liability insurance, disability insurance in certain areas, retail discounts and continuing education programs. A start-up manual covers forms, guidance on salon licensing and permits, studio setup and tips on credit card processing.

The business supports independent professionals with the space, insurance, education and business resources to run their own practice.
