Sola Salon Studios - Franchise
Sola Salon Studios: A Franchise That Fits Your Life, Your Style®
Founded in 2004, Sola has paved the way for the salon studios concept. But our real passion isn’t hair—it’s real estate. Our rental model enables franchisees to manage minimal employees while empowering beauty professionals to follow their dreams.
Right from the start, you’ll receive unparalleled support because we believe in setting up you and your tenants for success. Our franchise owners receive unmatched benefits in market analysis and site selection, training, technology-driven business tools, construction and design, marketing materials and continuous learning.
Whether you are new to franchising or a seasoned multi-unit franchise operator who wants to diversify while helping entrepreneurs live their best lives, we think our system may be perfect for you.
A Compelling, Innovative Model
Investors repeatedly turn to Sola because of simple operations, low labor, no inventory or receivables, and attractive unit level economics. We’re exceptionally proud of our franchise system. With largely predictable expenses and recurring rent, owning a Sola franchise is an appealing investment.
Market Analysis & Site Selection
Our team will help you analyze potential sites so you can select a location to build your best-in-class Sola Salon Studios. As a franchisee, you may also have access to mapping software, which will further assist in identifying and understanding key features of your market.
Training & Ongoing Support
One of the first steps is coming to Denver for hands-on training, where we’ll provide a road map on how to open and operate a Sola Salon Studios franchise. As a franchisee, you’ll also get invitations to our regular conferences and webinars, plus support from our dedicated franchise support team.
Technology-Driven Business Tools
Our apps Sola Pro and SolaGenius will help your beauty professionals run their business efficiently. Some of the key features include live education and digital learning, online booking and credit card processing, and analytics.
Construction & Design
Our preferred contractors can build out your Sola with contemporary, upscale studios. Then, you’ll pick cabinets, fixtures, lighting, chairs and mirrors to complete each one.
Marketing Materials
Our in-house marketing team will guide you through leveraging key marketing initiatives and integrating proven concepts into your local marketing plan to attract the best fitting beauty professionals.
Continuous Learning for Franchisees
Learn real-time market insights and best practices from a community of 160+ like-minded Sola franchisees on our discussion board and resource center.

"It’s a very seamless process with Sola. They give you everything that you’re ever going to need to be successful." Scott Ditsworth
"It’s allowed me to broaden my investment scope and focus on a bigger picture." Shay Stevenson
"When we first opened Sola, I thought you were lying if you said we could have 10. Now 25 is very obviously in our sights." Austin Campbell
