Sola Salons was founded in 2004 with the dream of doing more than designing beautiful, move-in-ready salon studios. Co-founders Stratton Smith and Matt Briger set out to build a thriving community where independent beauty professionals could create a life and career they loved.
From the beginning, Sola has blazed the trail for the independent beauty pro movement by offering customizable studio space, new levels of creative freedom, and support to those who are inspired to make the transition to independent salon ownership.
Above all, we always put our beauty professionals first, and we pride ourselves on the support we provide inside and outside of the studio to help our community grow.
To inspire and support beauty professionals to chase their dreams, elevate their careers, and experience the freedom of salon ownership.
To put it simply, our brand promise is to always take care of our professionals. We promise to provide them with a beautiful studio and the support and tools they need to be successful so that they can experience the freedom and benefits of salon ownership.
And then we promise to celebrate their success. This is the heart of our business model.
