The best business move an esthetician can make
Most estheticians leave commission-based work because the numbers make sense. With a Sola suite, you pay a flat weekly rate and keep everything your practice earns beyond that, from services to retail and add-ons. A successful transition starts with knowing your take-home, trusting that strong client results build loyalty, and making changes in a way that feels manageable for both you and your clients.

Licensed estheticians who made the move to Sola
I always knew I’d flourish as a Sola boss. Being part of Sola has connected me with the right people and a community unlike anything I’ve experienced. I’ve built meaningful relationships and genuinely love the environment—it feels like a team, just with our own doors.
I love the freedom to create my own space—I turned mine into a relaxing tropical forest—and being around other beauty pros makes it even better. The move-in was seamless, and it’s more than a studio—it’s a place to grow and connect.
I’ve worked in other salon suites, but Sola stands out. The studios are spacious with great storage, the shared spaces are beautiful and well-kept, and the location is convenient with plenty of parking. Management is supportive, the day-to-day runs smoothly, and my clients and I love the space.

What kind of treatments can I offer from a Sola suite?
Your treatment menu is entirely yours to build. Facials, chemical peels, waxing, dermaplaning, lash services, body treatments — if it's within your state license scope, you decide what you offer, how you price it, and how you deliver it.
Do I need a specific license to operate independently as an esthetician?
You'll need a valid state esthetician license to practice, the same license you already hold. Requirements vary by state, and your local Sola team deals with this question regularly. Reach out to the nearest Sola location and they can point you toward the right resources for your market.
Can I sell skincare products directly from my suite?
Yes, and retail is one of the most straightforward ways to grow revenue as an independent esthetician. You select the lines you believe in, stock what makes sense for your clientele, and keep everything you sell.
What does the client experience look like in a private suite versus a shared spa floor?
Significantly different. In a shared spa environment, clients are navigating a waiting room, front desk check-in, and other professionals moving through the space. In a Sola suite, the entire experience is one-on-one from the moment they walk in. That privacy deepens the client relationship and tends to drive stronger retention and referrals.
