Hear from those who made the move to Sola as a barber professional
What led me to move into a Sola is that I felt like I was outgrowing the space that I was in… I wanted to have more independence and free rein to offer my clients a great experience.
Being able to customize every experience depending on guest needs changed when I moved into Sola. It became more than just offering a haircut, my space became a haven.
My salon started as a day dream and now it’s my everyday reality. I wanted to create a space where all feel welcome, where each experience is completely tailored to each individual, and simply because short hair deserves pampering too.
I never thought I’d be where I am now, and I want to offer a huge thanks to Sola. From building my business to creating incredible relationships, I am forever grateful.
Being a part of Sola has given me the space and freedom to create the exact ambiance and services I wanted for my clients. The support from the community has been incredible, and it’s allowed me to focus on what I do best while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
Becoming an independent studio owner has single-handedly been the best decision I've made in my life. Having a suite allows me to set the standard of top-tier customer service, set the mood for my clients and be someone they look forward to seeing every week to 3 weeks.

What is included in a barber suite at Sola Salons?
Each suite includes a styling chair, shampoo bowl, sink, mirror, and cabinetry — everything set up so you can focus on clients from day one. Your flat weekly rate covers utilities, Wi-Fi, and laundry access.
How is leasing a salon suite different from working at a traditional salon?
Your studio is a blank canvas. Paint the walls, install your own shelving, hang your logo, display your products. Barbers at Sola build spaces that feel like an extension of their brand.
How many barber chairs can fit inside a Sola studio?
That depends on the suite size, which varies by location. Most barbers start with a single-chair setup. If you're thinking bigger, like a second chair, a shared shift with another barber, or room to grow, larger suites are available at many locations.
Is renting a barber studio more profitable than working in a traditional barbershop?
In most cases, yes. In a traditional barbershop, every cut you do puts money in someone else's pocket through commission or a split. At Sola, you pay one flat weekly rate, and everything above that is yours. The bigger your book gets, the bigger the gap between what you'd earn on commission and what you keep at Sola. Your rent doesn't scale with your success — your income does.
