Can I use a Sola suite as a professional makeup studio?
Yes, many independent makeup artists use Sola suites as their primary studio space for bridal previews, special event makeup, photoshoots, and client appointments. A private studio allows you to control lighting, setup, and the full client experience in a way that mobile or shared spaces can’t.
Can I bring my own makeup chair, lighting, and kit?
Yes. Most makeup artists bring their own professional makeup chair, lighting (such as ring lights or LED panels), and full kit setup. You have full control over how your makeup studio is arranged and how you work.
Is there enough space for bridal makeup appointments or group bookings?
Most suites are ideal for one-on-one makeup appointments, including bridal trials and lessons.
If you regularly book bridal parties or group makeup services, some locations offer larger studios. Ask your local Sola location about suite sizes that fit your business needs.
What makes a private makeup studio better than working freelance or in a salon?
A private makeup studio gives you more control than both freelance (mobile) and traditional salon work. At Sola, you can:
Create a consistent, professional client experience
Control your set-up and environment
Build your personal brand
Keep what you earn
