Autumn Morris, GlamLocks Hair Lounge | Encinitas, CA Why Sola? Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity! I love Sola Salon Studios for so many more reasons then I ever thought was possible! The opportunity to increase your revenue is beyond what you could ever imagine. The growth that I’ve experienced in the last 3 1/2 years I’ve been at Sola gives me goose bumps! Once I made the move, I had the ability to sell retail, rent out part of my studio, train an assistant as well as develop my own product line and service my clients with a more personal touch. These are just some of the many reasons why I LOVE SOLA! My 2016 Sola Goals: I love setting goals! Every year, I create a vision board and it’s great to look back to see what you've accomplished throughout the year! This coming year at Sola, I would love to continue to be a spokesperson and inspire other stylists to join the Sola family! I want to get my product–GlamLocks Hair Care–on the Sola Professional website so I can share it with other stylists. I’m so proud to offer a refreshing solution that fits a specific need for our clients! I plan on taking GlamLocks nationwide, reaching one stylist at a time. With that, I will share how Sola helped me fulfill my dreams! Another one of my goals is to expand my Sola studio! I have visions of growing within Sola by adding a reception and retail area as well as an extension bar. I’d like to continue to help build my assistant as well so she can take over running the studio while I work on marketing my product! With Sola the opportunities are endless! Here’s to 2016! Kim Bennett Horvath, Kim Bennett Studios | Centennial, CO Why Sola? I love Sola because there are no limits to achieving all my dreams in both my professional and personal life. When I opened my Sola Studio almost 12 years ago I was thankful just to be a salon owner. I could have never imagined all the growth, success and happiness that would be in my future. I love Sola because it's my family! My 2016 Sola Goals: My salon goals are always to grow and increase my numbers! I hope to learn and be more open to advances in technology for my business. I look forward to connecting with more Sola Professionals as they inspire me everyday! Holly Santelli, Serendipity Beauty Parlour | Park Ridge, IL Why Sola? Sola feels like home to me. I feel so much peace and love every time I walk in the door of my beautiful salon. Opening my salon was the very best thing that I have done for myself. Sola has provided more opportunities for me than I ever dreamed could happen. I have grown so much and been able to express myself in so many ways since opening my business at Sola. I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to have my business inside of Sola Salons. My 2016 Sola Goals: I have several goals for 2016, the first being organization. I spend so much time behind the chair and really need to be better organized on the business side of things. My second goal is to get my website up and running and do a little blogging. I also plan to take some advanced academy/master classes and to become an American Board Certified Colorist. If the opportunity arises to expand within Sola, I will definitely be doing that! Maybe a little redecorating too. Lastly, I hope to just be better as a person and a stylist everyday and to keep finding more ways to spread the love and be the light. Derek Williams, Derek W.

Sola has afforded me the opportunity to work for myself and showcase my premier services and nail techniques. The layout provides me a space that gives my guests the special one on one attention they deserve. Sola has helped me progress my business and to start asking more questions on how to further develop my business. What more can I do for my guests? Where can I improve and learn? Sola is an innovative company that pushes me to think out of the box everyday. I love that Sola has given me a platform to work for myself and create my own schedule. Sola has given me a community and family within this company. New friends, ways to collaborate, networking, ideas, and the biggest of all, support. Support from the company, the Colorado Springs owners, my fellow salon owners (near and far)…my heart is full. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined a company going above and beyond to make me feel like they need me (and us) to thrive and move forward together. My 2016 Sola Goals: The New Year 2016 is going to open new doors and experiences! My goals are to brand my company with new ventures, move into a larger suite, an
