Sola salon suite leasing vs. working at a traditional salon

At Sola, you will become the owner of your own boutique salon. You have the freedom to determine your service and product prices, retaining all profits. You’ll have a key to your suite, enabling you to set your work hours and maintain exclusive use of your supplies and equipment. Why settle for renting a chair or booth when you can have your personal salon suite at a similar cost?
