The beauty industry has been in business for centuries. For Sola Salons, its entry has been strategic and purposeful to the extent that it has created value for both the customer and the franchisee. Sola Salons leverages existing real estate spaces to provide space for beauty professionals to potentially actualize their dreams.

Sola Salons' underlying model is hinged on the principle of creating ready-to-move-in spaces for estheticians, nail technicians, massage therapists, and hairdressers. The value proposition is that franchisees have the chance to be relieved of the burden of the traditional salon ownership model. As a beauty professional, this means that you can have a ready-to-use salon space, which can reduce the stress and tension of setting up from scratch.

After its founding in 2004 and subsequent franchising in 2006, Sola Salons has over 500 locations across the U.S.

Having understood the operational model, the question that comes to your mind is most likely, "How and why should I consider investing in such a model?"

This ranking is based on an evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

Sola Salons has managed to achieve international expansion by expanding into Brazil and Canada with the ambition to expand even further in its long-term strategy.
