The best business move an esthetician can make
Most estheticians leave commission-based work because the numbers make sense. With a Sola suite, you pay a flat weekly rate and keep everything your practice earns beyond that, from services to retail and add-ons. A successful transition starts with knowing your take-home, trusting that strong client results build loyalty, and making changes in a way that feels manageable for both you and your clients.

Licensed estheticians who made the move to Sola
I always knew I’d flourish as a Sola boss. Being part of Sola has connected me with the right people and a community unlike anything I’ve experienced. I’ve built meaningful relationships and genuinely love the environment—it feels like a team, just with our own doors.
I love the freedom to create my own space—I turned mine into a relaxing tropical forest—and being around other beauty pros makes it even better. The move-in was seamless, and it’s more than a studio—it’s a place to grow and connect.
I’ve worked in other salon suites, but Sola stands out. The studios are spacious with great storage, the shared spaces are beautiful and well-kept, and the location is convenient with plenty of parking. Management is supportive, the day-to-day runs smoothly, and my clients and I love the space.
Sola gave me the freedom to build my business exactly as I envisioned. Sola has been genuinely accommodating and supportive. It’s been the perfect setup for running an independent business with room to grow.
Opening my studio at Sola has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. It has allowed me to create a personalized experience for my clients while giving me the independence, support, and resources to continue growing as both an entrepreneur and an aesthetician.

What kind of treatments can I offer from a Sola suite?
Your treatment menu is entirely yours to build. Facials, chemical peels, waxing, dermaplaning, lash services, body treatments — if it's within your state license scope, you decide what you offer, how you price it, and how you deliver it.
Do I need a specific license to operate independently as an esthetician?
You'll need a valid state esthetician license to practice, the same license you already hold. Requirements vary by state, and your local Sola team deals with this question regularly. Reach out to the nearest Sola location and they can point you toward the right resources for your market.
How can estheticians customize a Sola suite for their practice and brand?
Estheticians can fully design their Sola suite to reflect their brand and treatment style, from calming decor and lighting to equipment layout, creating a space that feels distinctly their own.
What equipment is included with a Sola esthetician suite, and what do estheticians need to bring?
Sola suites typically come with core fixtures like a sink and cabinetry. Estheticians generally bring their own treatment table, skincare devices, and product line. Check with your local Sola team for location-specific details.
How can estheticians transition existing clients to a private esthetician suite?
A successful transition includes updating your booking information, announcing your move through social media, and personally reaching out to your regular clients.
Can I sell skincare products directly from my suite?
Yes, and retail is one of the most straightforward ways to grow revenue as an independent esthetician. You select the lines you believe in, stock what makes sense for your clientele, and keep everything you sell.
How does Sola's community support independent estheticians?
Sola provides a built-in community of fellow beauty professionals, along with access to education, events, and business resources, so estheticians can grow their independent practice while staying connected to a supportive network.
Can I share my esthetician suite rental with another esthetician?
Suite-sharing availability varies by location. Contact your local Sola team to learn more.
