Big news for the Sola community 👏 Congratulations to Dan Karraker on expanding with a new Sola Salons location in Monterey, CA.

As Sola Salons continues to grow, we’re excited to share that we’ve partnered with Tidehouse Agency as our new agency of record for franchise development. This collaboration supports our focus on clearly communicating what makes Sola such a powerful ownership opportunity — from our community-driven model to the long-term scalability of independent beauty ownership. With Tidehouse’s franchise expertise, we’re sharpening how we tell that story for the next generation of Sola owners. Next week, our teams will be together in Denver for an in-person strategy session to align around key priorities and future initiatives. Proud to move forward with the support of our parent company, Radiance Holdings, as we continue building a strong foundation for long-term growth. #franchisedevelopment #franchisegrowth #PRpartnership
