Sola Salons Hits 750 Locations, Demonstrating Rapid Growth and Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Salon Suite Franchising

DENVER, CO (November 13, 2025) — Sola Salons, the world’s largest studio suite concept and home to more than 21,000 independent beauty professionals, proudly announces the opening of its 750th studio location in Downtown Greenville, South Carolina, marking another historic milestone in the brand’s journey of empowering beauty entrepreneurs. Since launching the salon suite concept in 2004, Sola Salons has led the industry in providing a pathway to entrepreneurial freedom for beauty professionals across the United States and Canada.

“Reaching our 750th location reflects the hard work and commitment of our franchise owners and the strength of the Sola Salons community,” said Daryl Hurst, President & COO of Sola Salons. “This milestone underscores our mission to be the premier destination where health, wellness, and beauty professionals take control of their careers and find lasting success.”

The 8,000-square-foot Greenville location is owned by Four S LLC , whose franchise success story exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit Sola Salons fosters. As a multi-unit franchisee, Four S  has made waves within the Sola Salons system, earning Marketing Partner of the Year and Franchise Growth awards at Sola’s annual franchise conference.

Four S owns and operates 55 Sola Salons locations across four states including Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, demonstrating its expertise in growing the brand while creating spaces for beauty professionals to thrive independently.

“Opening the 750th Sola Salons location is incredibly rewarding,” said Haynes Chidsey, Sola Salons multi-unit franchise CEO. “It’s about more than providing salon suites – it’s about creating an environment where beauty professionals can grow their businesses, connect with their community, and embrace the freedom of entrepreneurship at a local level.”

The new Greenville studio features 39 studios, of which 30% are pre-leased to local beauty professionals  reflecting strong demand for independent ownership. The salon suite model offers minimal overhead, operational flexibility, and a turnkey solution for beauty and wellness professionals and independent entrepreneurs seeking autonomy in their careers. Sola Salons enhances this model by providing comprehensive support through education, marketing initiatives, business & technology resources, community & philanthropic engagement, and success strategies that bring awareness and energy to each independent business.

Sola Salons’ growth contributes to local economic development by creating jobs and supporting small business ownership within communities. As the brand continues its aggressive expansion strategy, new locations like Greenville will play a key role in offering entrepreneurial opportunities to more beauty professionals while strengthening local economies.
