Sola Salon Studios Opens New Woodbury Location

Few things are as soothing as a trip to the salon. The endless pampering, jib-jab and makeover opportunities make it tempting to squeeze an extra visit in between the usual haircut. Now, with the opening of Sola Salon Studios in Woodbury Lakes this summer, scheduling an appointment just became easier and more affordable for beauty professionals and clients alike.Founded in 2004, Sola Salon Studios’ unique business structure allows professionals to rent space and determine their own rates, specials, schedule and room design. “Sola and the salon studio concept is a win-win for everyone,” says Patrick Elgin, owner of Sola’s Roseville and Woodbury locations.Of the 36 studios at Woodbury Lakes, each is rented by a licensed salon manager. “I owned a salon and spa for 12 years, and going into this from that gave me a feeling of freedom,” says Laura Rangel, who moved her business, 65th Street Salon & Studio, inside Sola. “It takes the stress away so I can concentrate on my guests, and it’s a better experience.”
