“Our main focus is to enhance our offerings and provide the highest level of customer service to the salon professionals who choose Sola,” says Jennie Wolff, Sola Salon Studios. “This includes building better relationships both nationally and locally, and developing communities for the stylists to be a part of / learn from.
