Sola Salon Studios at 2727 SW Wanamaker in Topeka brings together beauty professionals in hair, nails, tattoos and more under one roof. Sola Salon Studios leases quality studio and salon space, providing an opportunity for beauty professionals to own and operate their own business, while facility owners John and Sue Kollhoff take care of maintenance.
“We try to eliminate pain points for stylists and allow them to focus on their art,” John Kollhoff said. “The core of our small business is creating an environment that allows beauty professionals to focus on their business while we take care of the facility, utilities, HVAC and so on.”
Professionals at Sola Salon Studios support each other and refer clients to other stylists for services that they don’t offer.
“It’s a very positive environment,” Kollhoff said. “I feel like everyone wants everyone else to succeed.”
The model has been such a success that the Kollhoffs are looking for the right spot to open a second location in Topeka.
“I love the energy that everyone at Sola brings with them every day. It’s the happiest place I know of,” Kollhoff said.
