Sola Salons Expands with a Location in San Bernardino, California

San Bernardino, CA— Sola Salons, the industry leader in supporting independent beauty professionals through private, move-in-ready salon suites, is excited to announce the opening of its newest location in San Bernardino, California at 625 E. Hospitality Lane.

“We are thrilled to bring the Sola Salons brand to San Bernardino,” said Scott Thompson, chief development officer of Radiance Holdings. “Sola Salons offers an incredible franchise opportunity because it allows beauty professionals to thrive independently while providing franchisees with a straightforward and scalable business model. With our extensive support, proven track record and strong community, there’s never been a better time to join the Sola family.”

The San Bernardino location is owned and operated by Nader Hashual, Ronny Hashual, and Ramzi Salem. Together, they bring decades of experience and a strong commitment to supporting independent beauty professionals. Nader and Ronny have been part of the Sola Salons system for five years, successfully developing a three-location portfolio.

Their journey with Sola began a decade ago in partnership with franchisee Scott Ditsworth, with whom they opened their first three locations. Beyond their work with Sola, Nader and Ronny run a well-established business services firm in San Diego, founded by their father over 40 years ago. Ramzi Salem adds to the team’s expertise with over 30 years of experience in real estate, also based in San Diego, bringing valuable insights into property development and management.

“We’re proud to continue our journey with Sola Salons by opening this new location,” said Nader Hashual. “At a time when technology continues to disrupt so many industries, it’s refreshing to be part of something that celebrates creativity, personal connection, and human skill—something AI can’t replace.”

The new Sola Salons in San Bernardino will feature 21 fully equipped private salon suites designed to allow entrepreneurs such as hairdressers, estheticians, nail technicians and massage therapists to run their businesses with complete autonomy. The Sola Salons franchise owner takes care of all common areas, including entryways, bathrooms and break rooms, ensuring that beauty professionals can focus entirely on their clients and their craft. Suites can be modified to accommodate each individual professional.

Unlike other franchise models that require extensive hands-on management, Sola Salons allows owners to enjoy a flexible and scalable business model. “There is no on-site staff, minimal equipment maintenance, no inventory or receivables and predictable expenses,” said Lori Merrall, vice president of franchise sales. “That is why over 75% of Sola Salons franchisees own multiple units, many of which choose to expand their existing franchise portfolio with the concept.”

Sola Salons’ expansion into San Bernardino is part of the brand’s broader growth strategy, which includes plans to open up to 275 new locations nationwide over the next few years by offering a turnkey franchise opportunity that enables entrepreneurs to own a piece of the $100 billion U.S. beauty industry. Today, Sola Salons has expanded to over 730 locations nationwide and over 20,000 beauty professionals. The brand was recently ranked No. 72 on Entrepreneur’s 2024 Franchise 500.

In 2004, Sola Salons was established with the opening of its first location in Denver, Colorado. Now with more than 730 locations open in the U.S.

and Canada, Sola is proud to offer 20,000+ independent beauty professionals the freedom and benefits of salon ownership without the risk and overhead of opening a traditional salon. Its innovative salon model empowers hairdressers, estheticians, nail techs, massage therapists and other like-minded professionals to take control of their lives and their careers. Sola provides beauty professionals with beautiful, fully-equipped salon studios alongside the support and tools they need to launch their salon business in no time.
