Sola Salon Studios South Sound

"Fresh chocolate color 🍫 + a little trim = feeling refreshed and new.

Un hermoso color chocolate 🍫 + un pequeño corte = sintiéndose renovada y fresca." - DLS Creations Salon - Sola Salon, Sola Tacoma

Absolutely delicious!

Most new barbers spend their first few years building a client list. Rashleigh Béaton spent his time building community. ✨

Meet Rashleigh Béaton, Visionary 2026. The founder of VYBZ Essential Studio is only three years into his barbering career, but his Sola story started even earlier, as a barber student attending Sola’s Canvas Me retreat in 2023. In 2024, he returned to Sola Sessions as part of John Mosley’s team, teaching educational classes alongside the very pros he looked up to.

His suite at Sola is more than a workspace. It’s a space to show up as his full self, and to build the same sense of community he found at Sola into his own business, whether that’s through back-to-school drives, community discounts, or just showing up with integrity every day.

“It was never just about renting a suite. It’s about having a space to be my authentic self.”

We’re proud to welcome Rashleigh to the Faces of Sola Visionaries 2026 cohort. 💛

"This is how I know summer is here, love me a BIG chop! What I love even more is that these 2 clients know each other and one did the pixie a week before and it spurred the other to follow suit!!!

If your hair chops don’t encourage them to chop off all their hair, are u even friends?!? lol!" - Kate, Sola Tacoma

If you're gonna go BIG then do it with the BEST! Great work! 🙌🔥😎

Hair. Nails. Skin. Lashes. Ink. 💛

Whatever your craft, Sola Puyallup & Tacoma have a space for it. Our pros run fully independent businesses in private studios — setting their own hours and prices, and building something that's completely theirs.

If you've been thinking about making the leap, we'd love to show you around. DM us to schedule a tour.

Some people build a business. Others build something that means something. ✨

Meet Pich Seng, Visionary 2026. In just four years behind the chair, Pich has built Beautybypich LLC from the ground up, self-funded, intentional, and rooted in purpose from day one.

As a first-generation immigrant who began her career after losing her mom, Pich’s suite in NW Houston is more than a salon. It’s a space built on resilience, care, and the belief that independence is a form of leadership.

She creates seasonal pop-ups, collaborates with local businesses, and makes every client feel like they belong there. And if you’ve ever been in her chair, you know the conversation is just as good as the hair.

She’s only getting started, with a long-term vision to grow into a multi-chair salon that mentors the next generation of stylists.

“It was never just about working independently. It’s about building something rooted in care.”

"Beach-proof. Pool-proof. Vacation-proof. ☀️✨" - Alex, Sola Puyallup

Wonderful! 😍🙌✨

Happy 4th of July from your local Sola family.

Today we're celebrating independence in every sense of the word — and we're lucky enough to be surrounded by it every single day. 😉

Every pro inside our walls has bet on themselves, built something of their own, and shown up on their own terms. That's the spirit of independence, and it never gets old.

Wishing you a safe and celebratory Fourth. 🎆

Absolutely blue-tiful work by Ashley! 💙

The right tools make independence even better. ✨
