About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in New England, customers of Sola Salons noticed something peculiar after their appointments. A little girl who lived down the street would always run up to them with a big smile and ask if they’d seen her hair that day—it had changed color every time she visited. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the salon for his monthly trim. When he left, his usually gray mustache was bright red. The next week, he showed up wearing lipstick and blush to match. Turns out, the little girl had been borrowing her mom’s makeup stash—and everyone in town now knew Uncle Harry liked to dress up as a clown on weekends.

2. In a quiet neighborhood of Los Angeles, a delivery driver pulled up to Sola Salons one morning. As he opened the van door, an unusual scent wafted through the air—a mix of fresh flowers and warm cookies. Curious, he sniffed again, realizing it seemed to come from inside the salon. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. Deciding to investigate further, he peeked inside and saw only empty chairs and mirrors. Then, from behind him, came another whiff—this time stronger—and he turned around to see a smiling woman holding a tray of freshly baked cookies. 'Morning!' she said brightly. 'We’re usually closed today, but I guess our secret cookie recipe just got out.'

3. A few months ago, a delivery driver pulling up to Sola Salons asked himself: ‘Why does that lady always wave from her window?’ Turns out, she was waving at him every day because she recognized his truck and enjoyed chatting with him over the fence. They started exchanging waves, then small talk, until one morning he brought her a fresh bouquet of flowers as thanks for the friendly greetings. Now they’re regulars at each other’s places—him delivering goods, her sharing homemade cookies.

4. In a bustling city district, a delivery driver pulling up to Sola Salons found himself locked out of his truck. As he frantically searched for his keys, an elderly woman walking by paused and asked, ‘Honey, are you lost?’ Turns out, she was the salon’s owner, Mrs. Lee, who offered him a seat in her waiting room until he could call for help. With a twinkle in her eye, she said, 'Now, dear, next time maybe you should bring your keys inside!' The delivery driver left with a smile, feeling both grateful and slightly embarrassed.
