"Since inception, our mission to provide our Sola professionals with the education and inspiration they need to have long-lasting and successful careers in the beauty salon space has been our highest priority," said Rachel Vaughn, Vice President of Marketing at Sola Salons. "After two consecutive virtual Sola Sessions and being separated from our family of Sola professionals, we couldn't be happier to finally have everyone back together in person to connect and learn from the industry's top educators. Hosting this first-ever, three-day Sola Sessions event in our hometown of Denver left our professionals feeling reinvigorated and ready to achieve the goals they've set for their business."
