Hygiene
Sanitation systems, tool sterilization, station discipline, and the habits that protect every client visit.
CRITERIA
The SOLA Standard
Five pillars that define a salon clients can trust — and that you can stand behind with confidence.
Management
Floor leadership, scheduling integrity, complaint handling, and the operational clarity behind a calm service.
Interior design & environment
Spatial planning, lighting, finishes, and the overall atmosphere of the salon — how the room supports comfort, professionalism, and a polished client experience.
Staff technical capability
Training depth, technique consistency, and whether skill on the floor matches the promise on the profile.
Service quality
Consultation, timing, finishing, and the composed experience clients remember after they leave.
What verification gives you
When your salon is SOLA verified, clients know they are walking into a place that has been independently reviewed — hygiene, management, skill, service, and environment held to a clear standard. That certainty is rare, and it is what makes the badge meaningful.
For you as an owner, verification is quiet confidence: your salon has been measured, documented, and recognised. You can truly believe your salon is a good salon — not because you say so, but because an expert has verified it.
Each review produces a written report and a grade. Verified salons then join the SOLA app — an exclusive guide of verified, high-quality salons, open only to those who meet the standard.
