These agreements mark an exciting expansion in the Southeast, where Chidsey will continue to grow&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/sola-salons/info">Sola Salons’</a> unique blend of independence and entrepreneurial support to local professionals.“We are excited to celebrate Haynes’s growth with the Sola Salons family,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-thompson-618a91?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sola-salons-announces-franchise-expansion-in-port-orange-florida-lakeland-florida-greenville-south-carolina-2729710" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scott Thompson</a>, chief development officer of Sola’s parent company,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.weareradianceholdings.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sola-salons-announces-franchise-expansion-in-port-orange-florida-lakeland-florida-greenville-south-carolina-2729710" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Radiance Holdings</a>. “Haynes shares our passion for supporting beauty professionals and is the perfect partner to help us expand our presence in the Southeast.”Chidsey’s franchising journey with Sola Salons began before the brand had even launched. As a former colleague of the company’s founders, he was involved from the earliest stages, ultimately becoming one of Sola’s first franchisees. His decision to join the brand wasn’t driven by a desire to enter franchising, but rather by his longstanding trust in the founders and belief in their vision.With a background in finance and operations, Chidsey found that the Sola model aligned well with his skill set. He appreciated the business’s simplicity, especially in contrast to more complex franchise systems like food or hospitality. That simplicity allowed him and his team to focus on delivering a high-quality experience to their customers without the distractions that often come with more logistically demanding operations. He owns more than 50 units and shows no signs of slowing down.“We operate in four states — North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida — and we’re looking to grow in all four,” Chidsey said. “More than just growth, though, our most important goal is to develop our team. We invest a lot of time, effort and money in recruiting, retaining and training our team to provide the best possible customer experience. That’s just as important to us as expanding to more locations.”Sola Salons offers a turnkey franchise opportunity that enables entrepreneurs to own a piece of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/beauty-personal-care/worldwide?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sola-salons-announces-franchise-expansion-in-port-orange-florida-lakeland-florida-greenville-south-carolina-2729710" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the $100 billion United States beauty industry</a>.
