During the event, a stunned Katie Oakes from Savannah, Georgia was called on stage as she was officially unveiled as the 10,000th salon owner. “After I left my last job, I showed up at Sola with my mother, signed a lease and never looked back. It’s been the best thing and the community has been great. Sola has given me the freedom to be my own boss and the space to be myself,” commented Oakes. Nodding to Sola’s legacy of creating a community of like-minded, independent, creative owners, Kim added, “During my 14 years, it’s been amazing to hear and share thousands of different stories. 10,000 owners, each connected through Sola, is something I could not have imagined at the start. Congratulations to all of the Sola 10,000!”
