Salon Freedom is one of the largest franchisees of Sola Salon Studios (“Sola”).  With over 600 locations, Sola is the leading salon suites model in the U.S. and offers independent beauty professionals the freedom and benefits of salon ownership without the risk and overhead of opening a traditional salon.  Sola provides beauty professionals with fully equipped salon studios along with the support and tools they need to launch their own salon business.  Salon Freedom has a proven ability to develop successful Sola franchise locations, with 37 units across Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Tennessee.

GGC completed the recapitalization of Salon Freedom in partnership with Operating Partners Todd Recknagel and Kristi Mailloux.  Todd and Kristi have deep experience in the franchising industry, as both multi-unit franchisees and franchisors, across a number of concepts.  Todd and Kristi serve on Salon Freedom’s board of directors and work closely with the Salon Freedom management team.

Salon Freedom is actively pursuing add-on acquisitions of established Sola locations in new markets beyond its current footprint.
