Beauty Changes Lives has got a huge supporter in Sola Salons for its upcoming “One Day One Ticket” fundraising event.
The studio suite concept and home recently announced its national involvement as the largest salon suite concept to partner with the professional beauty organization’s One Day One Ticket program. For Sola Salons, their participation in the program is a continuation of the company’s partnership with Beauty Changes Lives that first kicked off in 2023.
Now in support of Beauty Changes Lives One Day One Ticket program, participating Sola Salons beauty and wellness pros will be able to donate one “ticket” (or one service cost) from their salon’s business day to the Beauty Changes Lives initiative on Thursday, March 21st. All of the funds raised by Sola Salons beauty pros will be reinvested into the industry through Beauty Changes Lives’ scholarship and mentorship programs.These programs help to not only make the beauty profession a first-choice career, but also elevate the industry for current and future hairstylists, nail technicians, estheticians, and more.
“As the first salon suite concept to partner with Beauty Changes Lives, we understand the significant responsibility and opportunity in future-proofing the beauty industry for current and incoming independent professionals,” said Emily Alders, Director of Education at Sola Salons. “It’s a privilege for our 20,000+ beauty professionals and franchise owners to play a direct role in enhancing accessibility to industry careers through comprehensive mentorship, advanced educational initiatives, and scholarship programs.”
Sola Salons’ philanthropic alliance with Beauty Changes Lives first began with a $25,000 donation to support its first-ever K(no)w Beauty Secrets campaign, which served as a movement to challenge industry perceptions and offer beauty pros a platform to share their personal career journeys. In addition to charitable endeavors with the K(no)w Beauty Secrets campaign and the One Day One Ticket Program, Sola Salons’ partnership with Beauty Changes Lives also includes hands-on mentorship work to guide and coach the new guard of beauty pros.
“Unlike traditional post-secondary schooling, which offers various funding avenues, those pursuing careers in the beauty industry often face limited options,” says Lisa Roeberg, Executive Director for Beauty Changes Lives. “That’s where Beauty Changes Lives steps in! With the generous support of our partners, we’ve transformed the lives of over 1,500 professionals through scholarships, mentorship, advanced education, and business grants. Today, over 90% of our recipients are thriving in the industry! By joining forces with Sola Salons and its vibrant community of beauty professionals, we’re committed to making beauty a first-choice career for generations to come.”
