The studio

A salon built
around the light

SOLÉ opened in 2019 in an old plaster cottage on Coast Highway. We kept the arches, painted the doors terracotta and planted olive trees at every window.

Elena Marchetti spent her childhood summers in her grandmother's village on the Ligurian coast. Long lunches, salt in your hair, nobody in a hurry. SOLÉ is her way of bringing that feeling home.

After twelve years behind the chair in Los Angeles, Elena wanted somewhere slower. A studio where the colour is softer, the appointments are longer, and every guest leaves looking like herself on her best holiday.

Today SOLÉ is five stylists, six chairs and two basins that look out over the water. We are known for lived-in blonde, copper, curls and cuts that air-dry well. We still close on Mondays to go to the beach.

How we work

  1. 01

    Unhurried

    One guest per stylist at a time. No double-booking, no rushing your finish.

  2. 02

    Soft on hair

    Bond repair in every lightening service and heat tools kept low. Healthy hair holds colour.

  3. 03

    Honest advice

    If something won't suit your hair or your routine, we'll say so and suggest what will.
