A New Hair Era For Cardwell

Since opening its doors in August last year, Sola the Salon has become a breath of fresh, stylish air for the Cardwell community.
As the town’s sole salon, Sola has quickly earned its place as a cherished hub of beauty and connection. Owner Tennille Capstick shared her heartfelt gratitude for the warm embrace she’s received from locals.
“Honestly, it’s been overwhelming to see just how kind and generous people are,” Tennille said.
“They’re so grateful to have a hairdresser back in Cardwell, and I’m equally grateful to be part of this beautiful community.”
At Sola the Salon, all your haircutting needs are taken care of, including ladies, men's, children’s, and Tenille’s favourite—colours.

“I have a particular interest in balayage and lived in blonde transformations. That's what I love to do,” said Tennille.

“I love seeing people's faces when you do a big transformation, something that they've never had done before, or perhaps techniques that they've not had done on them before.

“At the end, people will say, ‘I love it,’ and that’s a feel-good moment for me.”

Tennille is a born-and-bred Ingham local. After some time away, she has returned to start her family while also being close to her family, who reside here.

“We love the lifestyle as well the weather, but we love fishing and doing all those sorts of things, which we couldn’t really do where we used to live,” she said.

Tennille travelled around the country but returned to Ingham with her husband in 2020. She found herself in other jobs outside of her passion for hairdressing, but now she is happy to be back in the industry and is looking forward to a busy 2025.
