Zola Zula Solutions, LLC

ABOUT US

Zola Zula began her endeavors just by a mere thought..

She saw a continued lack of hairstyle alternative products, not only for women but for men also! She decided people of any gender or race should have other options that fit their hair needs. Whether it's lovely locs, braids, long luscious hair, or just a plain ole bad hair day, she wanted to be able to help. She started to create a fashionable hair accessory for both men and women. She also offers to help men and women wrap their hair up beautifully in what she likes to refer to as a "crown", also known as a head wrap.

While finding a modern hairstyle alternative for her fellow neighbors, she then noticed another problem. Trash that plagues our city streets! She did her research on a resolution to this issue and organized a bi-annual cleanup, which just wasn't enough to see a lasting difference. She decided to take it to the streets and get her hands dirty in some trash. Now offering a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly trash pickup service; also assisting in organizing community trash pickups for your entire neighborhood to take part in, BUT SHE DIDN'T STOP THERE

While we all love a clean neighborhood, we also love a clean and organized sacred space even better! She takes special time and effort to spiritually cleanse not only your neighborhood but your home as well. “Cleanliness is next to godliness” is her favorite saying of all time and it's also a very true statement. The peace she receives from a cleansed space is like no other. She wanted to share her experience with whoever else is looking for peace and spiritual/mental/emotional release! Her special concoction while cleaning, will leave you feeling rejuvenated for sure!

SAVING PEOPLE'S VIBRANT SPIRIT...

ONE PERSON.

ONE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME.
