IMAGE Studios Franchise Opportunity

A luxury, real-estate-focused franchise that empowers beauty and wellness entrepreneurs, IMAGE Studios® is redefining the salon suite category with sophisticated design, streamlined operations and unparalleled franchisee support. With more than 120 locations and zero closures throughout its 12-year history, the brand has established a proven model uniquely positioned to capture rapid industry growth as the $88 billion health, wellness and beauty industry continues to expand.

IMAGE Studios offers a premium experience rooted in high-end aesthetics and community. Unlike traditional salon suites that can feel purely transactional, the brand creates “wow” environments where beauty professionals — from hairstylists and estheticians to medspa practitioners and creative service providers — can build thriving, independent businesses. This diverse tenant mix expands the brand’s addressable market and generates a dynamic ecosystem that fuels referrals, retention and strong occupancy.

IMAGE Studios franchisees operate a business backed by a recognizable luxury brand while benefiting from the stability of a real estate investment. The simple, scalable model requires no prior industry experience and typically operates with zero employees, all while offering franchisees the fulfillment of supporting local entrepreneurs in their community.

From remote-first onboarding to weekly executive coaching, financial and real estate guidance, and access to a powerful peer network, franchisees receive comprehensive, experience-driven support throughout ownership. IMAGE Studios has carefully grown to ensure long-term success, which means substantial prime-market white space remains — including major metros like Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington D.C., Houston, Phoenix and more.

Key aspects of the IMAGE Studios business model include a real estate–driven investment with strong demand tailwinds, a luxury design-forward approach that elevates professionals’ businesses, a broad tenant strategy that reduces category risk, and a streamlined operational structure that enables scalability and strong work-life balance for owners.
