Invest in Beauty's Most Luxurious Business Model

With the broader health, wellness, and beauty market consistently growing, salon suites catering to these segments are continuing to succeed. 

Nearly 2 million beauty professionals are working as hairstylists, massage therapists, lash artists, and more. Many of them are seeking an opportunity to take control of their careers and futures. Salon suites give these professionals the chance to run their own business — setting their schedules, deciding their prices, and keeping more of what they earn, all without the heavy upfront costs and overhead of a traditional salon.

Over the next 10 years, the number of beauty professionals is expected to grow to 2.2 million or more, and the salon suites market is expected to exceed 8,600 locations. This growth, combined with strategic expansion within the salon suites space to include other concepts that are beauty or wellness-adjacent, like boutique florists and specialty photographers, widens the total addressable market even further.

IMAGE Studios is a distinguished provider in the salon suites space due to its luxury approach. Common spaces and suites are intentionally designed to be both beautiful and functional, with a major focus on the experience of both the beauty professionals and their clients. 

A modular layout means franchisees can accommodate a wide variety of beauty, wellness, and other adjacent concepts without major reconfiguration.

Franchisees are drawn to IMAGE Studios thanks to its strong business model and the lifestyle it can provide entrepreneurs.

IMAGE Studios empowers owners with remote training, weekly calls, and business coaching to support growth. With a multi-layer support system, owners do not need prior experience in the beauty or wellness industry. Rather, they can leverage the real estate play to support other entrepreneurs in chasing their dreams of independent business ownership.

Further, the owner-operator model means most studios have zero employees; this way, franchisees don’t have to manage a large staff and maintain control over their businesses. As they scale, IMAGE Studios franchisees may leverage contracted teams and hire a manager or operator, but even with multiple locations, it’s a very labor-light model.
