About IMAGE Studios
- Beauty, Health, & Wellness is a $88 Billion Dollar a year industry. The salon and spa industry is a vibrant and growing component of the U.S. economy, but franchise establishments represent only 9% of all businesses. This industry is highly fragmented with no clear leader making it the perfect opportunity for Image Studios 360 to become the #1 studio salon franchise in the country. - Not only did the salon and spa industry provide much needed job growth during the sluggish last decade, it is poised to post steady growth well into the future. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, currently there are 1.3M Industry Professionals. That number is expected to grow to 1.9M+ by 2032. - The salon and hair-care industry is a $88-billion-a-year industry that’s growing rapidly year over year. Within that industry, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more stable and scalable franchise chain than Image Studios 360, which is the most sought after studio salon franchise in today's market. What other studio salon franchise out there has beauty AND brains? Image Studios 360 is poised to take over this growing segment of the salon industry over the next 10 years.
Simple. Stable. Scalable. That is what investors and franchisees love about Image Studios 360. Here's how the Image Studios 360 salon studio concept works: we take large retail space around 5,000 square feet and build out 28-32 salon studios (each ranging from 100 square feet 250 square feet) that are leased to beauty professionals such as hair stylists, estheticians, nail techs and massage therapists who operate their own business within their studio. It’s like a mini-mall of hair salons all under one roof, and you’re the landlord. Our systems, strategic marketing and the appeal of our brand helps keep studios fully leased out for optimal return on investment. This provides stable and predictable cash flow for our franchisees, which allows them to focus on growing additional locations or to pursue other interests. Our ongoing training and education programs provided for your tenants helps keep them successful and enables them to run their business better. Enjoy the stability and strength of the beauty industry combined with the reliable rental income from our business model. First time entrepreneurs and experienced investors alike can benefit from this incredible opportunity. Our system will help any new franchisee experience success as an Image Studios 360 operator.
Ideal Candidate
C-level execs, investors, commercial property owners, established beauty professionals, beauty industry educators, etc., are some of the prospects we’ve been working with.We have a lot of interest from other entrepreneurs, however the selection process with those individuals is more difficult due to their need for change (which makes them great entrepreneurs but possibly horrible franchisees).As is the case with most franchisors, we’re seeking franchisees who have a desire to follow a standardized set of systems, operations and procedures.We want people who find value in the Image Studios 360 brand and have a strong desire to reinforce our core values mean in everything they do, and in every way they communicate with our beauty professionals.Our core values of creativity, freedom and success are truly everything Image Studios 360 represents; those individuals who also resonate with those same values make great candidates for awarding a franchise to.
