IMAGE Studios is redefining the salon suite industry with a luxury real estate franchise model that is simple, stable, and scalable. Franchise owners lease beautifully designed salon suites—typically between 24 to 45 units in 4,000–9,000 square feet of space—to independent beauty and wellness professionals. No employees, minimal overhead, and semi-passive management make this a highly attractive investment.
As a modern salon suite franchise, IMAGE Studios offers strong operational support, a values-driven culture, and an eye-catching, contemporary design that professionals and clients love. It’s more than a beauty business—it's a real estate-based franchise opportunity built for long-term, recurring revenue and growth.
