About IMAGE Studios® Franchise

In 2009 brothers Jason Olsen & Shaun Olsen began discussing the possibility of creating a co-working salon space that offered professionals in the beauty industry something that would truly disrupt the traditional salon business model, effectively making a much-needed shift in the industry by offering a studio salon space that catered to all beauty professionals, including hair stylists, estheticians, nail techs, massage therapists and more.  After many late night meetings, phone calls, road trips across the country (and sketches on who knows how many napkins) IMAGE Studios® became a reality as they opened their first of many locations in Salt Lake City, Utah. After their 5th location opened in 2015, they began preparations to launch IMAGE Studios® Franchise nationwide.

WHAT IS IMAGE?

IMAGE Studios® builds modern and luxurious salon studios for salon professionals who are looking to open their own business, but may not want to undertake the typical investment to build out a traditional brick and mortar salon (plus manage all those employees). Think WeWork, or Regis, but custom built for salon professionals. Enjoy the strength and stability of the beauty industry, combined with the fact that we are helping create thousands of entrepreneurs across the country who have dreamed of opening their own salon but never had the chance.

CORE VALUES

Early on as IMAGE Studios® began to scale Shaun and I sat down and spent considerable time identifying our core values. We wanted to articulate what was driving us in this endeavor, and it was quickly discovered that CREATIVITY, FREEDOM & SUCCESS were the fundamental values that were important to us as founders.

There is an entire universe of values out there in the business world but these core values truly embody everything we do at IMAGE Studios®. They guide our company and define our culture, they help explain why we do business the way we do, they guide us in making decisions, and they articulate what we stand for.

These core values resonate with each person who is part of the IMAGE Studios® family which is why we find such a close connection with each of our team members, our franchisees, and our salon professionals.We are excited to show you more about this incredible opportunity that is redefining the salon industry as we know it.
