Image Studios Franchise Model Overview

IMAGE Studios franchisees lease or buy existing building space of roughly 4,000 to 8,500 square feet and convert it into a salon mall of individual, turn-key studios, typically 10 by 10 feet or larger, rented to independent hair stylists, nail artists, estheticians and massage therapists. Each tenant runs their own book and appointments; the franchisee's job is leasing, recruiting professionals, facility maintenance and selling add-on services such as cleaning, marketing and technology. That makes this closer to specialized commercial real estate than a salon, with no stylist payroll to manage. The investment is heavy, driven mostly by leasehold improvements and studio fixtures, and revenue depends on occupancy, which the franchisor's Item 19 breaks out by occupancy tier. Local marketing spend is elevated until the location passes 70 percent occupancy. The owner or a trained manager must supervise day to day. The system has grown steadily, from 69 to 129 locations over three years, almost all franchised.

Ideal owner profile

Investor comfortable with a build-out-heavy, real-estate-style business driven by occupancy
Capital or financing for a high six- to seven-figure leasehold build-out
Strong at recruiting, networking and retaining independent beauty professionals as tenants
Semi-absentee possible with a trained manager supervising day-to-day operations
Multi-unit investors can use the development agreement for two to six salons
