We are thrilled to share that IMAGE Studios has officially reached a monumental milestone: 136 locations open across 29 states! This incredible achievement was recently featured by the International Franchise Association (IFA), highlighting our rapid expansion and the mounting national recognition of our brand.
A Year of Record-Breaking Success
Our growth in 2026 is a testament to the passion of our franchise partners and the beauty professionals who call IMAGE home. After surpassing 100 studios early last year, we have continued to scale with intention. We are especially proud to be ranked number 265 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2026 Franchise 500 list, jumping an impressive 79 spots from last year.
Empowering Entrepreneurs Across the Country
From debuting in new markets to being named a Top Franchise for Women by Franchise Business Review, our focus remains on supporting independent beauty and wellness entrepreneurs. As our CEO, Jason Olsen, shared, this momentum is a direct reflection of our sophisticated owner community and our commitment to providing a best-in-class luxury salon suite experience.
