For a lot of couples, the question is not whether to build something together. It’s what to build. For Terrance and Priscilla Glover, the answer was an IMAGE Studios franchise in Manassas, Virginia, and they did not stop at one. Before their first studio even opened, they were already planning their second.

Their story is a case study in what happens when two people bring complementary skills, a shared purpose, and a clear-eyed business plan to franchise ownership. For couples exploring what their next chapter could look like, the Glovers offer a real look at what is possible.

Why the Glovers Chose IMAGE Studios

Terrance came to the partnership with business experience. Priscilla brought a background in the salon industry. Together, they were looking for a way to build additional income streams while creating more time for family, and a franchise-matching firm connected them with IMAGE Studios.

What sealed the decision was the brand itself. Priscilla was drawn to IMAGE Studios' luxury aesthetic and the model that lets both salon suite professionals and clients experience an upscale environment without the overhead of a traditional salon. Terrance said IMAGE felt distinct and premium compared to the other franchise concepts they evaluated. For a couple weighing multiple options, that combination of premium positioning and a proven, franchisor-supported model made IMAGE Studios the clear choice.

Two People, Two Roles, One Business

One of the clearest strengths in the Glovers' partnership is how naturally their responsibilities divide. Priscilla leads studio tours, IMAGE Pro relations, and recruitment, and she coaches beauty, health, and wellness professionals through the process of licensed business ownership. Terrance manages finances, build-out, and operational support.

That division of labor has paid off in ways beyond efficiency. When Priscilla was in a minor car accident, Terrance stepped in and completed a scheduled tour without missing a beat. It is a small example of a bigger pattern: when both partners are invested and equipped to run different sides of the business, the studio keeps moving even when life does not go as planned.

Recruiting is another area where the Glovers lead with intention. They focus on culture fit and clear communication, and they hold every Pro to the same standards around business licensing and studio conduct, including a no-children policy that protects the professional environment for beauty, health, and wellness Pros and their clients alike.

From One Studio to Three: A Franchise Growth Plan Built In From Day One

The Glovers did not open Manassas and wait to see how it performed before thinking about what came next. Opening multiple locations was the plan from the start. They began work on a second studio in Alexandria before Manassas had even opened its doors, and they have committed to a third once the right real estate comes together. Finding a space with the right layout, particularly workable bathrooms, has been their biggest site-selection hurdle so far, along with the usual construction and vendor timelines that come with any buildout.

That is the kind of scalable thinking IMAGE Studios is built to support. The brand's organized systems, blueprints, and owner resources gave the Glovers the confidence to move forward on multiple markets even though neither of them had run a salon suite business before. Priscilla has pointed to the peer network of fellow franchise owners, through visits, calls, and shared conversations, as one of the most valuable parts of the support system.

Rooted in Community

For the Glovers, ownership is not only about building a business. It is about becoming a fixture in their community. Priscilla volunteers with a local women's shelter and plans to bring shelter residents into the studio for complimentary makeovers as the business matures. Terrance has spoken about wanting their studios to be community staples that partner with local organizations and give back through events and services for people who may not otherwise have access.

Early signs point to a warm reception. The Manassas studio has already earned strong Google reviews, and cross-referrals among the beauty and wellness professionals working inside the studio are building momentum organically. As a business led by a husband-and-wife team putting down roots in Manassas, the Glovers see that identity as central to how their community has welcomed them, and they are planning an end-of-August grand opening to celebrate the milestone.

Is an IMAGE Studios Franchise Right for You?

The Glovers' story is a preview of what is possible for partners who want to build a business together rather than separately. IMAGE Studios gives couples a franchise model with a defined operating system, a premium brand already recognized in the beauty, health and wellness space, and the flexibility for each partner to lead in the areas where they are strongest, whether that is finance and operations or Pro relationships and recruitment.
