How it Started:
In 2009, Jason Olsen saw the potential to disrupt the traditional salon industry with a new and innovative business model that would change the way established salon professionals owned and operated their businesses. After many late-night meetings, phone calls, road trips across the country (and sketches on who knows how many napkins), IMAGE Studios® was born. He teamed up with his brother Shaun, and engaged the help of industry pro, Megan Oviatt to help create the first IMAGE Studios® located in Draper, Utah. As IMAGE Studios® continued to develop and grow, we quickly identified our core values of creativity, freedom, and success. There is an entire universe filled with values, 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 salon professionals.
What Experience Do I Need?
The right candidate for an IMAGE Studios® franchise is someone who enjoys being on the cutting edge and wants to be first at a whole new look in an emerging industry with tremendous growth potential. Our brand is pioneering a new look and business model that is changing the salon industry from the inside out, and we’re looking for people who want to take this incredible concept to select markets across the country.
Those who may not be familiar with the beauty industry or have extensive business management and ownership experience are not excluded from our selection process. Most of all, having excellent people skills, organizational skills, and the desire to help others succeed is critical. We have the right system to help any of our new franchisee experience success as an IMAGE Studios® operator. From the very beginning, our core values have been CREATIVITY + FREEDOM + SUCCESS. These core values are critically important to us and we only seek individuals who possess those same values. Together we can create an intoxicating formula for success.
