About this Business
Step into a high-end beauty and wellness business with 20 established tenants, recurring rental revenue, and 10 additional suites ready to fill. The space is fully built out, giving a new owner meaningful room to grow revenue within the existing footprint.
The business operates more like a rental model than a traditional salon. Independent beauty and wellness professionals lease their own private suites, with current tenants under one- to three-year agreements. The owner focuses on maintaining occupancy and attracting new professionals rather than providing beauty services.
Opened in 2023, the studio is well maintained and includes approximately $250,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment. An experienced operations manager handles much of the onsite activity while the current owner works part-time.
For a sales-minded owner, the remaining 10 suites create a clear growth opportunity through stronger recruiting and lead follow-up. The affluent surrounding market offers strong retail, nearby employers, easy freeway access, and significant new development expected to bring additional housing, retail, and activity.
Please inquire through this platform only. Expect a pre-qualification and NDA from Franchise Flippers by email before receiving further information.
Growth opportunities
This franchise location has a clear opportunity to grow by increasing occupancy within its existing footprint. With 20 of 30 suites currently rented, a new owner can focus on filling the 10 available suites through more consistent recruiting, lead follow-up, and local marketing. The surrounding Bishop Ranch area is also seeing significant new development, including planned housing, retail, and hospitality, which may bring additional activity to the area over time.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
The owner currently spends approximately five to 10 hours per week on the business.
Asset Description
The sale price includes all of the assets required for running the business, including including 31 cabinets with hand sinks, 16 shampoo shuttles, 15 styling chairs, 22 LED mirrors, 17 trolleys, 19 mini-fridges, washers and dryers, furnishings, interior artwork and signage, exterior signage, cleaning supplies, and other equipment and supplies used in daily operations. These physical assets are estimated to have a value of approximately $250,000.

Why I Love My Franchise
I love the concept and the positive image of IMAGE (pun intended)! I love the beauty pros and helping them grow their businesses. I'm proud of my location and what I was able to accomplish on my own.
About Image Studios 360
IMAGE Studios 360 is a salon suite franchise that rents private, fully built studios to independent beauty, health and wellness professionals such as hair stylists, barbers, estheticians, nail artists and lash technicians. Founded in 2010 and franchising since 2015, the brand runs a real-estate-style model: the franchise owner builds and leases individual studios within a larger facility, then earns recurring rental income from the professionals who operate their own businesses inside them.
Each location houses a range of private studios finished to a consistent upscale aesthetic, and the tenant base is deliberately mixed: roughly 60% hair stylists and barbers, with the balance made up of skincare, makeup, nail and other specialists. This diversity supports stronger occupancy and lower tenant turnover than a single-discipline site.
The network has grown to more than 130 locations across the United States, with no closures reported to date. Owners typically operate on a semi-absentee basis, focusing on filling and retaining suites rather than delivering services themselves, while corporate provides the design, systems and recruiting tools that keep studios occupied.
Franchisee Support
New owners receive initial training across operations, marketing and tenant recruitment, delivered as a six-week virtual onboarding, followed by ongoing business coaching and an expert-led education programme. Owners stay connected through weekly round tables, monthly training meetings and the annual IMAGE Retreat, while corporate marketing and operations teams supply recruitment strategies and assets to keep studios filled; tenant professionals also receive business and website tools that aid retention. Resale buyers should confirm with IMAGE Studios what onboarding and system access transfer to incoming owners at handover.
Brand Accolades & Awards
IMAGE Studios 360 has climbed Entrepreneur's Franchise 500, ranking No. 265 in 2026 after rising 79 places from No. 344 in 2025, and has also been recognised by Entrepreneur among fast-growing and emerging brands. It made its debut on the Franchise Times Top 400 in 2025 and earned a place on Franchise Business Review's Top 200 Franchises for 2026, with FBR noting its innovation and franchisee satisfaction in the salon suite category. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific location's occupancy, tenant reviews and local reputation.
Industry / Market
IMAGE Studios 360 sits within the US beauty and personal-care services market, where salon suites are one of the fastest-growing segments, expanding an estimated 7-10% a year as more stylists, estheticians and other professionals choose to work independently. Demand is driven by the rise of self-employment in beauty, steady consumer spending on hair, skin and nail services, and the category's resilience through economic cycles, since personal care is treated as essential. For resale buyers, that backdrop supports tenant demand, though local occupancy ultimately depends on the supply of beauty professionals in the specific market.
Ideal Owner
The model suits investor-operators rather than hands-on beauty professionals. Because revenue depends on keeping studios leased, the strongest owners are comfortable with property-style management: marketing the location, recruiting and retaining independent tenants, and maintaining a premium environment and tenant community. It works well for semi-absentee owners and those building a real-estate or multi-unit portfolio who prefer recurring rental income to daily service delivery. No beauty-industry background is required, but relationship-building, local marketing instincts and an eye for customer experience help sustain high occupancy.
