IMAGE STUDIOS 360 ® : Disrupting the Salon Industry in the Philadelphia Region Opening locations throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey, Image Studios 360 ® is poised to be the leader in luxury studio salons in the area. Offering a new way for salon professionals to work for themselves and earn more money. Recent law changes in Pennsylvania, and some rule changes in New Jersey, the doors have finally opened to allow studio salons to come into the Philadelphia region. Image Studios 360 ® (Image) is one of multiple national franchises opening in the area, but they stand out from the pack. For the first time independent salon professionals are offered affordable salon ownership and all the perks that come with that: the freedom to make their own rules, charge their own prices, carry the product line(s) of their choice, work their own hours, and most importantly, keep 100% of the money charged for services, and 100% of the margin on retail sales. Image goes further than that. As the industry leader, Image Studios 360 ® provides continuing education, advertising and marketing support, beautiful high end design, all-inclusive pricing, business mentorship, and access to startup funding, to name a few of the perks in the Philadelphia region. TH E D ESI G N There is no question the salons are beautiful. With contemporary design touches like high ceilings, polished concrete floors, spacious lobbies, curved glass, reclaimed wood and natural stone focal walls, wide hallways with seating, luxury lighting and more, every location is unique and stunning. “(to come) We saw a need for something high end in the business…So we designed a luxury version…” says founder and President Jason Olsen. “Image is the Four Seasons of the studio salon world.” –Robert Keyes, President, Philadelphia Region When franchise owner and President of the Philadelphia region, Robert J. Keyes was looking to build in the Philadelphia region, he wanted to find the best in the business. “I knew I was going to build a lot of locations, and had the opportunity to build whichever franchise I wanted,” says Keyes, “So I decided to look for the one that would set us apart. Image Studios 360 ® is that in spades. Image is the Four Seasons of the studio salon world.” As for inside the individual studios, they come fitted with cabinetry, styling chair, shampoo station and mirror.
