Jason Olsen | IMAGE Studios Franchise

Meet Jason Olsen, Founder & CEO at IMAGE Studios Franchise. / jasontylerolsen What is IMAGE Studios Franchise? IMAGE Studios is a highly scalable model rooted in simplicity. It operates as an exclusive salon suite that provides modern, high-end salon studios at affordable rates to salon professionals. While it sits in the beauty industry, the business model is a real estate play that equips investors with a platform to support other entrepreneurs in going into business for themselves. With over 120 open locations, IMAGE Studios Franchise has had zero units closed over its 12-year history. The owner-operator model means most studios have zero employees. As they scale, IMAGE Studios franchisees may leverage contracted teams and hire a manager or operator, but even with multiple locations, it's a very labor-light model that does not require prior experience in the beauty industry. Jason Olsen is a serial entrepreneur who launched his first venture at age 16 in automotive e-commerce. He founded IMAGE Studios in 2009 and opened 5 locations over the next six years before he launched IMAGE Studios Franchise in 2016.
