Calling all high-rolling beauty pros! Our Las Vegas salon suites are ready and waiting for your unique brand of entrepreneurial excellence!
If you’re a hairstylist, barber, esthetician, MedSpa pro, Advanced Practice nurse, nail tech, microblading artist, lash tech or makeup artist looking to take a chance on success in the City of Second Chances — this is your moment!
IMAGE Studios Salon Suites are located just 20 minutes off the Strip, putting you in the perfect position to take advantage of all the energy and excitement of this vibrant city while embracing the benefits of being your own boss.
IMAGE Studios is an entrepreneurial collective like none other. Our story began in 2009 when Jason Olsen disrupted the traditional beauty industry with his vision of a better business model. He saw that empowering budding entrepreneurs to unleash their creativity and explore professional freedom with solid business support created a community of mini-salon owners working together for mutual success. Since launching our first IMAGE Studios in Utah, we’ve helped countless beauty professionals take control of their futures and achieve their dream of owning their very own salons in locations across the country.
Inside each IMAGE salon, like-minded pros connect with each other for industry insight, share clients with complementary needs and grow their business acumen while maintaining total control over their own fees, hours and service offerings. With such a diverse group of beauty professionals at each location — from balayage experts to permanent makeup artists to skilled barbers — you and your clients can both benefit. You can learn from your colleagues and offer a wider range of services to your regulars, and customers can save time and hassle by scheduling multiple services in one trip. It’s a true win-win that’s rare in Vegas!
IMAGE Studios has your golden ticket to starting a salon with new business support that isn’t easy to find on your own. First off, you can start servicing your clients on day one because your IMAGE Las Vegas salon comes fully equipped with a shampoo bowl, mirror, styling chair, cabinetry and specialty lighting. It’s the proverbial clean slate on which you can create your ideal workspace. Go ahead and fill it with vibrant artwork, sumptuous furnishings, lush greenery or wacky wallpaper. We reward the most impressive decorative efforts with our annual Studio Design awards — so whatever type of atmosphere helps you crush your daily motivation goals is fair game.
Like all IMAGE Studios, our Las Vegas salon suites are housed in a gorgeous facility featuring stunning European design with contemporary curved glass walls, open ceilings and luxurious fixtures. You won’t have to take time away from clients to clean the onsite restrooms or worry about keeping the building secure because a facility manager takes those chores off your plate.

And we don’t stop with physical support! Our IMAGE Pro Success program delivers valuable educational workshops directly to your laptop to help you hone boss skills like financial management, marketing brilliance and social media wizardry.

IMAGE Las Vegas salon suites could be your golden ticket to #success in your beauty career and your personal life.
Let’s be real: We all know the obvious reputation of this so-called “Sin City.” It’s a neon-lit haven of gamblers, showgirls and high-spirited tourists focused on maxing out every one of their appetites. Right?
Definitely. But there’s tons more to Vegas than the casinos and entertainment venues on the Strip — which just happens to be a mere 20 minutes from the IMAGE Studios on South Rainbow Boulevard.
This thriving metropolis of nearly 650,000 permanent residents first arose from the sands of the Mojave Desert in 1905 as a railroad town. Gambling was a fave local pastime even then, and post-World War II prosperity grew that inclination into a hotspot for casinos and high-profile entertainers, like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Over the next 60 years or so, mega-casinos like Circus Circus and Caesars Palace transformed the city into the global attraction we now lovingly call “America’s playground.”
How can an adult-oriented vacation destination like this also support your dreams of putting down roots while building clientele and creating brand identity as a beauty professional?
Here are 5 reasons why renting salon space at IMAGE Studios Las Vegas is a solid bet for your #beautysuccess:
Nevada is one of nine states that levy no income tax from their residents. That can make a huge difference in your day-to-day budgeting, as well as achieving your long-term financial goals. You’ll still have to budget for comparatively high sales taxes and “sin” taxes on indulgences like alcohol and Keno cards, but your annual tax prep will be a bit simpler without having to fill out those pesky state forms.
Sick of bulky coats, icy roads and bone-chilling winter temps? Las Vegas welcomes you to the warm embrace of dry desert heat! Winters in this region are short and mild, rarely approaching the freezing mark. Summers, on the other hand, get downright sweltering with relentless sunshine and peak temps climbing above 100°F. Autumn can bring a spate of thunderstorms — but spring is often the sweet spot for mild weather and spectacular wildflower displays in nearby Red Rock Canyon.
Speaking of Red Rock Canyon, this nonprofit National Conservation Area is one of the most well-known natural gems of the Greater Las Vegas area. The 13-mile one-way Scenic Drive offers both bikers and car drivers stunning views of unique rock formations and exotic wildlife, like prickly pear cacti, mule deer and tortoises. You can also hike trails — the moderately difficult Calico Hills Trail is particularly popular — camp under the stars, climb rocks and take in an educational program at the Visitors Center.
Just west of Red Rock Canyon off SR 157 (aka Kyle Canyon Road) lies Cathedral Rock Trail. This beginner-friendly network of well-marked footpaths covers 2.7 miles of eye-catching desert scenery. Hardier hikers should check out the 3.5-mile loop to Mary Jane Falls that climbs nearly 1,000 feet, then rewards the intrepid with spectacular views.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area, about a half hour’s drive east of the city, offers numerous biking, hiking and water-based adventures. Black Canyon Water Trail takes paddlers from the bottom of the Hoover Dam through 12 tranquil miles of dramatic desert landscape and narrow canyon slots along the Colorado River. From the weird man-made relics at Nelson’s Ghost Town to the thrill of zip-lining over Bootleg Canyon to the soothing hot springs of Gold Strike Canyon, you’ll have tons of opportunities to escape the crowded Las Vegas streets and find outdoor adventure!
One of the biggest advantages of starting a salon business in an urban area like Las Vegas is the steady foot traffic that helps grow your client list. Millions of tourists visit the city every year — and while most of those potential clients will be one-timers, they still represent an amazing opportunity for growing your skills and your brand visibility. Just think of the bridal parties, conventioneers and other groups seeking out your high-end beauty services to make sure they look and feel their best while soaking up the Entertainment Capital of the World — not to mention the hundreds of thousands of permanent residents who need a reliable beauty pro like yourself to keep them up to date on the trends and maintain their everyday look.
Not a fan of casinos or star-studded stage shows? Broaden your mind and flex your cultural muscles at these off-the-beaten-path Las Vegas attractions:
The Neon Museum – Also known as the Neon Boneyard, this is where some of Sin City’s most iconic signage has permanently retired. Tour more that 200 pieces of classic neon artwork that once graced iconic Vegas institutions, like the Golden Nugget and Moulin Rouge Hotel. Go at night for the maximum impact of clever lighting.
Seven Magic Mountains – Just 20 miles from your salon on the Strip, seven brightly painted rock columns rise from the desert like a psychedelic Stonehenge. Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone created the sculptures in 2016 using local boulders and vivid paint to express the exuberance of human presence in this desolate landscape. It’s free to visit 24/7.
The Carroll Shelby Museum – Any gearhead worth their axle grease knows the name Shelby. This American auto pioneer won the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance car race more than any other human: in 1959 as a driver with Aston Martin, in 1964 as a manufacturer with the Cobra Daytona Coupe and as a team manager in 1966 and 1967 with the Ford GT program. His innovations in both mechanics and aerodynamic design transformed the racing car industry, and this 15,000-square-foot museum puts visitors within arm’s reach of over 30 of his finest creations.
The National Atomic Testing Museum – The 1950s were an explosive time for Nevada. Not only did the city’s casinos enter their golden age, but more than 900 atomic tests blasted through the desert. Visit this Smithsonian Institute affiliate to get a sense of both the science behind atomic weaponry and the pop culture that proliferated around these Cold War endeavors.
Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum – Love monster movies, creature features and horror flicks? So does the curator of this weird museum — who is also a special makeup effects artist. He’s brought together a jaw-dropping collection of screen props, creature suits and movie memorabilia to thrill visitors while filling them in on behind-the-scenes secrets of the trade. Die-hard fanatics can opt for the R.I.P. Experience that includes hotel pickup and drop-off in a custom hearse and a private tour guided by Devlin himself.
