Merle Norman Cosmetics
We provide high-quality skin care, color cosmetics, and related beauty products through independently owned Merle Norman Studios. Our Studios are retail locations where customers can shop the full line of Merle Norman products and receive free individualized instruction and makeover lessons on how to use them. We focus on helping customers choose and apply cosmetics and skin care products in a clean, professional, studio-style setting with trained staff. In some locations, we also offer approved complementary products or services that fit our brand image. We also sell products through our online shopping portal and support local Studio sales through that system.
