"As an owner, getting to share my love of beauty is a fairy tale come true and it's financially rewarding!"
- Jolene Vanover, Studio Owner in Alice, TX since 2004.
The Depression Era didn't stop an enterprising young Merle Norman from creating her own beauty products and selling them with the "try before you buy" philosophy she pioneered. Before long she was empowering women to be independent business owners as they sold her line in their privately owned Studios. This tradition carries on today with the Merle Norman Cosmetics franchise system.
Merle Norman Cosmetics manufactures products that are tested and proven to perform. From the traditional to the trendy - there's something to meet every woman's beauty needs.
