Background

Start Your Own Beauty Business with a Merle Norman Cosmetics Franchise

A Proven Success Story

Merle Norman Cosmetics has been a leader in the beauty industry for over 80 years. Founded during the Great Depression, Merle Norman pioneered the "try before you buy" concept, which helped her business thrive even when other companies were struggling. She then empowered women to become entrepreneurs by starting their own Merle Norman studios. In 1973, the company began franchising, and today there are hundreds of Merle Norman Cosmetics locations across the United States and Canada.
