    The recession-resistant beauty industry was booming at $532 billion before the pandemic and demand is expected to continue to rise as in-person activities for school, work, church, entertainment and more resume. Our brand attracts loyal, lifetime customers during uncertain economic times and our high-quality products at an affordable price point also lend themselves to daily self-care, rather than indulgent practice.

    Merle Norman, beauty supply franchise, continues to innovate in the popular self-care space

    While Merle Norman proudly acknowledges our legacy brand status, we are also very forward thinking, with an R&D team continually setting the bar on ingenuity and quality. Today’s consumer focuses as much on skincare products as they do cosmetics, if not more, and at Merle Norman our comprehensive skincare products offer the latest technology, and are often pioneering in their space Take, for example, our Skintelligent line, launched in 2018 as the industry’s first comprehensive skincare system featuring probiotic technology.

    In addition to our award-winning, prestige products at an affordable price point, Merle Norman is known for a highly personalized customer service experience not found in your typical big box retail store.

    “Customers can come into our stores and we’re nothing but Merle Norman. We’re all one brand and we’re more personalized. They go to Sephora and Ulta, and it’s just a ‘Wal-mart’ of this, that, and the other. There are too many name brands and it’s confusing,” says Barbara Norris, multi-unit studio owner, Scottsdale, Arizona. “And at a drugstore, they don’t get to try before they buy. They buy it. Well, I have had numerous customers come in and say, ‘Oh my goodness. I got this foundation at the drugstore. I paid this for it and it’s horrible. Oh, I just love yours.’ And even though they know ours may cost a little more, it works. They’re actually saving money and getting a better brand.”

    For entrepreneurs with a passion for the best in self-care products on the market and the drive to be that go-to expert for beauty and skincare in their community, Merle Norman is a rewarding and potentially profitable business. Our studio owners enjoy being a part of a longstanding, respected brand that has continued to thrive over the decades during uncertain times, which is a true testament to our resilient business model and reputable products.
