    Who Makes an Ideal Merle Norman Studio Owner?

    Our franchisees have a passion for business, beauty and helping others

    The average Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio owner stays with their cosmetic franchise for more than 30 years. That commitment to Merle Norman and love of our legendary brand is remarkable. In an industry where the latest makeup techniques drive sales for the bigger cosmetics retailers, Merle Norman relies on its legacy of longevity. Our studio owners come from different walks of life — some with retail and cosmetics experience, some without — but all of them have one thing in common: a passion for helping others feel better about themselves through the beauty and artistry of our cosmetics.

    “It’s just fun to help people find things to make them feel more beautiful, to make them feel better and more confident about their skin and about their appearance,” says Kim Kelly, Studio Owner in Montrose, California. “It’s fun talking to people all the time. I think when we retire, that will be the hardest part. That you don’t have that connection every day with people. So for that reason we’ll be in it forever.”

    Kim Kelly co-owns a Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio in Montrose, California, with her sister, Kris Kline. Kim and Kris grew up in this business, taking over the store from their mother, who began working for Merle Norman in the late 50s.

    The pair have grown a rewarding business, both emotionally and financially. “It’s so rewarding to have a business where you are your own boss,” says Kim. “It is a great business to get into. For me, it’s been a confidence builder all my life.”

    Wanted: people lovers to join us at Merle Norman Cosmetics

    We want to partner with women who are energized by others — people who enjoy working with members of their communities and are passionate about customer service.

    “Some of our best studio owners have come from a second or third career,” says Travis Richards, Board of Directors and Executive. “We’ve found that studio owners who are focused on education and helping somebody else — for example, school teachers, or retired school teachers, nurses, flight attendants — we have found that they have become very good owners because they’re very organized, they really understand customer service, and they just want to help their communities.”
