Getting Started

Merle Norman is known for its rock-solid dedication to providing Studio Owners the most extensive support in retail cosmetics. Right from the start, you'll feel the difference.

Our training is second to none

All new Studio Owners attend a comprehensive, two week program at our Company headquarters in Los Angeles.

We don't stop there

A Regional Specialist at our Home Office is teamed with each Owner to serve as a direct liaison on day-to-day matters.

Location, Location, Location

We know that what counts most in real estate is "location, location, location," so we help you determine what to look for in a retail site. And because we also realize how important your lease can be to your bottom line, our Legal Department will assist you by reviewing the lease for your space.

On going support

Our dedication to assisting Studio Owners doesn't stop after you open your doors -- it's only just begun.

Marketing

Merle Norman knows that in the competitive world of retail cosmetics, consistent marketing and management support is key to your success. Our Marketing Department constantly generates new products and a dazzling array of seasonal colors each year.
