At Merle Norman Cosmetics, we can honestly call ourselves a true American success story.
Our founder, Merle Nethercutt Norman, could hardly have imagined the empire that she began building back in 1931 in Santa Monica, California.
IT BEGAN WITH A DREAM; AN IDEA; AND A DESIRE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Merle Norman, through her entrepreneurial spirit, passion, and creativity, rose from humble beginnings to become an inspiration and trailblazer for other women.
Merle Norman was a unique, fun-loving, and caring woman who as a beauty pioneer, influenced women and fundamentally changed how they approached their personal sense of beauty and defined their own version of success.
