Merle Norman is a cosmetic studio that offers free consultations, color and foundation matching services and a free skin care assessment utilizing its own product line. Customers can try different products before purchase to ensure that they won't have another skin care product collecting dust in the bathroom cabinet. Merle Norman offers new customers a free hydrating facial and exfoliation, but walk-ins are also welcome. The aestheticians will also teach clients how to apply bridal makeup for the big day. While Merle Norman still offers its classic line of products, the new product lines which dominate the shelves use the latest technology in skin care. Some other products in the store include handbag hooks that attach to a table to keep your purse off the floor, unique cosmetic bags, and OPI brand nail polishes and nail care products. This family owned and operated store has been in Brandon since 1987, is pet-friendly and staffed by knowledgeable professionals.
