Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio in Flint, MI

This salon is an absolutely beautiful retreat. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely caring. And the products are amazing,one of the best decorated salons I have been to. Most places like ultra are just too corporate but I love how this business has been family owned!

I used to work for this Merle Norman from 1998-2002. I started when they were at Courtland Center. I have since moved away out-of-state and then out of the country since 2004, but every time I come to Michigan to visit family, I always visit this Merle Norman. From Courtland Center they moved to Genesee Valley Mall. Most recently, they moved across the street next to Hobby Lobby. This is by far my favorite location. The inside decor is stunning. And the people that work there (many still from when I was there!!) still have the most warm and welcoming vibe. I was in Michigan only for a week this time and I spent 3 days there! My mom got her nails done with Desiree, my sister got her hair cut with Desiree. I have alopecia and I wear a wig and Desiree cut it for me so it looked fresh again. For the first time, I got my eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed (I don't have eyebrows or lashes). Sherry and Holly are a mom and daughter duo and they did such an incredible job. They listened to all my requests/concerns and did a great job making me feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy. I will definitely be touching up the tattoo in 6 weeks. They use the most current tattooing technology - microblading. It looks like I have hair in my eyebrows from the tattoo strokes. After the microblading, they go back in and do shading, which makes them look fuller. I love my eyebrows and eyeliner. They are great with shaping and color matching. They use a vegetable dye that is free from metals so the tattoo won't turn purple or red over time. In addition to hair and permanent tattooing services, this Merle Norman offers eyebrow shaping, facials, makeup application, and eyelash extensions. Plus, you can stock up on makeup and skin care while you are there. Definitely a one-stop-beauty-shop and a true gem in Flint.

Hands down the best place for any kind of beautifying! All of their products and services are high quality! The staff is very professional and the most friendly around! If you are looking for some where or someone to make you feel a little extra pretty, look no further than the girls at Merle Norman. They will always treat you 110%!

Love their facials. I just got one and my skin is glowing. The price is not cheap, but I had a gift certificate. I will save up to splurge here on my own makeup and facials again. I like their product line a lot and the girls were helpful and let me sample everything they have. I don't have much to say about the hair styling they do except that the lady that was getting a blowout looked beautiful when she left, so that is my barometer. The makeup artists are very good at what they do, which is beauty.

I absolutely love this Salon! All the girls, especially Kathrine the Owner, are so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! I always get great service and feel like I am "at home" when I go there! I would highly recommend this Salon to anyone!
