A beauty classic with a local touch
Discover timeless care and colour at Merle Norman in east Regina
For generations of women, Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio has been a trusted name in beauty. Founded in 1931, the brand has built a reputation for quality cosmetics, thoughtful skin care and professional services that stand the test of time. In east Regina, that legacy continues with local owner Michelle Grandel at the helm.
Michelle has worked at the studio for over 15 years and officially took over ownership a year ago. Her connection to the business runs deep, backed by three decades in the beauty industry.
“This place has always felt like home,” Michelle says. “Taking it over was a natural next step.”
Built to last for a reason
Merle Norman has remained a pillar in the beauty world for more than 90 years, and Michelle says that longevity is no accident. The products are high quality, priced fairly and supported by knowledgeable professionals who take time with every client.
“There’s a reason women keep coming back,” Michelle says. “The products work and the experience matters.”
From foundation and colour matching to skin care routines that evolve with you, the studio focuses on helping clients find what truly suits them. The goal is never a quick sale. It is about confidence and feeling good in your own skin.
Full-service beauty in one local studio
The east Regina location offers a complete range of esthetic services in a warm, welcoming space. Clients can book:
• Manicures and pedicures
• Gel nail enhancements
• Facials tailored to skin type and concerns
• Professional makeup application for everyday wear or special events
• Full body waxing services
Whether someone is preparing for a wedding, a graduation or simply a seasonal refresh, the studio provides personalized care every step of the way.
“We really get to know our clients,” Michelle says. “That’s what makes the results better.”
Experience you can trust
With 30 years in the beauty business, Michelle brings both expertise and approachability to her work. She believes beauty should feel accessible, not intimidating.
“Everyone deserves to feel their best,” Michelle says. “Sometimes it just takes the right colour or the right skin care routine.”
That philosophy fits perfectly with Merle Norman’s long-standing commitment to serving women through every stage of life. From teens discovering makeup for the first time to clients refining their look over decades, the studio meets people where they are.
A spring refresh worth booking
The studio is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30 to 6, with extended hours until 8 on Thursdays. Appointments are recommended and can be booked by phone.
Spring is a popular time to update skin care, try a new colour or enjoy a little self-care after a long winter. Michelle encourages locals to make the time.
“Putting your best look forward can really lift your mood,” Michelle says. “You deserve that.”
