History

Established in 1964.

After using Merle Norman for several years, Ellis decided to open her own studio in Downtown Mooresville. Always in the beauty business, Ellis opened her Merle Norman beside her beauty shop on Center Avenue in 1964. In a time when it was rare for female entrepeneurs, Merle Norman made it possible. Ellis actively worked in the studio until her retirement in 2008. She still gives ladies inspiration to live their dream, and look good doing so! Ellis drops in from time to time during events, representing Merle Norman at 88 years old! Her daughter-​in-​law Glenda, and granddaughter Monica own and opperate the business.
