Welcome!

This studio is owned and operated by Tori McDaniel and her husband Brandon. Tori has been in love with Merle Norman since 2003. She worked at Merle Norman through high school and college. She completed her Esthetics degree at La James College in Davenport, IA where she was dually licensed in Illinois and Iowa.

While early adulthood took her on a different path (she spent 10 years as an Executive for a non-profit) she found herself back with Merle Norman once again!

On October 1st, 2021, she and Brandon took ownership of the Sterling Studio! She is beyond excited to be back to what she has always LOVED! Her passion is skincare and helping women achieve a confident, natural look.

Tori and Brandon have two girls, Ella and Cora who love to help around the studio. Don’t be surprised if our littlest Merle girls are helping when schools out :)

Our goal is to help you look and feel your very best. Our studio offers complimentary foundation checks, steam facials, special occasion makeup applications, fun events, gift certificates, and more!

We hope your time with us is enjoyable- we encourage you to stop in with a friend!

We are located in the heart of downtown Sterling right next door to UOI Boutique.
