Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio — Local services in Galesburg

Wow!! Talk about a phenomenal experience!!

We were in the area for racing in Viola and we're looking to kill some time.

My niece was with us and she had been talking about getting her double piercing in her ears and I thought that I would surprise her with doing it as a back to school thing.

I looked up ear piercing and discovered that the Merle Norman in Galesburg does piercings. We showed up there and I went in and asked if they would have time to do a double piercing.

When I walked in I was greeted by two very kind women and the one said yes of course. I went back out to my vehicle and brought my niece in. She had no idea that this was the plan for the day.

She came in and was talking to the lady and the lady explained the process to my niece and gave her the earrings to choose from.

My niece was so excited and found the perfect pair. The lady doing the piercing made sure she was completely happy about the markings on her ears and where the earrings would be before she proceeded on to actually doing the piercings.

She handed my niece a little stuffed bunny that had its ears pierced and then did the piercings. She handed my niece 2 ice packs immediately after finishing the piercings.

She checked us out, explained the cleaning process and we were on our way. I would 100% recommend going to this Merle Norman.

Sidenote: they have A LOT of cute items in their store. Purses, hats, sunglasses etc and all were very reasonably priced.

Then we get home and we look at our receipt and we got charged for some make up that they sent home with us that we will never even use in our life. If you seen the pictures of what we took in to get done on our eyes and what we came out with you would never go there either. It was absolutely horrible a complete waste of money and I don’t know how they...
