THE PROFESSIONALS AT MERLE NORMAN ABQ

BEVERLY BACA, OWNER
Certified Skin Consultant and Makeup Artist
With over 30 years of experience as a dedicated paralegal, I built my career on precision, trust, and helping others feel confident and supported. Alongside that career, I’ve had a lifelong passion for beauty and skincare—beginning at just 16 years old when I first discovered Merle Norman Cosmetics.
That early introduction turned into a lasting love for the brand’s commitment to quality, results, and personal care. Today, as the owner of a Merle Norman Cosmetics & Spa, I’m proud to combine my professional background with my passion for helping others look and feel their best.
My goal is simple: to provide a welcoming, personalized experience where every client feels valued, confident, and cared for—whether they’re exploring skincare, cosmetics, or spa services. I believe beauty is not just about appearance, but about confidence, self-care, and feeling your very best every day.
