Frequently-Asked Questions
How long is a session?
Sessions typically last about an hour. Occasionally, they may run slightly over, but I aim to stay within the time frame.
How
should I dress?
Dress
comfortably. I recommend a light layer, like a t-shirt, as the analyst cape
will add an extra layer. If you get cold easily, bring a separate jacket.
Please avoid wearing hoods, as they are difficult to manage with the cape.
Additional
notes:
·
No fragrance or perfume
·
No colored contact lenses
·
Remove makeup ahead of time
·
No fake tanning products (regular sun exposure is
fine)
Can
I come wearing makeup?
Please
arrive without makeup. If necessary, we can remove it at the appointment, but
it's best to come makeup-free so your skin can settle for accurate results.
Also, avoid fake tanning products and tanning (or sunburns) within 48 hours of
your appointment.
What
if I color my hair? What if it's gray?
For
colored or highlighted hair, we use a cap to cover the color during the
analysis—don’t worry, we’ll remove it afterward! Gray hair is perfectly fine;
come as you are!
Can
I bring children with me?
This
session is all about YOU. Enjoy your "me" time and let’s focus
entirely on you. Please arrange alternative care for small children during our
time together. Thank you!
Will
I need to be analyzed later in life?
No,
this system lasts for life! While hair and skin may change over time (like hair
graying), your color palette/season remains the same.
What
if I don't like my season / colors?
Every
season is BEAUTIFUL! Come with an open heart and mind. The goal is to discover YOUR
BEST COLORS, those that naturally harmonize with YOU. You might need to
reevaluate prior conceptions about yourself and color, but once you see
yourself in Your Best Colors, you’ll love them!
Will
my season change with a tan?
No.
Your season is determined by your skin's undertones, which do not change with a
tan.
Do
you offer consultations for men and/or children?
Yes!
Youth Analysis (Ages 7-12) is available upon request, with the option to
purchase a color fabric swatch book.
What is a color swatch book and how do I use it?
A color swatch book is a tool used
primarily in design and fashion to present a selection of colors and shades in
an organized manner. Your color swatch book contains fabric swatches of your
season’s best colors. Bring it while shopping to quickly identify flattering
colors and save time and money.
For patterned or multi-colored
clothing: If the pattern includes at least 75% of your card’s colors, go
for it!
Note: You can purchase the Color
Swatch Book at a discount when scheduling your appointment, or at the regular
price anytime after discovering your color palette.
