Simply stated, personal color analysis is the process of analyzing someone’s natural coloring to identify a range of harmonious colors. Once identified, a particular color tone can then be used to streamline decision-making regarding wardrobe, makeup, jewelry, nail color, and more!
Does your coloring need warm hues? Cool hues? Cool-neutral? Warm-neutral? Do you need striking and strong colors? Soft and gentle colors? Light value? Or, Dark?
These are all things we will discover during your color analysis!

Personal Color Analysis (PCA) helps you understand which colors complement your natural features. Wearing colors that harmonize with your skin/hair/eyes, can enhance your overall appearance and increase confidence.
PCA also provides you with a personalized color palette that serves as a guide for selecting clothing, makeup, and accessories. This saves you time and money by ensuring that every item you choose aligns with your color profile, creating a cohesive and radiant look.
Beyond aesthetics, a color analysis can open up new possibilities for experimentation and self-expression! It allows you to explore a broader range of colors that you may have overlooked before.
Whether you're a business professional, leader, teacher, entrepreneur, speaker, blogger, influencer, stay-at-home mom, actor, realtor, or student, a color analysis empowers you to make informed choices about your style, boosts your self-confidence, and helps you put your best foot forward in any situation. It is a valuable investment in yourself that can have a lasting impact on how you look and feel.

90 - 120 minute consultation.
Feel free to wear something comfortable. Do not wear makeup, concealer or sunless/self-tanner. No Sunburns or heavy sun exposure at least 1 week before the appointment. This is necessary to ensure an accurate result. Please also avoid perfume, as it wears off on to the drapes. If you wear glasses, I will ask you to remove them periodically during the analysis, so clear contact lenses may be a better option.

Colored or highlighted hair will be covered with a neutral grey cap during the analysis to ensure an accurate result. It can be removed at the end if you would like a photo in one of the drapes in your season. We can also discuss natural hair colors that fall in your color tone.
Natural gray hair is no problem, it’s just that - natural. No need to cover your hair for the analysis.

If you were analyzed in a different method, it is very likely you will have a different result. If you were typed in the 4 Season Method (which only has options for warm or cool undertones), you will likely get a different, more specific result with the 12-Tone Method because it has options for neutral (warm-neutral or cool-neutral) undertones, which is 2/3 of the population. This method is more scientific, reliable and proven beyond the 4 Season approach. It's a great way to get the most accurate and specific result.
Similarly, if you were analyzed virtually or digitally, it is very likely you will have a different result. Digital images are unreliable; computer monitor calibration varies widely and does not present color accurately.

Video is not allowed during the color analysis and photos are by permission only. The drapes and the analysis process are the intellectual property of TCI and are protected from media use. You will have the opportunity at the end of the session to take a beautiful photo in one of your drapes and also a “before” photo. It’s amazing to see the comparison.
