What to expect
When you book an in-home color analysis with me, I will come to your home (NYC boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens only) with a mirror, lighting, and drapes. You will provide access to an outlet, table or flat surface for drapes, chair to sit in, and a spot to set up facing a window. If you do not have a window that receives some daylight, please let me know as this may not be the best service for you.
I do not currently offer services after sunset. Natural daylight is best for color analysis and assures more accuracy.
In 90 minutes, you will receive a full color analysis to determine your undertone, home season, and potential flow season. We review your key colors together, and colors you may wish to avoid.
If time allows, I am happy to review your makeup (blush, eye makeup, lipstick) and clothing items to advise on color. I will follow up with a complimentary digital color palette reference and a link to purchase a handheld swatch wallet. (Optional)
How to prepare
At the start of our session, I will ask that you provide me with some photo references (digital ok!):
Color photo of yourself from childhood
Color a photo of yourself around the age of 20 with natural hair color (If you are unable to provide this photo, I ask that you be ready to describe your natural hair color around the age of 20.)
Come to our session makeup-free, and please remove jewelry near your face such as necklaces, facial piercings, or earrings.
Please do not have self-tanner or spray tan on your face. Self- tanner can skew results (natural tan is ok!)
Please alert me if you have any permanent makeup, such as microbladed brows or lip color.
If your hair is colored, you will be asked to cover your hair for during our session with a white scarf that I will provide.
Accessibility
It is my wish to provide you with a safe and welcoming experience! If you require any accommodations due to a disability or accessibility requirements, please let me know .

I use the 16 season flow system from the International Image Institute, where I received training. I highly recommend researching different color analysis systems to see which is right for you before booking, but many people find that the 16 season offers the most specificity.
-
There is no official certification for color analysis in the US, despite claims you may see from other color analysts. There is no examination or board that certifies analysts. If this kind of certification existed, I would test for it.
However, I am trained. I received in-person training and a Mastery certificate from Karen Brunger, owner of the world-renowned International Image Institute, and the creator of the system that I use. -
I do not currently offer virtual analysis, but I may in the future, so please check back and follow me on social for announcements.
I will say that I find in-person draping to be more accurate and more informative for clients. I have seen clients get multiple analysis results with virtual, but with in person, we find your colors at the same time- and most importantly- YOU see the differences between colors.I could tell you that you’re a spring, what what does that really mean if you haven’t seen how the colors interact with your features?
-
You may have 1-2 other people in attendance to observe (observe only, no analysis) if you wish. I also offer group packages for 2 or 3 people. Please check my booking page for info!
-
Yes! Please email me to inquire about event offerings in home, corporate, or retail settings.
-
Possibly, based on the system your previous analyst used and their level of training. I highly recommend seeking out a color analyst who has received in-person training as I have.
-
Your home season will never change. However, as you age, your flow season may change. You may choose to seek out another analysis as you age, but for the most part, once you know your colors- you’re set for a lifetime.
-
I am a new color analyst. I am currently offering introductory rates. I believe in offering rates that are congruent with my level of experience. My rates may change as I gain more experience. (Book now!)
-
I ask that clients keep an open mind in our sessions. Not every color you are shown will be your favorite or even in your palette. Color analysis is a process of comparison- we aim to find what looks best! However, most palettes contain different shades of MOST colors.
-
Absolutely! Please let me know if you are open to being photographed for social media and for my records, but it’s absolutely ok if you don’t want to be!
-
You totally can! Color analysis helps you discover what colors harmonize best with your natural appearance and features. You may choose to wear colors that aren’t in your palette to produce a desired effect or style and that’s absolutely ok- but when you want to look your best, color analysis is a great tool to have in your style arsenal.
-
YES! Book me, this service is for everyone.
-
I do not recommend analysis for people before puberty, and it is best after the age of 20. I ask that no person under the age of 18 see me without being accompanied by an adult or guardian.
