Portrait of Nicole, founder of The Stylery Colour Studio

Meet Nicole.

I founded The Stylery Colour Studio on a simple belief: when you wear what was made for you, you look, and feel, entirely like yourself.

With a background in fashion merchandising and retail, I am certified in 12- and 16-season color analysis, personal styling and image consulting. As a Minneapolis color analyst and Kibbe stylist, I welcome private clients to our St. Louis Park studio and online, and bring color analysis to teams, celebrations and boutiques across the Twin Cities.

Every analysis is done by hand, under true-color light with real fabric drapes, or checked against every photo you send. That devotion to detail is the heart of the studio.

Why I do this

The right color changes more than a face. It changes how you show up, and lets your whole self shine through.

    The girl who knew

    I was born loving color.

    Turquoise and hot pink on the first day of school. Painting my walls green and my dresser orange. No one taught me the rules. I just knew.

    Friends & family

    It started with the people I love.

    I held up colors and reworked closets for friends and family, and watched their lives change. They showed up with more energy and said yes to more.

    My own proof

    I'm a Soft Summer, too.

    I traded harsh black and stark white for soft navy, dusty rose and periwinkle, my favorite color all along. Most of us just need permission.

    "Wow. I didn't think I'd be able to see it, but I can." I hear it in every session, and it still gives me chills.

What it's really about

Confidence changes everything.

So many women tell me they look tired in every photo. There was nothing wrong with them. They were wearing someone else's colors.

Every client is analyzed by hand by a certified color analyst. No AI, no guessing. You'll leave knowing exactly who you are in color.

Our philosophy.

Beauty, from within.

We believe beauty begins on the inside. The right colors and silhouettes don't change who you are; they simply let more of you come through. When what you wear works with your natural features, people notice you before they notice your clothes.

Science, not guesswork.

Seasonal color analysis is grounded in color theory: undertone, value, contrast and chroma. We assess each one with professional drapes and a trained eye, rather than relying on filters, quizzes or AI.

Small changes, real difference.

A shift in shade or neckline can feel surprisingly significant. Many clients tell us they feel calmer, more confident and more like themselves when they dress in harmony with their natural coloring.

Our promise. Color and style analysis is a professional opinion, offered with care. We can't promise perfection, because color perception is personal and varies with light and preference. What we do promise is honesty, attention and our full expertise in every session.

The Stylery difference.

Draped by hand.

Professional fabric drapes, calibrated light and a large mirror, so you witness every change yourself. Never automated. Never AI.

Dual certification.

Trained in both the 12- and 16-season systems, for a nuanced, thoughtful approach to every analysis.

Experienced with teams.

We have hosted color events for organizations including Lululemon, Mortenson and Dorsey & Whitney.
