What to expect.

Your in-studio session, from first drape to final look.

  1. Your vision, and color theory 101

    We begin with your style goals and how you'd like color to work in your life. Then comes color theory 101: the science that makes color analysis possible, and why the right shades bring your features to life.

  2. Reading your natural coloring

    With professional drapes, we study your undertone, value and chroma, the qualities that guide which colors flatter you most.

  3. Finding your primary season

    We drape through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter to find the season most in harmony with your coloring.

  4. Pinpointing your sub-season

    From several distinct sub-seasons, we narrow to the specific palette that best complements your features.

  5. Your color superpowers

    Your statement colors, your essential neutrals, and the shades you can borrow from other seasons, plus graceful ways to keep wearing a beloved color outside your palette.

  6. Completing your signature look

    Your best jewelry metals, makeup shades, and hair and nail colors. We review the makeup you bring and talk through the most flattering hair color options for your season.

  7. Support after your session

    Three outfit checks by email. Send a photo of something in your closet, or a link to a piece you're considering, and receive personal advice on whether it belongs in your palette.

Good to know.

Where is the studio?

Our private studio is in St. Louis Park, MN, minutes from Minneapolis. The exact address is shared once your appointment is confirmed.

How long is an in-person color analysis?

A Signature Session lasts 1.5 – 2 hours. In a Shared Session, each guest has about 40 minutes.

Do I need to prepare anything?

You'll receive a detailed email with everything you need to know once your deposit is received.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes. Book a Shared Session for 2 – 3 people, or a color party for 4 – 6.

Is in-person more accurate than virtual?

Both use the same professional approach. In person, you see the drapes against your skin in real time; virtual analysis relies on carefully taken photos. Many clients choose virtual for convenience and a quicker start.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 3 times. The $200 deposit is non-refundable and is applied to your session total. See our policies.
