Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes - clients often come to me believing they know their season, often based on online quizzes, AI tools or a previous analysis.

    In-person analysis allows your colouring to be assessed accurately, using professional tools.

    Even if your season is correct, it can be refined - identifying your best colours, best neutrals and how your palette works in practice.

  • Wearing colours that truly suit you can have a noticeable effect on how you look and feel.

    You can find more detail on the benefits of colour analysis page.

  • Currently, all consultations are conducted in person to ensure the highest level of accuracy.
    Colour analysis relies on observing how fabric reflects onto the skin in real time - something that cannot be reliably assessed through photos or screens.

    Virtual services may be introduced in the future, but the in-person experience remains the most precise and transformative.

  • Yes - colour analysis is suitable for everyone.

    For men, the focus is typically on clothing, tailoring, casualwear and how to build a cohesive wardrobe using the right tones. The process is the same, just tailored to individual style and preferences.

  • Yes - colour analysis is suitable at any age, and all ages are very welcome.

    Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

  • Colour analysis is not limited by skin tone or ethnicity.

    The process is not about how light or deep your skin is, but about the balance of warmth, coolness, brightness, and softness in your colouring.

  • Yes - I trained with the Style and Colour Academy and certified in colour analysis.

  • No, this does not matter - you can absolutely get a colour analysis done.

    Colour analysis focuses on your undertone, rather than overtone, meaning skin condition or pigmentation do not change your fundamental seasonal palette.

  • Your season does not typically change, as it is based on your undertone and overall colouring.

    However, changes such as ageing or greying hair can soften contrast. In some cases, this may influence your best colours within the palette or shift you slightly into a neighbouring subseason.

  • Hair dye and tanning do not change your underlying undertone, but they can affect how colours appear and how easily your season can be identified.

    Hair colour can alter your overall contrast, and false tan often adds warmth to the skin. If you hair is significantly different from your natural colour, it can be covered during the consultation to allow for a more accurate analysis.

    For the most accurate result, it’s best to attend with your natural skin. If you regularly fake tan and plan to continue, you’re welcome to attend as you are.

  • Please wear whatever you are comfortable in - just avoid high neck tops.

    If possible, please arrive wearing little or no makeup (makeup remover is provided if needed)

    You do not need to bring anything with you, you will leave with some guidance resources to support you after your appointment, additional materials and in - depth resources are available to purchase and included within the signature consultation.
