When people ask what I do, I say “I change peoples‘ lives… and I do it with COLOR.” I help my clients celebrate their God-given uniqueness! Everyone deserves to know their WOW colors and a House of Colour consultation will do that for you.


Karen Blanc

I believe I have the best job in the world. Helping my clients unlock the mysteries of dressing & shopping never gets old! When I started my House of Colour Journey in early 2014, I never dreamed what an amazing adventure it would be. It’s hard to believe that this spring I will be celebrating my 10 year anniversary and over 2000 color clients.

 

When I had my colors & style done, I experienced a personal transformation that was life-changing. Now helping others discover how to look and feel their best is even more satisfying!

One of my favorite things is simplifying the lives of women with “90 Second Makeup”. I coined this phrase when I started my color business because I personally do not want to spend more than 90 seconds applying my makeup each morning. Less is more when the colors are doing the work. A fun part of a personal color consultation is finding the PERFECT lipstick colors and makeup for YOU.

This is where the magic happens.

My Color Studio is in a sunny room in my home at 315 N. Thomas Avenue in Oakland, Nebraska. This is where I welcome clients from across the state and around the country.

It is our sophisticated color analysis process that attracted me to House of Colour, and it is a constant joy to bring this color magic to my clients.

I also keep a full inventory of our fabulous "90 Second Makeup" in my studio so that I can send my clients home with products that have been personalized to them.

Services

My team of Associates and I provide a full range of services for you.

Get dressed every day with purpose, ease, and JOY! A color analysis provides you with life-changing information. Using precision-dyed drapes and my extensive training I will prove to you the value of knowing your season; a palette of colors customized to your unique undertones. We apply this information to women, men, and children of all races, ethnicities, and genders. Your season will never change so this is information you can carry with you for a lifetime.

There are three parts to every color session. First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and when applicable: hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup products will take the guesswork out of choosing colors that highlight your natural beauty. Finally, we'll dive further into your season and choose the best colors for your casual and professional life, discovering your list of WOW colors.

You will leave your appointment with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a brochure full of tips and reminders specific to you that you can reference later to make shopping and wearing your new colors a confident experience!

You should arrive at your analysis free of spray tans and makeup for optimal accuracy. No pictures will be taken without permission, nor are they shared on social media without your consent.

I like to say that this service is one of the best investments of time & money that you can make... It is knowledge you will use everyday when you dress & shop. It will simplify your life - saving you money, time & energy by knowing the colors that honor you. 

My team and I provide a very thorough 2.5-3 hour service. COST: $300

Discover the science behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll teach you how to combine who you are with how you dress so you can step out into the world looking fabulous as your authentic self. We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework- we call this a “Clothing Personality. You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, and accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. Because we factor your personality into this framework, our style analysis goes a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces so your clothing not only looks great but also represents who you are.

For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. We'll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren't working for you, so you save time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.

You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we'll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you've already had a color analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

I conduct my STYLE sessions in groups of 4-6 in my home once a month 10am-5pm. It is a full day of learning and discovery! Understanding your STYLE is the second piece of the puzzle to unlocking the mysteries of your closet. Many clients think that STYLE analysis is even more mind-blowing than the COLOR process. Cost is $300. I schedule STYLE sessions by email at karensueblanc@aol.com or karen.blanc@houseofcolour.com.

"Learning my colors and style personality has been a gift that keeps on giving!  I was so glad I was able to learn both through Karen. The style class was so interesting, as I saw how every woman in the class was a different style personality - but when we all dressed in OUR styles, we were able to show up as our best selves. I think both processes are fascinating. 

When i comes to makeup, I had never felt like I could find the right lipstick color and figured lipstick just wasn't for me… Until I learned I needed cool toned colors. Karen helped me find the perfect shade, and I wear it every single day. Thank you for what you do, Karen!"

I've had SO many compliments since having my colors done. Many times it is as simple as ‘that’s your color!'. Other times people comment how ‘put together’ I look. Thank you Karen."

“My husband gifted me with my color analysis for my birthday. I had thought I had some idea of what season I was, but turns out I was so wrong. I showed up to my appointment with Karen wearing all black - and came to find out that I am an AUTUMN. Black was one of my worst colors and I am so glad to know. After finding out what my best colors are, shopping & getting ready has become so much easier. This means so much especially because I am in a season of life with little kids! I'm so thankful for Karen's services & talent.”
