House of Colour franchise owners bring the client experience to life in their local market. Owners are trained to deliver colour analysis, style analysis, cosmetics sales and education, wardrobe edits, personal shopping and other brand-approved services. They also lead the local business by building community relationships, managing client communication, marketing their services, and following the House of Colour model with consistency and excellence.

No prior experience in fashion or styling is required! House of Colour provides training in our colour analysis and personal styling methodology, along with business guidance to help owners prepare, launch, and operate their franchise. We look for candidates who are: collaborative, living with a growth mindset, committed to excellence, and excited to build a business in their local community.

The ideal House of Colour candidate is someone motivated by purpose, personal growth, high standards, and meaningful client impact. Our owners are often drawn to the opportunity because they want to help others feel more confident while building something of their own.
