Ankeny, IA

You deserve to look in the mirror and love what you see. I believe that when we own how we were created - our unique tone (color) and personality (style) - we step out of the comparison game and step into the spaces we were designed to thrive and impact.

✨ Wear Confidence ✨

You deserve to look in the mirror and love what you see. 

Whether you’re curious about your best colors, ready to refresh your wardrobe, or simply tired of wearing clothes that don't feel like you, you’re in the right place. This is where the magic happens. 

Helping you discover your best colors and personal style isn’t about appearance, it’s about feeling at home in your own skin. Every person deserves that moment of clarity. It’s a privilege to be part of it.

COLOR ANALYSIS

A personal color analysis reveals the shades that naturally make your features come to life. You’ll leave your session knowing your best clothing colors, cosmetic shades, metals, and hair color options. The goal is to empower you with tools to build a closet that works for you. It’s truly the best appointment you'll ever have!

STYLE ANALYSIS

Style analysis brings together your natural body structure and personality. We've all put on an item of clothing that fits us perfectly but we don't feel ourselves. A personal style session beautifully mixes how your body and personality were created so you buy pieces that reflect who you are and love wearing them again and again. Together, we’ll create a path forward to build a wardrobe that feels authentic and uniquely yours.

My Services

I offer personalized services to give you focused attention and tools that last long after the appointment.

Color Analysis

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 jewelry, 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.

You’ll walk away with more than just colors — you’ll leave knowing how to make every outfit, every purchase, and every morning a little bit easier and a whole lot more joyful.

Style Analysis

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!

Advanced Color Analysis

Advanced Color Analysis is an opportunity revisit your season, refresh your seasonal color knowledge and build upon the foundation of your personal color analysis. It’s something you may want to explore at least three to six months after your initial House of Colour color analysis (I am happy to discuss ideal timing with you).

During this appointment, we'll dive deeper into the specifics of your season and show you color combos, and more makeup options, and provide guidance specific to you.

You will leave your appointment with an Advanced Color guide in your season where we will log all color and make up combinations (we rate them too!) for future reference. You may pair this guide with your fan and color brochure you received at your first color analysis to further customize your look.

Sessions take approximately two to three hours and we will review 40+ color combinations in your season.

Personal Shopping

My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalize how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.

Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your closet for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.

There are a number of ways for you to personalize our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:

  • We can shop together in person
  • I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
  • I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
  • Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

Wardrobe Edit

This appointment is designed to take the knowledge you gained in your color and/or style appointment and apply it to your own specific wardrobe. I will help you filter through the pieces you don't wear so you can donate them and provide joy to someone else and keep your own closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.

”So here's how you know my style refresh it has been a complete success. I was at a wedding down in Des Moines last weekend and between the ceremony and reception, I went out to Jordan Creek Mall to just kill some time do a little shopping. I had two random women come up to me and tell me how good I looked.  

Also, I literally just left a gas station and a random woman came up to me and said ‘you just look so nice today and I just had to tell you that I just love your outfit!’

I have never had someone come up and tell me those things, even though I had my colors done. But now that I have clarity on my style, I'm actually stepping into more of the dramatic natural. 

Three times in less than two weeks is just insane to me to have random strangers come up and tell me that I look good! That feels really nice and I thought I should share that with you.“

View Testimonial

My children gifted me a House of Colour color analysis session for Mother’s Day, and it was such a wonderful experience. I did the session with my daughter which made it extra fun!! Kerry Wise was incredibly thorough in explaining the process to us and made sure we understood each step along the way. She was also so sweet, kind, and easy to work with, which made the session both enjoyable and comfortable.

I learned a lot about the colors that complement me best, and I left feeling more confident about my wardrobe and makeup choices. Kerry’s knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality made this a truly special gift experience. I would highly recommend a House of Colour session with Kerry to anyone looking to discover their best colors and gain valuable style insights.”
