I can't wait to help you radiate confidence and joy as you build a colorful wardrobe that reflects you authentically! Now serving Bath, Washington, Jamesville, Greenville, Winterville, and surrounding areas in Eastern North Carolina.
Welcome to House of Colour Bath, NC!
I have always been interested in fashion, makeup, and shopping. What started as fun, being a little girl playing “dress up”, became a chore as my life got busier, more responsibilities were added to my plate, and my body changed after growing older, having children…..all the things! It was easy for my confidence to be shaken throughout this process. After a friend introduced me to House of Colour, I decided to invest in myself.
Thanks to my Color Analysis and Style Analysis, I have grown in an understanding of myself and knowledge of how to best present myself to the world. This has saved me both time and money! I have learned how to shop for what honors me best instead of looking to others for inspiration which easily translated to negative comparison. Curating a wardrobe that flatters my natural coloring and body architecture has improved my confidence and helped me be the person I was created to be!
I’m so thankful I made this investment in myself. This journey has impacted my life in ways I never expected! I want that for you as well. In your appointments, I will help you discover your very best colors, and help you begin the process of creating a wardrobe you love, one that is uniquely yours!
My main goal is to help you see how beautiful you are and start to live your life on purpose, for a purpose!
I’d be honored to help guide you through this journey, helping you to look and feel your very best!

Welcome to our studio in Bath, NC!
When you walk into the studio, you’re greeted with a warm welcome and a space that’s full of natural light, big windows, and all things color and style. My studio is tucked right inside my home in Bath, North Carolina, and it’s designed to be both inviting and inspiring — a place where I hope you’ll feel completely at ease from the moment you arrive.
I truly love helping people feel beautiful, confident, and empowered to live the lives they were created to. So what does that mean for you while you're here?
Color Analysis
At your Color Analysis appointment, we will do more than just find your best colors — I'll teach you why they work and how to spot them on your own. Throughout the draping process, I will talk to you about what I am observing and help you learn to look for these same things when you're out shopping or selecting clothing to wear. While I love hearing from you long after your appointment, I want you to have the tools to know how to choose clothing that will make you feel your absolute best.
Here are some of the things we will cover during your Color Analysis:
- How to use your color fan to shop for clothing
- The correct makeup based on your unique overtones and undertones
- Your season's best colors and neutrals and how to create outfits that incorporate all of these
- How to wear lipstick that truly lights up your face — and why it matters
- How to choose hair color that complements your natural coloring
- Which jewelry metals work best with your season and why
- The keywords of your season and what that means for fabrics, colors, and accessories
Style Analysis
Style Analysis is all about helping you dress in the most authentic way possible. I want to help you match what's on the outside with what's on the inside. We'll take time to explore your personality, your proportions, and your lifestyle. From a personality assessment to understanding your body architecture, I guide you through a process that’s both scientific and deeply personal.
You'll leave your Style Analysis knowing:
- Your style personality (Are you Classic? Natural? Romantic? Gamine? Ingenue? Dramatic? Or a blend?)
- Which fabrics and textures suit your lifestyle and personality
- Necklines that flatter your face shape
- Hairstyles that fit your personal style
- How to create balance and harmony in your outfits
- Where to create visual space or minimize volume
- The best scale for accessories and prints
- Hemline and pant style tips tailored to your body structure
- Which shoe shapes, collars, and accessories work best for you and so much more!
At House of Colour, we’re trained in the science of color — and that means we go beyond hair and eye color. We will only ever complete your Color Analysis in-person. We will do many drape comparisons to discover your natural undertone....either warm (yellow-based) or cool (blue-based). You'll be amazed at the difference the correct colors can make for you. I truly believe it will change the way you see yourself and how you show up to your life.
Makeup
At your appointment, you will receive a bespoke makeup consultation. House of Colour carries a full line of high-quality, clean makeup. Our makeup is held to strict EU standards and made here in the USA. These products are specially formulated to enhance your natural coloring and is categorized by season. You will learn the exact eyeshadows, blush, lipstick, lip liner, eye liner, and mascara shades that will suit you best. No more spending money on products in a store only to get them home and be unhappy! We also carry a full line of foundations, powders, primer, sunscreen, and more!
You can purchase House of Colour makeup from my studio at your in-person consultation, by contacting me directly to order from my inventory, or by going shopping on the House of Colour website! Just click on the “Shop Online” tab to place your order there. Don't forget to enter your Client Code to enjoy a 30% discount off your makeup purchase! Just email me if you need my code.

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 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.

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!

View TestimonialHouse of Color truly changed my life! Mrs. Clinkscales is the most encouraging and helpful stylist. I walked out of my appointment feeling incredibly confident and like a whole new person. I never knew that cool toned bronzer existed before this appointment, and I can tell a difference in my appearance when I wear cool toned makeup! Funny enough, my color palette consists of all my favorite colors! I always loved wearing the color blue (my closet and bedroom prove this statement), but thanks to Color Analysis I have learned that there are so many other colors to explore and wear besides only blue. I believe that this service will save you money in the long run, since you know exactly what colors suit you rather than wasting money on the colors that don't do much for your personal profile! This service is well worth it and also so fun! It's also a fabulous Christmas or birthday treat for yourself or someone else. Life changing!
