Let’s ensure your wardrobe matches the YOU that’s most true!

That’s what we’ll clarify!
Discover how to use the hues and style colors and styles specific to YOU that highlight your natural beauty! Our exclusive color and style analysis is just the start: I’ll take all the time needed to ensure you know exactly how to apply what you learn, and to keep it simple so shopping doesn’t take forever (unless YOU want it to!).
Enjoy ongoing success with my helpful tools, palette and wardrobe ideas, seasonal updates, even fun customer-only events!

Spend a day in the studio with me!
My professional studio offers a warm welcome, right in my home in Holly Springs. It's the first thing you see when you walk in, and it's filled with natural light, large windows & all things color & style!
I absolutely love helping people feel beautiful & confident! What does this mean for you while you are in my chair?
For Color Analysis, it means I take my time. I teach you what to look for, how to see what I am seeing when I drape you in color samples, I teach you how to understand your own coloring so that when you leave my studio, you have a tool belt full of ways to recoginize your colors in the wild!
Here are a few things you will leave your Color Analysis knowing:
- How to shop using your color fan as a tool for clothing & makeup
- How to choose makeup based on your overtones & undertones
- How to curate a wardrobe with your neutrals and your best colors
- How to choose & wear lipcolor & why it's important
- How to choose the best haircolor for your natural coloring
- Which jewelry metals work best with your season & why
- The keywords of your season and how they translate to colors, fabrics & metals
- and so much more!!
For Style Analysis, it means we spend a lot of quality time getting to know you! We take a deep dive into your personality with a personality assessment, we use the principles of science to determine your proportions and balance, we look at your lifestyle to make sure we are evaluating all areas of your life so that you leave with a whole lot more knowledge of yourself than you arrived with!
Some of the things you will leave your Style Analysis knowing:
- Your style personality! Are you more dramatic? Classic? Ingenue? Natural? Gamine? Romantic? Or a combo?
- Fabrics & textures that will honor your personality & lifestyle
- Necklines that flatter your face shape
- Hairstyles that fits your style personality
- How to create balance by tricking the eye (using clothing!)
- How to bring your bust/hip ratio into balance
- Where to eliminate "clutter" on your body
- Scale of accessories & patterns that flatter you best
- Where your hemlines should end
- Best pant styles to flatter your body architecture
- Boots/Booties: Can you? How should you?
- Are rounded or pointed collars, shoes, accessories, etc. best for you?
- and so much more!!
At House of Colour, we are trained in the science of color and how your undertones impact your best colors. We look beyond hair & eye color so that we get it right the first time! By using the fatty layer under your skin (hypodermis), we discover your natural undertone and whether it is warm (yellow based) or cool (blue based). This never changes! We are looking for color harmony with your undertones when we drape you in warm & cool colors. Our training is extensive and requires that we see you in person, in natural light, without makeup or a spray tan. Once you see it, you can't unsee it!
Don't wait to get it right! Let's start your color journey together and set the record straight. You'll be so glad you did!

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!
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.
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.

My style analysis session was great! Nicole was so friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. She double-checked things and gave me loads of information, paying particular attention to how I can incorporate my natural romantic (with a bit of edge!) look in my acting career. I left feeling more confident and finally not so confused about what shapes, styles, and accessories work for me, and I'm so excited to apply it! I even got to learn a little bit about the history of some fashion items, which I found quite interesting. If you're considering a session, take notes in the workbook!! This was perfect for me as I haven't known how to dress myself for many moons. Lol.
