Knowing my best colors and style blueprint has helped me navigate life (and can help you too!)
Many clients have told me that knowing their best colors and style blueprint is making the aging journey easier, more fun and definitely more colorful and stylish!
My own color and style journey has been life changing. It never gets old having my clients also tell me it’s a life changing transformation as they learn tools to help them move from “what am I going to wear” to “I got this”.
As the first House of Colour franchisee in Northern CA, I opened in 2022 and have helped hundreds of people discover their best colors and then move on to finding their personal style blueprint. Being a House of Colour Consultant is career 2.0 for me. Prior to this, I worked in marketing in Silicon Valley for 30 years and have an MBA. I am also a member of the House of Colour USA's Franchise Advisory Board, an elite group that represents the House of Colour franchisee network.
I love using my corporate experience to help my clients navigate the ever-changing world of what to wear to the office, events and conferences. I also enjoy travel and do so at every opportunity. Putting together travel wardrobes is one of my superpowers and I enjoy sharing tips on how to do this to take the stress out of choosing what clothes to bring on trips.
If you are stuck on the “what am I going to wear, I have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear, and shopping is really frustrating” treadmill and want to get off, I can help! I am here to help you to discover your best color palette and figure out your style blue print so you can cut through the noise of shopping and find clothes that you want to wear that flatter your body and work for your life. It’s possible!
The studio for House of Colour Northeast Santa Rosa is an oasis in the middle of our hectic lives where you can feel pampered as we determine your season and/or style. Everyone comes away with a host of tools to build a sustainable, amazing wardrobe that will build confidence for years to come.
My sunny, light-filled studio is located in my home in the Fountaingrove neighborhood of Santa Rosa, about 10 minutes off Highway 101. Parking is easy and the views of my front yard are pretty. I have a full stock of the “90 Second Makeup” so you can take products home with you from your color analysis to immediately get the face of your season.
Santa Rosa is located in beautiful Sonoma County about 60 miles north of San Francisco. If you are coming from out of the area, I have lots of recommendations for places to eat, wineries to visit (breweries too) and other things to do, so plan a visit around your appointment!

I am looking forward to seeing you in my studio soon!
Why do you love some of your clothes and never wear others? Statistics have shown that we wear 15% of our clothes 85% of the time. House of Colour NE Santa Rosa offers a variety of services where you will learn valuable tools to help you love your closet!
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.
A personal Color Analysis consultation is a 2-3 hour service designed to discover and celebrate YOU. It’s available for women, men and kids. I offer private sessions as well as sessions for two, three or four people. All sessions take place in my studio in Santa Rosa, CA.
The session also includes a subscription to a five week tips-focused email series called, “I got my colors done, now what?”
You may book private and duo appointments via my booking link. You can find pricing on that link too. Email me at sallie.morris@houseofcolour.com to book sessions with three or four people.
I offer gift certificates in any amount. Email me at sallie.morris@houseofcolour.com to request one.
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!
This life-changing session teaches you how to create a wardrobe that allows you to look your best every day. You will discover how your body architecture helps dictate what style of clothing will naturally look better on you.
A Personal Style Analysis is designed to provide guidelines about styles of clothing that will work best for YOU for the rest of your life, regardless of what fashion is doing. We will help you choose the right accessories, patterns and textures to develop and complement your Personal Style.
At House of Colour, we also take personality into account because authenticity is part of creating a wardrobe that reflects confidence, trustworthiness, authority and beauty.
You will get a style work book which is an important tool where we will record all sorts of useful information for your future reference. You will receive access to MyHOCLookBook which is a personalized styling portal designed specifically for House of Colour clients. Your style consultation includes the one-time enrollment fee of $50 for this tool.
The Style Analysis process is very in-depth and takes about 4 hours. I typically offer Style Analysis as a 1:1 service which you can book using my booking link (you can find pricing there too). Duos or groups of three are possible, email me at sallie.morris@houseofcolour.com to discuss. All sessions take place in my studio in Santa Rosa, CA.
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.
I will follow up our session with a personalized photo collage with the highest rated color pairings.
Advanced Color Analysis is offered as a private, 1:1 service and can be booked using my booking link (you can find pricing there too). All sessions take place in my studio in Santa Rosa, CA.
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.

Not only did you help me diagnosis the problem but I feel like I have a much better understanding of how to move forward in choosing clothing that suits my shape as well as my style and I am excited! …. I now completely understand the “blah” factor that I was experiencing and what to do about it!

Knowing my colors has been a total game changer for me! I've always loved shopping but struggled with putting outfits together. I had a closet full of single items that I loved but very few things coordinated. Now that I stay within my season, everything matches. It's so simple, fun, and easy. Shopping is much more focused and productive. This is an investment that you will not regret! It practically pays for itself as your purchases become more intentional. An added bonus is that Sallie is incredible and will make you feel comfortable the moment you step into her studio!

I cannot recommend booking a session with Sallie enough! My session was so much fun, I recommend Sallie to all of my friends! First, Sallie is so warm and inviting, she clearly loves helping her clients and you feel that right away. I found learning about the science of color fascinating. I could not wait to discover my color season. Sallie was phenomenal in helping me understand how to take the information from my color season to making better choices for my clothes, hair color and makeup. I jumped right to making changes with confidence because of the information I gleaned from the session. Shopping and playing with my makeup and hair color is fun again and I have Sallie and HOC to thank.

What a fun experience! I’ve never known what my right colors to wear were, and Sallie was so helpful throughout this process! She helped me find colors that really accentuate “me” and showed me how with the right colors, I actually can wear/use less makeup because my face brightens up with the correct colors for my skin tone. This session went beyond just identifying my colors; Sallie walks you through your “wow” colors and what colors are going to be your best professionally, and how to go about upgrading your closet, which can seem like a very daunting task. So excited to continue to learn more about my colors!
