Does this sound familiar?

Your closet is full, yet you still feel like you have nothing to wear.

You buy clothes that look great in the store but somehow don't feel right on you. Shopping feels overwhelming, getting dressed takes longer than it should, and you're never quite sure if your outfit suits you.

The problem isn't you - you simply haven't been given the right tools.

Color Analysis removes the guesswork so getting dressed becomes easier, shopping becomes more intentional, and you can present yourself with confidence—every single day.

 

What is Color Analysis?

Color Analysis is an in-person consultation where we'll compare a carefully curated series of colored drapes against your skin to identify the colors that make you look healthier, brighter, and more vibrant—taking the guesswork out of getting dressed and shopping.

Together, we'll watch how each color affects your appearance in real time. You'll quickly see that some colors naturally enhance your features and create harmony, while others compete with your natural coloring, making you appear tired, washed out, or draw attention to imperfections instead of you. We'll also uncover your signature "WOW" colors, explore makeup shades that naturally enhance your features, and show you how to confidently choose clothing, accessories, hair color, and even linens. 

My goal isn’t just to show you your best colors. It’s to teach you how to recognize and confidently use them long after your appointment ends. Because your season doesn't change, you'll be able to use what you learn for the rest of your life.

Why invest?

Color Analysis is an investment in yourself - one that pays you back every single day. It helps you shop with intention, avoid costly mistakes, simplify your wardrobe, and gain confidence in the choices you make. It takes the same amount of time to put on clothes that truly flatter you as it does to wear clothes that don't. Why not choose the ones that help you look and feel your best? 

Prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish - it’s necessary. Online quizzes and AI can be interesting, but they can't replace experiencing the transformation in person, where you'll see the difference with your own eyes and receive guidance tailored specifically to you.

Imagine opening your closet and knowing everything works together because it was chosen with intention. Instead of wondering what to wear, you'll know—and you'll be free to focus on what truly matters, your life.

Meet Yolanda

As a licensed cosmetologist with a background in education, I’ve observed many people try to change parts of themselves to feel better about themselves. House of Colour has shown me the beauty of enhancing what is already there. Becoming a consultant has felt like a natural extension of everything I’ve trained and worked for up until now. 

I first learned of House of Colour through my sister. I tagged along to her Color Analysis appointment to support her and see what it was all about. I had never heard of color analysis, and honestly, I didn't think it was something I needed. But with her second drape—one of her "WOW" colors—I was completely floored. Watching her eyes light up right in front of me made me realize there was far more to Color Analysis than I could have imagined.

Throughout my own process I’ve learned to trust my instincts instead of second-guessing myself, relying on trends, or other people's opinions. This hasn't just changed the way I get dressed—it’s changed the way I show up. I want other people to discover the same clarity, confidence, and freedom I found. I believe knowledge is meant to be shared. To me, Color Analysis isn't about changing yourself—it's about uncovering what's already there and giving yourself permission to embrace it. One of my favorite moments is watching a client look in the mirror and suddenly say, "That's why those clothes never worked." Witnessing that realization never gets old.

I hope you'll leave your appointment with greater confidence, practical knowledge, and the freedom to trust yourself. It would be an honor to help you discover the colors that let your natural beauty shine and support you as you continue becoming the most authentic version of yourself.

 

My Services

Take a look at the services I currently offer.

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.

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.
