What is Color Analysis?
You’ll see the difference instantly. That moment when a color lights up your face, makes your skin glow and your eyes brighten. A color analysis is the start of a deep, natural confidence that stays with you forever.
Knowing the color tones for your hair is information included in your analysis, as well as a make-up application including lipsticks that will look amazing on you, and a guide to finding your best colors in your favorite clothing stores.
About Your Appointment
We see clients in groups: organize with your friends, or request to be added to a warm, friendly, and informative session. You may also schedule an exclusive individual appointment.
