Preparing for your Appointment
I want you to have the best experience possible! Come ready to relax, have fun, and learn! To ensure the most accurate results, please follow the guidelines below.
Skin: Please do not spray tan, self-tan, have a heavy sunburn, or any kind of treatment on your face that could leave your skin red and sensitive before your appointment. (Plan higher strength chemical peels, micro needling, and treatments alike after your Color Analysis appointment.) We will be removing any make up (including tinted moisturizer) prior to your analysis. If you are coming from home, you are welcome to arrive with no makeup. It is best to have your skin in its most natural state in order to see how the drapes affect the appearance of your skin. With that being said; I do have makeup remover!
Eyes: If you wear glasses, they will need to be taken off during the analysis. If you are concerned that you will be unable to see clearly and have contact lenses, please wear those instead. Please avoid wearing any colored contacts that change the natural color of your eyes as it could affect your results.
Hair: I will be covering your hair with a neutral colored cap if it contains any toner, dye or highlights.
Perfume: Please do not wear heavy perfume. Some clients are very sensitive and once the smell permeates the drapes it can be very difficult to remove.
Clothing: Please avoid wearing a high collared shirt or shirt with bulk around the neck (like a hoodie). A crew neck, v-neck or button-down shirt is best. You will be wearing a cape over your clothing so you may wish to dress in layers if you tend to run warm.
Allergies: Please let us know if you have any allergies to foods, drinks, fabrics, or animals.
Pictures: Please refrain from taking any pictures during the analysis. The drapes are proprietary information of True Colour International. At the end of your color analysis, I will take a picture of you in your one of your favorite tonal drapes and TCI swatch book.
Payment: All appointments require a non-refundable 50% booking fee. The fee collected is applied to your total the day of your appointment, and the remaining balance is due at your appointment. If you need to cancel for the time being or reschedule, your booking fee will be applied to your new appointment date when you reschedule within the year. I understand that life happens, just please remember to communicate with me if something arises. I accept payment at your appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring a friend along?
Absolutely, you are more than welcome to bring friends and family along. If more than 2-3 people please let me know in advance.
Will my hair color affect my consultation?
It will NOT affect your results. During your analysis, I will cover your hair with a neat little head covering. If you have gray hair or natural hair color, no need to worry about that because it’s natural!
If I’ve had my colors done before, could my results be different?:
Your results certainly could be different. TCI uses a scientific approach evaluating the three dimensions of color; hue, value and chroma to determine your season.
Unlike the traditional 4 Season Method, TCI accounts for the neutrality of skin tone, those being warm/neutral and cool/neutral undertones. The neutral aspect accounts for 67% of the population. This means that more than half of the population has neither all warm nor all cool undertones.
This aspect of the analysis alone will guarantee a different and more accurate determination in which season suits you. TCI also accounts for sub-seasons in each season, Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer. These sub-seasons have colors unique from each other.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about your color analysis consultation
Great question!
Before your appointment, please avoid sun exposure resulting in sunburn. If you have
sunburn, we will have to reschedule your appointment for another date.
Please Do Not wear makeup of any kind, self-tanner or colored contact lenses.
You’ll want to dress comfortably since you’ll be sitting for an hour or more during your
consultation.
Please do NOT wear perfume or cologne. Although I have an affinity for fragrances, they can
be absorbed into the drapes used in our consultation.
If you wear glasses, we will need to remove those periodically during the session, so
colorless contacts may be best if possible.
