How do I prepare for my session?

Dress comfortably (in layers if necessary)! You will wear a cape during the session so if you are warm, wear a light layer. Come as you are - without make-up, if possible or be prepared to use a makeup wipe to remove it prior to draping.

Please no strong perfume/fragrances, colored contact lenses, and no fake tanning products. If you have had a spray tan within the past week please wait to come in (recent sun exposure is fine).

If you wear glasses, you will be asked to remove them periodically during the analysis, so clear contact lenses may be a better option if you have them.

Gray hair? Colored hair? No problem!

In order to correctly perform the analysis, any colored or highlighted hair will be covered with a neutral gray cap. We will remove it at the end for photos though! If desired, we can even visit after the analysis about natural hair colors that fall in your season.

Natural gray hair is just that - natural! No need to cover your hair for the analysis.

Can I bring children, a significant other, family, or friends?

Unless the child is receiving their own personal analysis, I strongly recommend you leave little ones at home. If your older child is interested in observing they are welcome to join you, but remember this is YOUR time! Relax and enjoy it! The process of discovery is fun and exciting, so if your friend, significant other, Aunt, Mother or anyone near and dear to you wants to see what it’s all about, I invite them to join you as an observer.

Can I take photos or video during the session?

I have a strict no video policy during the color analysis process and photos are by permission only. Due to Intellectual Property rights, the drapes I use and process of the analysis are protected from media use. We will have the opportunity at the end of the session to capture a beautiful portrait or candid photo! Please feel free to snap a “before” picture - the comparison is priceless!
