FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS COLOR ANALYSIS?
In simple terms, personal color analysis involves examining your natural coloring to find a set of colors that complement you best. Once we identify your ideal tones, you can use them to simplify choices for clothing, makeup, accessories, and more!
Do your features suit warm tones? Cool ones? Or perhaps a neutral mix? Should your colors be bold and vibrant, or soft and subtle? Light or deep shades?
These are the questions we’ll answer during your color analysis session!
IS PCA WORTH THE INVESTMENT?
Personal Color Analysis (PCA) helps you discover which colors naturally complement your skin, hair, and eyes, enhancing your overall appearance and boosting confidence. By providing you with a personalized color palette, PCA makes it easier to select clothing, makeup, and accessories, saving time and money while ensuring your look is cohesive and vibrant.
Beyond just appearance, color analysis opens the door to new possibilities, encouraging you to explore colors you might not have considered before. Whether you're a professional, entrepreneur, influencer, student, or anyone looking to refine their style, a PCA equips you to make confident, informed choices and helps you present your best self in any situation. It’s a meaningful investment in both your look and your confidence.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
The consultation lasts 90 to 120 minutes. You're welcome to wear something comfortable, but please come without makeup, concealer, or sunless tanner. Avoid sunburns or significant sun exposure for at least a week before your appointment to ensure accurate results. Please refrain from wearing perfume, as it can transfer onto the drapes. If you wear glasses, I may ask you to remove them throughout the analysis, so clear contact lenses could be a more convenient choice.
WHAT IF MY HAIR IS COLORED OR GRAYING?
Colored or highlighted hair will be covered with a neutral grey cap during the analysis to ensure an accurate result. It can be removed at the end if you would like a photo in one of the drapes in your season. We can also discuss natural hair colors that fall in your color tone.
Natural gray hair is no problem, it’s just that - natural. No need to cover your hair for the analysis.
CAN I BRING MY CHILD, FRIEND OR PARTNER?
YES! If you want to bring a friend (or two), please let me know in advance. Color analysis is such a fun way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or new life adventure! Due to the length of service, children under the age of 10 are not recommended unless receiving a service themselves. Nursing mothers and infants are welcome.
IF I HAVE HAD MY COLORS DONE IN THE PAST BY A DIFFERENT SYSTEM, DO I NEED TO BE REEVALUATED?
If you've been analyzed using a different method, your results may differ. For instance, the 4-Season Method only categorizes undertones as either warm or cool, so switching to the 12-Tone Method, which also includes neutral undertones (warm-neutral and cool-neutral), often gives a more precise result—especially since most people fall into a neutral category. The 12-Tone Method is more scientific and dependable compared to the 4-Season approach, offering greater accuracy.
Likewise, if you've had a virtual or digital analysis, the outcome may vary. Digital images can be unreliable due to differences in screen calibration, which can distort color accuracy.
CAN I TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS DURING THE APPOINTMENT?
Video recording is not permitted during the color analysis, and photos can only be taken with permission. The drapes and the analysis process are considered intellectual property of TCI and are protected from media usage. At the end of the session, you’ll have the chance to take a lovely photo wearing one of your drapes, along with a “before” picture. The comparison between the two is always fascinating to see!
DOES COLOR ANALYSIS NEED TO BE DONE IN PERSON?
YES! For accurate results, you must be in person. You cannot tell color tone through a camera or video screen.
