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.
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 20% booking fee ($65 for one, $110 for two, $165 for three, $220 for four, etc). 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 Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle at your appointment. If you wish to pay by credit card, please let me know so I may invoice you beforehand. My contact information/location/parking information is provided at the bottom of your appointment confirmation email.
Once your color palette is determined, we will look through it and talk about suggestions for clothing, accessories and makeup. Please feel free to bring some of your favorite items of clothing or accessories (think glasses, shirts, dresses, accessories or makeup) to swatch.
