Students can choose from the 1-Day Stylist Training, 2-Day Color Analysis Training, 3-Day Fashion Stylist & Color Analysis Training, 5-Day Personal Stylist Training, 7-Day Image Consultant Training, or the comprehensive 2-Week Image Consultant & Personal Stylist Training.

Color analysis can be worthwhile when you want a repeatable way to choose clothing, makeup, hair shades, and accessories with more confidence. Rather than buying colors that sit unworn, you receive direction based on characteristics such as undertone, depth, intensity, and contrast. The value is strongest when you apply the guidance consistently while editing your wardrobe and making future purchases.
