    Slow baby steps at first

    I have just finished listening to the 4th module of Colour Yourself Fabulous. I know that I will go back and listen and watch again to help the valuable information to sink in and get a handle on everything. I have taken the step and decided that yes this is what I want to do, to enjoy and enlighten other ladies on the joy of colour. These will be slow baby steps at first, but I am so excited on taking these steps. Thank you Kim for making me smile and for the enjoyable conversation yesterday.

    Charities are benefitting

    Kim, did 2 consultations during half-term break (had 3 people asking but I needed a bit of a break) and both ladies are so delighted they have weeded out their wardrobes and donated loads to charity. Charities are benefitting from colour styling! I took your advice and cut down on the work that goes into the client profile.

    Helped me develop my business further

    I'm very happy to inform you that I have finished studying the colour analysis in a box and I feel really confident to have started the colour analysis on my clients. As you are aware that I am already running my Image consultation business, a well-informed study on this subject has helped me develop my business further. I now request my diploma. I have also purchased the colour analysis starter set which I am looking forward to.

    Huge fan of your training

    Dear Kim, I am a huge fan of your training and blogs and I have gained a lot from undertaking the training both personally and for my business. Whilst I find colour clients rarely ask about my training, I do find business people and journalists in particular do, so would it be possible to have certificates for the colour analysis training and the advanced colour analysis training too please? [all training includes certification] I can then display them in my studio and it gives the journalists a perspective for their articles.

    Dear Kim, I would firstly like to say thank you for such wonderful courses. I have just completed my Colour Analysis and Ladies Style courses and training manuals and both courses were so informative and enjoyable. I just need to get going now and gosh, I am so nervous! I absolutely love colour as I am qualified in Colour Healing Therapy and I love the psychology of it all, so am looking forward to applying my new skills.

    You help in every which way

    Thank you so much, thank you. I am so very glad to have received my Colour Analysis training under your guidance. It’s amazing how you help in every which way. Thank you for giving out real life examples to help me with my doubt. It really explains well that we can’t and should not have any fixed rules in colour analysis unless a colour gives confidence and looks fabulous near the face of a person. And I completely agree that we cannot convince our clients to wear only the colours that appear in the swatch wallet. In fact, I did tell her to go ahead and wear black as it suits her a lot. Thank you so much again, the idea of no fixed rules really helps in clearing my confusion. As you always keep repeating, colour is subjective.

    No more procrastinating

    First of all I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Colour Yourself Fabulous sessions! I've loved colour analysis for more years than I care to remember but have only ever dabbled and never taken it beyond an interest, that is until now. When I found out that you were offering the tonal system training with the option to pay in monthly instalments I thought - no more procrastinating, time to get my kit and caboodle in gear!

    Learned so many new things

    Hi Kim, I am loving your Colour Analysis Explained programme. Like you say, it's about nothing but colour - refreshing. I've only watched it once and learned so many new things. I did a colour course in the Nineties and couldn't find enough customers to make their monthly quota so I gave up. I didn't want a lot of customers anyway. I wanted to enjoy colour and I didn't with that. This programme is letting me do that. Thanks so much for doing this course.

    Total fan of tonal system

    Hi Kim, just ordered the Seasonal and Tonal System Training. After watching your videos on colour analysis, I had an epiphany and realised that I had been using the seasonal system just because I hadn’t understood the potential of the tonal system. Now I’m a total fan of the tonal system – it allows me to see and appreciate the first dominants of a woman and, after that, check my observations with the drapes. I just love it!

    Enthusiasm and knowledge inspiring

    Thanks so much for the [colour analysis] course last week. I thoroughly enjoyed the time with you. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is inspiring. My brain has been on overload for the last few days. I got the file out this morning and went over the notes. It's starting to slot into place. Whilst watching TV over the weekend it was impossible to not try to guess which season people were! Celebs are rather confusing because they change their hair colour! I would love to do additional training with you. Please keep me informed of future courses. I have to thank you again. Your method of teaching and your flexibility in attitude already has left me feeling so much more confident in my abilities.

    Refreshing alternative

    Kim taught me so much about the image business. Her color analysis classes along with style, personal shopping, and other courses such as color personality were foundational to my training. Love it that she always says to give the client what she wants! Such a refreshing alternative to some training companies with their strict and rigid rules! Join the adventure, and take your training with Kim!
