Colour psychology in action

Having just watched the Colour Psychology Course has been helpful to get a bit more from it all, see it [colour psychology] in action and the potential that is there, not only with the quiz, but in various other forms of psychology too as ideas to think about to add in later. I still need to go thru all the resources, so I'm sure I'll get some more direction after that too.

You get what you pay for

I recently purchased Colour Analysis in a Box and want to say thank you very much for offering it at such a great price. I recently did colour analysis training with a company in South Africa because it was affordable (i.e. cheap!). You get what you pay for! I learnt so much more from your first session than I did the entire course! I think your course is brilliant and very inspiring. I will soon be setting up my business and feel so much more confident about it now. I will be ordering my supplies from you and just have a couple of questions before I do so. Thank you and I'm looking forward to doing business with you.

Informative advanced training

Thanks again for a lovely informative advanced training day - it's always good to attend these days as you learn/get great ideas from your peers as well as the trainer, which i did. Was buzzing on the train on the way home so that I couldn't doze even though i was so tired.

The cherry on the cake

Dear Kim, thank you for the excellent training that you offer. I was absolutely delighted with your approach to colour psychology and also how easily explained is your colour training. I'm a (ambivert) NFP, love mingling with people but also very happy geeking for hours on my own. What I do at the moment to pay the bills, night shifts with very sick children, proves the second. For me everything is related and complements. The fact that you also do it for the individual and its characteristics and not because of the rules or what is in fashion is the cherry on the cake.

Just ordered

Just ordered [colour analysis training in a box] ! Can’t wait to learn more from you. I use a regular 4 seasons colour testing for my clients and it has been very successful. But I want to expand my horizons and learn everything about a tonal method.

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.

Most comprehensive program

Hello there Kim! I have just finished your wonderful Color Analysis in a Box and Tonal Taster training and would like to request my Diploma. I have been immersed in the wonderful world of learning all about your color system and have to say this is by far the best experience abroad that I have ever had and feel very blessed to have you as my teacher! I found it to be the most comprehensive program I could find and the one that makes total sense to me.

Big besos from España and thank you

First I would like to say congrats for your amazing performance on the [fabulous colour analysis] course. Second, I would love to say thanks for giving to us the opportunity to have 3 coaching calls with you, for me it’s more than a treasure! Let me tell you that I’ve studied with others previously and it’s been very, very interesting to contrast the different ways and I’m enjoying and understanding too, that the more I know, the more I still have to learn so I would love to prepare some very important questions for you. I can’t lose this opportunity! Big besos from España and thank you again for everything!

Sincere support and encouragement

I recently purchased your online course Fabulous Colour and have learned so much after just the first day. I'm gearing up to put myself out there as a color consultant. I'm 50 years old and I'm having a 'do-over' in my life. Your no-nonsense attitude and sincere support are not only encouraging, but also inspiring.

Wonderful ongoing support

Dear Kim, I am doing another Tonal Taster session based you your wonderful 2-hour talk/session and shrinking it in to ¾ hr - getting 50+ women to move about from seating positions will be a challenge help! Thank you for helping me initially with this some time ago. Your tips are always very useful and boost my confidence when I feel it’s such a long time since I used the method. Being a hair and make-up artist I only talk colour confidence a few times a year. Thank you again for providing such a good [Colour Analysis Training in a Box] course and wonderful ongoing support.

Already earned back half the course fee

Thank you for all your help so far. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying colour and each client has been over the moon. They've been telling everyone they know which has lead to more and more clients. Your idea of the costs has been great - I have already earned back half the [fabulous colour analysis] course fee! I’ve also booked the Advanced Training which I'm really looking forward to.
