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.

Articulated beautifully

Hello Kim, I would like to say that everything I have purchased has been extremely useful. The [colour analysis training in a box] course was very clear and articulated beautifully for me. Thank you. I received the training on Tuesday 4 March and I had my first colour analysis workshop/party on Saturday 8th!

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!

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.

Easy style of learning

Hi Kim, I keep dipping in and out of my fabulous colour analysis it is a useful reminder and easy to access when I need it. I'm enjoying using my knowledge at work with customers and the design team. I wanted to learn about colour analysis because I find it fascinating. Thank you so much for your easy style of learning, I'm so much more confident than I was before gaining 'The knowledge'.

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.

In part 8 you do a Personality Questionnaire, could I please have a copy of these to use? Thanks. Kim’s reply – Amanda, the quiz together with the answers are in the online training resources included with your course, just login and scan down the document list.

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.

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.

You have come to the right place

If you are looking to train in colour analysis, or to broaden your skills as a stylist or image consultant- you have come to the right place. Kim Bolsover is the oracle of all things colour and image, with a franchise free, no-nonsense, modern approach. Gone are the age old ideologies of putting everyone in a box, instead theories that put the individual client first and actually work. A brilliant mentor and business leader. Highly recommended.

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.
