The boost I need

Hi Kim, Thanks for taking the time to talk to me today – I know how busy you are and I really appreciate your help. I love how calm you are and your confidence really helps give me the boost I need (despite not knowing much at all!). I will have a read of your offers tonight but I will definitely be ordering the Colour Analysis in a Box course! I am excited about it already. I thank my lucky stars I stumbled across you on the web as you really are fab! Thanks.

A fantastic teacher

I would love to meet you when you come to Australia. My business partner thinks you are a fantastic teacher and you have a true talent for fashion. It would be great to get together and talk about business, fashion and colour. We would have so many things to talk about!

Square eyed and spaced out

Just a quickie to say I have the Colour Analysis Explained course and I popped it on to see if it worked and six training sessions later I was square eyed and a bit spaced out. Enjoyable to watch for the footnotes (for me). I also enjoyed Pennie and her being Bright. I bet she felt so much better after that!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
