The schedule is open on a 90-day rolling period.

If you are traveling in from out of town, planning a special event, or have another unique situation where booking far in advance is helpful, please use the “Get in Touch” form to contact us.

Upon scheduling, you will receive detailed information about how to prepare for your analysis. However it is important to note that all makeup must be removed, as well as colored contacts. We cannot do an accurate analysis with any faux tanner on the skin, or with skin that has been recently burnt due to extended sun exposure. If you wear glasses, these will need to be removed during the analysis, and I recommend wearing contacts if you have them. Please also avoid perfume, as it clings to the drapes.

Your natural coloring is just that - natural! So we can do an analysis regardless of how tan you are (so long as it’s natural). Though it may feel like we look better in completely different colors when our skin is lighter or darker, this actually isn’t the case! The analysis will reveal colors that will look harmonious and complimentary on you all year long!

If you use faux tanning products/services, you will need to abstain from these the week leading up to your analysis. These products skew your undertone/coloring, and will lead to inaccurate results in your analysis.

Absolutely! If your hair is colored (even in a color matching/close to your natural hair color) we will cover it during the analysis process to ensure an accurate result. At the end, we can also discuss hair colors that fall into your seasonal tone (this is included in the Elite Color Analysis Package).

If your hair has naturally grayed/whitened, this coloring is actually in line with your natural color harmony! We can leave your hair uncovered, and see the harmony that is achieved with your beautiful locks!

The TCI personal colour communication method is based on the science of natural colour harmony, accurate interpretation of the Munsell colour system, full-spectrum light theory, human physiology, and psychology.

To become a TCI Certified Personal Color Analyst, I undergone months of training including an in-person workshop, completed a thorough hands-on training and competency review, and worked with a TCI Certified Trainer to assess my skills (which are reviewed annually). In addition, I follow TCI 12-Tone Method equipment, including TCI certified drapes.

In order to achieve accurate results, in-person color analysis is required; it is not possible to see color with accuracy online. Digital images are unreliable; computer monitor calibration varies widely and does not present color accurately. In addition, we go to extreme lengths in the studio to create a controlled environment that allows us to see your coloring accurately; this is near impossible to do online or through pictures.

The specific drapes and analysis process that I use as a TCI Certified Color Analyst are protected, intellectual property of TCI. For this reason, these are protected from media use.

However, short videos (like boomerangs), and pictures can be taken with permission during your analysis. In addition, a before and after picture is taken during your analysis, and will be shared with you afterwards.

There’s a big difference! The short answer is that the 12-Tone approach is a much more detailed, scientific, and accurate approach. We take into consideration neutrality in each of the 3 dimensions of color, whereas the 4-Season approach does not. In undertone, for example, the 4-Season approach only recognizes all warm/yellow or all cool/blue, while we now know that 66% of the population is actually neither! The 12-Tone approach expanded upon the traditional color analysis method, and recognizes that there are two additional undertone possibilities: Warm-Neutral (mostly yellow with some blue), and Cool-Neutral (mostly blue with some yellow). This is just one example of the additional depth and accuracy of the 12-Tone method.

If you were analyzed in a different method, it is very likely you will have a different result!

If you were typed in the 4 Season Method (which only has options for warm or cool undertones), you will likely get a different, more specific result with the 12-Tone Method. This method has options for neutral (warm-neutral or cool-neutral) undertones, of which 2/3 of the population have (that’s 66% of people!). This method is more detailed, scientific, reliable than the 4 Season approach. It's a great way to get the most accurate and specific result.

Similarly, if you were analyzed virtually or digitally, it is very likely you will have a different result. Digital images are unreliable; computer monitor calibration varies widely and does not present color accurately; colors from the environment around us (wall paint, furnishings, etc) also affect and skew our coloring, leading to inaccurate results.

Of course! Whether you’re within an hour of Cincinnati, or across the country, I love to take my color services on the road! Under the “Services” tab in the menu, click on “CfC Travels” for more information.
