From the star of 'Colour Analysis in a Box'
"Thanks very much for the DVD which has just arrived. You were right, after a few minutes I forgot it was me and just got involved in the conversation. I do sound very posh. In fact I've decided we are both ladies who lunch!!!!!! Having looked at myself on the video I am definitely going to take my own advice and dress in one colour." Susan Carter, the star of 'Colour Analysis in a Box'.
I thought how natural we both looked and how clear it was to follow. Plus I had forgotten how great the pink looked with the dark brown. Mmmm, must go shopping." |
"This
is just to say how great the DVD course looks. I've been avoiding
watching it but bit the bullet today and looked at DVD 4. This
is the one where you analyse my colours.
These
testimonials are all real!
All the following testimonials are ONLY from those who are using the DVD-based self-study package 'Colour Analysis in a Box'. I have not published full names or towns as I don't know at what stage each student feels ready to declare themselves as a fully-fledged, open-for-business colour consultant and some may be studying this course purely for their own personal improvement anyway, but I have kept every single email, letter and card so any of these testimonials can be verified as being real!
CONSIDERING
THE SELF-STUDY APPROACH?
Thinking about learning colour analysis by self-study?
"Thanks so much for your reply. What a nice surprise. I appreciate the letter and advice and as soon as we are back to normal in October, I think I will work on getting focused to learn. I really think it is interesting and I can clearly see what a difference it makes when people wear what truly flatters them. I just have to learn the how and why theory so I am confident in what my eyes are seeing. Thanks again for the encouraging words." KM, USA
"Thanks for your time today, I hardly let you talk, how rude of me...I am very excited about the course and the products. I cannot wait to get stuck in! I will send you a photo, I'd love to know your thoughts... Something 'clicked' today, at school (a long time ago!) we had to wear a (particularly dirty shade of) cream blouse. I always broke the rules and wore a crisp white linen one... neither were great but the white one felt and looked so much better...but I definitely have a warm skin tone, maybe I 'knew' back then?" GS, UK
"Hello ! I ordered my materials yesterday & received a confirmation phone call from you today which was great so THANK YOU! I wanted to ask how long the materials usually take to get to Melbourne, Australia where I live? I can't wait to get them & start the course!" AA, Australia (this parcel took 4 working days to arrive)
"I have decided to do the DVD course now and try and complete it before going to Copenhagen at the beginning of August to buy next year's spring collection. I thought it would be a very helpful tool before buying. I just hope with the boutique that time will allow me to do this!" BJ, Sweden
"You emailed me a little while ago asking me if I was still interested in the DVD colour box course. At the time, I was just beginning another correspondence course via the UK in Image Consulting/fashion styling, and was sure the content of the colour part of the course would suffice. However, now that I've almost finished the colour module, it turns out it's very vague and definitely not enough for my business. I still don't know how to use the 60 starter drapes I bought from you as there was only about a half page for each tonal type. And the descriptions made me confused as middle eastern women have different skin tones/eye colors in comparison to the ones mentioned in the text book. I couldn't classify a few of my friends. What I like most is the fact that there is ongoing support on your side, that is really important. Here in Syria we have such a diverse spectrum of looks and individual colouring and my main concern is that the training can apply to all origins. Do you think that the course is suitable for me in that regard? I was quite upset to find out that I still don't know where I fit in the tonal approach according to the other company's manual. When I had my colours done, I was told I was a warm Spring. Now I'm second guessing my own wardrobe!! Anyhow, I really appreciate your support Kim, you've really helped with all your advice, and I love the newsletters I get from your company." SZ, Syria
"Thank you for your phone call. I want you to know I appreciated it very much. I'm afraid I must have sounded very strange on the phone! I was so surprised to hear from you, I found myself a little bit speechless! Of course, I know I should have expected a phone call from you after viewing your website. Now I have proof of your great 'follow-up' with customers! I want you to know that I think the color information and how you present it on your website is the best I've found. I was very impressed with your video clips on the site. Your approach should give people not only a way to understand personal color more fully for themselves, but it should also give people the skills necessary to apply this understanding with great clarity when working with clients. I am happy to have found such a great way to study this subject more in depth at this time in my life and am looking forward to receiving my 'Color Analysis Training in a Box'! Thanks again for the call!" WW, USA
"I can't tell you how excited I am! I couldn't believe my
eyes when I discovered your website and started reading about your
programme. I have been considering becoming a colour
consultant ever since I had my colours done some 15 years
ago, but somehow lacked the courage to move forward with the
idea. I believe that you are the instructor I have been waiting to
meet. I have a few questions for you..." IC, Canada "Thank
you for responding so quickly to my questions. I
have decided to go ahead and purchase your colour
consultant programme. After studying it in depth, I
will launch my new business (probably in the new
year). Thank you also for all the useful advice. I
sincerely hope that down the road I will be able to
attend one of your fashion style courses in person." IC,
Canada
"I've just looked at your Training in a Box offer, it looks really good, and an excellent idea on your part as actually getting the time to come up to you is a problem for me, as well as lots of others." TL, UK
"Watched your intro video today about the course. Very neat. Found myself thinking, 'Gosh, that would have been a better use of my money than the company I trained with!' A colour consultant, UK
"I am very interested in your self study course. It would work well along side my make-up. I will take up the prelaunch offer although I do not expect to be able to start any work on the course till November. I had seen your earlier promotional mail and decided to purchase it. I will be buying the PAL version. I am going to the website to order NOW!" VC, UK
"You have been a great help by e-mail and phone helping me decide how to get started. I have now ordered my Training DVD and start-up kit and can't wait to get going. I look forward to being in touch with you again soon. Thank you." GC, UK
"Many thanks for your e-mail, a refreshing change to the ones I have received from (two other companies)! I totally intend to commit to ongoing training and I will be ordering your 'in a box' package as my staple tool. I have been researching my new venture for some time and I can honestly say that your website and yourself have been more help than any of the 'recommended' companies I have been in touch with. Thank you again and if I can ever be of assistance to you in anyway, please don't hesitate to contact me." EH, UK
"I am very interested in doing your DVD course, but first please could you tell me roughly how much I will need to spend on drapes, etc before I can start up in business." KD, UK. "I just wanted to thank you for your swift and detailed reply. I will be giving this a lot of thought over the weekend." KD, UK
"I am thinking of getting the training course but I would like to know the additional costs of things I would need to set up, i.e. set of tonal/seasonal colour swatches, capes and drapes etc also what is the additional cost of the diploma. The course sounds great hopefully just what I am looking for as I do not wish to be governed by a company but I would like the opportunity to do it myself." LM, UK
"So impressed! After looking at several courses, yours is the most user friendly. I have 2 questions..." SK, Israel
JUST
RECEIVED THE COURSE
The parcel containing your DVD training course has arrived!
"I have received the box and have already gone completely through it. I've already got a couple of people interested in me doing their colours which is great." LOC, Australia "The DVD's are great, congratulations for doing such a good job. It's amazing how everytime I meet someone, I'm thinking about what season etc they are. I've found very few Springs here, mainly Winters and Autumns. I think that's because we have a high Italian and English population." LOC, Australia
"Just to say I am thoroughly enjoying the training DVDs and have learnt so much! I have quite a few questions to ask you, but I will email you at a later date and list them for you." TR, UK
"The first box containing the DVDs and folder of notes has just arrived. Very prompt and efficient. Thank you!" EG, UK "As soon as the DVD package arrived I just had to sit down and watch the first one (luckily it's my day off). Well - so no-one wears green? There was I sitting watching it in green! I had to laugh. And then I laughed even more when you picked up the green drape you didn't like - it was almost the colour of my scarf! It's a good job we're all different! Anyway, thank you very much for a most enjoyable first DVD." EG, UK "I am loving the course and have prospective clients already!" EG, UK
"Enjoying the training and glad I decided on this form of training. Do you have a list of the shop fitters for drape stands that you mention on DVD 6?" EC, UK
"Thanks, have received everything & can't wait to get going! What a great pack! I am so impressed with the presentation of it all & really can't wait to get started on it. I am sure it will keep me enthralled over the next few weeks & I am also sure that you will be hearing from me soon! Your call at the end of June filled me with confidence about what an exciting career this will be! I look forward to speaking with again soon." JC, UK
"Firstly I must thank you for your very unexpected phone call only a couple of hours after ordering your training course, it was nice of you to take time to introduce yourself. " LF, UK
"Firstly I would like to thank you for your phone call the other day. It was wonderful to hear from you and hear your voice. Thank you for offering your continued support. I am actually still shocked that someone like you exists. You should be very proud of yourself and your business." KN, Australia
"I received the Colour course today and am very excited about starting it. I've got a few more clients before my Christmas rush ends - but I'm looking forward to the beginning of a quieter time at the end of the week where I can start watching and I will be taking it all in as if I am actually training with you!" SC, UK
"My parcel has just arrived and I have had a quick peek- it looks fantastic! We have people for dinner and I have no time to study yet, but think I will tell them all to go home early! Thank you so much." CO, UK
"Thank you for sending me the training pack so promptly. I was very impressed by the speed of the delivery. Also thank you for the courtesy call - it was lovely chatting to you. I have no doubt that I will be back in touch soon." HT, UK
"It was very nice meeting you via telephone and I look forward to meeting you in person one day. Thank you so much for contacting me and introducing yourself. Also, thank you so much for checking into the make-up for me and sending the information." DM, USA
"Have received 'the box' - actually it arrived 24 hours after I ordered it online! I've started to read the manual and my head is buzzing already! I'll give some thought to dates re the Ladies' Style course and come back to you." JC, UK "Really enjoying the course so far. The ability to stop and rewind the DVDs and pause to make notes or refer back really works for me." JC, UK
"Just wanted to let you know that I have been thrilled with the DVDs. I have been used to the 80s style colour consultants who I have worked with and have found to be quite intimidating. I love your appraoch and hope to incorporate a lot of your style into what I do. I really like the idea of discovering how people relate to colour and working the consultation around what the customer wants to know and not neccessarily all the facts and do's and don'ts that I have been used to in the past. It was great. I will no doubt be in touch soon." JT, UK
"Thank you for your kind note. I was very impressed with your honesty when talking to you and the fact you didn't give me the hard sell! So nice to be able to make one's own decisions without being pressurised into it. I had a look through the course content on your site and it seemed to cover a wide breadth of subject matter and also offered value for money compared to other training courses such as (another company). I have to admit I haven't had time to look at any of the DVDs but hoping to find some time this weekend! I will be in touch if I have any questions or should I say when I have some questions, as I am a born question asker! Once again, thanks for the offer of help." LE, UK
"Well it's arrived and I have watched first 5 - did I mention I was obsessive? Love your approach regarding getting their feelings about colour. There are lots of interesting and helpful things, Particularly taken with the number of colours each season needs - clearly linked to the personality thing. I laughed out loud when Sue said, "How boring!" about limited colour ranges as exactly that thought was going through my mind. Enjoying the DVDs enormously." VH, UK
"My packages have both arrived safely thank you. Unfortunately I haven't got enough time to look at it today, but I am trying to fit it in around children, jewellery party and feeding everyone as I'm desperate to get started!" GC, UK. " I have spent the weekend listening to your DVDs; they are very helpful." GC, UK
"I have just started my course and am very excited about it. It's very well put together and I hope one day I shall meet you." VC, UK
"Thanks for sending out the training package, I am thoroughly enjoying watching the dvds! I'll be emailing you in a few days' time with questions." SW, UK
"Thank you for your prompt service! I ordered on Thursday afternoon and have received the goods today, Monday morning in Australia. I look forward to opening it up and starting the course." LC, Australia
"I have been watching the DVDs from the Colour Analysis training package - they are very good and clear." AC, UK
"I am really enjoying the training pack." AH, UK
"Just to confirm the colour analysis training pack arrived today - thank you. I had to order it via my works address so my wife doesn't notice. I have bought it as a Christmas present and it's a secret! She will be over the moon Christmas Day!" PA, UK
"(Since buying the package 10 days ago) I've watched the DVDs through three times now and have my first client tomorrow. I am very excited." SO, UK
"Just dropping a line to say thank you. I have received the package on 27 January. I'm enjoying the course. Will let you know of further advancement in the near future. Thank you!" KK, Dubai, UAE. "Thank you very much for a great continuous service before and after the delivery of my DVD-based color analysis training course. I would like to thank you for designing this great course. I certainly found it to be very informative, entertaining and most of all effective in understanding this whole color analysis school of though and how every thing else revolves around it. Your extensive knowledge and experience in this field is obvious." KK, Dubai, UAE
"I went with Colour in a Box because it was so convenient, competitively priced and, most importantly, spoke a lot about actually running a color analysis business."
"I would be happy to recommend your product. I researched a lot of training options and went with Colour in a Box because it was so convenient, competitively priced and most importantly spoke a lot about actually running a color analysis business. The business training was extremely helpful and distinguishes your program from most of the others I've looked at." LT, USA |
GETTING
STARTED
You've completed the course and you're ready to go...
"Hi Kim, I am doing well with the color analysis. Please feel free to pass my email along to the woman in Michigan. I would be happy to recommend your product. I researched a lot of training options and went with Colour in a Box because it was so convenient, competitively priced and most importantly spoke a lot about actually running a color analysis business. The business training was extremely helpful and distinguishes your program from most of the others I've looked at." LT, USA "The good news is that I am doing my first two full-priced color analyses this week. Thus far I've done friends and family. It has been fun. I only wish the makeup line and clothing line you discuss in your DVDs were available in the U.S." LT, USA
"I have a few Q's for you, if you don't mind. I've been designing some leaflets and things to get my business up and running. If you could have a quick look at the attachment and let me know what you think, I would appreciate it, if you have time. I remember from the DVD's that you said you would send Sue some info that she needed and I wondered if you could send me some info on 'Building a Capsule Wardrobe' and other workshops that I can offer? I could do with some help with a structure for the workshops." LP, UK "Thanks for your quick reply and the gold stars - that's made my day, too! I'll have another look on your (resources) website, there's so much on there I must've missed them." LP, UK Today has been a special day - my first colour consultations with two paying customers! On her feedback form the one lady said she found my advice on hair colours particularly valuable, because she could actually see now how the warm tones she had put into her hair were fighting with her cool colouring. She really appreciated the discussion we had on the best colours for her hair. The other lady, a Light Spring, loved the way she now knew her best colours and how to put her clothes together. I am a star! Just wanted to share this bit of joy with you, Kim, because I couldn't have done it without you (so you're a star, too!) and these 'poor darlings' (as you would say) would be none the wiser. They have both shown an interest in makeup on their feedback forms so I hope to get them back for a makeup session at some point. I have another two ladies coming together early November, a mother and daughter, on the same basis. The only thing I am wondering is about the cost, £xx, which I will be charging after Christmas. I know it wouldn't be an obstacle to 'uptown' women, but the average working woman seems to think twice at that price. What are consultants charging for colour analysis these days, Kim?" LP, UK "Thanks so much for your reply, after midnight as well. I do appreciate your time and commitment. The guidelines you have provided me with for identifying my target market are excellent. I will go through it all properly on Monday." LP, UK
"I find your training so interesting and your props are brilliant. I’ve gone through the DVDs. Now I’m just going through the notes and trying to understand how to use the drapes etc.. and will try to test myself on a couple of my friends & family. I just have a couple of questions to ask you though, I probably will e-mail you as I go along, but in the meantime I have these questions.... Really look forward to your responses." AYC, Australia
"I apologise for not thanking you earlier for the speedy dispatch of the Training and Starter Kit. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning from the DVDs and now with a frenetic summer behind me and the three children back to school I am now concentrating on putting the finishing touches to the colour and confidence business plan! Another query would be cost. At this very moment in time, feeling a little anxious, nervous and ignorant is £xx individual session appropriate? As you are aware my background is in Adult Education and my plan is carry out workshops or talks to groups. However the going rate here is £xx per hour rate to work with groups. Would you charge on an individual basis or hourly rate with groups? Any help would be most gratefully appreciated." MC, Scotland "Thanks again for your extremely useful information which I am pondering over as I type." MC, Scotland
"Well I have now watched the 10 DVDs twice and taken notes and am almost ready to get started. I scored 5x a, 4x b, 1x c and 1x d in your quiz, so I guess that gives you a bit of an insight to my personality. Having been through the dvds I do have a few questions for you if that's ok.... Sorry to bombard you with all these questions I'm just determind to get it right so any more hints you can give me to help me to diagnose the correct season I will be very greatful. Many thanks and awaiting eagerly for your reponse." LF, UK
"I had to delay watching my training DVDs for ages for various reasons, but am now working my way through them slowly. I just wanted to let you know that the training is quite honestly the most interesting thing I have ever done. Everything is explained so clearly and I am totally obsessed by it - I spend all day staring at people trying to analyse them. I'm sure that you get positive feedback on a daily basis but I just wanted to let you know how brilliant I think the training is." HT, UK
""I was so excited to receive my packages and after opening them my whole life went into shutdown. Every minute was spent watching the DVDs. I absolutely devoured the training. I watched the complete set and then I watched it again while using the manual and taking notes. I was fascinated with every aspect and even the segments which were only relevant to England were still very interesting. For example I have never heard of swap shops before, your communities, and when you spoke about how many miles the towns were away I felt like I was watching a British TV show especially with your accents. I was sad to see it end! So now I guess it is up to me and my head is spinning. " KN, Australia
"I’m really enjoying it and think it’s great. You’re very watchable! I have great admiration for the way you’ve built the business up and love the fact that we trainees are free to go our own way but still have you there for support and help. So far I’ve been through all the DVDs once and am about to start watching them again. Some of it has clicked and some not yet, but I’ll get there eventually! I’ve just ordered my first lot of supplies. I’m taking it slowly – I want to understand it all first before I test it on some guinea pigs and maybe then go on to one-to-ones. As I work full-time, I see it as a sideline rather than a full-blown business, but who knows! So, onto my actual question... I’m sure I shall have many more questions in due course! Thanks again." JH, UK
"I have watched the entire 10 hour course and I thoroughly enjoyed it and gained the insight into Colour I wanted. I'm still rusty in parts (getting my head around soft & muted proved harder than I had expected!) as I have been entirely seasonal up until now, but everything else with regards to tonal has fallen into place. From my point of view (as a hairdressing consultant) it was amazing to discover how closely the work with hair can be adapted to the seasonal and tonal system. I think even you will be surprised to learn how the traits of hair clients mirror those of colour clients." SC, UK
"I have just completed disc 10! Firstly, great hands and hair you have - quite lovely. Secondly, thank you soooooo much for this superb training - I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am. I watched all ten (very little sleep!) with no note taking or manual as I wanted to get a feel for the training before I start on the details. I will now go through them all again and take notes, but I have already picked up loads of suggestions and ideas. Thank you - the best investment in my business I could have made. Happy New Year, and watch us fly!!" CO, UK
"Thanks Kim, the info that you gave me certainly helped. In the Spring wallet the lighter colours don't do it for me, to say the least, and watching the DVDs helped as I was relieved to know that it's ok that not all of the colors in the wallet are meant to suit you. I'm almost done watching the DVDs; they are very helpful and actually I regret not buying it in the first place. I spent a lot of money on my other course and am bored to tears by it. I'll get back to you with some questions once I finish the last two DVDs." SZ, Syria
"Just thought I would drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the colour DVD training. I learnt lots of new info which is great. I was wondering if it is possible to get a copy of the questions that Sue answered in the color psychology DVD 8 I think about Winter-linked personalities, etc. I find that area fascinating and would be interested in learning more myself. Also any of the other handouts available would be great too. I am putting together all my work and working on marketing, etc. Hope to be able to meet in the New Year for some style training. I have completed some style but you use the terms Classic and Dramatic and I have yet to come across those. I have been using body shapes only but I like how Dramatics, etc. sound." DR, Ireland.
"I've finally finished watching all the DVDs! Got started after the summer holidays when my son went back to school. Very much enjoyed them and feel ready now to start practising but do need a set of drapes and wallets. Could you suggest to me what would be best to start with? I also have a few questions from the DVDs. Here goes..." CR, UK
"Thank you so much for sending the training course so quickly - I'm delighted with the contents. Just wanted to let you "know that I've watched all the DVDs now and think it is all sinking in, but I have a couple of questions..." PG, UK
"It's funny but I had previously never really been interested in ever having any kind of business of my own but learning with your training manual has made me think it is something I could seriously think about. When I had my colours done, I was amazed. It gave me a real buzz and learning from your manual has made me want to be able to let other people get that buzz as well. It has definitely broadened my outlook. I have started to consider what would be involved if I decided to set up a little business part time. Well I just thought I would let you know where I was up to. I am looking forward to the new web site you mentioned in your email this week, particularly the info about the business side of things. I will be in touch when I have had a few more clients and will probably have loads of question by then." AA, UK
"Have now finished the DVDs. Very useful. I love the pragmatic approach. I do remember well being completely swamped with drapes by the (another company) lady! I did laugh. Lots of your observations really coincided with my experience." VH, UK
"I did your colour analysis course this year. I really loved it. My boyfriend bought me your DVDs as a Christmas present, probably one of the best Christmast presents that he has given me!!!! I studied fashion for years in London and then decided to do more courses. I just opened a business here in the island. I already have your drapes and fans, but I want to order the men's fans and probably a second set of drapes. Will keep in contact. Thanks for the wonderful course. I love colour!!" NSF, Spain
"Thanks so much for sorting out the discount, and so quickly too! I am really looking forward to receiving my drapes. I can't wait to start analyzing my friends and family. Please let Kim know that I think the course is brilliant. I have been going over it again after my initial fervour a month ago, and am finding it to be even better value than I originally thought! There is tons of really useful information. Thanks once again for your prompt and efficient service," SW, UK

"I was so excited that you said I'm a bright winter. When I had my colours done, I was told winter, but since starting the training I was tending to lean in the bright direction. Thanks so much for the brilliant advice about the bright pink lipsticks - I'm just about to look at the JFC ones! I also loved what you had to say about the dress. I was thinking that I'd only be able to wear it at weddings, but the chunky, black necklace idea would enable me to play around with it for other smart occasions.... genius! Thanks again for everything from inspiration to practical advice." HT, UK
"Thanks very much for your call. Your advice in the email is much appreciated – it certainly set my mind focusing on some ideas for the future." VC, UK
"Last night I did a tonal taster with about 60 women and it went fantastic. I made ten appointments and lots of interest was shown in similar future events. Thanks for the inspiration." JT, UK
"Thank you soooooo much for this superb training - I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am."
"I was thinking last night about how much the colour course has helped me, even though I have been an image consultant on and off for so long. I find I am constantly using little snippets from the course. For example, a client yesterday was analysed as a soft summer, and we were talking about whether she was a blue or a pink lady - she identified absolutely with being a blue summer, so her wardrobe planning has been made even more simple! Also, I think the hair course is a stunning innovation. I would love to come but can't make any of the dates so far. PLEEEEESe do another one so I can come!!"
"Am doing Colour for a new client on Tuesday and am trying your way of using the drapes - will let you know how it works for me. Ps - rather sad - I was at a party last night where there was barn dancing. Everyone was lined up to dance, I was sitting that one out with my son. Instead of watching the dancing, I was analysing all the figure shapes and looking at all the saggy trousers!! No hope for me...." Colleen Oakley, UK Colour Connexion |
"Can you just clarify the difference between a warm autumn and a deep one? There are many women here with dark brown hair here and I get confused. I will of course use the drapes but I'm wondering in those cases which method is best to follow?" SZ, Syria "Thanks, yes it all helped a lot. I guess with practice it will get better. The reason why I'm trying to figure it all out at this point is because my first client was my friend so I had time to prepare and work her all out before I met up with her. This new lady I have never met so I'm just making sure I've got it all covered. The key is what you said, to be relaxed and make it fun and give the person confidence in what she looks good in. That's what I plan to do. I'm making some client handouts and printing some info from your downloads so I'll have the back-up once I'm there." SZ, Syria
"Thanks for your long and detailed reply. You must spend ages on the PC answering questions! By the way, I’m loving learning about all this!" JH, UK "Wow, what a lovely long answer! Thank you for spending so much time thinking and writing! I’m fascinated by your thought processes, including things I wouldn’t have even expected to be in the equation, but obviously such things come with experience, eg, skin texture etc. I am delighted with your conclusion, because I had me as a Summer too!" JH, UK "I’ve now practised on a few friends and am feeling more confident. Only a couple of them have been straightforward which is probably good in a perverse sort of way, although a couple of times I thought I wouldn’t get there! I did in the end though. Overall, I’m really enjoying this journey, and it’s great to have you at the end of the email! Thanks again." JH, UK
"I bet you were starting to wonder if you'd ever hear from me again! I bought your Training in a Box way back in August 2007. I've watched all the DVDs, most of them twice, or even three times over, but never managed to get round to actually getting started. (I am also doing a counselling course which is quite demanding.) I'm a good friend of JG who trained with you and I've sat in on a couple of sessions with ladies who have been mutual friends of ours and were happy for me to be there. I also did a lady under J's supervision. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I finally got going myself. This week I've had two clients of my own, in my own home and both have been very pleased with the results." GM, UK
"Thank you sooo much for your advice, I went with it and actually was surprised how everything just flowed out of my mouth once I opened it. I did the draping and she definitely looked better in more of the warmer ones so we declared her an Autumn, a deep warm one!" SZ, Syria
"Have now watched all DVDs and ready to start practising - breathe! - hence looking to place an order for drapes and wallets. A couple of questions to help me decide..." JC, UK
"Thanks for taking so much time with the answers – And you thought your email was long, hope you don’t mind this tome! It is taking a lot of deep thought for me to decide how I am going to proceed. I hope you don’t mind me writing again in such detail – I want to do this professionally and provide a service that’s better than the rest. This is why I came to you – I didn’t want to be turned into just another franchisee." PG, UK "Thanks for agreeing to take a look at the attached photos. I’m really enjoying my training, Kim. Thank you for all your time and guidance." PG, UK "Here are some more photos. Please would you give me your opinion? Thanks so much for this feedback. You have reassured me that I’m getting the hang of this now. I really appreciate all of your help and advice, Kim and I’m so glad I’m training with you. Cheers! To your very good health!" PG, UK "Please can you help me? I am running a get together for about 15-20 ladies tomorrow night and plan to do my first Tonal Taster with them. I have the benefit of knowing most of them anyway and having already analysed a few, who are coming along to support me (as well as have a glass or two!). I wanted to clarify how I would group these people, who to my mind are not quite so straight forward. If you would be good enough to help me I’d feel far more confident." PG, UK "Just picking up on your advice below. Please would you confirm? Based on what I’ve told you, what do you think? How shall I remedy the situation if needs be? Thanks for that, it’s all sinking in." PG, UK "Thank you for your guidance with this one. Here’s how we got on... I found your advice re: soft vs bright very helpful and would say that when it came to it, she wasn’t strongly one way or the other. I really value your input and will remember your points on Bright v Soft-Muted. Thank you." PG, UK
"Thanks very much for the reply Kim - I will read and digest it and work from there - feel as though I'm fudging in the dark at the moment but sure it'll fall into place if I give it time - I know realistically it's not going to happen overnight...." SK, UK
"I have been chipping away at getting together all my props each week. I have thoroughly enjoyed sourcing everything and compiling new handouts from the samples you supplied." AA, UK
"I am constantly referring back to the DVDs for any questions but I believe that I have to personally ask you some of them. So here I go….. I would like to ask you if I am I to have a free color analysis from you? Because clearly the lady in the DVD had one done, ha, ha, ha ! I can email you pictures of my natural dark brown hair coloring and how it looks now so you can give me some valuable advice." KK, Dubai, UAE. "Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am glad to have you helping out with my personal color analysis. I’m attaching my old and most recent pictures with this email. Please have a look and give me your honest opinion." KK, Dubai, UAE "Thank you very much for your email. I really appreciate your honest advice and truly believe that no one else could have given me better professional guidance." KK, Dubai, UAE
"I have been enjoying your responses and I found the course very illuminating. My earlier training was a tonal system and I found it a bit confusing as I was rather locked into the seasons. It makes much more sense to me now and also helps explain why I never could decide about my friend who is primarily soft but somehow not a Summer and not quite warm enough for Autumn - though I think she is heading that way. I would definitely give her a tonal wallet now. What I did then was sort out colours that suited her rather than putting her into a season. Don't feel so bad about it now." VH, UK "Thanks so much for this feedback. It is very reassuring as I do like strong, bright contrast and so worried slightly about single tone dressing, as recommended for softs. I will follow my instincts then!" VH, UK
"I kindly ask you to take a look at the client personal file I have created. I would like your feedback on its technical content. I would like to send you pictures of models that I will be doing a colour analysis on, as you had once suggested. I thank you for your input. Looking forward to hearing from you soon." MC, Switzerland.
"I have spent the weekend listening to your DVDs. They are very helpful, but I could do with help sorting out my own colours, I'm not sure if my problem is just looking at myself in the mirror, I can see how the colours work, but not well on my own skin. What a mess my wardrobe looks like a paint chart. Can you help with this over a distance!! I'm not going to get anywhere if I don't get my own colours right." GC, UK "Can you look at the photos attached and check I did it right! I actually found it quite fun and easy doing someone else! I was worried I wouldn't be able to see it." GC, UK
"I purchased your wonderful Colour Analysis course five months ago. I plan to start my own business and would like to be able to purchase the drapes, etc. from your company." SH, UK
"Thanks for that info. which is really helpful. You're right, I didn't mess about, I got straight on with the course as I'm fortunate to have time on my hands at the moment. I will be emailing you with quite a few questions over the coming weeks, but my list is down two flights of stairs so I am just taking this opportunity to thank you for your quick reply. It's much appreciated. (You know what it's like when you just want to crack on with it!) I'll be able to order my drapes now, so thanks for that. By the way, I think the online distribution method for the handouts sounds great!" SW, UK "Hi Kim, that's great. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'm a bit confused about something else as well, Kim.... Thanks for the great service." SW, UK "I watched your DVDs and studied your course, and I must admit, It seemed too simple! So I started doing another course and am mainly left wondering if the colours are the same in both courses? in a previous newsletter you mentioned that two other companies' methods were different, and that you followed the latter one. What is the difference, if you don't mind?" SW, UK "Thanks so much for taking the time out to send such a lengthy reply. It's very reassuring to know that so many colour companies use the wallets. I love your video about how to use the wallets." SW, UK
"I have nearly completed your Independent Training Course which I have found very helpful and comprehensive. I also have 2 questions on colour analysis and I would appreciate your advice on this." TC, UK
Wonder if you can help me? I've really enjoyed the DVD training - although I do wish I'd been able to meet you properly. I'm having a few problems with eye colour and wondered if you had a chart you used or could point me in the right direction?" LD, UK
"Hi Kim, found the feedback really good, interesting to read. It is interesting what a simple method it actually is to working out the colours. Really enjoyed doing it, lots of fun. What is the best way of doing photos for e.g. a brochure or pictures for wall? Do you recommend putting colours from the range all together or picking 2 or 3 colours and just laying them over the client's shoulder? I would like to do a display board to show some before, afters and correct colours." AC, UK
"Just to say a huge thank you for the great course, and being at the end of the phone! I feel I have finally found my calling. Warmest regards." SO, UK
