Reviews from my truly incredible clients
Thank you for trusting me with your color journey ❤

From Adora:
“Kate is COMPLETELY dedicated to her craft, and just as dedicated to training and educating her clients on the theories and practicalities of color analysis. The experience was a real pleasure and I walked away equipped with knowledge of theory but also practical tools and reference information to find what works most harmoniously for me.
What I learned also validated my pattern of preferences so now in addition to saying “I really like that color/palette/pattern” but also have the words and knowledge to say why! Kate shared a lot of great info that will stay with me, for the better. She is very articulate, kind, and intentional with her communication - I appreciate that so much! Highly recommended.”

From Nora:
“I had an incredible experience with Kate for my color analysis session. Kate went above and beyond in every way. Her beautiful, light-filled space set the perfect atmosphere, and she was incredibly thorough and personable throughout the entire session.
I opted for the makeup & hair add-on and Kate took all the time needed to ensure I got the most out of the experience. Kate was extremely patient and explained every step of the process. She answered all my questions and helped me understand how color theory works, which was truly enlightening.
Kate’s guidance helped me break free from old assumptions about colors I thought I couldn’t wear, like red. Now, I’m confidently wearing bright reds and building a capsule wardrobe that truly reflects my best self. Shopping for clothes and makeup has become a joy, and I feel so much more confident and empowered.
Overall, Kate’s dedication and expertise made this a transformative experience. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

From Ilar:
“Kate is such a gentle, sweet soul who makes you feel amazing just for being you! Honestly, when she told me I needed to have a fresh face for the color matching, I was a bit nervous! I always wear makeup. But she made me feel so confident and really hyped me up. Learning that I am a “True Bright” (Bright Spring/Bright Winter) was awesome because I do tend to go for brighter and vibrant colors - especially a nice BOLD lipstick! You will be surprised by what you learn about what suits you and what tends to wash you out. And the process as a whole is actually quite relaxing and soothing. I’m so glad to have participated in this experience and I’m already planning on booking Kate for my future bachelorette party or bridal shower. She has a knack for this and I couldn’t recommend her more! Kate is a human embodiment of a safe space! You will not be disappointed. 10/10!”

From Maria:
“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Kate is!
After the past few years of predominantly wearing groutfits day in and day out, I booked a one-on-one session with Kate to help me re-evaluate my wardrobe and make more informed decisions when shopping.
Kate has helped me take out the guess work by understanding what works best for me. I save so much time now when getting dressed, and honestly I'm going to save so much money in the long run when purchasing new clothing items since I no longer have to second guess my choices. I came into my session hoping to learn how to shop like a proper adult and walked away with so much more knowledge than I ever expected. I cannot wait to go back and explore with her!”

From Jennifer:
“Kate is absolutely incredible! From the moment you meet her, you can feel her warmth and passion for what she does. She has a unique ability to make learning about color both accessible and exciting. Her tutelage is unparalleled—she doesn’t just give you the answers; she equips you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed color choices on your own. Kate truly embodies the philosophy of 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.' She is an exceptional teacher who genuinely invests in her clients, ensuring they walk away empowered, educated, and inspired. If you’re looking for the best guide in the world of color, look no further—Kate is the one!”

From Tito:
“Did a group color analysis with my best friend and the two of us had such a great time with Kate. She was so friendly and inviting and was very knowledgeable about color analysis.
She seemed very in tune with trends and how they affect beauty standards as well as very patient in answering our questions.
She used very relatable examples and metaphors in order for us to understand certain concepts that could have been a little difficult for us to grasp had she not relayed the information in a very simple streamlined manner.
I would refer her to anyone in a heartbeat.
She also went out of her way to explain our season/sub seasons so we know what to look for and how they complement ourselves. Finally because I was a neutral skin tone she made it a point to customize my color palette in order for me to be better equipped. Love her! She was really great!”
-
From Alicia:
“Kate is warm and thorough, making sure to train your eye on colors best for you. She gives customized information, urges you to have fun and flexibility around your season. Gives tips on how to balance an outfit, as well as makeup. My favorite part was adding on the extended draping for more specific details related to my sub-season. I am so happy I did the hair and makeup session as well, a must since her background for color analysis comes from her time in the hair/makeup industry. Worth the investment!”
-
From Ashley:
“Kate was wonderful to work with! She really walks you through the process of color analysis and lets you see the colors first before telling you her thoughts, so it is super empowering. I feel so much more confident while shopping and trying new makeup shades.
Kate herself is a delight! My session flew by. Her expertise was so much more helpful than any online tool/video I used. I drove 3 hours for my session, and it was well worth my time.”
-
From Ayesha:
“Had such a great color analysis with Kate! I wish I had done this years earlier, I feel so much more confident shopping for clothes now.
I really appreciate how Kate took time to explain how color analysis works and I should be using it in my day to day.
I will probably be back at another time to do the makeup add on because I found the whole experience so helpful. Thanks Kate!!”
-
From Susie:
“Kate is fantastic. I had the pleasure of doing a one-on-one color analysis with her in her lovely studio, and found that there was so much I didn't know, despite having watched some videos on the subject before.
It was so fascinating to see in real time how different colors in the various seasons reacted to my skin and face, and the time really flew by while I was there. I walked away from this session feeling way more confident knowing what compliments me and what will help me look and feel my best.
What I loved is that she encouraged me to train my own eyes while I was there, and it was just enough handholding for someone like me! Perfect amount of guidance, but she also didn't spoonfeed me everything. :) Soon enough I could see what she was seeing and why.
The applications are endless, and I can't wait to bring my sister and friends for their own session!”
-
From Jenny:
“I suggested this to my partner on a whim as a Christmas present idea, and it turned out to have been the perfect gift - fun, informative, eye opening, and useful forever! Even though Kate was booked up for the following couple of months, I opted to book an appointment with her after seeing all the positivity on her website and in her clients’ reviews, and it was definitely worth the wait. Kate is such a gem: super kind and patient, and you can tell that she’s put a lot of thought and her values into her work. She really took the time to train my eye and help me see why my color season is what it is. I’d largely given up on trying to do anything new or fun with makeup/fashion when it felt like so many colors and products weren’t working for my features. I left feeling invigorated and excited to put the new tools and knowledge I have into practice. If you need a gift idea or are looking to learn something new about yourself, I definitely recommend giving this a try. Thank you, Kate - what you’re doing definitely adds light to the world. :)”

From Avery:
“Kate was amazing! I saw Kate on Instagram and thought it was a great treat while we were in San Francisco. She spent the time to not only do the color analysis process, but also teaching the topics so I could equip myself with the knowledge next time I'm shopping.
It's been several months since the session, and I have found so many uses of the learnings and takeaways. Absolutely recommend!”
-
From Lori:
“Really enjoyed my color session with Kate. She is fun and personable and I learned a lot about color theory and how to evaluate colors for maximum flattery, rather than just choosing colors I find appealing. I trust her in-person analysis more than the online apps. I will carry my palette with me when shopping for my best colors. Definitely recommend, she is very busy so sign up as soon as the email notice comes out, or get on the waiting list.”
-
From Hailey:
“Some friends and I did a party package and had such a great time! Kate is warm, knowledgeable, and creates a fun, playful, affirming space for clients to explore confidence and self expression through color! She provides excellent materials for understanding and implementing color analysis that also feels accessible regardless of how much (or little) you already know about color theory. If you're in the Bay Area and looking to explore personal color analysis that encourages your unique self expression instead of boxing you in based on misconceptions and misapplications, Kate is your girl!”
-
From Chandra:
“My session with Kate was the highlight of my week! She is delightful, personable, and really knows her stuff. I learned so much and left feeling like I now know what to look for when identifying the best colors for me. I did the additional draping add on which was well worth it. It made me happy to see all the color options I have to choose from and confident after seeing how those colors bring out the best in my features. Look out closet!!”
-
From Nichelle:
“Getting my color analysis with Kate was so fun and educational at the same time. Not only did she show me what season I am through draping, but she trained my eye to see which colors enhance as opposed to washing me out. If you seriously want to understand what colors look best on you, stop taking those online quizzes and instead get a professional analysis done. And if you are in the Bay Area don’t hesitate to setup an appointment with Kate. 100% worth every penny!”
-
From Georgia:
“I was part of a group session with Kate and it was fantastic! Kate is the perfect guide into discovering your "true colors", whether you already know quite a bit or are learning about your colors for the first time. She's warm, extremely knowledgable, patient, and professional. I went into the time thinking I already knew my colors, but with Kate's help, I quickly realized that I was a different type! Kate made the whole process interesting, fun, and dynamic. Highly recommend!”
-
From Ginger:
“I took my partner with me and we both got our color analysis done. Kate does a great job of talking you through the process and logic behind color analysis and is clearly very passionate about what she does! I left feeling confident in my season (I ended up being a little bit of two sub seasons), but also feeling confident in understanding ways that I can step out of my season if I want to. Hopefully I can come back for some add on services in the future :-)”
-
From Ellen:
“We had such an amazing experience with Kate! She was so knowledgeable about the color analysis and made you feel so comfortable during the whole process. I love how she took the time to make sure we had every detail we wanted for our personal analysis. She made the experience so fun and you could tell she was just as invested in our results as we were which was so sweet. If you're looking to do a color analysis in the Bay Area Kate is your girl!! You won't regret it.”
-
From Danielle:
“My friend and I had a session with Kate to have our colors done and she was amazing!! It has been my dream for years to have my colors done and she exceeded all my expectations and hopes. She spent so much time with us explaining everything and answering our questions. She is a joy to be around and extremely knowledgeable. Post session she has been so sweet and helpful with answering follow up questions we have. I would highly recommend scheduling a session with Kate if you walk a color analysis! She will not disappoint. Thanks again Kate!!”
-
From Drea:
“Kate lights up when she does color analysis consultations. She makes you feel completely at ease as she discusses color theory/seasons. She allows her clients to see for themselves how different colors change various features of their face. When I wear clothes in my color season I look vibrant and alive. When I wear colors outside of my season I can see clearly how washed out I look. That’s another area Kate emphasizes, education. Kate takes time to thoroughly explain the process and how you can carry out the education in your personal style. A color analysis consultation would be such a fun gift! I now think about my color season often. Thank you Kate!”
-
From Christy:
“Kate was amazing! I learned so much in the 2-1/2 hours I was with her. She is very knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for color theory. She totally knows her stuff! The analysis was worth every penny and the add-on makeup and hair consultation was very helpful! I have been working on cleaning up my wardrobe and makeup collection this past week. She gave me great tips on making what I already have work with my newly discovered best color options. I highly recommend!!”
-
From Sarah:
“Kate is absolutely phenomenal. She is a true expert and provided a really run and authentic experience to finding my colors.
She provided clear direction, education without rigid rules. I walked away feeling so confident and excited to implement all the fun tips and tricks she gave me. 10 out of 10!”
-
From Hannah:
“As someone who had never had a color analysis done before, I wasn’t sure what I was in for, but Kate made this experience far better than I could have hoped. Her knowledge shines through while being friendly and making sure you feel comfortable. I loved how she gave me the opportunity to learn how certain colors have different effects on my skin tone and how she took ample time to explain the background behind the process. I had so much fun with her and loved discovering my color palette! I would recommend her to anyone looking to uncover how color can bring out the best in us, inside and out 🌈💕✨”
-
From Victoria:
“Colors with Kate has been absolutely life changing—knowing your colors makes putting together outfits so much easier and helps you curate a more intentional + minimalist wardrobe. Kate is so passionate, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with—I’m so thankful I got to experience her magic! Could not recommend her enough! :)”
-
From Gary:
“I had no idea what a color analysis was until Kate shared it with me. Her method examined the hue, value, and chroma of the coloring in my skin, eyes, and hair. Then, it helped me identify my seasonal color palette, and how it related to my features. It was fun, informative, and helpful. I would highly recommend Kate and her analysis to anyone interested in having a better understanding how color can enhance their life.”
-
From David:
“I had a blast and learned so much! Kate explains things very thoughtfully and with analogies that anyone can understand. (I had zero prior knowledge.) She has a kind and gentle way of boosting your confidence throughout the process. Very positive experience. Everyone should try this!”
-
From Tori:
“I had a wonderful experience with Kate! She was knowledgeable of the process and took her time to explain and hold space for me to ask lots of questions and share an opinion! Really appreciated her service and would highly recommend for anyone looking to try it out.”
-
From Sunny June:
“This is a great place to get your color analysis! Kate is super nice and really guides you through the confusing parts of color analysis. When you’re going through the draping process, it becomes very clear whether you’re cool/warm, soft/bright, and light/dark. I highly recommend going to this place for color analysis!”
-
From Rebecca:
“We LOVED our time with Kate. She is skilled, kind, and an excellent communicator. She made us all feel welcome and is super well set up to do everything! Can’t recommend enough!”
