Testimonials

“Nicole Kaczmarek was amazing to work with! I enjoyed my color consultation immensely. She was so friendly, professional and made me feel very comfortable during my consultation. Learning what colors suit me best was fascinating and has changed the way I shop and dress myself - for the better! Highly recommend getting your colors done with Nicole.”

“My experience with House of Colour Ballard was incredible. Nicole was such a joy to spend time with. She is knowledgeable and her expertise is unmatched. I left my color analysis appointment with more information than I even imagined. This process was life changing for me. After becoming a mom I was tending to reach towards more and more black in my closet and was feeling very “blah” when getting dressed. My husband gifted me the color analysis for my birthday and I found out I was a bright “spring”. I have started to overhaul my closet and only adding bright spring colors with my color wallet to match the colors seamlessly. I have never felt more confident in my own skin. I feel like I am wearing my clothes, instead of them wearing me. I feel like my skin tone looks airbrushed and flawless, and getting dressed is so easy when all of the colors in your closet go together. As part of the color analysis Nicole also helped me to find the perfect lipstick and foundation colors. I’ve never been a lipstick person prior to this appointment and now I don’t even want to leave the house without my pop of color to complete my look. I highly recommend Nicole at House of Colour Ballard, you feel like you’re spending time with a close friend. Book your appointment today, your life will be transformed with color!”

“Everyone should do this! Nicole is so welcoming and fun to spend time with. Sitting in the color chair, you feel so pampered and special. Her studio is delightful and clean; I felt very safe with all her COVID precautions in place. I got to go with my best friend (yay vaccines!) and I know the bar is low after this past year, but seriously the best time I've had in 12 months. We both learned so much about color science and how to find our best colors. I HIGHLY recommend doing this with a friend. It is so cool to do it yourself and then get to watch it on someone else. Seeing someone light up and just become airbrushed in their best colors is like a freaking magic trick. I think this would be a fabulous mother's day gift to take your mom or if you have a young daughter (or son!) such a fun activity to do together. I have never found a red lipstick that looked good on me...until Nicole gave me mine! Wore it on Easter and got a million compliments. Choosing colors in makeup and clothing is so easy now. I am very indecisive and would be hemming and hawing over which color--not anymore! I've been having a blast putting outfits together since I got my colors done, and can already see how much easier this will make shopping. I can't recommend this highly enough and will be booking my styling appointment as soon as she's ready! DO IT!!!!”

“My wife was scheduled for a Color appointment when I asked if this was also for men. Once confirmed, we scheduled the appointment together. I was amazed. When I had the summer cool colors draped over my shoulder the shadows & blotches disappeared from my skin & my eyes and hair color came alive. Definitely made me look younger & healthier. It was incredible.”

“I had such an incredible experience at my recent color analysis appointment with Nicole! It was awesome to find out which tone and season I am, learn my WOW colors, and get resources to support me with transforming my closet and makeup to enhance how I feel daily. It was such a transformative process to literally see the difference between a variety of colors and shades on me. Nicole is not only professional and the sweetest, but she is super informative about the science behind color analysis. I learned a ton and had such a great time. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Nicole!”

“Nicole made me feel so comfortable - and safe during Covid - during my color analysis. Her studio is bright and welcoming and she immediately put me at ease from the outset. As another reviewer mentioned, I wasn't prepared to learn so much about color science and how the right colors can transform your whole look! We went through all of the 4 color seasons before the draping process so I could understand what to look for during the appointment. It was immediately clear what colors worked for me and which colors simply didn't. I was shocked to learn that the colors I was confident would be my season just didn't work best for me! When I showed my husband the pictures between the warm vs cool colors against my skin - he was sure that I had added makeup and gone into different light when I was wearing the "right" colors! Once you see the right colors next to your skin, you can't unsee it! I can honestly say that this appointment has been one of the most helpful experiences I've had. Now I have more confidence knowing what colors work for me instead of going along with whatever trends tell me are "in style". After seeing some photos of my appointment, 2 of my friends have booked their color analysis appointments too! It really is so transformative.

I've already booked my style analysis appointment with Nicole so I can put it all together - I can't wait!”

“Who knew I was doing it wrong for so long??!! I enjoyed my analysis so much and enjoyed experiencing it with my best friend even more as watching someone draped in colors was like watching a magic show- you could really see the change between the right and wrong colors. I was amazed and so impressed with Nicole's knowledge. I left with a new confidence and excited to rid my closet of colors that I now know are not right for me. My only regret is not doing this sooner- women, men, children book your appointment now- and do it with a friend!”
