If you’re thinking of becoming a Personal Colour consultant the key question to ask yourself is “Which system do I want to learn?”
The two main systems in personal colour analysis are tonal and seasonal. Although, in our experience your clients won’t care which system you use. They will just want to know their best colours…that they can easily understand and remember.
As a personal colour consultant with 20 years experience and a trainer for the last 15 years, starting with a 4-seasons system is the real key to success with personal colour analysis.
Here are the key reasons why you should start with the 4-seasons colour analysis system:
- Simplicity: The 4-seasons system is straightforward and easy to grasp, making it an ideal entry point for you as a new consultant. It simplifies colour analysis into four clear categories, avoiding the overwhelm of more complex systems.
- Strong Foundation: Starting with the basics of colour theory helps build a solid understanding of how colours interact with different skin tones, hair, and eyes. Mastery of the 4-season method allows for a deeper knowledge base before advancing to more complex systems.
- Improved Confidence: The simplicity of the system will help you as a consultant feel more confident in your recommendations. This confidence translates into better client interactions and more successful consultations.
- Reliable Results: The 4-seasons system consistently delivers accurate, easy-to-understand results for your clients. It’s effective in identifying flattering colour palettes that boost client satisfaction without confusion or second-guessing.
- Gradual Skill Development: Starting with the 4-seasons method will allow you to gradually expand your skills. As confidence and experience grow, you can transition to more complex systems, like 12-season analysis, at your own pace.
- Client-Centred: Clients are more likely to appreciate and understand the results from a simpler system. The 4-season approach gives clear and actionable advice, helping clients feel confident in choosing colours that suit them.
To sum up:
The simplified approach of the 4-seasons helps build a strong foundation in colour theory, which will boost your confidence, and deliver reliable results for your clients. Mastering the basics first ensures you can avoid costly mistakes, gain a deeper understanding of colour, and gradually expand your expertise over time.
The 4-season method is the perfect starting point for new consultants and it will set you on the path and is the KEY to a successful, thriving career.
And when you’re ready you can learn more about the 12-seasons subsystem or even take your colour business online.
