Why Ask Your Client to Arrive Without Her Make-up?
Advanced Colour Analysis Video Tip #3
The service we offer is supposedly to help our colour analysis clients look and feel so much better about themselves. So I have never understood why you would ask you client to arrive without her make-up.
- If I telephoned you for a potential colour analysis consultation and you told me to arrive without my make-up, I’d put the phone down on you. It’s a perfectly hideous suggestion. There’s no way I’d walk through the streets without my make-up; it’s part of my look, it’s my armour and it gives me confidence.
Colour clients arrive at your door apprehensive enough without you asking them to do this. We should be making our clients feel fabulous from start to finish.
I suggest that you ask your colour analysis clients to turn up as though they’d dressed to have lunch with a friend, full make-up and all. Then you can see what they currently wear; this immediately gives you lots of revealing information about your client which will, amazingly, help you to help her.
Bear in mind that if you need to remove a client’s make-up to do your colour analysis, then you’ll need to allow time in the session to do this AND to allow more time for her to put her armour back on before she leaves.
Because there’s no way I’d leave your studio looking anything less than absolutely gorgeous. Isn’t that what we’re supposed to be doing for our colour analysis clients?
