Jennie Mackinder
My name is Jennie Mackinder, I had my colours done in 2007 and could not believe what a liberating experience it was for me. Not only was my wardrobe full of the wrong colours, that on reflection made me look sallow, ill and much older, I also wore clothes that made me look a lot heavier than I actually was. I simply couldn’t believe the transformation and the impact wearing the right colours had on me. Now I feel vibrant, healthy and glowing and wearing the right clothes for my body shape gives me a huge confidence boost and enables me to feel comfortable and happy with my appearance. It has also saved me a lot of money as I now know what I’m looking for and cast aside clothes that I know don’t make the best of me. With a background and passion for Fashion, coupled with 15 years in the communications industry, I really appreciated the impact of image, so training to be an Image consultant seemed a natural step. I also wanted individuals to experience the ‘liberating journey’! After extensive training with House Of Colour and using world renowned theories and proven processes I can identify the colours and styles that make the best of you! I can show you what colours make you look slimmer, more youthful and vibrant, what clothes enhance and suit your clothing personality and what make-up gives you a fresher look to compliment your seasonal colours. Join me on a hugely exciting path of self discovery and find out more about the new you

Testimonials for Jennie Mackinder:
'Having spent a day with Jennie I would encourage anyone to invest the time - it makes such a difference'. Alison B. 

'Thank you so much Jennie for my House of Colour experience -I found it to be totally facinating and it has really opened my eyes to what a difference wearing the right colours can make!  I keep my colour sample wallet in my handbag at all times and am enjoying shopping all the more!  I can't recommend you enough!' Kate W.

I received my colour consultaion as a gift and what a wonderful experience it was. Jennys relaxed nature, yet so perfectly dressed, instantly made me feel at ease and excited to discover my colours. The whole session was an eye opener and I came away with a wealth of knowledge and my own personal colour chart. It has changed the way I look at clothes when I shop and I now really enjoy choosing items which I know will suit. Thank you. Sadie S

Amanda Pennington
Two years ago I needed to get a new job. Having spent many years interviewing other people I knew how vital it was to get the first impression right, so I decided to have my colours analysed. I was totally amazed at the difference it made. In my class I saw a shy, timid mouse transformed into a confident, self-assured businesswoman. For myself I also managed to get a job offer in what was a very difficult job market at the time. However I had been so inspired by the whole experience that I decided to become a House of Colour consultant myself.

Gail Bradstock
I had my colour and personal style done 4 years ago,  and have  since been telling anyone and everyone who cared to listen what a fantastic  experience it was, giving me the confidence to feel great in whatever I wore,  and allowing me to dress  for the real me – not the mum, not the wife, not the business women but me!   After being made redundant from a senior management position, and having always enjoyed working in customer focused roles over the last 20 years, I took the opportunity of becoming an Image Consultant, and can now enjoy taking clients through the House of Colour experience as well.
 
So do you need to find the real you and rediscover your identity? You know what you are, through your life style and work, perhaps wearing a uniform or style of clothing dictated by the various roles you have.  But that’s not the whole you. Do you need to rediscover the “who you are” and feel confident with your look. Through my colour analysis and personal style classes, you will find the right colours and personal style that fits  your body shape and personality to give you confidence to look good all the time.
 
As an experienced business women and mother, I understand budgetary constraints, and can help you achieve your look whatever your budget.

Alison Pritchard
In learning what colours and shapes worked best for me I realised how much it affected my confidence and self esteem and how much easy it was to get dressed in a way that truly reflected who I was. I then made the decision to train and to show others how they can achieve this too. In learning about Colour, Image and Style and Make up, its 3 fun and easy steps to achieving a fuller understanding of both ourselves and the clothes that work for us. Classes add so much to our day to day or working wardrobes. If you are interested in sharing in this journey then do contact me.

Georgia Jago
"Hello, I am Georgia Jago and I am an Image Consultant now working with Alison Riches and her team at House of Colour Reading. I am 21 years old and have been working with my own colours since I was 15. I am currently studying psychology and working with House of Colour part time. I have found that the knowledge and confidence gained by understanding your 'colours' has been extremely beneficial whilst at school for choosing my own non uniform clothes but particularly useful whilst at 6th form college and now University. Therefore, by having an awareness of how having this knowledge can make a difference, I have decided to work with clients within the age ranges of 15 - 25yrs. I can show you how to dress on trend and on a budget. By knowing you are wearing clothes which make you look and feel good saves any worries about what is right or wrong."
