I'm here to help you through life's changes using colour analysis and personal style to feel empowered, confident and visible at any age. I'm an experienced award winning stylist for Harrogate, Wetherby, North Leeds and Otley.. Based in Harrogate…
I started my House of Colour journey over 35 years ago; I'm not exaggerating when I say Colour Analysis changed my life! The transformation in my appearance, along with the understanding of what truly worked for me, gave me a huge confidence boost. I got every job that I went after as I was dressing my authentic self. It inspired me to train as an image consultant in 2000 to help others experience that same amazing feeling!
Personal packaging is my passion. I believe the way we present ourselves makes a huge impact, expecially in today's world where first impressions are often based on appearance. I've had the pleasure of helping hundreds of clients make changes to their look, and it's been amazing to see them exceed their own expectations in all areas of life. I've worked with clients from all walks of life and even had the opportunity to travel internationally to work with clients. It's incredibly rewarding to be part of their transformation journeys!
By showing you how to dress your AUTHENTIC self I can, put simply, help you to change your life! Clients tell me this all the time - male and female. You'll leave my studio feeling excited, energised, and inspired after learning which colours and styles make you look younger, more yourself, and more stylish. The biggest gift I can give you is the confidence to be your unique self. When you learn to put together outfits that truly suit WHO you ARE, you'll glow with the knowledge that you always look your best, whether it's for a date, party, business meeting, or job interview.
A wise purchase starts with knowing what works for you. The investment in your personal style can lead to significant returns in both your personal and professional life. Clients have seen promotions, salary increases, and a boost in self-confidence after completing the course.
Using House of Colour in a business setting can indeed provide valuable benefits. When employees feel confident about their appearance, it boosts not only their personal self-esteem but also their professional presence, helping to build credibility and trust. Offering personal development training that includes colour analysis and style guidance can empower staff to project a polished image that aligns with your company brand. This unique angle on employee training adds a modern touch to conventional business development and staff retention programs.

Thanks for helping with my wardrobe I now know everything goes together. I'm confident in what I wear without getting stressed in a morning. My Make-up was also a revelation. I've shied away from wearing colour around my eyes in recent years, simply because I wasn't sure how to apply it. I didn't want to end up looking like some 80's reject. You showed me how to enhance my look using the right shades in the right places and to experiment with new colours - definately worth while sessions.

Elaine is an expert, Having your colours done is the most amazing experience.
The best I can say is that the next day when I had got ready to go out and went to say goodbye to my husband, he said: I think this may be the first time in your life you have gone into a room and said "ta-da!"
Getting colours right is not only about the way you look, it is also very much about the way you feel about the way you look.
I can heartily recommend referring yourself and everyone you know to Elaine - just do it now!

Elaine really made me think hard about who I was and how I needed to ensure the way I dressed would reflect it.
After completing the course Elaine I went on my first shopping trip. I hate shopping! but shopping with Elaine is a joy to behold. She saves me hours and I'm sure hundreds of pounds by making sure I only try and buy clothes the right shape and colour for me. I just open my wardrobe and I know whatever I choose will look and feel great!
I'm sure you've heard 'dress for the job you want', well Elaine certainly helped me to do this and my new wardrobe at work made clients, colleagues and managers alike notice me for all the right reasons. This teamed with my new found confidence (and a bit of hard work), has over the last 3 years helped my career to grow from strength to strength. I have recently landed a promotion giving me a 40% salary increase and putting me face to face with some of my companies' biggest clients.
I can't thank Elaine enough and will continue to use and recommend her services.

My sister and I, as women of a certain age, were looking for guidance on style, colour and makeup and had booked Elaine with high expectations. We were not disappointed.
Our morning was spent looking at our own best colours and makeup styles - Elaine really knew her subject and helped us expertly on our style journey.
We were both really surprised at simple changes that were transformational. We then looked at our own wardrobes that we had brought along. Elaine again demonstrated her expert eye, gently pointing out where we could improve and change our styles - a truly eye opening experience.....
...the whole experience was worthwhile as I feel far more comfortable and confident in my new look. I can highly recommend spending the day with Elaine for a truly transformational result!

I couldn't recommend Elaine enough, I had my colours and style done a few years ago and it had made me more comfortable in my own skin, more confident to be my authentic self and not just me in my style. Once you look and feel like you, the difference in how you naturally present yourself opens doors for opportunities both personally and professionally.

Elaine is absolutely great and a master of her trade! I’d previously had my colours and a style analysis with Elaine but, having recently retired, I’d lost my way a bit in defining a new look. One afternoon’s shopping with Elaine was a revelation. She’s hugely experienced, great fun to be with and, in just two hours, she found me a lovely capsule wardrobe which covers almost every eventuality. She’s never pushy, but is gently encouraging (and honest!) as you try out new looks. Spending time with Elaine to get the right wardrobe is an investment - and I’d recommend her to anyone.’
