Margaret Harris, Colour Analyst and Personal Stylist for Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and surrounding villages.
Would you love to feel more confident when you’re choosing colours and clothing styles?
I want to help you to achieve just that!
I work with a broad variety of men, women and trans/non binary clients who wish to discover how to dress and learn their own unique looks with confidence, and to love what’s in the wardrobe!
House of Colour is a world leader in helping people to achieve just this. We are well known for our ability to help clients find a level of confidence, which is based on understanding what works for each individual. Age, race, gender, body shape or size should never be an obstacle to learning to love your look! Our colour and style analysis system is practical, logical (also fun!) and you can get going so quickly. Read the testimonials if you have any doubts.
You can choose to start with Colour Analysis or Style Analysis (most people prefer to begin with Colour Analysis) and then we can continue to work together by arranging whatever you feel is needed next. Shopping trips (in person or online), wardrobe edits, or further sessions such as advanced colour or styling sessions. Is your wardrobe uninspiring? I can help you! Many people dislike shopping but this is often because it can be overwhelming when you don’t know what you’re looking for. We look at how to make the most of what you already have which means that everything in your wardrobe is ‘paying the rent’.
Sessions are held in my colour studio in Berkhamsted (just off the main road). I usually work on a 1-2-1 basis with clients or in small groups of 2-3.
Get in touch – it’s time for a confident you!
See below for more information on each session.
Discover your best colours
Our colour analysis session is based on a logical and scientific process to determine your perfect colours. All sessions are run in a friendly, relaxed manner and are conducted in natural daylight. You will leave with an understanding on how to use your colours and with a colour swatch fan and information book. With these tools you can begin to shop with confidence. You will also sample our straightforward '90-second' make up and can purchase a kit to get you started straightaway.
What happens in a Style Session?
A style analysis session is an exciting experience for groups or individuals to discover your unique styles and get to grips with why some outfits feel just right, and why others simply don’t! You will learn about which patterns, textures and shapes suit you best and learn how to get the best possible value from your clothes and love everything you buy. This is highly informative and life changing!
Make-up Refresh
It is good practice to review your make up routine regularly to make sure that you are keeping up to date with what works best for you. Daytime and evening looks are usually tried (but it’s up to you). This is for anyone who is confident or not (!) and would like the chance to trial different looks in a calm environment. It is a fun pamper session and a great refresher for anyone who would like to try some new products.
Personal Shopping
If you have an important event coming up, or you simply want an unbiased expert on hand, I can arrange a personal shopping trip for you. Whether you’re new or an existing client, this can be a great use of time and your resources.
Small group shopping trips with existing clients are also available.
Wardrobe Review
Often booked alongside or after a style session, we meet to review your current wardrobe(s), discuss organisation, and improve how you can put your different looks together. You can also bring your clothes to me at the colour studio – your choice.
How to book

Colour Analysis
-
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
Personal Shopping
-
My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalise how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.
Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your wardrobe for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.
There are a number of ways for you to personalise our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:
- We can shop together in person
- I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
- I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
Advanced Colour Analysis
-
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.

View TestimonialI attended Margaret's Colour Analysis workshop recently, as I have always been fascinated by fashion/make up and surprised myself that I had never done this before! Margaret is a consumate professional with an almost tangible passion for what she does! I felt completely at ease from the moment I walked into her Studio; even sitting in front of the mirror without make up wasn't an issue with Margaret's lovely, friendly approach.
Even if you think you've got a good idea as to which colours suit you, seeing SO clearly how one colour can have you looking at death's door, and another (seeminlgy similar) shade have you looking as if you've just returned from holiday is amazing, and truly an eye opener! It didn't stop there! We looked at some different make up ideas as well as clothes, accesories and scarves etc that adorn the Studio, which is heaven for any woman!
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this workshop for any man or woman, and of any age - I can't wait for the next workshop.
Thank you!"

View TestimonialThe Colours Workshop took me by surprise - it far exceeded my expectations. I was a bit sceptical at first at how much colours could make a difference to your appearance but when you sit in front of the mirror and see so clearly how certain colours make you look healthier and more radiant - even define your jawline - it's remarkable. And not to mention fun!
Margaret is a great host and made me feel very welcome as soon as I arrived, and I definitely learned a few new things - not only about colours, but make up and accessorising too. She even got me wearing big bold lipsticks - and feeling great about it.
I'm now armed with my colour wallet and new lipsticks and hugely excited about future shopping trips. For anyone wondering whether to take the plunge, why wouldn't you? Now I've done it, it seems crazy that I've walked around all these years wearing clothes that make me look washed out! It's definitely worth it!
Thank you!

View TestimonialIt's amazing how much difference knowing your colours can make to your confidence and self esteem. I look so much more radiant and I have so many more compliments than I used to. It's made shopping so much easier, not to mention the cost saving as I am able to scan for my own colours, and ignore the rest. I've also had a Styling Session with Margaret. Apart from being a fun session, I learnt alot about myself and why certain styles do and don't feel right. The final step later on was to have Margaret spring clean my wardrobe. Apart from being incredibly "cleansing" (!) I was able to see where the gaps were and by investing in just a few items, my wardrobe is more streamlined, goes alot further, and I no longer seem to have those days of "not knowing what to wear"! These sessions have been a totally worthwhile investment. I recommend it for everyone, and I highly recommend Margaret who takes a fun, down to earth and very practical approach whilst being sensitive to one's wallet.

View TestimonialHaving been offered both Colour and Style sessions with Margaret as a present, I was a bit sceptical. I wasn’t sure I needed them, and I didn’t think I’d enjoy talking ‘colours’ and ‘styles’ for any more than 5 minutes. Clothing doesn’t really interest me that much, and my idea of hell is going clothes shopping.
I’m now really pleased that I went along, and can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I learnt loads about what works for me, what doesn’t work - and why - and I was encouraged to broaden my quite limited view of clothing, styles and colours to include things I’d never normally have gone for.
Margaret is brilliant at putting you at ease, explaining in practical terms what the sessions are all about, and is really flexible about meeting your particular needs. She has a great sense of humour too, which really helps.
I’m sitting here in my newly dyed dark-green sweater - I’d never have dyed a sweater before, or gone for green. But it looks great, and I now know why. I’m still not a lover of shopping - but it’s less stressful now that I know what will probably work better for me, and I can do it in less time, and I’ll waste less money on clothes that don’t really suit me.
Now that’s a result!

View TestimonialI just wanted to say Thank you so much for the Kids Colour session on Saturday. My teenager had some real confidence issues, and the session that we did really gave her an additional massive boost. It makes such a difference when you know a colour looks great on you, and now she can't wait to go shopping. The make up session was also great, to show her that she doesn't need to 'pack it on'!
Every teenager should do this!
You've been brilliant. Thank you.

View TestimonialI spent Saturday with Margaret at a 'developing your style' workshop. Having had my colours done some while ago, I still didn't feel my wardrobe was quite right. The workshop was fascinating and ended with me know my CP (clothing personality) plus my own shape and proportions so that I can adapt the styles that suit me to be tailored exactly. I can't recommend this workshop enough - Margaret is so passionate about what she does. Nothing is too much trouble for her to explain, she solves every problem, and gives so much advice and guidance. This workshop is guaranteed to save you wasting money by buying the wrong things! (Oh, and lunch was delicious!!) Thank you

View TestimonialI thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, and have stayed inspired all weekend. I've documented most of my wardrobe and was amazed at how easy it was to decide something was a 'zero' and just needs to go. Equally, I've decided to try out some new styles with things that are a 7 or 8 to see whether I can solve my problems with them.

View TestimonialHaving had my colours assessed when I was much younger, I was curious to see what best colours may have changed and I recently arranged to have a colour re-rate at Margaret's studio.
I couldn't have hoped for a more professional, knowledgeable consultant. Margaret equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of my colours.
I booked a home consultation with her to assess my wardrobe.
Margaret's imaginative and insightful approach helped us to spend an enjoyable time together while discovering limitless possibilites of dressing up and enjoying the beauty of colour.
Her down to earth manner and amenability meant that I could explore why certain clothes might or might not work on me and that was incredibly helpful.
I now feel equipped with the ability to wear clothes and colours that enhance my life on a daily basis.
Margaret has helped me to explore seasonal wardrobes and expand my enjoyment of dressing. She is more than I could have hoped, for a consultant.
