Who can benefit from a Personal Color consultation?

Anyone can benefit from a personal color consultation if they are interested in improving their confidence, simplifying shopping, or just curious about what looks good on them.

What is personal color?

Personal color at Hybrid Rainbow Studio is not just about “this color looks good on you”. Hybrid Rainbow Studio uses the Korean color analysis system and gives you a range of tones you can wear for different days and occasions. They all look good on you, but for different reasons. They are the tones that suit your complexion and image best.

Why does Hybrid Rainbow Studio use the Korean personal color system? What’s the difference?

The Korean personal color system is newer and tone based. The Japanese personal color system was developed in the 1980s and based on the American personal color system which was developed in the 1970s. It is more practical to find the tone that suits you instead of a single color. This is a more flexible and innovative approach to personal color, as each item is checked individually.

Can men get a personal color analysis?

Yes, Hybrid Rainbow Studio offers personal color and styling programs for men with special materials. Please check the Programs page to see the Programs available.

I don’t care about makeup. Can I still do get a personal color analysis without makeup?

Yes, Hybrid Rainbow Studio offers programs without makeup curation so anyone can get a color consultation. Please check the Programs page to see the Programs available.

Does Hybrid Rainbow Studio do color consultations for couples?

Does Hybrid Rainbow Studio offer Body Frame Analysis or Face Frame Analysis services?

Yes, Hybrid Rainbow Studio now offers Body Frame Analysis and Face Frame Analysis programs. However, since these sound very clinical, they are called Personal Styling Curations. You can book either Program 7 or Program 8. However, since they take a long time, limited time slots are available each week. These programs are not available to those under 18 years old international age.

Does Hybrid Rainbow Studio give accessory recommendations?

Yes, Hybrid Rainbow Studio checks accessory colors in all programs (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and wristwatches). This is optional.

You can even check glasses frames in Programs 4, 7, and 8.

What do I need to prepare for my personal color or personal styling reservation? Do I need to wear something special?

You can check the email sent manually about 48 hours before your reservation. For all reservations, please wear basic makeup such as foundation, sunscreen, or concealer as Korean personal color needs to be checked with how you present yourself every day. For those who grow facial hair, it is recommended you shave if you shave every day. You can leave facial piercings on and wear glasses if you wear them every day (or contact lens if you wear them every day). For most consultations, you do not need to wear anything special and you will be given a cape to wear. If you have long hair, you may want to bring a hair tie or scrunchy to secure your hair during the draping process. For Programs 7 and 8, please wear comfortable clothing without a lot of volume so that measurements can be taken more accurately. When checking eyewear, a smaller mirror will be provided so you can see closer if needed.

Do I need to take notes or photos during my personal color or personal styling consultation? It’s overwhelming!

Unlike most other personal color studios, you will get a personalized booklet and color cards to take with you! A summary email and a product shopping list of recommendations will be sent after your reservation so you won't lose or forget any details. (Results email depends on the program you book).

Can I take photos or video during my personal color consultation?

You are welcomed to take photos or video during the draping process and of your curation board, but you do not need to take photos or video to remember your consultation results. I do all the work for you and I will give you a personalized booklet, color cards for fashion tones and makeup, and a summary email after your consultation (Results depend on the program you book).

What do I need to bring for my personal color or personal styling consultation?

You should bring your foundation or concealer that you normally wear if you are doing Program 1, 4, or 8. I can compare your foundation directly with your skin tone to tell you if it is a good match. You can also bring up to 10 other color cosmetic items for me to check such as eyeshadow, blush, or lipstick. I cannot easily check loose powder or setting powder, and eyeliner or eyebrow products cannot be checked. You may also want to bring a hair tie or scrunchy if you have long hair (I do have some hair ties but it would be better if you bring your own).

Can I bring another person to my personal color consultation?

Yes, you may bring another person for your consultation. You must tell me in advance. Only one person who is not paying is allowed in the studio during your consultation. If you are coming as a group, please do not bring extra people since it will be uncomfortable. Those under 18 years old international age must bring a guardian with them when visiting.
