About
Hi! Thank you for stopping by.
My name is Valora (pronounced Vuh-lor-ah), and I love working with color. I was obsessed from the moment I received my first box of crayons as a child. I have been a certified color consultant for fashion and beauty for 18 years. I was one of the first color consultants to offer online services. I love to transform my client's images and spaces using color. I look forward to working with you!
What I do
I match my clients with colors that enhance their image and breathe life into their spaces. I give you the tools you need for a flattering and well-put-together wardrobe, a home you love living in, or an office space that is aesthetic, comfortable, and keeps you motivated throughout the day is my mission.
More about me
I discovered personal color analysis when I was a kid in the 1980s. My mother bought a copy of Carole Jackson’s classic books Color Me Beautiful and Color For Men. I found them captivating, especially the pictures of men and women in their best colors versus the colors that didn’t flatter their skin tones.
As an adult, I have not only studied the works of Carole Jackson, but I have read the works of Irenee Riter, Suzanne Caygill, Bernice Kenter, Jean Wood Mumford, Henry Barrett Carpenter, and Renae Knapp.
My credentials
I originally trained and was certified in the Beauty For All Seasons system developed by Norma Virgin. For personal color analysis, and residential and commercial color consulting, I use a color system based on proven modern color science.
I also received certification in advanced color consulting for residential and commercial interiors and building exteriors from QC Design School under the guidance of award-winning color consultant Christina Kittelstad.
Additional services
I am also a certified skincare consultant. If you are wondering why or how this fits into color consulting? The answers are simple - it helps me see my client’s skin through a clear lens. I can tell between skin discoloration due to a skin condition and better see their skin tone. It helps me be a better personal color consultant.
I don’t represent a specific brand or sell products. My skincare service is unique to each client. I only recommend products from various brands based on what will benefit their skin’s situation. I would love to work with you, and get you on a tailor-made skincare regimen.
