HOC person - North West?

[wickedfairy]

Hi,

After reading lots of threads re getting your colours done, I have decided I really want to do it (but am a bit scared!)

HOC seem to be the way to go - can anyone recommend someone who does this in the North West please? I am in Greater Manchester/Cheshire area, but could travel a bit further if need be. I have heard some consultants are better than others, so a recommendation would be great.

I have no clue about my colours, I don't know what suits me and really shouldn't be allowed out shopping on my own EVER!!

I am early thirties, really need a new wardrobe but before I shell out money, I want to know what suits me and not waste my money! I live in jeans and rubbish tops - I don't know where to start.

Any help greatly received! TIA

I had mine done with HoC with a lady called Lynda May (I think! she was near Warrington). I really enjoyed it although I wouldn't be able to compare her to any other consultants as I have only been to her!

Just googled her and that is her name, here is a link

Will be watching this as I'm in Altrincham and fancy being 'done' too.

I had mine done in Sale with Louise Harley

I rarely wear make up and am not very keen on clothes shopping so was probably quite hard work as a customer.
I did feel there was a bit of a hard sell on the make up front (I didn't buy any) but I'd say her colour analysis was spot on and I came away with great advice about which colours work for me and the HOC colour swatch pack etc.

I had an individual session but with hindsight think going along with a friend or in a small group would be more interesting and fun.
