Colour stylist recommendation please (HoC I guess?)

Can anyone recommend a colour stylist in the west London area? Having read some threads in this vein I'm under the impression HoC is the one everyone rates but happy to be corrected/redirected.

I want to have my colours done and down the road possibly a wardrobe overhaul. Ideally looking for someone who is not very conservative/workwear-orientated (I don't need anything to fit in at the office, it's all for me). Basically I'm struggling to get my edge back and I feel like every new thing I try either makes me look like a matron or a crazy person so I'd like someone to help me navigate new terrain.

Tia! Smile

Julia in Twickenham is excellent.
A lovely lady and her colour and style day has made me feel so much better about myself and my son says look ten years younger

Thanks very much Happy50! Julia is the first person who comes up on my search so I was wondering about her. Did you do a colour analysis class with two other people? I wasn't sure if I should book a block of classes or do one and see how I feel.

It was on my own but I would have been happy in a group.
I did the colour and the next year the style day which really pulled everything together.
If you could afford it - I would do the two quite close - the style day is really what I needed
I thought the recommendations would be very classic clothes - I knew I suited tailored clothes and styles such as Hobbs but felt so uncomfortable in that type of clothes
Julia helped me find a style that I am very happy wearing and feel like "me" in.
I like pretty soft natural clothes with a slight edge.
In my youth I wore short skirts, DM and loved to shop in Camden to give you an idea
But then sort of lost my way.
Back to Julia - she has an excellent idea of what suits your body and equally importantly what suits your personality.
Shopping is far easier now.
Julia can also do a shopping day with you or she does an internet shop for you [ you tell her the shops you like - Im really fussy but she manages it very well] - you can try on all the clothes in the privacy of your home and keep what you like
