Chroma Collective is a private, in-home color analysis studio in the Fargo-Moorhead area. I love being able to offer a cozy, personal setting where your appointment can feel relaxed, comfortable, and completely focused on you. Because the studio is located in my home, I keep the exact address private for personal safety. Once your appointment is booked, you’ll receive the full studio address along with your appointment details. The studio is appointment-only, so there’s no need to worry about finding a storefront or checking in at a busy salon. Just come as you are, and I’ll be ready for you!

I trained with International Image Institute to offer a 16-season color method and have access to their full range of 35 palettes. I found this method provides options for people who don’t fit neatly into color systems with fewer palettes. By expanding the number of palettes from the traditional four to 35, the method captures finer variations in skin tone, hair color, and eye color. That way your best colors feel more precise and personal.

I make sure every client leaves my studio with an accurate color palette. Having been incorrectly analyzed myself, I’m committed to making sure others don’t experience the same frustration.

It depends on several different factors. Please email me with event and locations details and we can discuss!

Please come in a white colored, non-collared top if you can. Avoid bright colors that may reflect onto your face.
Please do not wear any makeup. If you have any permanent makeup, including micro-bladed eyebrows or false eyelashes, please indicate this on your pre-analysis survey.
If you wear glasses but are able to wear contacts, please do so. We’ll need to remove your glasses periodically. Please do not wear colored contacts to your appointment.
If you have facial and/or ear piercings and are able to remove them, please do so before your appointment.

Yes. Color analysis appointments take place in a home studio where cats and a dog live. Pets are not present during appointments, but individuals with pet allergies should be aware that pet dander may be present in the environment. If you have conerns about allergies, please contact us before booking.

If you have a natural tan or burn, that’s okay!
If you have acne or rosacea, that’s also okay!
If you have a sunless tan, we will need to wait until that has faded to do an analysis.

Your season will never change but your wow colors within the seasonal palette may change. This is due to the aging process that affects our skin and hair.

AI is reading what’s visible on the surface but it often misses deeper, perception-driven cues like undertone and tends to favor trend-driven palettes.
It’s best to be analyzed by a human that’s trained in color anaylsis and can pick up on subtle nuances within your natural coloring.
-
Color analysis methods vary as each uses different checks, palettes, and requires different levels of training. If your analysis was done by someone trained outside International Image Institute, your recommended palette may differ. If your current results don’t feel harmonious, you can absolutely book another analysis.
