Working with Kathryn has completely changed the way I think about fashion, shopping, and personal style. I purchased three services: custom color mapping, face and feature analysis, and dress for body type - every single one of which exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was how personalized everything was. She didn't simply assign me to a seasonal color palette or follow a generic formula. She carefully analyzed my unique features and created recommendations specifically for me. The color analysis was incredibly eye-opening. Before working with her, I had no idea what my undertone was or which colors truly complemented me. Now I finally understand why certain colors never looked right on me and which ones make me look my best. The face and feature analysis was equally detailed. She took multiple photos and carefully evaluated my features instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. The PDF she provided was incredibly comprehensive, covering flattering glasses, hairstyles, jewelry, necklines, patterns near the face, and even tips on posing for photos based on my facial features. I especially appreciated that she pointed out my strongest features and explained how to highlight them with the right accessories and styling choices. The body type analysis was much more detailed than I expected. Rather than simply assigning me a body type, she considered my individual proportions and created recommendations tailored specifically to me. The PDF included guidance for tops, pants, skirts, shorts, necklines, silhouettes, and many other clothing details, making it easy to understand what enhances my shape and creates the most balanced look. The biggest difference has been the confidence I've gained. Before working with her, I often bought clothes and makeup simply because they were trendy or on sale, without knowing whether they actually suited me. Looking back, I realized that many of those purchases weren't the best fit for my coloring, face shape, or proportions. Since then, I've gradually replaced them with pieces that truly complement me, and the difference has been incredible. One of the most valuable outcomes is that shopping has become so much easier and more enjoyable. Whether I'm shopping in a department store or browsing online, I can quickly eliminate items that don't suit my colors, proportions, or style and focus only on pieces that truly work for me. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by endless options, I shop with confidence and make much better decisions. This experience has genuinely transformed the way I shop and dress. I now have a much clearer understanding of what works for me and why, and I feel far more confident in my choices. If you're looking for personalized styling that goes far beyond generic advice, I highly recommend working with her. The level of detail, care, and customization Kathryn puts into her work is truly exceptional. read more

I booked the Custom Color Mapping service and paid $497 based on the detailed description on the website. The service was advertised as including a fully personalized color map; flattering light and dark neutrals, whites, reds, metals, and eye-enhancing shades; detailed makeup and hair guidance; a digital palette; and personalized notes. As of the time of writing, I have not received those materials. What I received after the appointment was approximately twenty photographs of myself holding groups of fabric swatches. I did not receive a written color profile, personalized notes, a digital palette that I could use for shopping, or the promised makeup and hair recommendations. For a service costing nearly $500, I expected considerably more explanation and practical guidance. I was also uncomfortable throughout the appointment. The interaction did not feel welcoming, and I frequently felt as though my questions or presence were an inconvenience. Parking near the location was also very difficult, which prospective clients may want to plan for. I did not feel confident about many of the colors selected for me. Several of the deep burgundies, muted plums, brownish pinks, and very dark shades looked heavy or unflattering to me. The colors were generally presented in groups, and I did not leave with a clear understanding of which specific shades, neutrals, depths, or saturation levels suited me best. Most disappointing, I left feeling more confused about my coloring rather than more confident. Given the price, the limited information provided, the lack of practical guidance, and my discomfort during the appointment, I cannot recommend this service based on my experience. read more

Met with Kathryn today for an individual consult. She was able to quickly identify some base colors that worked best for me, but then went into great detail to find darker shades, the right neutrals, and the right metals. This wasn't your typical TikTok draping analysis. She took time to explain why she was choosing certain colors and why she was avoiding others. She didn't just diagnose me as a "spring" and leave it at that. She took into consideration my skin, hair, eye combination to find custom colors that were perfect for me based on my specific coloring. Much more than you would get out of ChatGPT. Her expertise goes far beyond a simple seasonal color analysis. She also helped me with some online shopping to guide me in the right direction in purchasing new pieces for my closet. If you want to ensure you are investing in the right pieces to add to your closet, invest in Kathryn's services. You will not regret it! read more

I had such a great experience with Kathryn. I started with color analysis and then we did a closet consult and some personal shopping. Last, we finished with some styling for a photo shoot! She not only gave me a usable color palette I can consult as I shop, but also broke down specific styles that are best for my body shape and how to pair them together, and overall, just helped me feel great in my body. I never thought I'd find experimenting with my clothes and my style (or shopping!) to be fun, but Kathryn gave me the tools and confidence to step out of my comfort zone. I'm so happy with my clothes and thrilled I worked with her! read more

She was great! Communicated throughout up until meeting. I enjoy the options, a physical palette or photos. I loved all the creative process and knowledge behind color analysis that she goes over very in depth with you. I cannot wait to see the photos so I can rebuild my wardrobe (I'm a "spummer" or cool spring). It's a little investment but it's worth it as it's supposed to be a lifetime (if rumors are true lol). read more

I had such an incredible experience getting my custom color mapping with Kathryn! She is so so sweet, knowledgeable, talented - and the space was so peaceful. I am getting ready for my wedding and found this extremely helpful. Could not recommend seeing her more! what a fun experience! read more

Kathryn has such a discerning eye and talent for color. My parents gave my husband and me color analysis by Kathryn for Christmas. She took the time to explore each of our undertones and hair / eye color before identifying our palettes. She genuinely cared about our experiences with colors (do we wear a given color a lot? Do we like it / hate it?) and used that information to make recommendations on how to wear specific shades or combinations. Instead of focusing on a preset season, she created custom palettes for each of us. She also looked at some photos and clothing we had brought in to help us understand how those relate to our colors. I am excited to go shopping now with more knowledge of what best enhances our natural features. Thank you, Kathryn! read more

K Griffin Style - Yellow, teal, green, blue, and purple color swatches - Personal Shopping Near Me

I worked with Kathryn on a closet edit to build a return-to-office wardrobe. We did an in-person styling session using a mix of new pieces and items I already owned. Together, we created 10-20 complete outfits for work, and Kathryn is helping shop for the remaining gaps. The styling session was hugely helpful--not just in putting together practical looks I can wear right away, but also in identifying what was missing from my closet. More importantly, it gave me a much deeper understanding of why certain pieces and combinations work (or don't). Kathryn walked me through how to dress for my body type, which colors complement each other, and how to pair items in a way that feels intentional--like why a certain jacket doesn't work with a belt, or why a particular shoe throws off the look of an outfit. She also gave me a vocabulary and framework for thinking about clothes that I've never had before, which makes getting dressed feel so much easier and more fun. On top of all that, Kathryn was flexible, thoughtful, and really tailored the session to what I was hoping to get out of it. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I spent $650 for a full color consult with Kathryn Griffin, and received a customized and flattering color fan which I love. Rating: 4.5/5 During the session, Kathryn methodically worked through the best darks, neutrals, metals, and more saturated colors that would look best with my skin, hair, and eyes. She also gave me verbal information about my personal color season and contrast levels. I appreciated that she incorporated my personal tastes and preferences into the final colors she selected for my fan. She also answered my questions about color theory and style best practices. Still, there were a few minor issues which didn't quite align with the luxe experience I was expecting at this price tag: - I would have enjoyed my session so much more if Kathryn had better lighting in her studio. While switching between various lamps with different color temps seems to work for her, it was difficult for me to see how each color looked against my skintone, especially because there was a large window with a tall green hedge outside that was bouncing massive amounts of green light into the room. And of course, the light kept changing as the sun moved throughout the day. (Even a few cheap Neewer video lights from Amazon and a dark curtain would have made a world of difference for my personal experience - like something akin to makeup artist lighting.) - Kathryn forgot my name and had to ask me for it after 2+ hours together. I didn't mind that she forgot my name, but rather that she didn't take a few seconds to discreetly check the calendar invite, or my Venmo deposit, or my text messages to refresh her memory. - The color guide PDF provided after my session was a decent overview of general personal color theory, but I was really hoping for something a bit more customized to my specific palette. If I had known the PDF wouldn't be personalized , I'd have taken notes during my session. I'm hopeful that Kathryn will make these improvements in the future for her higher paying clients as her business evolves. And even so, I still walked away with a comprehensive set of colors that look great on me. read more

K Griffin Style - Full color consult - color fan - Personal Shopping Near Me

I booked a "Custom Color Consult" with Kathryn, and it was a fantastic experience. She began by analyzing the exact tones of my skin, hair, and eyes to determine which color palettes truly complemented me. I always had lots of confusion with color seasons because I felt like different seasons worked for me, but Kathryn helped me see which ones ACTUALLY worked best. I wanted to narrow down my Personal Color Analysis because I am building a website to sell my fine art prints, and I wanted some homogeneity to build a cohesive personal brand. It turned out Kathryn studied design and fine arts herself, and she was excellent at helping narrow down which exact colors to use for my base, text, accents, etc on my website. If you need help with your brand, or just want to understand which colors suit you best, Kathryn is amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Getting your colors analyzed with Kathryn is absolutely worth it. I learned so much about my skin and hair tone and left the session with a much better understanding of the types of colors that work best for me. What sets this service apart is how personalized and nuanced it is. You don't just get a preset palette, you get swatches and colors compiled just for you. It's pricey, but it's an investment in looking and feeling good. Kathryn's a sweet, down to earth person who's a joy to collaborate with. I recently started working with her on some event planning and she's organized, communicative, and creative. read more

Working with Kathryn was such a delightful experience. I already had a custom palette made by another color specialist (sans draping), and I am of course aware of the conventional color analysts that send you home with a pre-made palette. Kathryn simply took color analysis to the next level--she went through a series of drapes under neutral lighting and explained the effect of each drape in detail. Sure some of the palette is based on my hair/skin/eye color, but it ended up being so much deeper than that. Furthermore, I'm impressed by the cohesiveness of the palette. From neutrals to colors, each shade works beautifully on its own and with others. Price is on the steeper side, but since (1) she's based in the bay area; and (2) you will be receiving fabric swatches (i.e. not printouts or paint chips), it's still worth to me. read more

Great conversation around color theory and thoughts around personal style and presentation!

I had a lovely time doing the shorter color analysis along with my friend! I really liked that Kathryn helps choose a personalized color palette that works with our skin tones, eye color, and hair color instead of picking a preset color season. We had an in depth conversation on why certain colors worked and how to arrange colors together for better balance. I've always had issues with identifying my skin tone and having Kathryn show me what colors worked with my skin gave me a greater appreciation of the wide color options she offers. She was very patient with going over colors and showing us other sister colors that could work. Her session offers excellent insight into color and personal style. read more

I found Kathryn to be very professional and knowledgeable about color. I'm glad I chose her because there are many color analysts that are picking seasons instead of custom colors. Kathryn did an excellent job customizing my palette and listening to my opinions about swatches. I always had difficulty pinning down my skin tone and I was happy to get another person's perspective. Our appointment was so insightful that I immediately took clothes out of my closet to give away that were obviously not great colors on me and what I was left with were clothes that actually made me feel happy AND were easy to match together! My outfits look so much more cohesive and put together now. I feel happier with the clothes I have, and look forward to developing new looks in the future. If you're wondering if you should get a color analysis, go ahead and make the investment. Our consultation has changed how I will dress and buy clothes for decades, until my hair turns white, at which point I will probably get another! I also am engaged now and it was nice being able to ask questions about which metals look good on me before choosing a ring. read more

Had an awesome experience getting the color analysis by Kathryn! I really appreciated her style of leading the session. She made sure I had input on which colors I like and will be most likely to wear but also guided me when I had a hard time deciding. She made the process simple and fun. I'm so excited to go shopping, I walked away with so many ideas on how to put the colors to work for me. read more

Katherine specializes in color analysis and wardrobe consulting, helping individuals elevate their aesthetic and enhance their lives through good style. Here's how her process worked when I hired her: 0. **Color analysis**: Katherine starts out with a Pantone swatch collection and she sits with you to try out various colors to see how they match your skin tone. This is a detailed process but you just have to sit there and wait for her to do her magic. It can take 20 minutes or more. 1. ** Style Basics**: Katherine will guide you through style essentials for various contexts--business, social, and lifestyle needs. 2. **Customized Looks**: She'll create personalized looks based on your unique coloring, bone structure, and other key design elements. 3. **Wardrobe Edit**: Katherine will review your existing wardrobe and update your style to be more current and relevant. in my case, there were some items that I was urged to never wear and then there were items I would not have put together. Her objectivity was appreciated. 4. **Color Palette**: She'll develop a personalized color palette to maximize the impact of color in your image before you go out shopping. I was quite surprised at the color palette that came back as it was not what I thought, originally of myself as the more colors than the usual autumn hues that I had chosen for myself most of my life. 5. **Outfit Formulas**: Discover precise outfit formulas for different occasions, whether it's a professional headshot or online profile. She may take you shopping in person (my fav part!) 6. **Closet Capsules**: Katherine can curate closet capsules and provide an accompanying lookbook. Whether you're looking to enhance your professional image or elevate your nightlife outfits, Katherine Griffin's services can help you achieve a sharp and polished look. Her sensitivity to individual needs and generous approach make her a joy to work with, and i appreciate the positive impact she brought to my life. I only wish she was still living near me so we could do this consult once again. Remember, style isn't just about clothes--it's about confidence and self-expression! -- Athonia C. Technology specialist, Stanford University read more

I recieved a full color analysis with Ms. Kathryn. Overall, I'm happy with the service and product I recieved. The studio was nicely styled and the vast swatches she had to work with made me feel like I was in knowledgeable hands. I love my personal palette fan! Each stick has a variety of textures which gives you more information rather than simply a color. They are cool! This will be so valuable to me while shopping for clothes and makeup. I would definitely work with K Griffin Style again! I did feel like the experience was a bit lacking. I left feeling like I thought there would have been more to it. For example, I thought there would have been more in depth explanation of possible uses of the colors in my palette or coordination of them. Maybe I should have asked more questions but they escaped my mind in the moment. Also, I did not like the chair! I was not comfortable in it. It felt small and like I was sliding forward. I also have fantasy color in my hair so it needed to be covered for the process. The thing we used was a bit oversized and awkward. I think just using a white hair bonnet would be easier. ​ The service is totally worth it! I think the experience of it could be a little more impactful. read more

K Griffin Style - My customized palette. - Personal Shopping Near Me

I had a fantastic experience working with Kathryn! I did the color analysis consultation in her studio. She's deeply knowledgeable about color theory and showed me new colors to explore. I liked her so much that I continued working with her as a stylist/personal shopper to help me select outfits for a big event. Kathryn found amazing clothes for me, including brands I would have never known about! It was a wonderful "gift" to myself to get shopping help, and I'll look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

I recently had my color analysis done and it was much better than I expected. Kathryn's studio is beautifully decorated and I felt very relaxed. She really took her time to find colors that go well with my hair, skin, and eyes- but also colors I would want to wear. I can't wait to get my custom fan in the mail and start collecting new pieces. I'll also be using Kathryn in the future for makeup color recommendations and personal shopping. I'm so glad I booked this as a birthday present to myself. I feel like I have so much more understanding and direction now when it comes to picking clothes. read more

I'm really glad I chose to go with Kathy over other color analysis options out there. It might be more expensive but it's worth it. She has her own color swatches she made as well as the more traditional seasonal color sets. She really gets into the nitty gritty with warm/neutral/cool, deep/ for every color scheme and will send you a customized fabric color wheel afterward. I learned a lot and look forward to simplifying how I dress and shop for clothes from the knowledge I gained. The studio was also really nice, and you do the consult in a bay window area with a pleasant view. read more

My friends and I had a great time having our color seasons analyzed by Kathryn! She was a welcoming and gracious host, allowing our larger group to book an extended color party. After months of trying to self-analyze and determine our own color seasons, it was fun to have a professional tell us what she sees. We had some surprise seasons in the mix! Overall it was a super fun time and I'd recommend K Griffin Style to get your color season analyzed. Thanks, Kathryn! read more

K Griffin Style - Personal Shopping Near Me

My mom and I both met with Kathryn for color analysis, and she did a fantastic job identifying the colors that look best on us. I have had a color analysis before, but this went into much more depth to really pinpoint the colors that are perfect for me and for my mom. I am also somewhat between seasons, which made my attempts to identify some of the best shades, particularly when it comes to neutrals, frustrating - Kathryn was a huge help in focusing the palette in a very personalized way. If you are considering seasonal analysis, I wouldn't hesitate to make an appointment with Kathryn, who will be very careful and thorough with the process. I feel much more confident now about my choices when cleaning my closet or shopping for something new. read more

TLDR: Kathryn is super skilled, thorough, and communicative. I'm so so glad I got a color analysis with her! I've always loved color, but I'm cursed with indecision and a poor eye. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten overwhelmed and panic-bought clothes because they looked good together instead of looking good on me. For many years, I gave up and wore whatever free t-shirt came my way. Reading the glowing reviews, I messaged Kathryn. Right off the bat, she was quick to respond, and set up a consultation call where she took the time to get to know me and my goals. During the actual appointment, she was super communicative, asking me what I thought, and listening to what colors I liked to see if she could find a version that complemented me, even if it was a color that would typically be inharmonious with my color range. She took the time necessary to really fine-tune my palette in a way that showed skill and dedication. There were many times when she was comparing colors that low-key looked the same to me, but then she would explain her thoughts, and I would see the subtle differences. It was fascinating. She even indulged all my many questions about color theory and laid out a mapping on a color wheel to show me how it worked, especially within the context of skin/hair/fashion. I feel like I learned so much, at a level I was never able to reach despite hours on YouTube. If you're still not convinced, let me tell you, I went to a store today after seeing my palette, and I felt like I could finally breathe. Instead of trying a thousand things and wearing myself out, I was able to pick within my color palette and focus on the garment itself. It was much easier to say no to things that I didn't need, and I'm already spending less. Plus, now seeing which colors complement me, I'm super happy with everything I bought! Overall, I'm super glad I got this color analysis with Kathryn, and I can only imagine that her shopping advice is just as incredible. 10/10 would recommend :D. read more

Highly recommend this service! I had a color analysis using her custom color lab. This was so much more than just finding my season. She went way further into depth and explained why certain colors just didn't work. I left with photos to refrance and a much better idea of what to look for next time I go shopping. Completely different than what AI said were my colors. Grateful to have the human touch so near by. read more

I have spent most of my life trying to "keep up" with trends and fit myself into clothes/styles that ultimately left me feeling unconfident and STRESSED OUT before social events. For lack of better words, I felt like my clothes were "wearing me." I didn't feel a strong sense of self with my style and honestly had no idea where to even start when I decided it was time to make a change. I definitely became intrigued with color analysis when I stumbled upon some content on TikTok. I tried to figure out my true season with various filters, AI programs, and each time I was given inconsistent results (no matter how great the lighting was in my photos!). I took my frustration to Reddit and went into the depths of the color analysis threads. Surely, there had to be some other people feeling the struggle I was. That was when I first saw a recommendation for K Griffin style. I saw that she was in SF and thought she would be worth checking out -- especially based on the glowing review the redditor had left. The process seemed intimidating at first. I have felt embarrassed about my lack of style and self-conscious about my wardrobe in the past. It took a lot of courage to book the consultation initially, but I was thankful it was free so I could see if she would be a good fit for my goals. I felt comfortable talking with Kathryn immediately. I was able to get a feel for her and her process and felt like her background was extensive with color theory and color analysis. I knew I would be in good hands. I really enjoyed the color analysis session and felt extremely comfortable. I had obviously read up on Kathryn's background on her site, but to see her in action applying all aspects of her knowledge really made me feel like I had made the right decision. I found out I am a rose toned summer and Kathryn curated the perfect fan for me. Between the color analysis and shopping portion, I tried to hone in on the few pieces I had that fit within my ideal colors. On my family vacation, I opted to skip my usual gold jewelry for silver, which I learned is a better fit for me. I chose to wear a velvet, slate blue swimsuit with a navy cover up, and blush toned slides. In the past I would have worn a black cover up and black swimsuit. The minute I stepped out from changing... I got 3 compliments from my mother and aunts about how RADIANT I looked. I was grinning ear to ear and just kept thinking to myself.. "holy crap this really works." Since that day, Kathryn has helped me curate my summer wardrobe and I couldn't be happier with how the process went. We had a google drive where she asked me for specific words and style types that would exhibit how I wanted the world to see me. I also sent her photos of styles I had admired on Pinterest. From there, she shopped for me based on my colors and body shape. She provided links and even alerted me to sales. I ordered everything and we did a try on/ styling session in person. Attached is a photo of me with my fan and some pieces from my summer wardrobe! I could not be happier with how things have gone so far and I am looking forward to shopping in person with Kathryn soon for some fall pieces. For the first time, I feel like I am wearing the clothes -- the clothes aren't wearing me. Thank you Kathryn for helping me find my confidence by highlighting the features I already have. If you have experienced anything like me regarding wardrobe, lacking confidence, or just want to switch things up, I highly recommend K Griffin Style. You won't be disappointed! read more

K Griffin Style - Fan & clothing pieces from summer wardrobe - Personal Shopping Near Me

I loved getting my colors done and finding out I am an exotic Autumn- not a spring like I thought! Kathryn helped me to remove 6 bags of clothes from my closet and find the right fit- the clothes she had helped me find get compliments on the street a lot! I definitely recommend her if you are ready to look much more put together! I felt comfortable with her too as this is a very personal thing! read more

K Griffin Style - My color wheel - Personal Shopping Near Me

My Mom and I had a wonderful girl's afternoon getting a group color consultation with Kathryn. Kathryn's space was really soothing and the whole experience was relaxed and comfortable. My Mom and I have very similar colorings but have gravitated to different colors/tones in our wardrobes. We learned from the session that we're both soft winters/dark summers! I had thought we might be soft summers, but we are certainly higher contrast than I gave us credit for. These results make much more sense for both of us, and I feel at home with it! Looking forward to incorporating more reds and greens from this palette into my wardrobe. This would have been a wonderful galentine's day adventure as well, but a wonderful way to relax and start the New Year! Thank you, Kathryn! read more

I scheduled a custom color analysis session for myself and my mom, and we had such a great experience. Kathryn was incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and detail-oriented throughout the entire appointment. Not only did we discover which colors suit us best, but she also provided personalized recommendations for makeup and hair colors. We walked away feeling confident, informed, and inspired--armed with valuable insight we'll continue to use every day. read more

Kathryn was absolutely lovely to work with! She clearly has an innate gift when it comes to working with color. Her honesty and passion for what she does is what I appreciated most. She wasn't afraid to be direct with me, which I deeply valued because I genuinely felt like I needed her guidance. Kathryn is not just a consultant--she's a fastidious artist with a perfectionist's eye. She also has an impressive understanding of the power and psychology of color, which might sound unusual, but as a professor, I know how important it is to convey the right tone in different situations. Kathryn really grasped that there are moments when I need to appear approachable and others when I need to project more seriousness. After our session, she went above and beyond by sending me photos of hair swatches and a few celebrity images to give me a clear vision of the hair color I could work towards. Her follow-up was thoughtful and incredibly helpful. I flew to San Francisco in part to work with her, and I do not regret it at all. My only wish is that Kathryn lived closer to me in the Mountain West--there's simply no one here with her level of talent and expertise to provide this kind of service. I hope to work with her again to select the perfect eyewear and clothing. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert advice on color and style. read more

Getting a color analysis has been on my bucket list since seeing it as a viral trend. I thought about getting it abroad but my impulse got the best of me so I said fuck it, gonna do it now. I found Kathryn on Yelp and based on reviews and her site aura, I took a shot. Let me say, best impulse ever. If you're like me, someone who enjoys efficiency and shopping is basically a nightmare because of million of options and decision making, this is worth the investment. I'm a multi-industry consultant and national athlete that juggles tons of client interactions and on camera appearances that styling is just as important as brushing your teeth. Kathryn helped me identify what colors brings out the intentions and impressions I want to make. I went all out after the color analysis, we just finished my first closet audit and as emotionally difficult as it was, she made it easy to let go of what didn't serve my features. A big bonus - I had an international trip coming up that I was cramming packing for in the middle of work fires - she curated all my outfits and made packing seamless. We have another closet audit scheduled and this is where we're going start styling and creating outfits for all my moods. THANK YOU KATHRYN read more

I booked an appointment here for seasonal color analysis and was very happy with the results. From beginning to end Kathryn was very friendly and took her time to explain very complex concepts about color analysis to further my understanding throughout the appointment. I was very pleased to be in a space where I could inquire about certain aspects and develop a deeper understanding of the process outside of what I had initially learned on social media. read more

I wanted to a color analysis in SF and am glad I was able to find Kathryn. I booked the shorter color analysis, but she took her time to go through all the possible options for me and created a really thorough and usable palette for me. She made me feel at ease the entire time and I can't wait to use the tips she's suggested into my style in the future. read more

If you're thinking about seeing Kathryn for a color analysis, just do it and schedule time with her. I had previously gotten a color analysis twice online (two different consultants, same result). I didn't agree with the results, but it was pretty close to what was already in my closet, so I got rid of all my clothes not in " my season". I felt like my clothes overpowered me and I was completely washed out in everything. I decided to see Kathryn while I was visiting my parents in the Bay, and she did not disappoint. Most stylists do drapes, and they can only have so many, while she looks at hundreds of colors against your skin, eyes, and hair. She also doesn't look squarely at seasons and more at colors, since some people can have partial two or even three seasons. She's also really fun to spend time with, so it goes by pretty fast. I ended up being in the autumn-y family, which is very different from a bright winter I had gotten previously. I'm buying the fan of color swatches, so I can match it online when I'm shopping. I have bittersweet feelings about getting a whole new wardrobe. But I'm in the same color zone as J. Lo or Meghan Markle, so definitely a win! (Just need to get on their level of talent, lifestyle, and a handsome husband). Small amount of time and money to get yourself feeling put together. She also does personal shopping, but I haven't gotten to that quite yet! read more

We had an amazing afternoon session with Kathryn for my sister's sprinkle. She was extremely helpful in getting our booking arranged, answered my litany of questions and helped get us excited about our distinct palettes. The studio space was great to hang out while we had back to back sessions. I especially loved her positive energy and friendly reminder to embrace the palettes and color tones that work best for us. Thank you Kathryn for a fun and informative event! read more

I booked Kathryn for a corporate event and she was amazing! She was very thorough in doing everyone's color consultations and made the experience interesting and fun. Kathryn was very easy to work with and professional in the lead up to the event during the planning and strategy phase. I am so pleased with how our whole event came out, thanks to Kathryn. If you have ever wanted a color consult done or are looking for a unique corporate event, Kathryn is your go-to! read more

Working with Kathryn was amazing. I've completed the color analysis and the closet audit so far. For the color analysis, I think she was spot on, and it's far more nuanced than other color professionals. She typed me as a jewel tone summer. I got the color fan, and she's right; I always knew I looked good in jewel tones, especially burgundy, but black, white, and gray, while I can wear them, don't do a lot for me. The big surprise was not having my best metal be silver, even though I'm cool toned, but that I look best in rose gold! The closet audit was very helpful in identifying clothing that was worn out, out of style, not my style, color, or pattern. She definitely put together a few great outfits I wouldn't have thought of and pushed me in the right direction. Overall, I need to work on some better habits. Really a professional and working with her was money well spent. read more

It was prom season and was looking for a color analysis for my daughter and myself. The online apps were vaguely helpful, however the palette was never really right. So glad I found K Griffin style! She did a color analysis and created custom palettes- which included colors you would actually find in stores that worked together. She included makeup tones (skin and lip color), neutrals, pop colors, and best metals. We received our custom swatches - it was so fun and useful! It has changed the way I shop and focused what I actually buy. Highly recommend!! read more

It was a pleasure to work with Kathryn for my color consultation! Kathryn has an extensive art background and a deep understanding of color theory. This allowed for more flexibility and nuance when creating my color palette than using a system that has a rigid, predetermined set of colors. I have had a color consultation by a professional who is part of a large franchise and thought the system was severely lacking. I think flexibility and expertise in color are important for creating inspirational and usable color palettes for people of all shades. I wish I had found Kathryn sooner! Getting a color or wardrobe consultation is an investment (that lasts a lifetime!) and I had no idea what to expect. Kathryn set up a phone chat with me, where I was able to pick her brain and understand her practice. This helped me decide to book a consultation with her. I was provided with my own color fan for reference. Kathryn works with a few color labs to have her shade cards printed on fabric, so they are special ordered after our session. My fan arrived within a week or so. I love pulling out my color fan to admire it. And yes, I have been using it religiously to help me make better clothing choices. Kathryn's studio is beautifully designed, a clear reflection of her talent! It is a great space to spend 2-2.5 hours. If I ever decide to get a style consultation, I would without hesitation work with Kathryn. read more

After doing some research for awhile for color consultations, I decided to choose someone local and have an in person experience. I think Kat had great examples of some of her work, and I agreed with the examples of clients she had worked assessed. After speaking and working with her, I also liked that she doesn't fit everyone into a generic box. Everything is very customized. I knew I would be a bit more complex. Kat is so customized she found some gorgeous colors for me. Many of them fit into categories that other systems use, but many of them were just extra colors that just happened to look great on me and nah have fallen into some other categories. So if you want something truly custom and thorough to you, come see Kat. It will save you money in the long run. I'm also now going to use her closet clean out service and have her go through my wardrobe. I can't wait! read more
