  • The Mom’s Guide to Color Analysis - How Knowing Your Colors Can Save Time, Money & Decision Fatigue (House of Color with Lexi Sherrod) [Ep 48]

    The Mom’s Guide to Color Analysis - How Knowing Your Colors Can Save Time, Money & Decision Fatigue (House of Color with Lexi Sherrod) [Ep 48]
    May 20 2026
    The Mom’s Guide to Color Analysis - How Knowing Your Colors Can Save Time, Money & Decision Fatigue Lexi explains what a House of Color consultation is and how in-person draping identifies undertones (blue- vs yellow-based) and whether colors should be bright/clear or soft/blended, placing clients into one of four seasons with four sub-seasons each and a fan for shopping. She walks through a two-hour appointment: arriving fresh-faced with natural hair covered if needed, determining season, doing a 90-second season-specific makeup routine, and rating “wow” colors. The conversation covers why color analysis has resurged as a way to reduce overwhelm, save money, and increase confidence, including tips for wearing black, using accessories, and trying brown mascara (for spring, summer, and autumn). Lexi distinguishes color from style analysis (body architecture and clothing personality), shares transformation stories, discusses hair color guidance, franchise flexibility for moms, typical pricing, capsule wardrobes, online shopping/returns, and ends with motherhood advice about grace and self-care.00:00 Meet Lexi and Color Analysis00:48 How House of Color Works02:17 Drapes Explained03:44 Why Color Analysis Returned06:56 Inside a Consultation11:02 Seasons and Sub Seasons13:29 Making Mom Life Easier18:34 Mascara Color Surprise21:56 Wear What You Love22:49 Colors Versus Style24:44 Style Archetypes Explained26:45 Online Shopping Tips28:58 Client Transformations31:37 Hair Color By Season33:54 Franchise Flexibility37:26 Pricing And Long Term Value39:21 Capsule Wardrobe Strategy40:36 Shopping With Intention42:29 Connect And Book43:15 Mom Hack And ClosingConnect with Lexi: Lexi Sherrod is the owner of House of Colour Tyler and a Certified Personal Color and Style Consultant with House of Colour.
