Welcome Aboard: House of Colour
House of Colour is a global personal styling and image consulting franchise that traces its origins to the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s. Founded in 1985, the brand grew out of early color analysis concepts and evolved into a more personalized, science-based approach to style. Over time, House of Colour refined its methodology beyond the traditional four-season color system, focusing on helping individuals understand which colors, styles, and wardrobe choices best enhance their natural features and confidence.
The company’s expansion has been fueled by its franchise model, which allows trained consultants to operate their own businesses within defined territories while following a proven system. In 2008, House of Colour was acquired by a group of female franchisees, marking a significant turning point that accelerated its international growth. The brand entered the United States in 2010 and has since expanded across multiple countries, building a strong reputation for empowering clients through personalized styling and confidence-building services.
Today, House of Colour has grown into a well-established international franchise network with hundreds of consultants operating worldwide. The model is known for its relatively low startup investment—generally ranging from approximately $26,000 to $41,000—and a modest royalty structure, making it accessible for individuals seeking a flexible, service-based business. With more than three decades of history and a strong emphasis on training, community, and ongoing support, House of Colour continues to attract entrepreneurs interested in combining creativity, personal development, and business ownership.
