About Us

In the 1980s, Carolyn Miller—a pioneering image consultant in the U.K.—recognized the limitations of the traditional four-season color system. While easy to understand, it was too rigid and didn’t fully reflect each client’s individuality. She evolved it, creating a more flexible and personalized approach that honored every unique skin tone.

Headquartered in London, House of Colour began franchising across the U.K., empowering a growing network of trained stylists, each serving their own exclusive territories. In 2008, four women acquired the business from its original founders, sparking a bold new vision for global expansion. That dream took shape in 2010 when the first U.S. franchisee trained in London. Since then, House of Colour has established a U.S.-based training center and expanded into other global markets, including Greece, the UAE, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, and beyond.

With over 40 years of refinement, our system is now trained to the highest standards in every market we serve.

At House of Colour, we celebrate individuality and understand that to be truly confident is to be able to visually express who we authentically are. Everyone is welcome here. We believe confidence is for everybody—regardless of size, age, race, faith, ability, sexuality, or gender identity.

While we’re proud of how far we’ve come, we’ll never forget our roots: female founders with a revolutionary idea—that true confidence begins by celebrating who we authentically are.
