Employers
For the most part, color analysts are self-employed. They run their own consulting businesses, and have the freedom to decide what customers to serve. Some analysts concentrate on working with corporate clients, but many others may also advise individuals. Consultants may get the products they sell from one company, such as Color Me Beautiful, or they may offer a range of products and services. Those in apprenticeships and analysts just entering the field may work for analysts who have already established their businesses.
Starting Out
Some analysts enter the field through apprenticeships. After working as an apprentice for a few years, they transition to salaried or hourly positions. Others enter the field after obtaining extensive experience in the cosmetology industry or in the business world. It may take three to five years to establish a corporate consulting business.
