Color Analysts

Work Environment

Many color analysts work out of their homes. They also work in salons, boutiques, day spas, and retail areas. Some analysts travel to their client's home or business to provide services.

This career can be stressful when working with clients who disagree with the color analyst's suggestion or are otherwise difficult (i.e., late for appointments, failure to pay bills), but most analysts enjoy their jobs. In 2024, 74 percent of color analysts surveyed by PayScale.com reported that they were "highly satisfied" with their careers.
