I'm so happy I was finally able to book a Color Analysis with Karen!! She's incredibly knowledgeable, is literally the sweetest, and her bubbly personality made me feel so welcomed!! She started by walking me through the color theories behind each of the four seasonal palettes, with fabrics grouped by tones and shades. She also presented Powerpoint slides breaking down the colors, makeup, hair, fashion, and accessories styling for each season. She even showed me collages of celebrities for each one, so that I could get a better visualization of real-life examples. I was honestly shocked because I had no idea that each palette came with its own whole styling approach. I've been mixing and matching this entire time! Then came the fabric draping, and WOWW!! She has such a good eye and really pays attention to the little details!! At first, I was only reacting to whether I liked a color, but she explained to me what she was looking for: the tones/shades that brighten my face AND create harmony with my features as a whole. She even analyzed the makeup I already use and looked through photos of my outfits to advise me what to keep, add, or replace. Everything felt so personalized. I had gotten my lip blush done a couple years back, so my lips already have a tint. My seasonal palette lipstick colors were not showing up as the true colors on them. Karen immediately pivoted and found shades within my undertone range that suited me even better. I love that she's so patient as I was learning everything: she broke things down whenever I got confused and even quizzed me so I would be able to recognize the right tones on my own when shopping. After the appointment, she sent me a full recap AND direct links to shop for the specific lipstick shades that matched my lip blush better. She really goes the extra mile for her clients!! You're not just getting a color analysis, you're also getting a personal stylist!!! The biggest thing for me was that I've always thought I was a silver girlie. It turns out silver actually makes me look tired, emphasizes my smile lines and undereyes, and washes me out!! I was a gold girlie all along!! If you want a glow up, Karen is THE person to see!! There's a reason why she gets booked up so fast!! I can't recommend her enough!! read more

I can't believe I don't have to travel all the way to Korea to get a comprehensive color analysis. It's available in OC! Karen is incredibly personable, sweet, and informative! She starts the session doing a mini presentation, which breaks down color theory, the four seasons, and styling guides for each season. There are also informational handouts provided as well, which is so helpful if this is new information for you (like me)! The next part is the color analysis and Karen provides a phone mount, so you can record yourself during the process. This is especially supportive if you want to go back to review your season's colors. Then she goes into complementary hair colors, glasses frames, and eyebrow shape! The last part of the session goes over your season and makeup products she recommends. During this process, she sends an Amazon link, which organizes makeup products by season, and additional styling guides. As someone who is wanting to be intentional about what makeup and clothes I purchase, I highly recommend Karen's services ‍ read more

I really enjoyed my color analysis session with Karen. I already had an idea of what colors looked good on me but was confused why certain colors in the same color palate didn't go. After my session I finally understood why. Karen made sure to cover everything from clothing, accessories, makeup, hair color and even glasses shape and color. It was very thorough. I have more confidence and can easily now go through my closet and keep what looks best on me. Definitely recommend!! read more

I cannot recommend this experience ENOUGH! My best friend and I went in completely convinced we were winters but with Karen's help we found that we were actually springs. This was unexpected for us because in all online color theory pictures, you mostly see redheads and blondes as spring. We're both Asian. First she goes over the profile of each season. The colors, makeup styles, fashion tips, examples of celebrities who are in that season. Make sure you pay attention! I didn't initially try to remember spring because as I said, I thought I was winter or perhaps autumn. Afterward, she used a device that showed if we were cool or warm toned and we confirmed with the draping process. She lets you take videos and pictures of the draping process which is helpful. Then you see which hair colors look best on you, looks through your makeup to see if you have the shades for your season. If you don't, she has makeup there she lets you try so you can see the proper colors you should be wearing. She does send you all this information after so do not be worried too much about remembering. Perhaps what's the most helpful is that Karen is very honest and friendly. She will let you know her opinion without sugar coating but you can also feel her expertise and professionalism. Again, I recommend this experience to everybody and think the cost was worth it! read more

For years I've wanted to get my color analysis done, and I finally booked with Karen. One of my larger life goals is to live more intentionally, and that includes shopping more intentionally by making informed decisions. She goes over what the appointment covers, which starts with a crash course in color theory, an overview on all four seasons which includes palette and style, determining your undertone by scanning your skin, and finally draping to determine your specific season and season group. After that, she goes over what hair colors, eyewear frames, and makeup palettes suit you, and let's you swatch some lip colors. Everything is sent to you via Instagram, and she sends you home with printed references, including small cards with your seasons swatches on it which I think can be very useful while shopping. Karen was so sweet and I had a lot of fun learning more about myself. read more

Karen was recommended to me two years ago, and I was finally able to get my color analysis done with my friend and partner! The experience was extremely fun, educational, and holistic. I went in with close to no knowledge, and walked out feeling so empowered to make the best styling choices moving forward. Absolutely worth the wait, and I strongly recommend! (I also recommend setting a reminder for when her appointments open because they go FAST) read more

Before coming to The Ryeon, I did a lot of research on color analysis services around SoCal. I chose this one because it's the only one with consistent 5-star ratings at such a great price. After my session, I completely understand why 250+ people have rated it 5 stars. Karen was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. I didn't know much about color analysis before my appointment. But now, I feel really confident about how to improve my wardrobe and elevate my overall style! She also gave me these small cards (see attached photo) that I can bring when I go shopping in the future, to find my best colors! I would highly recommend The Ryeon to anyone looking for a thorough and insightful color analysis. Karen makes the experience not only helpful but truly enjoyable. I can only say positive things about her and the service! read more

I was so scared and intimidated by the whole color system and Karen broke it down and explained it in a way that was super easy to understand and actionable. highly recommend!! read more

My sister and I tried this for our little sister date and we had such a great experience! We learned so much about what colors look best on us, and how everything falls into place, down to the scents!The whole session was fun, friendly, and totally worth it. Highly recommend! Karen was ultimately the sweetest! read more

Karen is such a gem! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our color analysis experience and would recommend it to anyone interested. The entire package was filled with a ton of helpful resources and insightful information that you can take home. Karen starts by introducing you to the concept of color theory, and she is equipped with very detailed presentation slides. After introducing the ideas of color theory and the different seasons, she identifies your undertone and then your season. In addition to your color analysis, she tells you about suitable eyeglass styles, eyebrow shapes, hair color, and makeup. You're also encouraged to record the moment so you can look back on it. Karen is also a lovely, patient, and funny person. I can guarantee that you'll be in great hands and will appreciate the insight she has. I am excited to incorporate what I've learned to elevate my makeup and closet. Also, don't be like me and make sure to look at the useful attachments from the confirmation email; it'll tell you how to come prepared (e.g., bare-faced, bring your cosmetics, etc.) and how to navigate the building. read more

Karen was super friendly and helpful and I really enjoyed my experience. I will say it can be a little tricky to find though. It's in a building with some other shops so we parked in the lot then walked inside and looked around until we found the right door. My friend and I did a joint session that lasted two hours I appreciated that she took the time to go in depth with every season from the colors to the overall styling with hair and makeup types. She helped us identify our best color seasons for clothes and specific types of colors within the seasons. We also took a quick look at different hair colors, glasses shapes, and eyebrows. After that, we looked at makeup and swatched some different lipsticks and glosses Overall great experience and I loved that she has a camera stand so you can record your session and look back on which colors look best since it can be a lot to remember read more

My friend really wanted to come here and I felt a little indifferent about joining her. BUT I'm so glad I did! I had so much fun, learning a ton and now I'm excited to invest in myself with all the new things I learned. After meeting Karen, learning that I'm a warm spring light, not what I wanted! I wanted autumn lol Anywho, I feel like now I can be more intentional and mindful when putting together looks and colors. Karen was very kind and funny throughout our time together. Bring photos of your closet and photos your clothes on yourself. Definitely bring your make up bag. Ask questions and enjoy the process! read more

Karen was amazing, so knowledgeable and friendly, and my color analysis session went so well. She first broke down and educated me on color theory and the differences between all the seasonal color tones, and the difference between warm and cool tones. Then, she uses a device to analyze your skin tone and then follows by taking different color swatches from each season to see which fits your skin type the best. She not only goes through the perfect season for your skin tone, but also breaks it down to hair color, shapes of glasses, eyebrow shapes, makeup shades, scents, jewelry, and the type of clothing you should wear. This experience was more than I expected and I left with more knowledge and the confidence to be able to shop for the perfect shades to match my skin tone. She also gives a color card to keep in your wallet to help when you shop too! I would highly recommend this, you will definitely enjoy and feel more confident with your clothing picks to come. read more

My session with Karen was so fun and informative! I can see why her appointments get booked so fast because you get so much out of one session. She presents a PowerPoint slide (that she sends after) with details on each season, a thorough color analysis where she selects your season, best/worst color, hair colors, glasses style and eyebrow shape. She also swatches different lip products to see which lip color looks best on her client. The whole session was 1.5 hours but it went by so fast! She is really kind and explains things very well so I highly recommend coming here for an in-depth color analysis. read more

I've been wanting to do a color analysis for quite a long time and was so excited to finally snag a spot with Karen! I will say, I was a little anxious as I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a lovely time! Karen is so courteous and knowledgeable--I never felt rushed whatsoever during the consultation and she truly educates you on warm/cool tones and all of the seasons, as well as hair styles, scents, etc. Then you sit down in the chair (if you're like me and have bangs and dyed hair, prepared for them to be pulled back and to have your head covered....you will look crazy HAHA) and do the fabric swatches. We even get to record this entire section, so make sure you have phone space! After that, you go over makeup. I truly felt that the price of the experience was matched very well by the quality (and even exceeded my expectations). I feel very prepared to start this next style journey of my life and have Karen to thank for it! read more

Just had my consultation with Karen and it went to well! Not only did she break down all the details I came wanting to know, she gave a great overview of color analysis! The appointment was so fun and so I learned more than I thought I would about myself and what colors, jewelry, and even glasses shape work best for me. Karen herself is also so kind and personable. She made a point to chat with me about things we had in common to make sure I was comfortable the whole time too rather than just staying solely on business. It made the experience 10x more fun and left a bigger impression on me. Would 100% recommend her to others! read more

Karen was so knowledgeable and explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner. She gave an overview of the different seasons first, took a look at the pictures I took of my closet, and went straight to figuring out my season and subtype. Karen was quick and decisive with what looked best - warm, autumn, dark. She also helped record and take pictures of what fabric colors suited me the best. Afterwards, she gave recommendations on hair color, glasses, and eyebrows. We then sat down and tried on lipstick to see which warm shade looked best. Karen was patient and answered my questions thoroughly. She also sent informative slides for deep autumn which includes hair color, hair style, accessories, make up, scents, and fashion style at the end of the session. Thanks for your advice and expert eye! I have a much better understanding now on how I should select my clothes now. read more

Karen was fantastic! My mom and I went this week and were throughly impressed. Karen made sure we could differentiate between warm and cool tones, and went through the different seasons showing the colors, typical styles, elements, makeup and even scents that went with each season. After that we did the analysis and I must say I was surprised to see I was completely off with what I thought were my colors! My mother and I ended up being the same season, but with different tones. Karen was very sweet throughout the entire session, and I would totally recommend anyone who what wants to know what season they are to go to The Ryeon! Thank you, Karen!! read more

Informative and colorful experience! Within 2 hours, Karen gave me and my sister a concise lecture of color theory and personal color analysis. She's personable, accomplished, and professional. I love that she had a presentation as well as printouts of the main topics that she was explaining. She even allowed us to record everything for future reference. And I appreciate the tips on the types of makeup and accessories to complement our tone and season. She also provided links to the beauty products that matches us best! Best takeaway from this is that the knowledge is supposed to be fun! She mentioned that although it's great to present the "whole package"--if it becomes stressful, then don't force it. :) Everything was well planned and executed; and it's definitely worth trying! read more

My friend and I came 5 mins earlier to our appointment, prepared to finally know what colors actually suited us. Karen was super comprehensive and thorough with teaching us everything we needed to know about color analysis. She has credentials from Korea so you know you're in good hands. Also, she had prepared lots of slides and printouts for us to take home so that we didn't need to memorize everything on the spot. She even has a phone stand in place so that you can record the session. Karen goes above and beyond to help us find our best colors and what could be suited for our lifestyle. Time went by too fast! We were there for 2 hours. Make sure to check her Instagram on when slots open up because the slots get filled quick. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend that everyone come to Karen's for this kind of experience at least once in their life (the earlier, the better). read more

My best friend and I did the 2:1 consultation and had a great time! Karen went over color tones with us first so we can understand the difference. She covered which colors look harmonious on us, which season works best for you, which hair color suits you, eyeglass frame shape, perfume scent, which makeup you should wear and not wear etc. The consultation was about two hours and Karen answered every question I had. I now feel more confident in which color choices look best on me and I'm so happy to have finally done something fun just for me! read more

Had such an amazing time with Karen! Went to my session with two of my cousins and we all enjoyed learning about the color analysis for ourselves. I'm a huge kpop and kdrama fan in general and got to talk with Karen about that for a bit, she was so personable, professional, and sweet. The whole process didn't feel as long as it actually was. There's so many elements that go into color analysis and what's cool is that it's not just wardrobe, it also connects with your overall look and vibe/style (I.e. makeup, glasses and eyebrow shape, perfume, hair color) Definitely recommend to book and experience it for yourself Can't wait to incorporate everything I learned to my everyday style to start off this new year. read more

My mom and I came last week and we had a great time! I had done a color analysis before so I thought she might enjoy it as well and she did. I was surprised to find out that even though we were both autumns, we had different colors that looked better on us. Overall, I really enjoyed the activity with my mother and highly recommend it! Karen was very knowledgeable and I left feeling like I really understood why certain colors and styles looked better on me. I have a greater understanding of undertones and how to identify them myself. The most impressive part was the lip color comparison. Karen explained why lip colors can be difficult to match despite knowing your season and helped us find our best shades. After the appointment, I went shopping with my mom and we used what we learned to analyze clothing and makeup! Karen even sends you detailed shopping lists and information regarding your ultimate season. Even now, my mom and I are talking about how much fun we had and discussing what makeup and styles we are incorporating into our everyday looks. Thank you very much for the experience! I definitely feel more prepared to find my personal style. read more

Karen is extremely knowledgeable and thorough when teaching about all seasons. She is kind, and also helps you better understand your season. I'm a light and muted summer! read more

Just had a great time with Karen! Karen has so much knowledge in every aspect of beauty, it was so fun to hear everything she had to say. I came in thinking I was warm toned, and we found out I'm cool toned. She gave me the tools to figure out how to pick shades for clothing and makeup and how they work together to create my best harmony. Would definitely recommend coming to see her! read more

Karen is amazing! She's so fun but also really clear with her analysis. It's so helpful that she gave not just our color palette, but also the second option plus a few others that could work. She also gave us tips on how to pick colors when shopping. Thank you, Karen! read more

I recently went to Karen for color analysis and have been so happy I did! We went as a group of three and she started our session by teaching us about the different seasons. We each had our draping session and Karen used our phones to record it so we could review it later. I found the entire process really fun and informative. Karen is very knowledgeable and sweet. During the session Karen even sampled some make up on each of us to help us see how the right undertone makes a difference. After the session, Karen sent us each an email with information on our season as well as make up recommendations. She even sent a link to her Amazon lists for each color sub-season, which I found super helpful. Now that I know my season and sub-season, I feel more empowered when shopping for clothes or make up. This is a pretty big deal to me as a toddler mom who mostly sits at home in comfy clothes and a minimal make up. This process has helped me regain some confidence and feel more attractive! If you're considering color analysis, I highly recommend Karen! read more

I'm so glad I found Karen! I've been wanting to do color analysis for years, and she is incredibly friendly, kind, helpful, and detailed! She took time to make sure I understood how to recognize colors (cool vs. warm tones), and went through hair color, makeup, glasses shape, etc. I had such a memorable and fun experience, and I highly recommend her! This was completely worth the time and money. It was life changing for me, and I'm grateful that I can now choose clothes and styles that actually compliment me! Thanks so much Karen! read more

Made the drive from San Diego and it was even better than I had hoped. Great service. Friendly. So educational. It's more than someone saying here's your season... she goes into detail and is so thorough on everything from clothes to hair to make up. Fun girls trip! Definitely recommend. read more

Karen was amazing! She was very personable and in-depth with her color analysis, providing lots of information to help curate not only what colors worked best for us but also an overall style that suited us best! She has a warm energy and was willing to help answer any questions we had during the appointment. I liked that she had us use our phones and also take photos of what color choices looked best on us to help with shopping in the future. I personally loved the makeup analysis she did for me as well, and helping sort out the current makeup I already owned into warm and cool tones was insightful too. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend to everyone seeking to find their colors and styling to give you that extra oomph! read more

Wow! This was such an interesting and delightful experience. Karen was incredibly professional, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable about color theory. She walks you through the fundamentals of K-beauty-based personal color analysis and helps you truly understand your unique style. Using over 150 different color draping fabrics, she identifies your skin tone and determines your seasonal type. The process was thorough, eye opening, and honestly amazing. I would absolutely recommend her! read more

My fiancee gifted me a couple's session at The Ryeon, and boy did it not disappoint! Karen was amazing, from providing us with a comprehensive overview of color analysis, theory, styling to the actual analysis itself. It felt like a magic trick to see how different colors impact your overall looks and suit you different. It was also validating to hear that I had been styling myself well in some areas, and to learn where I could expand and what I should avoid. I was also impressed with just how much she covered. It wasn't just clothes, but hair, glasses, makeup, patterns, perfume, jewelry, eyebrow shape, and so much more. It was great to see that the male analysis was just as thorough too! She was very reasonable in explaining that these also aren't strict rules, but to be used as a guide. read more

Karen was very enthusiastic, kind and had a wonderful upbeat energy while explaining and teaching us color theory. I had an amazing day and gained helpful direction into future clothes / Make up shopping! The process is fun and easy, definitely recommend going with friends and bring tons of photos of yourself!

Had a 3:1 session today with Karen and it was great! Karen was very knowledgeable and patient in explaining color analysis. Each of us felt like we had plenty of time as well.

She provides a lot of resources which is super helpful. read more

Had a great time with Karen! Went as a group of 2, and both of us came out feeling like we learned a ton, had a ton of fun, and wished we could do more.

Highly recommend it to anyone curious about a color analysis! read more
