Gretchen Kaltenbach
Master Trained Analyst & Educator, Founder
Color has always been at the center of my life. My mother owned a crafts store, Joanie’s Arts & Crafts, and I spent my youth around artistic people with ample opportunities to explore creativity and color. I developed an early fascination with the way mixing different hues could make endless combinations of tints, tones and shades.
The Color Match Method combines my expertise of color theory, skin tones, makeup artistry, and extensive advanced Color Analysis training into a method that can easily be adopted by Salon Professionals. Now you can benefit from my decades of experience and learn The Color Match Method yourself in just a few days! Your return on investment is practically a guarantee. Everyone is talking about it, and you can offer it to your clients “easily” with this class.
In creating The Color Match Method product line, I saw a major gap between what color analysts are taught, what they teach their clients, and what’s actually available in the market. Many professional tools were expensive, yet prone to fading or wear over time — making them unreliable for long-term use. For clients, the take-home resources were often confusing, sometimes even contradicting their analysis session or with colors so specific that they'll never be found when shopping.
I set out to design products that are durable, accurate, and aligned with both the science of color analysis and the client’s learning experience, so professionals can work with tools they can trust.
