Meet Nicola Johnstone, personal stylist and image consultant
I'm an image consultant, personal stylist and colour analyst helping women in Richmond upon Thames and across West London rediscover the colours and style that suit them best, with an approach that brings colour, complexion and care together.

How Soul to Skin began
After a move to London in 2010, I decided to go back to the industry I love: nurturing and guiding women to feel good about themselves, especially through the peri and post menopause years. That is when Soul to Skin Women's Holistic was created, a small business in Richmond upon Thames.
I trained as a holistic image consultant and later add a certification in Menopause, Hormones, Skin Ageing and diet. Today I help women transform their style with colour analysis, personal styling, wardrobe audit, make up and skincare tuition, including guidance and tips throughout the process.
Nicola
When you feel good about how you look, you stop feeling invisible and start feeling confident and radiant.
My goal
To help women rediscover the colours and style that suit them best, so they know exactly what to wear and feel good about themselves again.
My vision
I believe an outside to in approach is a game changer. Colour, clothes and skincare, together with time to feel calm and balanced, help a woman feel seen and ready to light up her look, particularly through menopause and other big life changes.
What makes Soul to Skin different?
Most stylists look after the wardrobe. I look after the whole picture: colour, clothes and care, working together from the outside in.
The whole woman, not only the wardrobe
Colour analysis, styling, and make up in one practice, backed by nutrition training, so advice about your clothes, confidence, and wellness fits together.
Made for women over 40
Built around the peri and post menopause years, when skin, hormones and confidence change and a woman can feel invisible.
Personal, never templated
Your undertone, proportions, lifestyle and personality shape everything we do, at a relaxed, nurturing and unhurried pace.
The quality of every service
Colour, complexion and care work best together. Each session is professional, personal and never rushed.
1 hour, or 2 hours with make up
Colour analysis
Professional colour draping using the detailed 12-season method, matched to your undertone, contrast and depth. You see for yourself which shades flatter your skin, eyes and hair, from soft summer blues to rich autumn spice.
You take home a fabric colour swatch fan and a digital PDF report of your session.
I hold also a certificate in Menopause, Hormones, Skin Ageing and Diet, so during make up and skincare tuition I can advise on how midlife changes affect your skin. I do it gently and never prescriptively.

How I look after my clients
Many women come to me in midlife, during menopause or after a big life change such as divorce or dating again, when identity, self esteem and confidence have taken a knock. Others are in the corporate world and want more presence, polish and professionalism. Whatever brought you here, you are welcome.
A free discovery call first
We talk through what you would like to change and choose the session that fits, with no pressure.
