What the company discloses
- Color Street publishes a 2025 income disclosure for U.S. and Canada Stylists, covering March 2025 through September 2025.
- The disclosure reports a weighted-average annual income of $965 excluding fees and $919 including starter-kit and monthly eSuite fees.
- The disclosure says the figures exclude other business expenses such as advertising, samples, training, rent, travel, and telecommunication.
What is not clear from public disclosure
- Net income after all ordinary expenses, because only some fees are included in one set of figures.
- How many people joined, did not become paid Stylists, or stopped during the year.
- How typical outcomes differ for people selling part time versus people pursuing leadership.
Regulatory/public record
- We did not locate a company-specific court or regulator action about Color Street income-opportunity claims in the public sources reviewed for this page as of 2026-06-29.
- FTC business guidance applies generally to multi-level marketing earnings claims and says disclosures should clearly explain who is included and excluded.
Questions to ask before joining
- Does the figure I am shown include starter-kit and eSuite fees?
- Which expenses are excluded from the disclosure?
- What did typical new Stylists keep after all costs?
- Can I earn meaningful net income from retail sales without building a team?
- What can I cancel or return, and by what deadline, if I leave?
Is Color Street a pyramid scheme?
People often search whether a company like this is a pyramid scheme or a scam. This page does not apply those labels: whether a company meets a legal definition is a matter for regulators and courts, not a label to settle during a recruiting conversation.
A more useful first question is where the money comes from: whether pay depends on real sales to customers outside the business, how much depends on recruiting, and what participants keep after expenses. See how to evaluate the pyramid-scheme question before relying on a label either way. Any regulator or court record specific to Color Street is summarized in the public-record section above, with attribution.
Common costs to check:
- Product, samples, shipping, and taxes.
- Starter kits, renewal fees, websites, apps, or back-office tools.
- Training, events, tickets, travel, meals, lodging, and childcare.
- Advertising, giveaways, displays, packaging, or payment fees.
- Licensing, exam prep, background checks, or required continuing education.
- Unsold inventory and unpaid time.
Gross income is not the same as money kept after these costs.
