Halogen lamps in general run hotter [by a few hundred degrees K] than ordinary tungsten bulbs. This will result in a slight shift toward the cool side. It may not even be noticeable if you are using color negative film.

If precise color balance is your thing, it's easy to include a color chart in the frame, positioned so that it will be cropped out in the final print. Alternately, you can simply hold the chart where the sitter's face will be and shoot it full frame.

Then adjust printing filtration to match the chart in a test print.

I doubt if it will be necessary, though.
