Introduction: Hi my name is Barbra Horowitz of Intuitive Personal Styling & Guidance. 💫 If you are reading this right now, you have probably checked off that you are interested in a wardrobe audit, and image assessment! This is a complimentary service I offer to get to know you, your current wardrobe, and lifestyle. It lasts about 40 minutes. I will give you a call and learn all about you and unpack your request for Styling with me. Then I will meet you full length remotely where you will then take me on a tour of your current wardrobe. Sound great? If you have instantly booked me, your Closet Tour is how we prepare for your session which can be hosted either before the date you chose or on the date you chose. 2024 is the year I celebrate 20 years as a personal stylist, and for a very limited time. I am offering your first two hours at my 2004 rates of $175 an hour. That is over $125 an hour savings. Then enjoy an additional $100 off per hour at $200 an hour. My normal client rates are $300 an hour. This offer is only available on Thumbtack. The great news is you don’t have to buy a large $$$ package upfront, and there is no 3-6 month commitment. Take your styling step by step versus a rather large entry point of $3,000 -$5,000 -and even $10,000 dollar packages, and I am more experienced as you will read below. You can even work with me under my wardrobe intelligence arm hourly. Remote styling with me moves at an accelerated pace. Regardless of where you call home. You want to hire your stylist by experience, not by geography. Meaning you do not need a local stylist! You need the BEST! It is just as easy to turn on Zoom as it is to open your front door. British Vogue wrote about my remote styling services in 2008. This is how long I have been styling remotely. Remote styling is not a pivot for me. 👇 Take a look at my extensive styling experience over the past 20 years.🌟 I have worked in 12 states in person, around the country, and pockets of the world in person, and remote . Here is how individual sessions usually work. Step 1 REBOOT*RESTYLE*ASSESS Release and Remove irrelevant clothing from your closet. Create relevant outfits from your current wardrobe. Text screenshots of Restyled looks to your cell phone. Create a list of exciting pieces needed to elevate, and update your wardrobe and your life. Step 2 CUSTOM CURATED ONLINE SHOPPING Together we send the dressing room to your home of 💯% returnable pieces. I shop for you and you check out. No commitment except to wait for your FITTING/STYLING, and get excited. Shopping sessions are approximately 2-3 hours. Much more efficient and financially fiscal than in person shopping experiences. Step 3 FUTURE SELF FITTING/STYLING Together we will identify curated pieces with flexibility and longevity in multiple categories for your life. I will take pictures of all complete styled looks, and text you screenshots. Leaving you with the perfect FUTURE SELF capsule wardrobe. You can also work with me via text only, if you are just looking for advice on daily outfits. My services include: Conference/Panel/Speaking Date Night Gifting Styling-Birthdays/Holidays Going back to the office - Pandemic/Pregnancy Life Shifts - Divorce to Dating Life Moment Styling/Events Remote Photo Shoot Styling Work From Home/Stay At Home Parent Trip Styling -Vacation/Work About me ~~~~~~~~~ I have been very fortunate to be covered in major press outlets such as British Vogue, Daily Candy, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles magazine, LA Weekly, In Style - People Magazine/Stylewatch, and many more. Pure Wow also covered my remote styling services. I am one of the first remote stylists and one of the very first stylists on Thumbtack. I am the published author of Closet Control published by Sterling Press in 2007. I had a very early style podcast produced by California Psychics called Fashion 411 - It’s never just about the clothing. After 8 years of handling and developing top models, Some that are huge stars today. Once I left the modeling industry, I decided to take what I learned as a top agent and apply it to everyone. I began my career at my father’s menswear store at 10 years old. I worked in retail for over 10 years for well known retailers such as: Contempo Casuals, Ann Taylor, Nordstrom, Guess, Lancôme. I have a great eye as well as knowing what clothing should cost. I shop clients online through planet 🌎 friendly resale and sale versus retail. My father’s store was high end menswear at wholesale prices. Follow me over on @intuitivepersonalstyling on Instagram where I share (in my stories) style, and planet friendly style, and styling tips. Congratulations working with me already makes you part of the solution around owning a more sustainable wardrobe for yourself, and our 🌎 Welcome to the circular economy by Restyling your closet first. Mindfully shopping second. This is exactly how I will curate the pieces that we will acquire for you. Fashion is the number two offender to our environment behind agriculture. It’s important to resell what you remove and understand how to flip your wardrobe. I am based at the beach in Los Angeles, California after living in Hollywood for over 15 years. People magazine called me Hollywood’s personal stylist. Without a doubt, I have dressed my share of celebrities. Styling is the perfect portal to your intentions and manifesting energy. I will add efficiency and value to your life coupled with immense joy. Your wardrobe tells your story of where you have been, how you were raised, and how your family participated in getting dressed. Your struggle is not imagined. Good news is, fashion and styling are my families story. It’s second nature. It is intuitive for me. It’s 47 years of my 57 years. So Why do I have a longtime career as a personal stylist? One word: "Never." "I NEVER would have bought that." "I NEVER would have put that together." "I NEVER would have thought of that" I have consulted for boutiques and was one ☝️ of the very first upcyclers of reworked tee shirts from Goodwill with a Custom cut T shirt line called Rigged Tee Shirt Couture. Traveling the sample sale circuit to Chicago, New York, London, and San Francisco and carried in major boutiques. I was hired by brands like Air Jordan, Forever 21, Nike, Skyy vodka to cut up custom tops from oversized branded T-shirts for the brands guests at launch parties, movie premieres, private parties. Barbra recalls how the people around her inspired the decision to become a professional stylist. “My cousin Betsy came to me one day, explaining, ‘Barbra, I feel good on the inside, I want to match it up on the outside. Can you help me with that thing you do in the closets?’ I answered, ‘The family parlor tricks?’ My mom has been selling her and our clothing way before eBay, and moving furniture and cutting up clothing were sort of the family mantra,” she shares. “Add in my father owning a high-end menswear store at a discount. Watching a tailor custom-fit suits didn’t hurt my understanding for fit as one of the most important elements of style.” According to Barbra, simply style and fashion are about development—what you don’t know, learn, and what you do know, teach. “This is how the family parlor tricks became a business, and a book by Sterling Press called Closet Control,” she says. *interview excerpted from Southbay Magazine

Barbra is excellent. Responsive, direct, professional and fun to work with. I called her last minute and she helped me choose my dress for my 40th birthday party in less than 2 hours and entirely by txt messages. She found for me the right store to go to in Salt Lake City. She chose dresses for me to try on online. She looked at my pictures from the store and provided feedbacks and recommendation on what to and not to choose. I ended up with a gorgeous classy and sexy black dress, which fit me perfectly and was also not expensive at all. Everyone at the party commented so positively about my beautiful dress and my overall look that night. I will hire Barbra again for wardrobe consulting in the near future. Highly recommended.

I hired Barbara as a gift for my wife’s 40th Birthday. These are her words. “Becoming a mum can be a bit of a mind f$&k when it comes to your identity. One day you are “you” and then in a split second you become something wholly other… you become “Mum” and all your identifiers are scattered to the wind. The “ how to”of putting the pieces back together in a coherent way can’t be found in a book and I can honestly say I was totally lost, and the external manifestation of this for me definitely played out in my wardrobe. I was hiding behind layers of oversized clothes and immature clothes that didn’t speak to the vision I had of myself… a confident and strong mother, wife and woman. It was chaos. My wardrobe restyling process with Barbara cracked me wide open. It was an incredibly vulnerable process and I am going to be honest I wanted to pull the rip chord at one point because I felt so raw… but here’s the thing, the raw feeling was a direct result of being truly seen by Barbara. She was brutally honest in the most loving way. Brene Brown once said that the most compassionate people have boundaries of steel, and Barbara certainly embodies that sentiment. She held my hand firmly throughout this process and I can honestly say I felt reborn. Her grace, humour and kindness are unmatched and empowered me to rediscover my love of styling and come back home to myself. I am forever grateful. “

As a single male trying to re-enter the dating scene, Barbra is AMAZING. My wardrobe overhaul has made a huge difference in the energy I put off, and how people respond to me. LET BARBRA DO HER WORK! Go in with an open mind, she makes great selections and I really like the clothes I'm in. Before, I attracted the wrong type of people, and women were frequently uncomfortable or rejected me out of hand. It was a night and day switch. I've been approached by women who needed someone to help keep them safe, and they seem to be naturally attracted to me. Some of my favorite moments I've had from passerby: Gay guy: "Oh, he's definitely not gay." Woman at club: "Dude, I love your energy." I'm getting checked out, get smiles all the time, and look FORWARD to getting dressed in the morning.

2023 became my year when I hired Barbara! Not only did I loose weight with her health tips, but I was able to wear outfits I wasn't able to wear for over 10 years. 2022 was very traumatic for me, her intuitive approach helped me connect my beautiful self I wasn't able to see at the time. I needed to get back on my feet asap to run my business; I'm thankful for her honesty, assertiveness, wisdom & quick approach in her styling that helped me start my year off right...and continues. She got to know me and my business during her closet edit sessions, it was truly a beautiful business-styled wardrobe, curated by Barbara, tailored for ME <3

Barbra is an excellent stylist! While she listens to your style/likes/dislikes, she also pushes you out of your comfort zone! Given I’m so used to wearing the same boring things, I was pleasantly surprised by how much of my edit I liked & ended up keeping! Excited to wear my new wardrobe! Thanks Barbra!
