FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is flexible based on the means and budget of my client. I try to take a sliding scale approach if circumstances are appropriate for this. Personal image work rates can be less than executive and CEO rates. I offer a reduced rate for retainer clients I work with over time, which offers a savings over individual session rates.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a 30 minute Complimentary Consultation by phone. The first step is generally a Home Session, usually a minimum 4 hours, that includes an indepth personal interview, closet review, assessment and clearing with plan of recommendations made for next actions. Clients with extensive amounts of clothing can expect it may take a full 8 hour day or more to clear extensive closets. I offer a full range of comprehensive services from full head to toe beauty, image and wardrobe makeovers to individual guided shopping sessions for social and business wardrobes, and speciality areas such as eyewear, resort, travel, and bridal consulting.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained with one of the original founders of the field of image consulting, Mr. Robert Pante, author of "Dress for Success" and together for several years we led all day workshops in San Francisco for hundreds of clients that flew in to attend the seminar from across the country. I founded my own company, started delivering my own very successful workshops and seminars and lived in San Francisco among the most sophisticated retail stores and speciality boutiques in the country, specializing in head to toe makeovers, drawing upon the City's hand picked top talent in hair stylists and make up artists. For a decade I worked with some of the nation's top couturiers, learning fashion design from the inside out, literally designing custom wardrobes for some of my clients. I am experienced in every level of fashion, from retail to custom, casual to cocktail, beach to black tie to boardroom.
