FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing depends on client request. I charge a flat rate by the package: $250 color and shape consult. Closet audit $500 and up. Personal shopping$350 total for half day that includes a 2-hour preshop and then 2 hours with the client. I can also do custom programs for you based on your needs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
One of the first things we do is chat or text about what the client wants. Once we agree on services needed, I send the client a detailed questionnaire to learn about the client and his/her styling goals.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I take at least 1-2 continuing education classes a year, most through AICI. I have trained with the School of Style: Men's Wear, Personal Styling and the Stylist Certification Program (more than 120 hours). I am a member of the Association of Image Consultants and serve on the Chicago Midwest Chapter of AICI as VP- membership and President elect 2019. I have reached the Certified Image Consultant level which means I passed an exam and had an extensive portfolio approved by AICI. To maintain Certified I complete several hours of continuing education. I also worked in the retail industry and am a trained makeup artist (Brenda Sotolongo Studios).
