FASHION-WARDROBE IMAGE CONSULTING PRICES BELOW: ***Stylist Consulting Services Offered in a Package or Customized options*** I begin by creating a profile about you (2 hours). The process involves conducting a (1 hour) face to face/FaceTime or Skype call. Next phase- wardrobe audit (3-4 hours). I go through every piece of clothing with my clients-having you try on items as needed (this can be via facetime). Unwanted bags of clothes will go to good will or other not-for-profits.*The final step is a stylist shopping session. This is where I change your world! I pre-shop in person for my clients for (2 hours) before we meet up to try on items. Keep in mind-additional hours maybe needed. If you prefer online shopping I will search (2-3) hours and select items for you to review and try on at home. **Based on Census results collected from style questionnaires-a typical individual spends between a minimum of $2,500 and $5,000 a year on clothing, shoes and accessories. 85% of women have clothes in their wardrobes that don't fit (I personally think it's closer to 100%) and of the clothes we do have, we only wear between 20% and 30% of what's currently in our wardrobes. Some clothes still have the tags on, some we're waiting to fit us again, some we never actually looked good in, but we bought them anyway and don't want to throw them away because they have never been worn! All in all my styling services are worth every dollar because after we establish your new wardrobe of clothes you will possess the "WOW" factor! Also, keep these figures in mind-if you're spending around $3,000 a year on clothes and only wearing 30% of your wardrobe, you've just wasted $2,000. And that's why a stylist isn't too expensive. In fact my services will save you money! You'll actually end up with more to wear while spending less.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will contact you to introduce myself, as well as set-up a time conduct a skin consult via FaceTime or at the trial session (if requested) so we can discuss your current make-up and skincare regime...that way you can disclose any skin issues, allergies and/or sensitivities you may be experiencing. And from there-we can develop a comprehensive plan to get your skin prepped and the product you need before the day of your event. Also, for fashion consulting we will discuss colors, patterns and brands that flatter your skin tone and body shape, etc.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My passion for cosmetics were honed throughout my on-air TV career. I was afforded the opportunity to learn from some of the most brilliant celebrity makeup artists that came into the TV studio to train on-air talent on how to best apply makeup for our shows. And, so the MUA's caught us up to speed on the latest and greatest makeup techniques, trends and products. I paid close attention and immediately discovered that I possessed a talent in applying makeup. It quickly caught the attention of my colleagues and the MUA's that came in. I was humbled to say the least by the compliments I would receive, and, straight away I became the go-to makeup artist for all my on-air co-workers. I was juggling getting my stories done for the show and then running off to the beauty prep room to apply not only my makeup, but my co-anchors as well! Lol! It was high-octane action! But a blast no less! So, my MMA prowess quickly turned from a hobby in studio to a full blown side career. In turn, I keep up on the latest, greatest and secret beauty trends and techniques by working with fellow beauty influencers and my celebrity MUA mentor.
