1. What does a personal stylist do?
A personal stylist helps you curate and refine your wardrobe, ensuring that your clothing choices align with your personal style, body shape, and lifestyle. I provide expert advice on how to put together outfits, shop smarter, and feel confident in what you wear. Whether you need a complete style overhaul, assistance with specific events, or just some guidance on how to refresh your wardrobe, I’m here to help.
2. What should I expect from a styling session?
During a styling session, we’ll discuss your style goals, assess your current wardrobe, and work together to create a look that suits you perfectly. Depending on the service you choose, we might go through your wardrobe, plan outfits, shop for new pieces, or even prepare for a special event. After our session, you’ll receive a personalized outfit lookbook or style guide summarizing everything we went through.
3. How do virtual styling sessions work?
Virtual sessions are conducted over Zoom, allowing you to get personalized style advice from the comfort of your home. You can choose what you’d like to focus on—whether it’s styling specific pieces, packing for a trip, or decluttering your wardrobe. After the session, you’ll receive a detailed style guide with outfit ideas and tips tailored to your needs.
4. Do I need to prepare anything before a session?
For the most effective session, it’s helpful to have an idea of what you want to achieve—whether it’s a complete wardrobe overhaul or just some guidance on how to style certain items. If we’re doing a wardrobe audit or closet cleanse, please ensure all your clothes are in your wardrobe (not in the wash) and easily accessible. I also ask that you pull out your regulars (the items you always wear, whether they’re your favorites or not) and your nevers (the pieces you rarely or never wear, even if you really like them) beforehand. This will allow us to spend more time putting outfits together and less time sorting through everything.
5. I don’t live locally. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely! My Digital Dressing Room service is perfect for clients who aren’t local. We can work together over Zoom, and you’ll still receive the same personalized attention and style guidance as an in-person session.
6. How much do your services cost?
Prices vary depending on the service. For example, the Digital Dressing Room service is $110 per hour, while other packages like the Style Revamp are $640. You can find detailed pricing information on the specific service pages or contact me for a customized quote.
7. How long does a styling session usually take?
Session lengths vary based on the service. A Digital Dressing Room session is billed by the hour, allowing for flexibility depending on your needs. Other services, like a full wardrobe audit or personal shopping session, can take several hours. I’ll work with you to determine the best use of our time based on your goals.
8. Can you help with special occasions or events?
Yes! I offer event styling services to help you look your best for any occasion, whether it’s a wedding, a party, or a work event. We’ll create a look that makes you feel confident and stylish, tailored to the event’s dress code and your personal preferences.
9. What if I don’t know what my style is?
That’s where I come in! During our sessions, we’ll explore your preferences, colouring, lifestyle, and body shape to define a personal style that feels authentically you. I’ll help you discover what works best for you and guide you toward a wardrobe that reflects your unique style.
10. Will you make me get rid of all my clothes?
Not at all! My goal is to help you create a wardrobe that you love and that works for your life. We’ll go through your existing clothes together. I’ll offer suggestions on what to keep, what to donate, and what you might need to add. Ultimately, the decisions are yours, and I’m here to support you in making choices that align with your style goals.
11. Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, I do! Styling sessions make fantastic gifts for a variety of occasions, including Mother’s Day, birthdays, or as a special treat for a daughter, daughter-in-law, or wife who is celebrating a pregnancy or welcoming a new baby. Navigating the big life change of motherhood can often leave you feeling like you’ve lost your sense of self, but a personalized styling session is a wonderful way to help someone reconnect with their style and regain that sense of individuality. Whether it’s finding pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding-friendly fashion or simply getting a confidence boost for the adventures ahead, a gift certificate for my services is a meaningful and thoughtful gift.
