Choosing A Personal Stylist
This means that not only are men and women waking up to the notion that by improving their style they are improving their chances of success in life – fact! It’s proven that by paying more attention to your image and ‘dressing for success’ you’re actually ensuring a greater level of success whether it be career, love or generally enjoying life to the full by feeling more confident in your own skin.
Of course, the growth in the demand for personal stylists has also had a knock on effect in the amount of people wanting to become personal stylists and image consultants. But whilst choice and competition is always good for you, the consumer, it’s more important than ever to make sure you research the market place and select a personal stylist whom you feel matches what you want to get out of the experience. Start by reviewing the web and shortlist 3 in your area.
Look for testimonials on their site as well as how long they have been established. Next, Prepare some questions that are bugging you, here’s a suggestion:
- What is the average age of your clients?
- Are you certified by any industry bodies (e.g. TFIC)?
- What exactly will I get out of the experience?
Then get in contact. Ask them if they’d mind you speaking to 2-3 of their regular clients and then make sure you do! Something else to bear in mind is whether or not they are local to you... do they know all the local shops and boutiques like the back of their hand? It’s a bonus if they do as you’re time will be better spent with them knowing exactly where to take you for particular items and styles that you are after.
A personal stylist is someone you want to work with now and in future so trust is critical. Personal stylists tend to cost around £500 to £1,000 per day (for a good one) so if they are dramatically more then you want to know why. On the flip side, if they are dramatically less are they likely to be any good? A golden rule is whilst price is obviously important, don’t be swayed by this factor on its own!
