Frequently Ased Questions - Personal Styling & Image Consulting
​
Looking for a personal stylist, wardrobe stylist, or image consultant in NYC? I offer customized personal shopping and styling services designed to fit your lifestyle, budget, and image goals.
What areas do you serve for personal styling?
I provide personal styling and personal shopping services throughout New York City (all five boroughs), as well as New Jersey, Westchester, Long Island, and Connecticut. Virtual services are also available.
Can I afford a personal stylist?
Yes. You always set the budget. As your personal shopper, I curate stores, brands, and sales that align with your spending comfort level—whether you’re shopping contemporary, luxury, or somewhere in between.
​
​
What happens if I don’t like the clothes?
​
Your satisfaction is my priority. If we don’t find pieces you love (which is rare), we’ll continue shopping until we do—at no additional cost. My goal is for you to leave with a wardrobe you genuinely enjoy wearing.
​
​
What if my personal style is different from yours?
​
That’s completely fine. My role as an image consultant is to understand your personal style and lifestyle—not impose my own. I specialize in translating your aesthetic into clothing that feels authentic and confident.
​
​
Will I receive complete outfits or just individual pieces?
​
You’ll always receive complete, styled outfits, not random items. Every piece is selected to work together so you know exactly how to wear and style what you purchase.
​
​
Who do you typically work with?
​
I work with professionals, executives, creatives, entrepreneurs, and women managing busy lives who want to look polished, confident, and intentional—without wasting time or money.
​
​
What is your approach to personal styling?
​
​
My approach is fully customized. I create wardrobes based on your body type, color palette, lifestyle, image goals, and personal preferences, ensuring your clothing supports how you want to look and feel.
​
​
Why should I hire you instead of another stylist or agency?
​
With over 15 years of experience, I offer more than shopping. I educate my clients on why certain styles, colors, and silhouettes work—so you gain confidence and clarity long after our sessions end.
​
​
What is the difference between a stylist and an image consultant?
​
A stylist typically focuses on trends, brands, or events.
As a certified image consultant, I’m trained in color analysis, body type assessment, and image strategy, using clothing as a tool to communicate confidence, credibility, and personal brand.
​
​
What stores do you shop at?
​
Store selection depends on your budget, size, style, and goals. I shop boutiques, department stores, and designer showrooms. For full wardrobe overhauls, department stores are often the most efficient starting point.
​
​
Do you offer evening and weekend appointments?
​
Yes. Personal styling is my full-time profession, and I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends.
​
​
What is your cancellation policy?
​
Appointments may be canceled up to 24 hours in advance with no charge.
​
​
Do you offer personal styling gift cards?
​
Yes. I offer both printed luxury gift cards mailed to you and digital gift cards you can email or print.
​
​
Do you offer à la carte styling services?
​
Yes. À la carte services include color analysis, body type assessment, and virtual outfit styling using a wardrobe app.
