Isn't having your own personal stylist an

indulgent luxury reserved for the rich and famous?

The majority of my clients are women with average clothing budgets, leading fairly "normal"

lives. They use my services as they would those of a hairdresser or beauty therapist;

outsourcing to someone more experienced in the field than themselves. While some clients

may use my services on an ongoing bases, many find that after a couple of consultations

they are well equipped with the skills needed to maintain their new wardrobes on their own.

To make my services more accessible, consultations with a value higher than R1000

may be paid for over two months and I also run seasonal specials at discounted rates

so keep an eye out for these! [more...]

 

I would love to hire a personal stylist, but don't

have a huge budget for shopping. Is this a problem?

I am happy to shop wherever your budget allows - from chain stores to boutiques.

Often clients have more wearable clothing than they realise, so the addition of a few

key items and inexpensive accessories might be enough to give your wardrobe a re-

vamp.Most of my clients find that over time they actually save money as they learn to

purchase wisely and make fewer and fewer costly bad buys.

 

Where do consultations take place?

All consultations take place in our studio in Claremont, Cape Town, except for wardrobe

consultations which take place in your home, and shopping trips which take place in and

around Cape Town, depending on your needs. Travel costs will be charged for consultations

30km or more out of Cape Town.

 

How long do consultations take?

Times indicated for consultations are an estimate and may vary according to your specific

needs and size of wardrobe. Styling packages or services with an estimated time over six

hours are best spread over two or three consultations as it is a lot to take in on one day

and shopping trips can be quite exhausting.

 

I work during the week, do you offer weekend appointments?

Yes, I am happy to see clients on Saturdays, or for late night shopping appointments (till

9pm) during the week.

 

I would like to treat a friend to a

consultation, how do I go about arranging this?

You may purchase a gift certificate for any of the styling or make-up services, or alternatively

I can put a package together with her specific needs in mind. Your certificate will be valid for

a year and can be emailed, or beautifully packaged and delivered for a truly indulgent gift!

 

Do I need to lose weight before I book a consultation?

I believe that having a sense of style is NOT dependent on your weight. No matter

what your size; choosing the correct clothing styles, fabrics and colours for your

proportions and shape is what's important.

 

Should I have a clearout before my wardrobe planning session?

Definitely not - that's my job! Seeing the mistakes you have made in clothing choices is a

good opportunity for me to show you why they are mistakes and how not to make them

again when next you are shopping. It is also good to see how your wardrobe looks on a

"normal" day so I can tell if you need help with storage solutions and organizing.
