FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is straightforward and transparent. I offer a flat rate of $40/hour for styling services, with no hidden costs. While my rates are currently less competitive than industry averages, this is intentional, as 100% of the proceeds directly fund The Élève Initiative, my 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Special discounts may be available for long-term collaborations or referrals. By choosing my services, you’re not only investing in your personal style but also contributing to empowering underserved communities by providing access to professional attire and styling.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process begins with a complimentary online styling questionnaire that helps me understand your unique style, preferences, and goals. The questionnaire covers details like your wardrobe needs, favorite colors, preferred fits, and any specific occasions or challenges you’d like to address. Once you’ve completed the questionnaire, I’ll review your responses and schedule a one-on-one virtual consultation to discuss them in detail. During this session, we’ll refine your style goals, address any questions, and create a plan tailored to your needs. From there, I’ll curate personalized outfit suggestions or provide guidance on building a functional wardrobe. This can include shopping recommendations, closet edits, or styling advice based on your requirements. Feedback is encouraged at every step to ensure the results align with your vision. Throughout the process, I prioritize transparency and collaboration, ensuring you feel confident and heard at every stage.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, specializing in styling, trend forecasting, and fashion consulting. For the past 8 years, I worked in retail tech, gaining an in-depth understanding of consumers’ online shopping behaviors. I’ve worked with more than 100 clients in person and virtually, continuously expanding my knowledge through hands-on experience and industry seminars. Additionally, I’ve studied trend forecasting extensively and stay up-to-date with all current fashion trends, ensuring my clients always receive relevant and forward-thinking advice.
