  • Why do I need a Personal Stylist?
    In today's world, we are more frequently and consistently judged on our outward appearance. Therefore, having a well-curated polished wardrobe can be hugely beneficial in both personal and professional scenarios. Whether you are C.E. O. MOM, Busy Professional, First Lady, a career change, or a new job, working towards a promotion, searching for your soulmate, or simply wanting to stand out among your peers, the way you look will ultimately play a significant role in your success. A Personal Stylist will polish your image and appearance and provide professional advice on creating looks that work best for you.
  • How will personal styling help me?
    My goal is for you to be empowered to look your best in any situation life throws and give you freedom in your skin. I also want to help to get your closet in tip-top shape so that you can have more enjoyable mornings or those prep times before a night out on the town! While not always the case, Fashion Stylists are usually hired for editorial shoots, Personal Stylists for individuals.
  • Who is your typical client?
    The budget and comfort level of a client is of critical importance. Think of Personal Styling as an investment towards enhancing your image and presenting the best version of yourself to the world. For example, for a one-on-one styling and consultation with me, my current rate is $150 for 2 hours, with a free consultation. It is already more reasonable than the current market rate, which is at least $250 per hour or a $15000 flat fee, followed by multiple add-ons for every service offered!
  • Do you offer any discounts?
    Yes. As a repeat client, you get a 15% discount on all future à la carte services and packages. In addition, there is also a 10% discount for new clients who come in via referrals (recommended by prior clients).
  • How much will it cost me?
    The budget and comfort level of a client is of critical importance. Think of Personal Styling as an investment towards enhancing your image and presenting the best version of yourself to the world. For example, for a one-on-one styling and consultation with me, my current rate is $150 for 2 hours, with a free consultation. It is already more reasonable than the current market rate, which is at least $250 per hour or a $15000 flat fee, followed by multiple add-ons for every service offered!
  • What modes of payment do you accept?
    Cash, PayPal, Stripe, or personal checks are acceptable. If you are paying by check, we will schedule your appointment as soon as the payment clears. You will receive detailed invoicing for every service provided.
  • How Long is My appointment?
    You will receive an estimate based on your initial consultation. Still, the time you allow for your appointment is ultimately up to you. 2 – 6 hours is generally a good starting point. Still, if your project is more involved (personal shopping, complete wardrobe overhaul, on-site consultation), it is best to allow extra time.
  • What if I need help shopping but cannot Meet in Person?
    You can opt for a Virtual Consultation. Through digital and electronic media, you will have a one-on-one consultation and learn how to utilize items already in your closet. Your consultation will include an in-depth analysis of your clothing and accessories (be prepared to take lots of photos!), suggestions about what to keep and toss, and a shopping list (with personalized store recommendations) to help you fill in the blanks. There will be a follow-up consultation for all Styling services, where we create outfits by mixing any new purchases with the existing ones in your closet. However, if Closet Audits are virtual, a 4- 8 hour minimum is needed to see the clothing and fabrics up close to establish their practicality.
  • How does Stylist on Call work?
    To receive styling advice and recommendations as needed, you can pay a monthly fee and access your Stylist (me!) through Facetime/Skype, phone calls, texts, and emails. On the call, Stylist is extremely helpful when you need style advice. Or have an emergency after hours/weekend or Holidays. However, this service is not inclusive of in-person consultations.
  • What can I expect from a Personal Shopping experience?
    Lots of fun and enjoyment while exploring Sacramento and the surrounding area's various shopping neighborhoods, trying out clothing from multiple stores, and having detailed guidance about what to buy and where. We will cover everything from clothing to accessories, shoes, and jewelry! We will shop at stores that cater to your budget and lifestyle and find the looks that bring out the best in your personality. I will review these stores we visit beforehand to keep things speedy and efficient during your trip. As a thank-you gift, a complimentary coffee, tea, or smoothie comes with your package during your shopping trip. If you book a Personal Shopping trip for over three hours, there will be a non-billable lunch
  • What information do you require from me?
    The basics include age, height, weight, and measurements, surface details about your job and lifestyle. Your favorite colors and pieces of clothing/accessories; and your budget parameters (so we can work within your comfort zone). All information provided is kept strictly confidential. If you've signed up for a virtual consultation, please be prepared to offer adequate photographic references. You might also ask to take a full-length shot in a pair of tights/tank tops, so I can evaluate your body type and work to its advantage.
  • How often should I opt for Personal Styling?
    However, suppose you have budget or time restrictions as often as you want. In that case, I recommend hiring a Personal Stylist at least 1 - 2 times a year, preferably at the onset of a seasonal change, after significant weight loss/gain, or simply before attending a major event (e.g., a wedding).
  • What is a capsule wardrobe?
    Great question! A capsule wardrobe is a carefully curated collection of pieces (usually about 10-20) that work well together to create various outfits for your lifestyle.
  • What if I don't have much money for a new wardrobe?
    I get it! Believe it or not, as I Stylist, I am cheap. I don't love spending much money on clothes. However, I am very budget conscience. Thus, I teach you how to get more creative use out of your clothes and how to shop strategically on a budget.
  • Do I have to overhaul my wardrobe completely?
    Not at all. Overhauling the entire wardrobe can be expensive and stressful. Instead, working with what you already have is more important--enhancing your existing wardrobe by adding Foundation necessary pieces and guiding you on the best ways to accessorize and improvise. Our Stylist will educate you on the DON'Ts of your wardrobe, but it is entirely up to you whether to toss or keep that clothing. However, you should follow the guidelines to derive the most advantage from your styling consultation. Think of it as your closet's "Spring Cleaning"; you will only create space for newer, more flattering pieces.
  • Can I bring my significant other/best friend/mom to my appointment?
    Please do not! The styling sessions are for you to experience one-on-one with you, and such appointments can be most productive without family members or friends in attendance. Remember, this is time devoted to YOU.
  • Are your services in-person or online?
    I offer both in-person and online services.
  • What if I don't look like you?
    Great! I love to work with all kinds of women of different shapes, sizes, styles, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds.
  • I'm trying to lose weight. Should I wait till I reach my goal of working with a stylist?
    I get where you are coming from, as I've seen my weight go down and up and down again. However, don't let your weight stop you from investing in yourself, loving your body now, and putting your best foot forward. I help women learn how to flatter their bodies now and dress for fluctuating weight. That way, you can have confidence right now instead of waiting until you lose weight. We help you find the asset in your body, so weight is never an issue. Also, in our work together, you don't have to purchase a new entire wardrobe, only if you want to!
  • What is this going to be like?
    Our goal is to create outfits with the clothes from your closet that have heads turn when you walk into rooms for various occasions. P.S. My goal is to help you unleased your magic. Indeed, you are magical!
  • I am a mom; I don't need to have style, right?
    Of course, you do! I am a mom, and I can tell you that showing up as the best version of yourself, having confidence, and walking in the freedom to be YOU is an excellent example for your child (ren.) So, we can start your styling off by fine-tuning your mommy style--chic and comfortable.
  • What if I have a different style than you?
    That's awesome! I am not here to transfer my style to you. I am here to help you discover YOUR unique personal style and help you translate it into your wardrobe.
  • I don't live in New York. Can you help me?
    Of course! Look over my virtual services. You can boost your style from the comfort of your home anywhere in the world!
  • Where are the consultations and sessions held?
    In-person sessions and consultations at the client's home and virtual sessions via video chat.
  • How far do you travel?
    I will travel up to 30 miles in surrounding areas in Sacramento, Rocklin, Roseville, and Elk-grove regions for in-person sessions.
  • Okay, I signed up! What happens next?
    There will be an initial consultation (either in person or via email/phone), where we talk about your lifestyle, fashion choices, style preferences, et cetera. Then, suppose you have signed up for a Closet Audit or any of the other similar packages. In that case, the next step will be sorting through your existing wardrobe and setting aside anything that might be outdated or unflattering -- this is what we would refer to as the DON'Ts in your closet. After weeding out the DON'Ts, we will work together to help you determine how to utilize the pieces left in your closet. First, it will teach you how to accessorize, mix, and match the items you already own in new and unexpected ways. Next, we will educate you about any foundation clothing/accessory staples lacking in your current wardrobe. Then, we will schedule a shopping trip to buy the foundation pieces of clothing that will complete and complement the ones remaining in your closet.
  • How do we get started?
    I am so excited that you are taking this step for yourself! You can get started by booking your service(s) here. I will then send you a welcome email containing your Style Questionnaire and a link to a scheduler to set up your sessions and any other information you need. I look forward to working with you!
  • My question is still not answered!?
    That is perfectly fine! Feel free to contact us with more questions!
