Frequently Asked Questions
Who are your clients?
My clients are women, 40 and older, who:
Yes, we will talk about your hair and I’ll recommend possible color and style options. If needed, I will refer you to a stylist to ensure you get the best haircut and color. If you wish, I will join you for a consultation with the stylist.
How much money will I need to spend on clothes for a shopping trip with you?
Your clothing budget is entirely up to you. There is no minimum amount required for clients to allocate for purchasing clothes. Regardless of your budget, I will pull a selection of clothing to allow as many choices as possible to meet your needs. As you try on clothes, we’ll determine which garments work best for you. You are under no obligation to buy anything. Fortunately, my clients usually find more great clothes than they can afford so I help them zero in on the pieces that will provide the most value for their dollar.
Where do you shop with clients?
Each client is different so I select stores based on your needs, style preference and budget.
I hate shopping at malls, do you know of smaller stores and boutiques where we can shop?
Yes, I can take you shopping at local boutiques. Just remember that shopping at boutiques will take longer since we have to travel between stores. It may also be harder to find specific items of clothing to meet your needs since boutiques often have less inventory than larger stores. Don’t get me wrong, boutiques are a good choice for finding unique accessories and garments to complement your basic wardrobe.
I only shop at discount stores like Ross and Marshalls. Will you shop with me at these stores?
Unfortunately, I don’t shop at discount stores. It is very time consuming to find real bargains at these stores so it isn’t the best use of your time with me. I am, however, a dedicated bargain shopper and often find great sales on the items you need. My goal is to get the best value for your shopping dollar on every garment and accessory you purchase.
Do you earn a commission off my clothing purchases?
No, I do not earn a commission on anything you purchase. It’s important for my clients to know that all my recommendations are completely unbiased and based solely on what is best for them.
