Frequently asked questions

Image is the set of beliefs that we have about someone or something. It may be the impressions we form when meeting someone for the first time, or it may be an individuals or company’s reputation that has developed over time. Nutri-Style, Nutrition & Image Consultants Singapore specialize in teaching people and corporations to make the best possible impression as well as project an image that they are comfortable and confident with.

What is an image consultant or fashion stylist?

An image consultant / fashion stylist gives people advice that will help them achieve what they want; whether it is to get a new job, to make a good impression, or simply to feel good about themselves. However, image is more than physical appearance; in addition to how someone looks, people also form impressions based on how that person talks and behaves. An image consultant might also consult with clients about verbal and nonverbal communication as well as etiquette. In addition to consulting with clients, image consultants typically have a network of strategic partners to refer clients to, such as hair stylists, makeup artists, dieticians, dentists, personal trainers, plastic surgeons, and voice coaches. Image consultants assist people, such as:

* Women who want a new look or have moved to Singapore for the first time and find it difficult to find clothes in this climate

Does Image Really Matter?

Do people really determine how competent you are based on your appearance? Anyone who has seen the movie Pretty Woman will know the importance of image and the message that an image can send. Mini skirt and long boots can equate being disrespected and disregarded; clean, neat fashionable dress usually equates with being respected and being attended to. This is an extreme example but it serves to show we send a message to other people about ourselves in the way that we present ourselves. Your personal presentation influences people’s behavior toward you; such as whether they will agree to your request, hire you, or pay the salary you want.

People show you the same respect you show yourself.

Every time you get dressed and leave the house, you showcase key pieces of information about yourself, including your education level, your approximate wealth, and even your feelings of self-worth. All by the clothes and accessories you choose and the manner in which you wear them. Image matters because people make assumptions based on limited information. For example people may be judged as capable, professional, successful even wealthy or intelligent because they are well dressed. The reverse is also true. Research indicates time and again that how you present yourself plays a significant role in how you are perceived and treated by others. So, what are you waiting for? Make the most of yourself today.
