Testimonials

"Thanks a million, it really made me think “outside the box’ about shopping. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep it up. You are truly gifted!"

"I am so glad Joan found time to do it.  We talked about it a lot last week and she was really wanting to but wasn't sure she would have time as she is getting ready to move back to the US.  I hope she feels as uplifted about her "makeover" as I do about mine.  I am so much more confident when I dress now and am really looking forward to my shopping trips back in the states.  It will make the buying decisions so much easier when I can automatically eliminate bad choices without taking them into the dressing room!!

I will take you up on the offer to come to an Insights Talk.  I loved the one last week.  And my friend really enjoyed it too.  Thank you so much for everything."

Case Study : Marti The first step is always the client evaluation questionnaire. This establishes up front what the client expects to achieve from the consultation. It also gives the consultant a window into the client’s life so that suitable recommendations can be made. A plan is put in place at this point. When Marti came to see me, she wanted to learn what suited her as well as look stylish and professional every day for work. She has a young toddler and very little time on her hands in the morning. My recommendation for Marti was a colour and style consultation, a grooming session, a wardrobe audit and a two hour shopping trip. The colour consultation session takes approximately an hour and a half. The consultation involves a foundation test to establish whether the skin is warm or cool. From there, an eye examination is conducted This tells if the person is warm or cool and also gives information on secondary seasonal influences.

Finally the draping test was conducted. Marti has winter colouring. Winter colours clear up Marti’s complexion and make her look younger and healthier. When Marti wears winter colours, her eyes also stand out more.

During the 2 hours Style Analysis Session Marti was taught the style’s of clothes and accessories that made the most of her body shape. She learnt how to use detail, patterens, texture and colour to balance her body. She also took away her Personal Style Portfolio to study at home.

During the grooming session, Marti was taught a day and an evening make-up routine. The morning routine takes just 7 minutes for a beautifully groomed and natural look. Marti has a little more time before going out in the evening so Moira, Face-Up’s very talented make-up artist showed Marti a 15 minute routine. Marti was delighted with her glamorous look for going out in the evening. Next stop for Marti, was a trip to the hairdressers. Marti has very fine long hair. Taking Marti’s face shape, hair type and hectic lifestyle into account, a new hairstyle was recommended. Marti was delighted with her new colour and style though a little skeptical that she would be able to achieve the results at home herself. I was glad to hear a few weeks later that she was still very happy with her cut and colour though she assured me that the ‘salon’ look is not normally achieved on a daily basis.

Next up for Marti, was a wardrobe audit. After an evaluation of Marti’s wardrobe, we made a surprisingly small list of items required to fill in the gaps. I showed Marti some new combinations and all the items that had not been worn in a year were placed in a box in the spare room. If Marti does not wear an item from the box in the next three months then she has promised she will donate the items to a charity.

Finally we went on a shopping trip. Prior to the trip, we reviewed the required items list and made a plan. We ended up getting all the items on the list as well as a day and evening outfit for an upcoming beach wedding that Marti will be attending in the next month.
