How does a personal styling session work?

Stylists have different approaches, so seek clarity on their process. Some prefer a hands-on, collaborative process, while others streamline it for busy clients.

Me: I prefer streamlined working and a personal styling session typically includes three stages:

1. Consultation (Approx. 2 hours): We discuss your lifestyle, wardrobe goals, and what you want to achieve.
2. Preparation (Approx. 4 hours): I research and select clothing that matches your size, budget, and style preferences.
3. Styling Appointment (Approx. 4 hours): You’ll try on the outfits I’ve pre-selected, and I’ll advise you on integrating them into your daily life.

This process is designed to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible.
