Personal Stylist near me-Which styling service is best for me?

WHAT DOES A PERSONAL STYLIST DO?

A personal stylist will help narrowing down your personal style and finding brands that align to update your wardrobe .

They can provide advice on what to wear according to your body shape, lifestyle and budget as well as building a capsule wardrobe. They can also give advice about what clothing to get rid of and which ones should be kept in your wardrobe and avoid buying clothes that may not look good on your body type.

There are different ways to get help with your style from style boxes, to in-store stylists, to online stylists, and more.

A personal stylist typically helps you with the following: wardrobe organization, shopping guidance  and personal image consulting. They will also help you put together outfits for different occasions, whether it be a job interview or a night out on the town.

As a personal shopper and stylist, I’m passionate about my mission to:

To help women incorporate Parisian Chic into their wardrobe and develop a timeless Parisian Chic-inspired personal style.

The best personal stylist will listen to your needs and preferences and will not try to convince you to dress like someone you’re not. Before hiring a personal stylist, ask if you can book a free consultation to ask questions and to share your style goals.

HOW MUCH IS A PERSONAL STYLIST?

It varies. You can get a styling session for free from an in-store stylist, but you will be limited to store.

Or, you can hire a stylist who will shop for you anywhere.

With style boxes, you are really just paying for the shipping fee. The stylists that work with you for the style box services are like an in-store stylist so the service is free.

Here’s a comparison of prices for styling services:

  • Personal styling (online or in-person): $75 to $300 dollars an hour. Some stylists charge per package.
  • Style box services: $20–$60; the fee usually goes towards the items you choose to purchase.
  • In-store stylists: free

HOW DO I FIND A PERSONAL STYLIST TO HIRE?

You’ll find the most credible ones on the Internet and they are not online services that have taken over page one and two of Google. As they will be large online personal stylist companies that they will help you to put looks together, but they are not qualified stylists but more like a retail sales person.

You can search online for a personal stylist with these keywords:

  • Online personal shopper

WHAT KIND OF PERSONAL STYLING SERVICE IS BEST FOR ME?

There are so many personal styling options available now. Let’s break these down with the pros and cons of each.

STYLE BOXES

Style boxes are best for you if you:

  • Have a good sense of your style, but are too busy to shop
  • Are on a budget

Style boxes aren’t good for you if you:

  • Have way too much in your closet you aren’t wearing
  • Don’t understand your personal style

IN-STORE STYLISTS

In-store personal stylists are best for you if you:

  • Want to add new items in your wardrobe and know exactly what to shop for that won’t add clutter to your closet
  • Need last minute help for an event, interview, or a special outfit

In-store stylists aren’t a good option if you:

  • Are unsure with what you want to add to your wardrobe
  • Need help in narrowing down your personal style
  • Want help adding new pieces in your current wardrobe

ONLINE AND IN-PERSON PERSONAL STYLISTS

Personal stylists are best for you if you:

  • Want to understand your personal style
  • Want to build a wardrobe that’s functional and works for you
  • Don’t want to be limited to one store or one brand
  • Previously tried to figure out your style without success
  • Prefer personalized attention

Personal stylists aren’t a good option if you:

  • Have a tight budget
  • Aren’t ready to open up to new styles?
  • Aren’t ready to part with old items?

IS A STYLIST WORTH IT?

Absolutely! An online styling session can be an excellent way to add new pieces in your wardrobe and define your style without breaking the bank.

In the end, whether or not a personal stylist is worth it comes down to your own personal circumstances and goals. If you’re looking to overhaul your wardrobe, save time and money while getting some expert advice along the way, then hiring a personal stylist is definitely the way to go.

I love absolutely everything

"Often, when I go out with the intention of buying new clothes, I end up wandering around for hours and not finding anything I really love. Because my time in Paris was limited, I wanted to make the best use of what little opportunity I had for shopping. Enter Linda, who-in just 3 hours-helped me select a range of gorgeous new clothes and accessories, I love absolutely everything I bought. My time with her was an absolute joy: she is very relaxed and easy to chat with, and she really listens to your opinions and steers you towards the things you will like. If only all shopping was this easy!"

"Linda was great helping me set up a personal shopping experience for my wife. She did a great job finding the perfect items according to her laste and style. We were able to get special unique clothes shoes we normally would not be able to find on our own. Highly recommended!"

"This was my first personal shopping experience on a trip to Paris so I wasn't sure what to expect, but was soon pul al case by the warm and friendly Linda... After wearing one of my new outfits back in London. several people have commented that I had a 'French chic look going on! It was the look I'd asked Linda for, so it seems to be working! Highly recommended - and I'll definitely be back for more!"

"We had such a productive two hours with Linda! My daughter is very petite for her age (14 years old, almost 5'2" and 90 lbs). It is hard for her to find clothes in styles popular in her age group and I was worried that our Paris shopping would be frustrating. I am so glad we booked Linda! We sent her some samples of styles my daughter liked as well as the types of items we were interested in purchasing. Linda mapped out stores and actual items in advance. And she was good at identifying potential options on the fly too. In two hours we got a dress, two pairs of jeans, some slides and two tops that my daughter loves! In every store Linda would quickly ask the salespeople for the smallest sizes and then my daughter would quickly make a call on what she wanted to try. Very efficient! Linda comes from a family in the fashion business and earlier in the day had helped a bride from the U.S. select her couture wedding gown. She is versatile for sure! Thank you Linda for this great highlight of our trip to Paris!"

Amazing Personal Shopping Experience in Paris

"My 13 year old daughter and I had a wonderful morning with Linda. We walked around the Marais area and Linda introduced us to many shops and boutiques. Linda quickly understood what my daughter style is and what she prefers and offered her different and unique items at every store. My daughter is typically not an easy shopper :) but Linda was able to find her multiple beautiful items that she loved and we purchased (all within the budget we pre-defined before starting). We even got one item for me (although this was not our focus this time ...). Linda also helped us to quickly receive the tax refund forms at the different stores we visited. Overall it was an amazing experience which my daughter really enjoyed and marked as one of the highlights of our Paris visit."

"Linda took my daughter and I and another friend and her daughter shopping and it was just perfect. She chose ideal spots for the teenagers and great spots for myself and my friend (we are in our early 50s). She's kind, patient, and thoughtful and really tries to make sure everyone finds what they need/ I also loved that she wasn't pushy with us buying things. She made me feel very comfortable to say you know this is not right for me. I love the shoes I got on our trip and the jeans and my daughter had the best time. This is a really special experience. My only suggestion would be that if you are shopping for teens and grownups to try to add more time because 2 hours was not enough for us! It's a great experience -- hope you enjoy it too!"
