Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first consultation?

Your first consultation is all about discovery. We’ll discuss your goals, lifestyle, and personal preferences to build a clear picture of your ideal image and style direction. I’ll guide you through your body and colour analysis (if included), and together we’ll start defining what styles, silhouettes, and tones make you look and feel your best.

What’s the difference between an Image Consultant and a Stylist?

An image consultant helps clients develop a cohesive personal image that reflects their goals, lifestyle, and personality. This includes guidance on clothing, grooming, and overall presence. My focus as an image consultant is long-term, helping you build confidence and consistency in your personal style.

A stylist typically works on short-term or project-based needs, such as creating looks for a photoshoot, event, or media appearance. I bring both approaches together, combining the strategy of image consulting with the creativity of styling to help you look and feel your best every day.

What areas do you serve in Ontario?

I offer in-person styling and image consulting across Barrie, Simcoe County, Muskoka, Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and the Greater Toronto Area. Travel outside of Barrie is billed at the CRA-recommended mileage rate. Virtual styling services are available for clients across Canada and internationally.

Do you offer virtual styling services?

Yes. I offer virtual colour analysis, style consultations, and wardrobe edits. You’ll receive clear prep instructions ahead of time to ensure accuracy and a smooth experience. Virtual sessions are perfect for clients outside Ontario or those who prefer to work from home.

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for package sessions or in-person wardrobe edits. My calendar fills quickly during seasonal transitions (spring and fall), so early booking helps secure your preferred date and time.

What should I prepare before my session?

You’ll receive brief pre-session instructions once your booking is confirmed. It may include organizing your wardrobe, setting aside key pieces, gathering photos of outfits or inspiration, and ensuring good lighting for virtual sessions. This helps us make the most of our time together.

How long does a typical styling session take?

Session length varies by service:

• Colour Analysis – about 1.5 hours

• Body & Style Analysis – around 2 hours

• Wardrobe Consultation – 3–4 hours

• Shopping Session – minimum 2 hours
  
  

Package sessions are completed in phases, with flexible scheduling to suit your needs.

What is included in a Colour Analysis session?

A Colour Analysis identifies your ideal palette based on your skin tone, hair, and eyes using the 12-season system. Through precision draping and palette tools, we’ll determine your best colours and how to use them in clothing, accessories, and makeup. You’ll also receive a personalized seasonal colour guide to reference when shopping.

What’s the difference between the packages?

Each package is designed to meet you at a different stage in your style journey:

• Personal Style Foundations – Establishes your body shape, core style personality, and seasonal colour palette.

• Core Closet Curation – Builds on your foundations to refine and organize your wardrobe into a cohesive, functional system.

• Signature Style System – A complete transformation that includes both previous packages plus guided shopping, additional consultations, and six months of personalized support.

Can I book just one service without a full package?

Absolutely. You can book any individual service, such as Colour Analysis, Body & Style Analysis, or a Wardrobe Consultation, based on your current needs. Many clients start with one service and later upgrade to a package once they’re ready to build on the results.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Payment plans are available for larger packages like the Core Closet Curation and Signature Style System. Sessions can also be spaced out to fit your budget and schedule. Full payment is required to confirm bookings unless otherwise arranged.

I have a photoshoot coming up. How can you help?

Before your shoot, I’ll help you plan your wardrobe, accessories, and props so everything aligns with your goals and personal brand. During the session, I act as your on-set stylist: adjusting outfits, guiding poses, and catching the little details (like a twisted necklace or stray hair). I make sure every image reflects your best self, saving you time and retouching later.

Do you travel for workshops or corporate events?

Yes. I offer group workshops and colour analysis sessions for teams, organizations, and events. Travel across Ontario is available, with mileage billed at the CRA recommended rate. For out-of-province bookings, travel and accommodation fees apply.
