The role of a personal stylist is to help you develop your style and select pieces that are best suited for your unique body type, career, and lifestyle - kind of like a celebrity stylist (think red carpet), except more accessible (and affordable).
As a personal stylist myself, I know a common hangup is the fear that a personal stylist will dress you in a way that strays far from who you are, making you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious as a result. In reality, part of the job is taking the client’s personality into consideration and finding ways to subtly, yet impactfully enhance what you’re already doing with solutions tailored to you.

This all depends on your end goal. Everyone’s wants and needs are different.
The good news is that I can work within most budgets!
A healthy mix of high and low price points almost ALWAYS creates the best look. Nobody wants to be that person walking around in head-to-toe Gucci.
Just because something costs a lot of money doesn’t mean it’s 1. good quality or 2. cool.
Lucky for you, I know a ton of brands that encompass the trifecta: reasonable price points + lasting quality + impeccable fit.
Sure, designer brands definitely have something to offer on occasion, but they aren’t the end all be all when it comes to dressing well.

I work with men looking to develop a meaningful personal style. This means having a desire to gain a holistic understanding of how to dress well. Ideal clients have an open mind, a willingness to collaborate, and a desire to take action now.
Suppose you’re unable or unwilling to correspond (via email, text, etc.) in a punctual manner and unable to commit to the service’s timeline. In that case, this probably isn’t the right solution for you.

Nope!
My fee is purely for the service I provide.
If you’re wondering how to justify the cost, think of all the items in your closet you’ve purchased and never touched. On average, people don’t wear about 50% of their existing wardrobe because they either don’t like it, don’t know how to wear it or the clothing simply has no place in their day-to-day life.
Working hand in hand with an expert will help mitigate future impulse purchases because you’ll be equipped with a wealth of personalized knowledge related to what actually works with your body. No more aimless closet hunting, no more senseless, unflattering purchases.
That’s just the time and money you save. Having a great wardrobe and a sense of your own style will also help you to get more opportunities and have more success in both your personal and professional life.

Yes! All of my services can be completed virtually. This offers my clients the ability to work with me anywhere in the US. If you have a fashion emergency on a business trip, I’m just a zoom call away.
For now, in-person experiences are available exclusively to NYC residents or clients visiting from out of town.

Maybe!
Although my focus is on men/male presenting, I’ll gladly consider a female client if it’s the right fit.

On average, my clients spend between $2,500 - $5,000+ on their new wardrobe.
These numbers are entirely dependent on your specific needs. For example, if you need multiple coats, you’ll need to account for these higher ticket items when putting together a rough budget.
I’m a big believer in quality over quantity. I source pieces from Contemporary ($75-$500) and Advanced Contemporary ($300-$1,200) brands with a proven history of quality craftsmanship and longevity.
Don’t let these price points scare you. Price and quality aren’t always synonymous. I invest your money where it counts; this means I’m not going to pick a $250 basic t-shirt because that’s not a smart use of your money. My wide breadth of brand knowledge enables me to find the best quality pieces in a wide range of price points.
