Image Consultant

Image Consultants are paid to show people how to create a fabulous impression, but image is more than just physical appearance. In addition to how someone looks, we also form impressions based on how someone talks and behaves.

Image Consultants can therefore offer the kind of advice that can help people land a job, get a promotion, and find someone to love, or just feel good about themselves.

An Image Consultant might recommend wearing different colors or new styles, go through closets to toss out clothing that isn’t working, shop for a new wardrobe, and put together incredible outfits. They might also advise a change of hairstyle, makeup, or grooming.

An Image Consultant can also serve as liaisons between the client and other professionals who can improve the client’s appearance, such as physical trainers, hairdressers or dermatologists.

Image Consultants can work closely with fashion designers and selected boutiques to develop ensembles made specifically for the client.

What is a Color Analysis?

A Color analysis is the process of determining your natural color tone so that all clothing, makeup, hair, and jewelry colors placed near your face will be in harmony with this tone. When the colors all harmonize, you will look radiant, healthy and fabulous

A personal color analysis will usually take about 1½ hours

In addition wearing your best colors will:

Make you look healthier, radiant, vibrant, more fabulous (the wrong colors can make you look tired, sick, pale/washed-out
Minimize any facial blemishes, discolorations, wrinkles, scars
Draw attention to your eyes
Make your smile whiter and brighter
Ensure your hair color/highlights flatters your skin tone
Give you confidence
Can save you time and money because you will buy clothing, makeup, shoes, belts, and bags that all coordinate and will look great on you, so you will need less

What do image consultants do?

You can break down the lessons that image consultants have to teach into two categories:

Fashion & Grooming

In a standard session with an image consultant you will learn how to:

Pick a wardrobe for your line of work, and that suits your body type and personality
Shop for clothes efficiently
Groom yourself properly
Hide body and skin imperfections that may subconsciously turn people off

Manners & Etiquette

Etiquette Rules That Everyone Should Know:

Unfortunately, many people consider respect for the rules of etiquette as something shameful, considering it a feature of classy aesthetes who are removed from real life.

In fact, the basic rules of etiquette are pretty simple. It’s a culture of speech, common courtesy, neat appearance, and control over your emotions.

The Importance of Etiquette

Etiquette provides personal security. Knowing how to behave appropriately in a given situation makes you more comfortable.
It protects the feelings of others. Proper etiquette requires that you make others comfortable and protect their feelings. You do not point out their errors or draw attention to their mistakes.
It makes communication clearer. Etiquette enhances communication by breaking down barriers, not erecting them.
It will enhance your status at work. In any working situation, you are perceived as more capable, more professional, and more intelligent if you are familiar with the proper code of conduct for the workplace.
It makes good first impressions. The first five to seven seconds after you meet someone are crucial. Your first impression lingers in the other person’s mind long after you are gone. If you use proper etiquette, that first impression will be a positive one.

An image consultant will also teach you how to:

Behave at different functions
Talk in a confident, authoritative manner
Make effective presentations
Handle small talk and awkward silences
Use nonverbal communication effectively and eliminate nervous jitters
Take the upper hand in a media interview
Use the right cutlery for the right dishes at formal dinners
