Train to be a Personal Stylist, Shopper and Image Consultant...

When starting up your own business offering wardrobe consultations, style advice and personal shopping it is essential that you are confident, effective and efficient in your offerings and expertise - after all, the client is paying you by the hour, so will expect to get great value for their money.

Wasting time or being unsure about the advice you are providing is not an option as it could lead to a potentially damaging reputation; after all, women talk! On the other hand though, if you know exactly how to conduct wardrobe consultations, personal shopping and other style related services right from the start, then you stand a great chance of them telling all their friends and getting you more clients!

As a Style Advisor you need to know far more than the average woman when it comes to image, style and fashion because every other woman watches Gok’s TV programmes and reads fashion magazines regularly. What specialist information and assistance can you provide that one of their stylish friends couldn’t? What is your experience with women and their wardrobes? What qualifies you to tell other people what to wear?

My Style Companion can help you to answer these questions with confidence as you can learn through our experiences with hundreds of women from sizes 6 - 26 and ages 16 - 65.

Lisa Pauley-Cordes, Milton Keynes, Trained with My Style Companion

(Following One to One Personal Styling Business Training) “I recently had the good fortune of one to one training with Nicola Cupples as I am embarking on my own business in Style Consultancy. I trawled the web for months looking for the best Style training available, and believe me I found it! My time with Nicola was inspiring, thorough, comprehensive and enjoyable.

I felt Nicola passed on in depth knowledge and a life times worth of experience in the Style industry, to ensure what I offer my personal clients is the best available, in terms of quality service, value for money and an up to date knowledge of fashion and style. Nicola is down to earth, a tough task master (she makes you work!) and a bright and passionate woman.

I do not hesitate to recommend her first class training if you are venturing out into this Industry alone. She gives you the support and encouragement you need whilst having her feet planted firmly on the ground."

Why Train with My Style Companion...

Training with My Style Companion™ provides you with proven practical skills, methods and techniques to start a business as an Image Consultant, Personal Stylist or Personal Shopper. You will learn how to confidently conduct wardrobe consultations, give style advice and provide personal shopping to your clients.

My Style Companion provides a number of proven training solutions for women who want to offer style advice, wardrobe consultations, personal shopping and related services. We have devised options to suit everyone whether you want to train in a group; at home or one to one with us. If you are a self-starter, love to make people feel good and have an eye for style, becoming an Image Consultant or Personal Stylist could be the perfect job for you. Be your own boss, create working hours that suit your lifestyle and with relatively little cost .

Do you need any training?...

We understand how difficult it is trying to find the right training option to suit your budget, time restrictions and lifestyle if you are already managing a job, a family and trying to put money aside for your new business. Especially when starting a business providing wardrobe consultations and personal shopping doesn't legally require any training - there are just so many decisions to make!

However we can't emphasise enough that those who start ANY business without experience, training, existing skills and knowledge (or ideally all three) can't expect to just 'make it happen' quickly. There will be a learning curve when starting your new business so at the very least, you need to be confident with the services you are providing so that there is one aspect of the business you feel fully comfortable with - there will be enough other new things to learn through experience along the way without having to practice on your paying clients! You just can't run the risk of not doing the most efficient and effective job for your clients.

If you aren't sure how you would go about conducting a wardrobe consultation or personal shopping trip OR you have already started your business without training and aren't getting the number of clients you expected, then come along to our Starting a Business as a Personal Stylist event...
