4 Benefits You Gain by Hiring a Professional Image Consultant
How many of you dread walking into a department store only to get bombarded by sales clerks that want to help you find something when you really don’t even know exactly you are looking for?
Are you the shopper that goes to the mall with something in mind that you want to add to your wardrobe but are so overwhelmed and don’t have a clue where to start in finding that item? Or you may be just browsing because you enjoy it and thought you’d check out the latest and greatest sale only to buy more things that aren’t going to compliment what you already own or possibly purchase pieces in the wrong colors or may not fit properly.
An Image Consultant Provides you With an Objective Opinion
Remember the sales clerks are there to sell, most of them work on commission, the more they sell the more they make. When you tell them you are looking for a dress they will ask you “what size do you wear?” next you have a dressing room full of dresses in every style and color you can imagine. This can be overwhelming by itself, as you try on items of clothing they walk by and say “wow that looks great on you”, only to find out that everything looks great on you. Then you purchase it because you heard what you wanted to hear, I LOOK GREAT!
Consider taking an image consultant with your shopping. An image consultant will diffuse your fear and intimidation around shopping by helping clients become wiser about their purchases.

- They will help you identify your personal style, making it easier to look for clothes that will enhance your natural beauty and not hinder it.
