Gifting Experiences: Why Gifting a Stylist is a Great Idea
I love out when I am purchased as a gift for someone. Imagine giving more than just a sweater or shirt – imagine giving a total transformation. A stylist provides a journey of self-discovery and a makeover that will last a lifetime.
What types of experiences can you give? I am happy to explain.
- Get-to-Know-You Phone Call and Style Questionnaire
This is the first step in understanding the recipient’s lifestyle, preferences, and goals. It helps me create a personalized approach to their makeover journey. - Closet Edit and Curation
A closet edit is a perfect way to declutter and refresh a wardrobe. I’ll guide the recipient in keeping pieces that work and suggest what should be added to elevate their style. - Wardrobe Shopping and Styling Experience
Whether it’s a complete wardrobe overhaul or a seasonal update, shopping for new pieces that align with the recipient’s style will feel like a special treat. - Fitting and Styling Sessions
A styling session is where we take the newly acquired pieces and put them together for a perfect fit, showing how to create versatile outfits for all occasions. - Total Makeover Experience
A complete transformation with the guidance of a stylist, including hair, makeup, and wardrobe, perfect for someone who wants to feel like a brand-new person. - Photo Feed with Outfit Ideas
I create a personalized lookbook with outfit combinations, making it easy for the recipient to style themselves effortlessly every day. - Packing for Travel
For someone who loves to travel, I can create custom travel wardrobes, ensuring they look stylish while packing light.
Any one of my services can make a great gift, or you can give the whole enchilada. Most people go for the whole package.
Giving my services as a gift is a breeze. It starts with a brief phone. The gift giver let’s me know who the recipient is and why they wish to give styling as a gift. I explain how I work. I can then provide a gift certificate or a surprise experience. I can also just reach out to the client and get the ball rolling. Whatever meets your needs. I love it when a husband, wife, Mother, partner, or friend contacts me in order to give me as a gift. I know they care deeply for the recipient. This is a great start.
Reasons Why Fashion Services Make a Great Gift
People come to me for a variety of reasons, and no matter the motivation, gifting a stylist is always a meaningful choice. Some common reasons for using fashion services include:
- Starting a new career or professional life
- Experiencing life changes (marriage, divorce, etc.)
- Postpartum style refresh
- Boosting self-confidence
- A recent move or lifestyle shift
- Just some good old-fashioned pampering
All reasons are good reasons.
Giving a gift to a stylist transcends a traditional gift. It is an investment in someone’s personal brand and self-perception. It is a gift that with long long-term results. I have seen the results and they are worth it!
