Frequently Asked Questions
What is it like to work with a Personal Stylist?
When you work with me specifically, my goal is the work alongside you to determine what personal style is right for YOU! Working with me is always a 2-way conversation and while I WILL push you to step outside of your comfort zone, we will talk a LOT about what your vision for your future style is. Many of our appointments will be done virtually. Depending on YOU, some will be in-person, however everything can be done virtually just as successfully! When you work with me inside of a longer-term styling package, you WILL close out your package with the end-result that we began our very first call planning for. You have to be READY to make a change and you have to know that you are paying me to get you to your next-level style. That will mean stepping outside of your comfort zone so you don’t end up right back where you started. Style is a choice.
I am a good listener and we will create a style that is developed based upon many questions I will ask and evaluations that we will complete together. It’s an extremely transformation process for women who go through it and it elevates how you feel from the inside-out. It is truly a life-changing experience!
Why should I hire a Stylist?
Getting dressed well is an art—and it’s one that many women struggle to master, especially with busy lives and endless to-do lists. You could spend hours researching outfit ideas online, trying to figure out what works for you. But why go through that hassle when a stylist can make the process simple, fun, and stress-free?
A stylist isn’t just about shopping for clothes; it’s about creating a wardrobe that works for you—one that aligns with your body, lifestyle, and goals. Imagine having someone who understands your style needs and is there to make getting dressed feel effortless. With a stylist by your side, your closet becomes a place of confidence, not stress.
Hiring a stylist is an investment in yourself, your time, and your confidence. It’s the ultimate gift to help you feel great every day—without the overwhelm.
What size Clients do you work with?
I work with women of all sizes—whether you’re a size 0 or a size 26. As a stylist, my goal is to dress you, not your size. Together, we’ll focus on finding the best looks for your unique body, and I’ll help you feel confident and stylish in clothes that highlight your best features. Style is personal, and no matter your size, we’ll create a wardrobe that reflects you and your individual style.
What is a Style Possibilities Call? What does it involve?
A Style Possibilities Call is a FREE 15-minute conversation where we’ll discuss your style goals and explore what you want to achieve by working with me. We’ll talk about what you envision when it comes to working with a stylist and determine if we’re the right fit for each other.
By the end of the call, you’ll know whether we’re a match and which styling package is best suited to your needs. It’s the perfect way to get a clear sense of your next steps in discovering your next-level style.
Do you only work with people that have big budgets?
Absolutely not! Client investment for their own clothing typically begins at $2000 and beyond. We will have a conversation about your budget during our initial style consultation. I believe in working within your parameters to curate a wardrobe that’s both stylish and functional. While this may mean fewer pieces, I focus on quality over quantity—ensuring you get pieces you love and feel confident in, all while staying within your budget.
Can you help me if I'm transitioning careers?
Absolutely! A career transition is the perfect time to refresh your image and make sure your style reflects your new role and goals. Whether you’re moving into a more professional or creative environment, your wardrobe plays a crucial role in building confidence and projecting the right image.
Together, we’ll curate a wardrobe that not only makes you feel confident and stylish but also aligns with your career aspirations. From powerful work outfits to looks for networking events and interviews, I’ll guide you through each step, ensuring your style matches your next-level career.
I need help getting back out into the dating scene. Can you help me?
I’ve got you covered! Getting back into the dating scene is about feeling confident, vibrant, and your best self—and your wardrobe plays a big part in that. We’ll curate looks that make you feel beautiful, confident, and ready to take on the world, whether it’s for a casual date or a more formal evening out.
Together, we’ll select outfits that highlight your best features, reflect your personality, and make you feel incredible. Style can boost your confidence, and when you feel great in your clothes, that energy is magnetic.
Where do you shop?
I can shop anywhere and on any budget. That being said, I do not believe in Fast Fashion. I will NOT shop from places such as Shein, TEMU, Forever 21, Mango, Amazon, Target, etc. Companies that price their clothing that low typically do not have safe working conditions for their employees (including child labor) in addition to making poor quality clothing that is bad for the environment AND won’t last. Those are key distinctions for me. I believe in sustainability, so I will always shop in places where I believe the quality of the clothing you invest in will last long-term. I would rather you purchase a few well-made pieces than several pieces that will not wash and wear well or last you long.
I'm ready to go! What steps should I take? When will our first appointment be and what will the first appointment be like?
I’m SO excited for you! If you are READY to go, most packages have an option to get signed up right away. Once you have made your payment and completed your contract (the Terms & Conditions inside of the checkout cart), I will email you a link to get your first appointment scheduled. Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you complete payment, the better!
The first appointment for ALL of my styling Clients will include a Virtual meeting where we talk about your styling goals. If you choose a Special Event package, Photo Shoot package, or Single Service package, this call will be very straightforward. If you are purchasing a longer-term styling package, we are going to dive in-depth into vision planning and style evaluations. For longer term packages, you will receive an email with paperwork that needs to be completed and submitted prior to our first appointment so that we can make the best use of our first appointment together!
Do you have payment plan options?
I do! I understand that the price can seem overwhelming, but the outcome is so worth it! Packages that have an available Payment Plan show it near the price on the description.
How much time will this take from me?
This is a great question, and I’m so glad you asked! While I handle most of the work in your styling package, it’s important to understand that developing a truly aligned style is a collaborative process. For your style to truly stick, your input is essential. I can give you amazing style, but without your involvement, it won’t feel like your style.
Most of your “work” will be upfront, including filling out style forms so we get everything right from the start. From there, we’ll have in-person appointments (unless you’re a virtual client) where we’ll dive into your wardrobe, do shopping, and refine your looks. I’ll take as many photos as I can during our sessions to help you visualize your closet transformation, and for any additional photos you need, you can either take them yourself or have a family member assist.
You’ll also spend some time ordering from links (if you don’t want me to order for you).
For longer-term packages, depending on scheduling, the process typically takes about 4 weeks. We’ll make sure everything flows seamlessly, with your collaboration at the heart of the process!
Will this cost a lot of money?
It does not have to! Stylists aren’t just for celebrities and rich people. That being said, what I offer is a luxury service. I offer services that start at $750 and go up from there. How you feel in your clothes affects EVERYTHING about your confidence and how you show up in the world. You need to take the step and prioritize yourself, your confidence, and your happiness! It is an investment in yourself.
I am not happy with my weight right now. Should I hold off on working with you?
Absolutely not! I hear this from women all the time, and I want you to know—you deserve to feel beautiful right now. Our bodies change over time, and yes, it can be tough, especially as we age. But if you’re on a journey to health and happiness, now is the time to embrace your style, no matter where you are in your journey.
You’ve found your way to my website for a reason—you’re ready for a change. You’re fed up with how you feel about your style and how it’s impacting your confidence. Don’t ignore that gut feeling!
We’ll work with your current body, and you can absolutely adjust your budget to start small. When you reach your goal weight, you’ll be even more excited to complete your wardrobe overhaul. And when it comes to any pieces that don’t quite fit, a tailor will be your best friend. When we select items you adore but they’re a little too big, your tailor can make them fit you perfectly as you reach your goals!
What is Voxer?
Voxer is a voice messaging app that allows us to stay in constant communication in real-time. It is available in some packages. It’s like having a direct line to me whenever you need styling advice, outfit help, or just a quick question about your wardrobe—Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM.
Whether you need advice about a specific outfit, are unsure about a shopping decision, or just want to run something by me, Voxer makes it easy to get personalized guidance. It’s the ultimate way for us to stay connected, even when you’re on the go!
What days and times do you schedule appointments?
I work during the weekdays and offer one evening per week for appointments. Many women prefer to work with me when family and distractions aren’t around, even if our appointment is virtual. For those who want to really focus on the process, many clients choose to take a half-day off work to dedicate time to our session.
This ensures that you can give your full attention to the transformation we’re working on, whether it’s in-person or virtually. Let’s make this time work for you!
I see the clothes that you wear and they aren't my style. Are you going to try to get me to wear the type of styles you wear?
Girl, NO! Absolutely not! My style does NOT = your style. We are going to work together to truly identify your style. That is why you are here. You always have a voice with me and we will walk the path together.
My closet is a disaster! I'm embarrassed by it. I'm not sure I want you to see it.
First off, it’s completely okay! Take a deep breath—you’re not alone, and there’s no judgment here. My world is a Judgement-Free Zone!
If you’ve purchased a package that includes a closet edit, we’ll work together to get your closet organized and streamlined, and we’ll do it at your pace. This is all about creating a space that makes you feel good and reflects your true style. We’ll tackle it together, and I promise, you’ll feel so much better once everything is organized and aligned with your goals.
You’ve got this, and I’m here to help you every step of the way!
Do I have to live in Charlotte to work with you? Do you work with Clients virtually?
Not at all! I work with clients both locally and virtually, so distance is never an issue. We’ve all gotten comfortable with virtual work, and even my local clients sometimes prefer the convenience of virtual options.
I’ll guide you on the best lighting and camera position during our sessions, so you can be sure I’m seeing everything I need to see to help you transform your style. Whether we’re in-person or online, you’ll receive the same personalized, high-quality experience tailored to you.
What is a Digitized Closet?
Dependent upon your package selection, you may have this option. A Digitized closet is the items in your closet put into a virtual Look Book so that I can curate custom looks with the pieces that you own and/or I have recommended and you have purchased. Some packages do not have a digitized closet, some have an offering of a select number of digitized “looks”.
Do you work with men?
At this time I do not. While I have been trained and certified in Men’s Styling, I have decided to put my focus on women and helping them transform their lives and their confidence.
Why should I work with you?
With years of experience helping clients one-on-one, I’ve had the privilege of working with women of all body types, styles, and needs. I’m passionate about helping women feel confident and beautiful in the clothes they wear, and I truly believe style is personal.
I don’t believe in rigid rules. Style is all about YOU. While I’ll offer expert recommendations and suggestions, I will never tell you to follow a one-size-fits-all formula. Our work together will be a collaborative, two-way conversation, where your voice and preferences are key.
Over the years, I’ve honed my craft and I love sharing my knowledge with my clients. If you’ve found yourself stuck in style confusion or stuck in a rut, I’ll help you step up and elevate your look. Yes, I’ll encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, but I will always be a leader, not a dictator. You’ll be supported every step of the way as you grow into the confident, stylish woman you deserve to be.
Do you guarantee that I will get results?
I am here to coach and guide you every step of the way as you develop your style. I fully believe in the process and the tools I provide, and I am committed to helping you grow and evolve in your style.
However, the results you get will ultimately depend on you. You’ll only see the transformation and change in your style to the extent that you show up and put in the effort. This is a collaborative journey, and the more engaged and open you are, the more impactful your results will be.
I’m here to guide you, but your commitment and action are key to unlocking your full style potential.
I am interested in having you speak about style at an event. Do you offer this?
Absolutely! I’d love to speak at your event and share my expertise on style. Whether you’re looking for a talk on building confidence through style, mastering wardrobe essentials, or any other topic, I can tailor my presentation to fit your needs.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] or complete the form on the Contact Us page to inquire about available topics and pricing.
How far do you travel for styling?
I travel up to 30 miles from zip code 29707 for in-person styling services. For locations beyond 30 miles, I charge 70 cents per mile plus the cost of any tolls or parking fees.
If overnight travel is necessary, additional travel expenses will apply. I am also available to travel by plane to work with clients, and we can discuss the specifics of travel arrangements as needed.
Please note that services do not include parking fees, and these will be the responsibility of the client.

What is a Style Possibilities Call? What does it involve?
This is a FREE 15 minutes of time where we will discuss what goals you want to accomplish when working with a me. We will talk about what your idea of working with a Stylist is and will determine if, based upon those things, we are the right fit to work together. At the end of the call, we will know if we plan to work together or not. You will also understand the #1 thing you need to do to move forward and discover your next-level style.
What size Clients do you work with?
I don’t care if you are a size 0 or a size 26. As a Stylist, I can dress anyone because no matter the size, we will find your best looks and style when we complete my Style Synchrony Framework to make sure we are highlighting not only your best assets but also looking at what true style means to you.
Where do you shop?
I can shop anywhere and on any budget. That being said, I do not believe in Fast Fashion. I will NOT shop from places such as Shein, TEMU, Forever 21, Mango, Amazon, Target, etc. Companies that price their clothing that low typically do not have safe working conditions for their employees (including child labor) in addition to making poor quality clothing that is bad for the environment AND won’t last.

I would rather you purchase a few well-made pieces than several pieces that will not wash and wear well or last you long.
With full transparency, I am an Ambassador for cabi Clothing. I may make recommendations from cabi based on your style and body type. I will only do this if I truly feel that the pieces are perfect-for-you items. I have chosen to continue my relationship with cabi because the quality and versatility of the clothing are truly unparalleled. I know the Designers personally and they design high-quality, beautiful clothes. I do earn a commission on sales made through cabi.
Do you only work with people that have big budgets?
Absolutely not. You and I will have a conversation about your budget and we will work within those parameters. Because I believe in quality over quantity, it may mean fewer pieces to work within your budget, but they will be the pieces you adore in your closet!
I'm ready to go! What steps should I take? When will our first appointment be and what will the first appointment be like?
I’m SO excited for you! If you are READY to go, most packages have an option to get signed up right away.

How much time will this take from me?
This is a REALLY important question, and I’m so glad you asked! While I do most of the legwork inside of a styling package, an important part of developing a truly aligned style is that we are co-creating it together. Without your input, I could give you style, but it wouldn’t stick. It’s important for YOU to be a part of the process. Most of your “work” will be upfront as I ask you to fill out Style forms so we get it right the first time. Examples of other areas you will have to spend some time time would be for appointments (obviously), ordering from links if we are shopping virtually, package returns, taking photos of closet items (or pay a kiddo to do it).
Do you have payment plan options?
I do! I understand that the price can seem overwhelming, but the outcome is so worth it! Packages that have an available Payment Plan show it near the price on the description.
I am not happy with my weight right now. Should I hold off on working with you?
No, no, no! Women are really hard on themselves and as we age, the changes in our body don’t make that any easier. If you are on a true journey to health and happiness, you deserve to feel beautiful NOW.
You have made it to my website for a reason: you are fed up with where you are with your style and how you feel. Do not ignore that. You can choose to have a smaller budget and when you reach your goal weight, be ready to spend more on a complete overhaul. Plus, a tailor will be your best friend. When we select pieces you adore and you are bummed because they are too large, a tailor can make them fit you PERFECTLY at your new weight!
Will this cost a lot of money?
It does not have to! Stylists aren’t just for celebrities and rich people. That being said, what I offer is a luxury service. I offer services that start at $750 and go up from there. How you feel in your clothes affects EVERYTHING about your confidence and how you show up in the world. You need to take the step and prioritize yourself, your confidence, and your happiness! It is an investment in yourself.
What days and times do you schedule appointments?
I work during the weekdays and I offer one evening per week and one Saturday per month (in the morning). Most women prefer to work with me when family and distractions are not around (even if our appointment is done virtually). Many women choose to take a half-day off of work to focus on our time together.
How far will you travel?
I will travel 30 miles from zip code 29707. Services are not inclusive of parking fees. Travel exceeding 30 miles from 29707 will be charged at 70 cents per mile plus the cost of any tolls or parking.
Overnight travel is subject to additional travel expenses.
What is Stylist-on-Call or Stylist Support?
If your package includes Stylist-on-Call Services (AKA Stylist Support), this is access to me via an app called Voxer. This will allow you to ask me questions on-the-fly as they come up. My on-call hours are Monday – Friday 9am-5pm.
I see the clothes that you wear and they aren't my style. Are you going to try to get me to wear the type of styles you wear?
Girl, NO! Absolutely not! My style does NOT = your style. We are going to work together to truly identify your style. That is why you are here. You always have a voice with me and we will walk the path together.
My closet is a disaster! I'm embarrassed by it. I'm not sure I want you to see it.
It’s completely okay. Take a deep breath. My world is a Judgement-Free Zone! If you purchase a package that has a closet edit, we will get your closet straightened out and organized stat!
Do I have to live in Charlotte to work with you? Do you work with Clients virtually?
I definitely can work with Clients who are not local to me. We have all gotten used to working virtually. Even my local Clients sometimes choose to have virtual options. I will instruct you on lighting and camera position during our sessions to make sure I am seeing everything that I need to see!
What does Confidence and Mindset Coaching involve?
I have become Certified in both of these areas so that we can dive in and really get you moving in a positive direction in your life. We will talk about your life, your values, and how you see yourself and work on changing your thought patterns so that you feel confident and view your future in a positive light. We will talk about reframing your thoughts and taking action. This is where true happiness will truly shine through!
What is a Digitized Closet?
Dependent upon your package selection, you may have this option. A Digitized closet is the items in your closet put into a virtual Look Book so that I can curate custom looks with the pieces that you own and/or I have recommended and you have purchased. Some packages do not have a digitized closet, some have an offering of a select number of digitized “looks”.
Do you work with men?
At this time I do not. While I have been trained and certified in Men’s Styling, I have decided to put my focus on women and helping them transform their lives and their confidence.
Why should I work with you?
I have years of experience working with Clients one-on-one. I have helped women with many body types, and many style preferences, and love helping women to feel confident and beautiful in the clothes they put on their bodies. I also do not believe in rigid rules. Style is personal to each person. I am an expert and will offer expert recommendations or suggestions, but I will NEVER tell you to do something in absolutes. This is a relationship, a two-way conversation. I have honed my craft over the years and love sharing my knowledge with my Clients. You have found yourself in style confusion potentially after years of going down the same path. I will encourage you to step up, to elevate, to step outside of your comfort zone, which may be uncomfortable. BUT, I will be a Leader, not a Dictator!
Do you guarantee that I will get results?
I am coaching you on your style throughout your time with me. I fully believe in what I am teaching you and showing you to help you grow in your style. That being said, you will only grow and change your style to the extent that you show up and put in the work.
I am interested in having you speak about style at an event. Do you offer this?
I sure do! You can email me at [email protected] or complete the form on the Contact Us page to inquire about topics and pricing.
Do you offer Group Styling?
I do and these events are SO MUCH FUN! This may look like a group of 4-5 women who want to go to the Mall and shop together alongside a Personal Stylist. I also offer Group Color Analysis for groups of 3-4 women and Style Parties where I can speak to you and your friends about style and give everyone a body type evaluation! Contact me to inquire about pricing for these fun group events!
