Who Benefits:
Individuals and their employers benefit from our intensive program because Living Out Loud Inc. partners with those who recognize that professional and personal growth is dependent upon us not independent of us.
Let us show you how we can help. Our Proposal of Services is a great way to begin. We will then get back to you within one business day.
The following steps are optional:
- If necessary, we will schedule an appointment to review your wardrobe. For maximum efficiency, you will be given instructions on how to organize your closets beforehand.
- While reviewing your wardrobe, we will weed out unnecessary and unflattering items. Using tricks of the trade, we create new outfits with your existing clothing and accessories that we will photograph.
- We make a list of essential items you need to pull your wardrobe together and bring your image up-to-date.
- If shopping services are required, we take clients on a shopping trip to stores tailored just to them, showing what styles, colors, fabrics, cuts and brands work best.
- We create a follow-up Internet file that includes hairstyle links, clothing photos and resources to complete the process.
Getting Started: Personal Stylist One-on-One
- We schedule a one hour image consultation to evaluate your current style. I will make wardrobe and beauty recommendations, tailoring a plan just for you. To prepare for your personal transformation, you will be provided with an in-depth questionnaire to complete.

Live out of State?
We can perform your virtual makeover online and via telephone, using current photos of you and your wardrobe. The process begins with you filling out and sending back our 9 page questionnaire along with your photos. We ask that you collect at least 10 pictures of clothing, hairstyles, and makeup that appeal to you, only to be used as learning tools.
Next we setup a two hour phone consultant to discuss your current style and review your beauty, clothing and accessory choices. If you like I can follow-up by creating a personalized file of Internet links to hairstyling, makeup, clothing, accessories, and other resources to complete your new look. Hourly rate: $200.
However many of our out of town clients pack up their wardrobe and come to NYC. Before you arrive, you would send back our questionnaire along with photos of your current hairstyle, makeup, and clothing. This way, appointments in NYC can be setup in advance.
Preparation:
Once you have set up your appointment, the process begins with you filling out my questionnaire and returning it to me along with a full-length, current photo of yourself. For learning purposes only, I would like you to cutout any clothing, hairstyles and makeup that appeal to you from fashion magazines and bring them with you. After I receive and review your questionnaire, I will call you to discuss your specific needs and arrange all necessary appointments.
Day of Meeting:
If coming from out of town, I recommend you pack up the majority of your wardrobe. On the day of our scheduled meeting, I will come to your hotel room where you will have your consultation and wardrobe analysis. I ask that you have your wardrobe laid out for us to review. Though this next step is optional (not for men), I strongly recommend utilizing it--- I will arrange for a makeup artist to meet us at your hotel and together, we will review your makeup and beauty regimen. You will then receive a 2 hour intensive make-up lesson and professional eyebrow shaping. The other option is to have your makeup done at an in-store counter with no extra charge. I will leave during your make lesson to being pre-shopping for your new look. After your lesson, you will meet me at our store of choice where I will have a private fitting room with a selection of outfits ready for you to try on. For maximum efficiency, I usually choose a store were we can shop for clothing, shoes, accessories and makeup, creating at least three complete looks. The day concludes with your appointment at the hair salon where I give detailed instructions to the stylist. This is the final step in unleashing your inner goddess!
Costs:
8-hour full day booking plus 1 hour of preparation and follow-up: A discounted rate of $1800 ($200 savings)
For NY and NYC Residents: The eight hours can be broken up into two days. The initial wardrobe analysis will be done in your own closet on the first day and shopping will take place on the second day.
