If you’ve decided to employ the services of a Personal Shopping Service, then there are five very important things that you need to look for when making your choice. There are loads of Personal Stylists out there; try performing a search in Yahoo! for ‘Personal Shopper’ on the internet and odds are you’ll be baffled by the sheer number of personal stylists available to you.

You should know however, not all Personal Stylists are created equal, and you should be careful to choose the right shopper for you. After all, you are going to be placing your look and your funds, into their hands! So here are five things that you might want to consider when searching for a Personal  Shopper;

Their Level Of Knowledge

Even a simple search of the web for ‘Fashion Stylist Courses’ will yield a bewildering array of classes, however not many of these courses are run by recognised educational institutions such as Universities – and as such they don’t all carry a lot of credibility. If a personal stylist announces that they have received a ‘Diploma of Fashion’ or some such, it does not necessarily indicate that they really KNOW style. It just means that they have completed a course. What you should look for is someone who has demonstrable fashion experience – someone who has been in the fashion industry for a fair amount of time, and has absorbed a lot of the ‘tricks of the trade’.  

Testimonials

Do some research! Wherever you are, you should be able to locate a Personal Stylist service somewhere close by . I suggest that you do some research; have a good look through the websites of the Personal Shoppers in your area and read through the testimonials they have posted. If they have any integrity these testimonials will be real and will give you an insight into the level of service offered by that stylist.

They Need To Care About YOU

For me, this is the key element of a really good Personal Shopper. The best stylists take a huge amount of personal satisfaction in seeing their clients gain new confidence in their appearance. It’s not just a ‘job’, for this kind of Personal Stylist, teaching their clients what looks fabulous and what to steer clear of is their way of boosting their clients self esteem and confidence. Using their style skills, they can quickly determine your body shape, size and the different tones that will work with your eyes and hair. A genuinely great stylist will then use this to help you purchase clothes that make you look great, that fill you with confidence and help to build your self esteem.

Integrity    

Something that you would do well to consider before choosing a personal stylist is their level of integrity – you have to be able to trust them. You have to be able to trust that they have your best interests as their main priority, and they’re not taking you to particular stores so they’ll get a commission. Some Personal Stylists get commissions for bringing their clients to shop at certain stores. This isn’t always a bad thing, as some Personal Shoppers will pass on some of the savings to you. Sometimes however, these commissions can influence their decisions on which stores to go to, meaning that you might not be receiving the level of service you are paying for.

Professionalism

You need to choose a Personal Shopper who is a proven professional in what they do; shopping isn’t just a ‘hobby’, it’s their life. One way of examining how professional they are is to have a really good look through their website – what message does their website send? Is it just an assortment of wordy html pages, or does their website reflect its owner’s sense of style and class? 

I hope these tips has been of help to you. Now get out there and ensure that you select a personal shopper who meets your budget, who knows your body shape and style, and most importantly, someone who understands YOU.
