Let me chime in with yet another (well deserved) five star review for Fern Date and Ladan. My…read morethoughts are similar to many others here - frustration with the online dating process, love-hate relationship with the apps, not finding quality men, and having a bit of occasional writers block when I did actually connect with someone. So when I decide I am actually going to do something, I tend to move quickly. I setup a phone consult (right from the Yelp app) and talked to Ladan the very next day. We then had a face to face meeting three days later, and another within the next week. She was able to setup a photo shoot for the very next day to supplement some of my existing photos with additional casual photos (shout out to photographer @emilyjoangreene - she was awesome too!). And voila - we went live 24 hours later. Fast forward to 8 days later (today) and I have already received more "likes" than I had in all my previous online dating adventures. Three upcoming dates confirmed, and this is FUN, not frustrating anymore. Ladan moves at your pace, helps you showcase the best of YOU and doesn't try to make you into something that you're not, is accessible for those silly follow up questions, and basically just downright amazing. She loves what she does and it shows.

I think the best way to sum up Fern Date is that Fern Date celebrates you. From the very first…read moremoment I talked to McKenzie on the phone asking about Fern Date, I felt very hopeful. I signed up for all the services Fern Date had to offer. All my interactions with McKenzie were very warm. She was very helpful in helping me think of how I wanted to portray myself. She made me laugh during the photoshoot and brought out my playful self. Ladan was great with creating my profile to attract the right men. I posted my online dating profile today and already have likes that I think I will like to pursue. I would highly recommend Fern Date if you need help with online dating, or if you are just at a point where being celebrated will do your soul wonders.

I've worked with a few personal stylists over the years and Margo is the best. She first came to my…read morehouse to do a closet edit. This felt like the equivalent of someone helping you part with sentimental items that are creating clutter. Why wear things that don't fit well, you're keeping for that one time when..., or are not classics and are actually dated? When I met her for shopping, I made some quick judgements about some of the items she picked out, thinking, "I'll never wear that." But much to my surprise, those items looked great. Margo nicely pushed me out of my comfort zone/rut of wearing the same colors (hello navy and black!) or buying 3 of one item. She also taught me why some things were unflattering and how to pick things that would be, how to know which jeans would fit best, and how to accessorize. Everything was in my price range and each time we met, almost everything she picked out were items I bought. Margo is so worth your time and money!

Tired of a wardrobe that made me look like I was in college (worn-out hoodies, jeans, chuck…read moretaylors) when I was moving into a more professional role at work, I came across Margo's info thanks to fellow yelpers and got in touch with her. It was time and money well spent. I went from wearing about 20% of my clothing 100% of the time (and not feeling so great in it) to 100% of my clothing 100% of the time, and feeling much more confident about how i was presenting myself. Margo was really fun to work with, and although I wasn't sure how it would be shopping with a stylist, it felt like shopping with a girlfriend who was honest, helpful, and fun to be around. I was on a budget and didn't purchase everything that we found, but she did help me find plenty of great pieces and I got an idea of what sorts of brands and styles were a good fit for me. We met three times over the course of a month or two - once for the closet audit, once for the shopping trip, and once for her to put together some outfits with what we bought (she encouraged me to take photos of the outfits, and it's been a lifesaver). She was in touch via email between and after these sessions, checking on how things were going, sending helpful links, answering my silly questions, etc. Oh, and do you get those annoying little holes in the belly area of your thin shirts? She's got a solution for that . . .

I hired Alison and she acted as though she was qualified to do the job. In my experience and…read moreopinion, she completely failed at what she was hired to do. I expressed this to her and asked her to take responsibility for her failure. She reacted by having a lawyer send me a letter threatening to sue me over a tiny amount of money. She didn't ask me to talk about my experience, nor did she show me any courtesy or empathy. Needless to say, it was a very disappointing and negative experience.

I went away with two great pairs of pants, a lovely Habitat top, and the determination to go back again soon. Don't hesitate to pay a visit to The Difference.

I found Glenna Fashions by doing a search on google. I have never done this type of thing before so I had no idea what to expect. On my first meeting with Emily, she came to my house to help me go through my closet. She helped me get rid of some items that I probably should have donated a while ago and put together outfits with the clothes that remained. It's incredible the combination of cute outfits she came up with using the clothes I already had. She made me feel very comfortable and taught me what kinds of pieces I needed as basics in my closet. Our next visit was a shopping trip to help build my closet into a stylish wardrobe. She is WONDERFUL! Very knowledgeable about fashion. I was amazed at how quickly she was able to pick out clothes, scarves, and accessories that looked fabulous together. We had a lot of fun and I really learned a lot. I HIGHLY recommend her and am looking forward to our next appointment.
