My wife gave me an appointment with Canvas Styling (Kimberly) as my birthday gift. And it turned out to be one of the best birthday gifts that I received. I was nervous going into it. But Kimberly is an excellent listener and makes you feel at ease while going through the process. She genuinely cares about your style and what you want to achieve. The shopping experience was great. Kimberly had already pre-selected a collection that perfectly captured my preferences and quirks, infused with her expert touch. No more wandering through the racks, overwhelmed by choices. The clothes were quality, within budget, and most importantly, sparked joy. She also gave a lot of tips on how to pair clothes. It's amazing how something so simple can make such a difference. The entire experience with Canvas Styling, thanks to Kimberly's talent and guidance, was truly a gift that keeps on giving. The new wardrobe prompted a well-deserved date night as well :). I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their wardrobe. You won't regret it. read more

I think everyone has a superpower and Kimberly's is knowing about clothes! While this may sound trivial - it is not. Kimberly knows how clothes are supposed to fit, as well as what colors, styles and shapes look best on you. She will really listen to what you want, respect your price point and give you honest feedback. She knows brands inside and out (fabrics, petites, alterations) and you will walk away happy with what you purchase and the experience. Treat yourself to this experience - you will likely save money in the long run because you will get clothes with her that you will actually wear! I highly recommend her! read more

Kimberly helped me prepare for a business photoshoot selecting pieces that matched my style and that would stand out on my website. I become overwhelmed shopping but she selected items ahead of meeting with me. All I had to do was try on outfits and make decisions. The whole process was easy. This is the second time I work with her and she's fantastic. read more

This was the first time I've ever tried a service like this. I've always hated shopping because I never knew what to look for, what would fit me well, what colors go well with my complexion,etc. After a couple of tough years going through school, covid changes, homeschooling my little one, and working I decided I'd treat myself to a styling service. I can not say enough great things about Kimberly. Not only was the process painless and seamless, but I actually enjoyed shopping for once. She took my my preferences and budget into consideration. She pre-shopped for the clothes I would try on. We went over what we thought about the styles and how they looked on me. I never felt rushed or pressured. She also gave me tips on how to put together an outfit and little things that would add flair. She even took notes on my feedback and clothes to keep an eye in case there were discounts afterward. The clothes are well made and comfortable and I've gotta say that I've been so happy with my purchases that they're all I've been wearing. They're so versatile and are basically my starter capsule wardrobe I can mix and match. This service was so much better than stitch fix imo. I tried them for a few months, but the quality was much worse and the fit and style was definitely not on par with what Kimberly chose for me. Kimberly's service has way surpassed any expectations I had and I'm loving the extra confidence I'm feeling. Totally worth it! read more

I had an amazing stylist experience with Kimberly. She combines her expertise in fashion with much warmth and attention to detail. My husband gifted a consult with Kimberly as a birthday present - I was very apprehensive as I much preferred my way of online shopping and sticking to brands I was familiar with. Kimberly changed and brought in a whole different perspective for both my wardrobe and future purchases. With the home consult she deeply understood my style sense, my go-to style and my inhibitions. I showed up for my shopping experience expecting to spend a couple of hours going store to store but was completely and very pleasantly surprised that Kimberly had meticulously spent a couple of hours prior picking out over 30 outfits for me to try out! I enjoyed the experience trying out curated clothes, getting feedback and input on how to style based on my body type, skin undertone etc. She helped me enhance my comfort styles, experiment with new styles as much as I was comfortable with and pick up several styling tips that will serve me well for my future purchases. I ended my 3 hours with glee for such an unexpected and fun in-store shopping experience - thank you Kimberly! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Kimberly, who was personable, professional, efficient, and communicative. As the mom of two young kids who works full-time and will need to head into the office more in the new year, I really needed to update my wardrobe. (Plus, I have terrible taste and had stupidly held onto old ratty clothes from my 20s.) This felt like a big splurge, but I'm not that into shopping, and I wanted to choose nice, quality pieces instead of spending money on things I would never wear again. Kimberly gave me exactly what I needed - recommendations about what colors and necklines/cuts would look more flattering on me, and she picked out a great selection of business casual and casual wear that was comfortable, was in the style I like, could be worn interchangeably to either dress up or dress down the outfit, and fit me (especially since it was unlikely I would ever shed kid weight). The whole process was painless and pretty fun. She first came to my home and asked me a few questions to understand how I would be wearing the clothes and what I liked. She then went through my closet and we got rid of old and/or unflattering clothes (which was basically at least 50%). That gave her a sense of what I needed for work and home. Then we had a 3-hr shopping trip the following week, where she had reserved a private room and already pre-picked clothes and shoes for me to try on. She was also able to introduce things that I'd normally overlook, and I'd be pleasantly surprised at how much I liked these new styles. She was thoughtful enough to think through logistics - like giving tips on how to make clothes last longer, what to wear for the shopping trip, where I should park in the city, etc. She also brought to my attention clothing items that were on the more expensive side so that I wouldn't be blindsided by the total. I paid for her consultation services and, of course, the clothes. It's not an inexpensive excursion, but you can tell her what your budget is in advance. I was ok with the amount because I had bought very few items during the pandemic, and I wasn't a big shopper anyway. I think I got a pretty big haul of clothes for the amount spent (as confirmed by my friends who are far more into shopping than me!). Overall, I had a very positive experience with Kimberly and highly recommend her to anyone who is trying to look less like a scrub and is willing to listen to her advice. read more

OMG how have I not yet reviewed Canvas Styling? I met Kimberly when she was first setting up shop several years ago ... have used her services several times now, and have been thrilled every time. I have never understood going shopping for 'fun.' I find it time consuming and horribly frustrating - and exhausting. Kimberly does her homework - and it starts with you, to understand your style, your preferences, your budget - she'll pre-shop and prep and get everything together for you, and all you do is show up, and try on. She'll push you a little bit out of your comfort zone - you'll try on something you never would try on in a hundred years and it will look really amazing on you. She'll guide you how to put things together - again in a way you wouldn't have thought of yourself - and she'll tell you honestly what works with your body, and what doesn't. if you are on the fence at all - do it. It's worth every penny. read more

I have been working with Kimberly for over five years. I am someone with no sense of style or confidence in my style. Kimberly has been an absolute joy to work with. Not only do I feel amazing when I am done shopping with her (my very own makeover experience), she is kind, intuitive and teaches you so much. She has also come to my house to help me go throughwy closet and build a capsule for my fresh wardrobe. I have also been many sizes throught the years (three kids later) and she has seamlessly helped me find styles that work for my body in the moment. I always leave her feeling beautiful. And she is not pushy which was a huge plus for me. I highly recommend Canvas Stying. read more

Very impressed! Megan is truly talented when it comes to fashion! This review has taken me a while to write because I was trying to really decide how I felt, and now that some time has gone by here are my thoughts: Results: -- Initially requested Canvas to pick out 2 gifts on my behalf for 2 people who are incredibly difficult to shop for. Mind you she does not even know these people other than a couple of pictures and my description of them. Long story short, over a year later both these people still tell me how much they LOVE their gifts every time I see them. -- After above happened, I decided to invest more and asked for a shopping list. She picked out about 12 pieces for me, I chose about 7 of them that I liked. And totally blown away with how much I keep going back to those 7 pieces over and over again. She even gave me a little tip to cuff my pants casually when I am trying to casual things up, and it's hard to explain, basically I just look bomb.com and feel great, all because of Meg's help. Price: -- This was my first time paying for fashion consulting and I was definitely very reluctant to spend money on this. BUT, now that a few months have gone by I can vehemently say that it was worth every penny, and more. read more

Where do I begin? Like many others, I work in tech and really neglected my wardrobe over the years to the point where all I had were shorts and t-shirts. I never worked with a personal stylist before, but I reached out to Kimberly to get a completely new look and cannot say enough about the experience! She had a private changing room book at Nordstrom with a variety of jeans, khakis, casual button down shirts, and outerwear. It was so informative and fun! Cannot recommend enough. read more

I was in such a fashion rut and had nothing fun or exciting to wear, so I looked on Yelp and found Canvas Personal Styling. I sent a message and received a respond from Kimberly, booked a session with her in late December and went shopping with her mid-January. During our first meeting she evaluated my wardrobe and was honest about items I should keep and those that were not suitable for my body type. She gave me great tips on what to look for when I shop and how to care for my clothing. She really understood my style (or lack of) and was able to select fun pieces for me to try when we met for our shopping day. I really dislike shopping but Kimberly made it easy and fun as she has selected everything beforehand. Most importantly, she gave me her honest opinion and I ended up purchasing a few great key pieces that would complement my current wardrobe. I love everything I bought and use it regularly. Best of all, Kimberly was helped me stay within my budget (score!) and a specific timeframe so as not to overwhelm me! She followed up within a week and also set up a private Pinterest board with shoes since we knew our focus on shopping day would be clothes. She also recommended a few items I should consider getting to complete my wardrobe. I learned we don't need a huge wardrobe of clothing to be fashionable! A simplified closet with your favorite items make such a difference! I truly enjoyed working with Kimberly and would use Canvas Styling in the future for a special occasion. I highly recommend them if shopping is not your idea of fun but you're in need of a serious fashion upgrade! They'll take care of you. So go ahead, book a session. You won't be disappointed. read more

Kimberly is encouraging and great to work with! She did a closet clean out with me a few years ago and helped me part with some clothes that I needed to get rid of. She pointed out good pieces I had and gave me great ideas on new combinations with them. I appreciate how thoughtful she is in understanding what kind of look and wardrobe I want. Now that I've had a baby, my wardrobe is changing again and I'll be calling her to help me start with a new wardrobe and look. My husband asked for her opinion of his clothes and she gave him a few tips that he actually listened to. He now actually cares about what kind of denim he wears and if his work shirts fit well! : ) I definitely recommend her!! read more

I'd had "wardrobe refresh" on my list for nearly two years by the time I met Kim, and I was SO ready for some stylist help! I'm a picky shopper because I know what I like and don't like, and I want quality at an affordable price -- so going into stores feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Hiring a pro, who knows exactly which needle is in which haystack, was one of my best decisions of the year (or two, if you count the time I spent thinking about a refresh and not doing anything about it). Kim really listened and internalized what I was looking for, but also gave me appropriate nudges to push my style edge. The two things I loved best about working with her were the way she thinks holistically and strategically about how to assemble a wardrobe that works well together, and most of all, what a DELIGHT the shopping experience was! We had so much fun with trying on things I wouldn't have selected for myself, some of which turned out to be keepers. I honestly think I never want to shop alone again! read more

I booked my sessions with Kimberly with the goal of a new look after years of wearing what I'd call start-up casual. I was ready for a change, but had some reservations about making my look too "professional." Would I lose some individuality and fun in the process? Also, would Kimberly really be able to really understand what looks good on my body type? After the experience, I can't recommend Kimberly highly enough! She is fun, a great listener, professional, creative, and simply awesome at what she does. She took the time to listen and understand my needs...then helped translate that into a new look that didn't completely depart from my previous style (more of a fun evolution). On our shopping excursion, Kimberly has a talent for seeing the potential in my things where I could not. She encouraged me to try items that I ordinarily would have dismissed as not right for my body type. And my fear of looking corporate? Kimberly helped create combos that combined for an overall look that was not stuffy or unapproachable but rather polished and fun--and most importantly, totally me. What I love about Kimberly throughout this whole process is that she is absolutely honest and yet completely encouraging. No judgement. Just total support. Thank you Kimberly! read more

I'd never used a style consultant before, and I put it on my Christmas list one year to see about giving it a whirl--while I like looking nice, I have vanishing patience for filtering through racks and racks of things to see if I can find something that will fit me, let alone suit me well. So when I got a consultation from Kimberly, and she drove all the way up to Sonoma County to help me weed through my closet (as well as get a feel for my existing styling and sizing), I was both surprised and thrilled. Kimberly was super-duper personable, and knew how to challenge my notions of personal fashion and push my comfort-zone boundaries, without pushing things that totally weren't me onto me. We then had a follow-up visit to the Powell Westfield where Kimberly produced (as though by magic) a fleet of pieces for me to try on--clearly she had done her prep work! While a few didn't quite work once they were on me, the majority were simply spot-on and really helped me see that there were things I'd never have thought to try that really could work on me. She even stayed a little later than originally booked to help make sure it was all seen through. I cannot hope to convey my appreciation for Kimberly sufficiently, as she was incredibly professional and yet fun and engaging, turning something that is usually a drudgery for me into something great and inspiring. Kimberly, you rock, and if I didn't now live in San Diego, I'd have definitely set up another check-in with you already! Thank you again for all you done that still helps color my wardrobe to this day. read more

I did the Rough Sketch with Megan. Megan educated me on what looks good on me vs what doesn't by going through all the items in my closet. When something worked, she explained why it worked and what to wear with it. When something didn't, she explained why. By the end of the second closet, I could tell what works and what doesn't. She told me what I'm missing and directed me to a website for glasses and another for shoes. Thank you, Megan -- I feel a lot better! read more

It was so lovely to work with Kimberly, I cannot recommend or thank her enough. I have already recommended her to several of my friends and colleagues. She is incredibly professional, personable, and knowledgable. It's clear she has developed a tried-and-true process, but customizes it to each clients' unique needs. The time, money and energy saved working with her vs. struggling through it alone is so worth it. I absolutely plan on working with Kimberly again in the coming seasons. I'm so happy with how things worked out and I can't wait to work with her again! read more

Amazing experience! If you're reading this review, stop comparing other stylists and hire Megan. Seriously do it now - she's incredible. tldr: - Honest, patient and encouraging - Seriously knows style and fashion (and loves styling men) - Helps you find your look, even if you don't know what that is yet - Efficient with time, but never rushed - I was super comfortable through the whole process - Perfectly prioritizes quality with mindfulness of cost My story - I'd been a jeans and tshirt guy my whole life. Party comfort, partly laziness, and I think mostly just disinterest. Over the past few years, though I've been improving and optimizing so many areas of my life. It was time for my clothes to reflect the best version of myself that I was becoming. I finally decided to pull the trigger and hire a personal stylist after too many failed solo shopping trips. I just could never seem to find the right fit, or I'd constantly second guess my choices, end up buying something I'd never wear or could only wear with a certain outfit. It was exhausting and frustrating (and expensive). I figured if I was going to really take the leap and upgrade my personal style, I might as well do it right and get expert help. Megan came to my home for the initial consultation. We talked about my style goals and previous frustrations, and took a look at my existing wardrobe. She really took the time to get to know me and asked great questions which made me feel super comfortable. A couple weeks later we met at Nordstrom downtown where she had a dressing room reserved and decked out with clothes that she had preselected for me. I had no idea at first if something was a good fit, or my style, or even if I liked it or not. But Megan was super patient and, more importantly, honest. She told me immediately if something didn't work or if we needed to try a different size. Whenever she went to go get different styles or sizes, she'd always come back with a few more new things to try. It was such a different and pleasant experience to just hang out in the dressing room while someone brings you cool clothes to try on rather than having to go get them yourself. After awhile, I started to get a feel for the look I enjoyed seeing in the mirror. It was actually fun trying on new clothes! And it was amazing that everything Megan picked out for me went with everything else. I feel like I got way more because of all the different possible combinations of outfits I can put together now. We finished in the dressing room with quite an impressive take and got a few pairs of pants measured for tailoring. Megan made sure everything was done right and even got expedited shipping for me. Then we checked out some shoes options. Got a rockin pair of boots that we both loved immediately. I also tried on a few different casual shoes but none of them really spoke to me. Another great thing about Megan is that she isn't pushy - she made sure I didn't get anything I didn't totally love. After Nordstrom, we hit up Bloomingdales for a few more items. Again, she had a dressing room reserved and decked out. It was a quick stop, though - by that time we both knew what I liked / didn't like almost as soon as I put it on. There was just one shirt that she loved and I wasn't sure about. It was a little more adventurous than the rest of my new wardrobe. In the end, I decided not to get it, but I liked that Megan encouraged me to try it anyway. I'm sure I'll be getting some more adventurous items on our next shopping trip. I walked away that afternoon with a brand new versatile and fashionable wardrobe. I've been getting compliments from friends and coworkers left and right over the past couple weeks. And more importantly, I finally feel like what I'm wearing on the outside reflects how I'm feeling on the inside. Thank you Megan! read more

We have used Megan twice now - once for myself and once for my husband. She is incredible!!! For each of us, she helped us build foundational wardrobes after transitioning to different work environments. She takes the time to get to know you, your style, and what works for your lifestyle. She is approachable, knowledgeable, and always spot on with her shopping picks. I find shopping to be so stressful and not enjoyable, but with Megan it is easy, productive, and both my husband and I walked away feeling amazing and with an amazing new wardrobe. Worth every penny!! read more

Devon has styled me on multiple occasions for events in New York and Los Angeles, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll have to Facetime her if anything comes up now that she's in SF but she's always amicable. Great eye, and always makes me look good. read more

I found Canvas while searching frantically for style and shopping tips. Shopping already stresses me out, but added to recent weight gain, hair loss, and turning forty, I was in serious need of help to look professional in a new work setting. Devon returned my email inquiry quickly, and we had a phone appointment so she could gather information on my style challenges and goals, and go over package options and my budget. On the day of our appointment, Devon arrived a couple of hours ahead of me and shopped. I just walked in and started trying on the clothes. I didn't feel that I had provided much useful information, aside from the fact that I usually wear pants, prefer black and grey, and don't care for accessories...but somehow, she had selected a rack of beautiful pieces in the right size, at reasonable prices, that fit my taste. I appreciated her honest feedback and felt comfortable taking some suggestions on colors and accessories to try. In the end, the toughest part was narrowing down the choices - I loved nearly every piece she'd selected. Devon really pays attention to details too. I'd mentioned that my short torso and long limbs make it tough to fit clothes off the rack, and she came prepared with items that fit perfectly, no tailoring needed. I left with a full new wardrobe, including a couple of dresses, and some shoes and accessories that I feel comfortable and confident in. I hope to shop with Devon again in the future (and to get my husband in for a consultation!) - I would recommend her to anyone looking to update their style or get back a little of their confidence. read more

Devon is a style expert!! This was my first time ever being styled and it was a huge success! She acknowledged my personal style/comfort and seamlessly integrated it with ahead-of-the-trend pieces. I walked out with multiple head to toe outfits, show stopping dresses, and much needed accessories, all within my budget! I am now fully styled for a once in a lifetime vacation, and feeling awesome! Would highly recommend to a friend, great service and eye! read more

I had a session with Devon and I got a lot of good tips and new styles I never thought about trying. I needed to change my usual work shirt and jeans to mix it up and Devon pulled through. I have some new styles that I've been using a lot recently. Highly recommend Devon to give yourself a new style or if you want to dress for a specific occasion. Very knowledgeable in trends as well as an eye for how things fit correctly for different body shapes. read more

So I have a coworker who is darling. Lately, I've noticed a huge improvement in her style at work and so I asked her what the dealio was. She said she hired a stylist! She told me that Megan, basically, revamped her closet and her look. My coworker is a great judge of character and told me that Megan is really "bubbly and fun to shop with". It's clear that Megan helped select some great, classic versatile pieces and really gets the style in our VC/tech world. I was so impressed that I decided to write a review to commend her for transforming my friend/coworkers look from shab to chic! read more

Megan is absolutely helpful and amazing! I appreciate the time she took to help me do my research on personal stylist. I admire the hard work she does for her clients. I can't wait to treat myself for a consultation. Thank you again! read more

Elegant Masculinity, a phrase the exemplifies the match of my personality and style. Megan has enabled this from the bottom up and from the top down. From helping me pick out a pair of cross-functional casual navy suede wingtips with pink contrast stitching and lacing to recommendations on hair style. From my bespoke shirts' fabrics and associated design elements to my Scotch+Soda denim. She has advised me on what should be a man's only real accessories, his watches and eye glasses. Whether its a tour through Hayes Valley boutiques to trading screenshots of catalog items, I have been able to count on Megan ("Megs") for advice. She appeals to both the affluent and conscientious consumer in me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the entire spectrum of of your own style vision. read more

Kimberly is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fun! She can help anyone, anywhere feel more confident in minutes with a simple set of style changes! She's also great to have on speed-dial for big meetings, dates, etc. :) I trust her expertise and would recommend her to family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers! Her services whether short or long-term are an investment you will not regret. read more

I felt that my wardrobe was baggy and looking dated. I did not like spending a lot as I was afraid of buying something that did not fit me or looked bad. A lot of my clothes were from Costco as it was convenient and low cost, so low risk if it did not work out. Using Yelp I short listed 5 stylists and had calls with all of them I, to be honest they all sounded very competent on the phone and had ideas for men's clothing. I chose Megan as she had a web page discussing men's clothing, her price was within budget and she did not charge for travel to the Peninsular if I worked with her travel schedule. In advance of our first meeting she sent me a clothing questionnaire to fill to help her prepare. Next was a one hour wardrobe review at my home where she went through all my current clothes told me what to throw out, what worked and how to match the items I did have. She discussed my preferences and what my objectives were. My focus was more on smart casual dress than work clothes. For the shopping went to Nordstrom in Westfield Mall, SF. She went in advance and had staged a dressing room with preselected clothes for me to try. I quickly tried on several combinations and she gave feedback and listened to what I thought as well, but pushed me out of my comfort zone to try new things, I am so glad that she did. She knew the go to brands for my size and fit, that I would have never looked at myself, but were just the right choice. Also went to Gap and Uniqlo to select more items and even got items for the workplace which was not part of my initial focus. Megan also gave me some great tips on caring for the new clothes, and was prompt in replying to further questions over email. I am only wearing clothes Megan selected for me now and they feel just so good and have increased my confidence. I am very happy with the experience, it allowed me to spend a lot of money on clothes without fear that it would go to waste. Also allows me to buy new clothes with confidence. read more

I recently moved to the bay area from the mid-west and was in desperate need of a less corporate, more casual (yet trendy) look. My whole career I had dressed in a very corporate, polished, almost uniform look and that is NOT the bay area vibe! In coming to SF, I was also joining an apparel company and I would have been remiss in not having my own "look" and style. I worked with Megan and we started out by going through my current wardrobe. She took notes of cuts and colors that I liked and warned me from day one that she was going to challenge me to leave my comfort zone a little. She took the next week to shop for clothes for me at various stores. I met her one evening and we went from store to store for me to try on the clothes that had been set aside for me. We had a follow up session where she helped me pick shoes for the new looks and she helped me integrate my new pieces into my previous collection of clothes. (It was nice not having to totally ditch my previous wardrobe--it was all about re-purposing, styling and integrating the new stuff--very cool!) I get TONS of compliments on my attire these days. One of the unexpected benefits of working with Canvas (Megan) is that she educated me along the way--I truly learned things about how to put together a look that will benefit me forever! I've just engaged Canvas Personal Styling again, but this time to do something similar for my husband who is 6 ft 6 inches tall and as a result, very difficult to shop for. We can't wait to see what they put together for him! read more

Megan is amazing! She is an incredibly talented, knowledgeable personal stylist with a fantastic sense of style. With her fashion know-how and profound, intuitive styling skills -- mixed with her lovely approachable & easygoing personality -- going shopping with Megan is lots of fun & rewarding. She makes the whole process effortless, enjoyable & affordable. I love going home after just a few hours spent shopping with Megan to a completely refreshed, versatile wardrobe with endless options to make them into new outfits. Megan has refreshed my closet with a lot of fun, beautiful, feminine outfits & accessories that fit my personality & lifestyle. In the shortest time we have covered all my wearing occasions from work to weekends & dressed up events. I'm thrilled with the change Megan brought and love all the beautiful pieces she added to my closet. I highly recommend working with Megan at Canvas Styling if you want to reenergize your wardrobe & look & feel your very best. read more

I worked with Megan when I was in SF. My experience with her resulted in my seeing new items in my closet and connecting them with other items that I never would have thought of on my own. She's creative in how she puts pieces together, and always knows how to accessorize to make the look more "you". She's also great at looking at clothing on racks and knowing right away whether it will flatter your body so you don't waste time trying on clothes that aren't really made for you, and that results in a MUCH more feel-good (and efficient!) shopping experience than if I were just on my own, wasting time trying on stuff that isn't right for my body. She makes you look and feel like a million bucks without the price tag! Invest in a session with Megan- trust me, it is worth the money! read more

Kimberly is wonderful! She spent time patiently reviewing what was in my closet to start. When we went shopping she had everything picked out and all I had to do was wait in the dressing room! She got my style, knew my size, and we came in right on budget. I appreciated Kimberly's professionalism throughout the whole process but it also felt like shopping with a very fashion forward friend! I would highly recommend Canvas to anyone when revamping (or starting from scratch like I did!) their wardrobe. Well worth the investment! read more

I recently moved to the Bay area to take up a new job. Having spent the last 5 years as a grad student, my clothes were all old, cheap or worn. My wardrobe badly needed updating, but I kept putting it off because (a) I absolutely hate shopping and I don't have much time to spend on it (b) being a skinny guy, it is hard to find good clothes that fit, and (3) I have a habit of buying clothes that I hate as soon I take them home. So I looked around on Yelp for a personal stylist/shopper and decided to go with Megan as she seemed to have the best reviews in my budget. She started off with a one hour consultation at my house in order to get to know my tastes, lifestyle and what I wanted to get out of this experience. She even asked me if I usually feel warm or cold in my clothes, so that she could pick the right fabrics. She also went through my current wardrobe and told me what fits and doesn't. After that, we set up a 3 hour shopping trip in downtown SF. She seemed very knowledgable about sales happening in different stores, so we decided to go with Nordstrom. On the big day, she had booked a dressing room and had already preselected a lot of clothes for me before I arrived. So I was able to try on many different styles quickly, and got some great feedback from her on what works and what doesn't. This was a very educational experience! She made me try colors and styles that I wouldn't have usually picked by myself, but ended up loving. She also introduced me to new brands that I had never heard of but seemed tailor made for me. After the session I walked out with a brand new wardrobe. And the whole thing was so efficient that we still had time left (which she said we could use in another session). She was also very nice to talk to and made the experience a lot of fun. Megan also gave me some great tips on caring for the new clothes, and was prompt in replying to further questions over email. It's been two weeks since the trip, and the new clothes look and feel awesome. Overall, I am so happy with how this worked out that I am planning to do another round for fall/ winter clothes. I highly recommend Megan and feel that everyone should try this at least once in their life. read more

I'd been in a style rut for months now. I'd peek into my closet every morning and would pray for an outfit that worked. Being stressed about finding something to wear is not a fun way to start the day! I reached out to Meg for advice. She had Devon come to my house and edit my wardrobe. Devon pulled pieces out of my closet and created several new outfits. She paired a skirt I haven't worn in ages with a top I had just bought. She put together several new outfits I wouldn't have thought to put together on my own. Pure magic. I took pictures of the outfits and to refer back to when I get dressed. As a bonus, she even edited my boyfriend's closet. Devon is super talented. Perfect addition to the Canvas Styling team. read more

Kimberly is the best. I was introduced to her through my husbands family and we all use her now for her great styling tips, and marie-kondo-esq advice. She is a great listener and gently gravitates you towards things that you may not have picked out for yourself but look great in. She also makes the shopping process so much easier and her connections and tips/tricks help her customer's time and money go far! read more

My wife and I just had another great experience shopping with Megan. She picked out some really great stuff for her. We spent about an hour and a half trying it all on and my wife walked away with a whole new wardrobe that she's really excited about. Megan works really hard to make the experience enjoyable and positive. And she also has an uncanny way of picking out stuff that is on sale, so we didn't leave feeling as if we had broke the bank. On the contrary, we were amazed at what we could get for our money. She's the best! read more

I found Canvas on yelp and reached out to them and a few other stylists to learn more about personal styling. I have never worked with a stylist before and wasn't sure if it was the right thing for me. I'm a young professional struggling with the balance of my too-casual college clothes and too-formal banking blouses and slacks. I've been dying for a wardrobe refresh but I absolutely DREAD shopping and generally leave a store feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. I didn't even know where to begin. All I knew is I needed help! I got matched with Devon and first had a phone call to discuss expectations, style, and sizing. We set a date to shop, and when I arrived she had already picked out about 60-70 different items in my size, and had already paired them together to make complete outfits! I tried on all sorts of different items and we discussed what I liked and what to look for. Devon made the experience completely relaxed and laid back, and did a great job of picking items that were a little bit out of my comfort zone but that I ended up really liking. She was also conscious about price and picked a store with a huge sale going on which was awesome!! Overall Devon was very sweet, patient, and super helpful. I left the store with a smile on my face and a whole new wardrobe! I highly recommend working with Devon, I know I'll be calling her next time I need a refresh and I might be sending my boyfriend to her too! read more

I have always been the type of guy who can wear the same two outfits everyday. I was hesitant to try out a stylist at first but Devon made me comfortable and made finding the right clothes fun. She had a ton of insight into what looked good on me. From that first session I knew I could trust her to properly suit me up and face the world. Thanks! read more

Working with Megan has made getting ready for work everyday so much less stressful. I have a young daughter and not a lot of time to spend getting ready in the morning, but work for a company where style counts! When we shopped together she talked a lot about style and color so that now I am able to shop on my own. Plus, she is a blast to be around--I highly recommend! read more

I am so happy with my experience with Megan. We did a closet clean out and created many new styles with what I already owned and couldn't see!!!. This has made my mornings and my life easier. I look forward to working with Megan again. This is such a great and helpful experience I would recommend Megan and Canvas Personal Styling to everyone!!! So helpful!!! read more
