I told Sue that I've never found clothes that really fit, and didn't think we could even find pants that felt - and looked great on me. She has this ability to see you, and immediately find the perfect fit and look for you. She is SO much fun to work with! I now have a much better sense of what clothes work for my shape, and even better - I have much more appreciation and LOVE for my body. That is a much bigger gift than I could have imagined receiving. I think it's Sue's fine mix of understanding style, shape, beauty, and - how we can get lost in a sea of self criticism and body shaming. She has an incredible ability to see you - and change your life. It's that simple. I love Sue. Sue and Style Rehab are amazing!!

It's difficult being in my early 30s, single, working in tech and having a lackluster wardrobe. My…read morework outfits have to look professional without looking "corporate". I also need age appropriate, feminine looks for dates. Needless to say, I wasn't pulling it off shopping on my own and it was hurting my confidence. My closet was embarrassing small due to the fact that I didn't enjoy shopping and I had a hard time finding clothing that fit (I'm 6 ft tall). I heard about StyleKouncil at an event and read the yelp reviews ... eventually I decided to give it a try. Working with Kat was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and I wish I had done it sooner. We began with a survey and a review of my closet. I didn't know what my style was, but Kat seemed to ask all the right questions until we landed on "classic and feminine, but with an edge". She showed me how to work with what I already had and made a list of pieces I needed. A few weeks later we went shopping. Kat went ahead of time to pick out pieces in the morning and I went in the afternoon. I usually go to stores and feel overwhelmed by too many options. It was so great to simply walk into a dressing room full of clothes that fit and matched my personality. Kat was also great at helping me feel relaxed at the beginning (excitement & nerves got the best of me for a second) and at gently nudging me out of comfort zone (I didn't own a single skirt until I went shopping with Kat and now I can't wait to buy more!). I told Kat that quality was important, but I also liked getting a good deal as well. Luckily, she knew where all the deals were and, excluding two investment pieces (that I absolutely love!!!), everything was on sale. I came home with 18 new pieces and was well within my budget. We didn't find every piece on my list, but I'll be shopping with Kat again when the spring/summer collections arrive. It's so much less stress in my life to know I'll go shopping 2-3 times a year for a few hours and walk away with great looks. It's a great confidence booster for my professional and dating life. I cannot wait to go to work on Monday and for my next date. I cannot recommend Kat and StyleKouncil highly enough!

Kat was a life-saver. I've been in school more or less continuously since 2007 and my work attire…read moreduring that period consisted of scrubs. So suffice it to say that my business attire was next to non-existent. I was nearing the end of my graduate degree and preparing for several interviews when I realized I needed to rectify this. I located Style Kouncil online and described my predicament to Kat. The particulars included a recent weight gain (subsequent to a new baby while in my 40s while in grad school) as well as a total lack of wardrobe basics. This was further complicated by my need to have several interview outfits within a week's time. Though I was skeptical of the need for a closet inventory due to a lack of clothing and my recent purging (I'd already Kon-Mari'd the closet) this part of the process proved necessary. It allowed Kat to see first hand what I loved/hated about my current wardrobe as well as make a very detailed list of basics that I needed to acquire. As I was unemployed, Kat developed a lovely billing plan that I could afford. She really hustled to fit me into her wicked busy schedule and get me into some clothes (not easy to find great clothing options for size 14-16 but she did it with style). I met her at the Bloomingdales dressing room and she already had racks of outfits waiting for me to try. I felt like a million bucks. We also hit two other stores in the mall to fill in some needed basics/shoes; I was all set for my interview. The first several interviews I went to resulted in job offers. I'm certain the confidence I had as a result of my wardrobe greatly contributed. What's more, I took what I learned from the process with Kat in terms of brands and silhouettes that look good on my new figure and used it to fill out my wardrobe all on my own (see included pics). I can't emphasize enough how fantastic Kat is. She really keyed directly into what my needs were and I always felt my best interests were at the forefront of her mind at all times---really--right down to her making certain I was not being taken advantage of by a clerk's sales pitch. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of this service. I am 100% going to have her work with me again as soon as I accept one of my job offers and am getting that cash money!

Joe K. and I met this artist during the Sacramento Arts Festival. Mitchel Rubin stood out right…read moreoff the bat with his out going personality, funny sense of humor and his original artwork. While he is a true contemporary artist that explores specific shapes, colors and designs on canvas, we were also attracted to all the wearable art that he had on display. Specifically, the hand painted silk ties, bow ties, cumber buns, suspenders, hats, and even some Mardi Gras style masks. My boyfriend doesn't get to dress formally very often, and when he does, it's usually pretty standard looking attire that every other man normally wears. Mitchel Rubin added some interest and fun into dressing up for that special occasion. There were many colors to choose from with his original, eye catching abstract designs beautifully painted on each silk accessory. My boyfriend finally narrowed his decision down to a red bow tie. Which he looks forward to wearing when the time arrives. We had an enjoyable time talking to Mitchel about his history as an artist and how his life evolved today. If you are looking for that unique gift for the man who has everything, Mitchel might have some ideas for you, or you can request something made to order just for yourself!

Mitchel Rubin is basically a tie salesman that hates fat people? Well; maybe not whimsical fat…read morepeople? He only kinda hated me. Fortunately, like the major portion of the population, he has learned to tolerate us and fortunately he is a very good tie salesman. Sorry Mitch, I know I started the conversation and you did say it was a conversation you were uncomfortable with because it was one that you could not win. Ok, maybe I am not being completely fair. Let's get to what is important. One look at Mr. Rubin's hand painted whimsical designs on the highest grade silk products and you will realize he is a very talented artist that takes his work extremely seriously. I am proud to say I have a custom, one of a kind tie by this talented craftsperson and I am coveting a pair of custom braces. You may be asking yourself; "what the 'heck' are braces? Braces are suspenders that hook to buttons on your pants rather than fastening to your waistband with clips. I certainly will be buying a pair of these hand painted masterpieces as soon as I have the money to not only afford the braces but a pair of pants with fancy buttons to accommodate them. Of course, a really nice French cuff shirt with custom cuff links would completely rock this look. Mitchel also has custom painted cummerbunds and bowties and is accomplished painter as well. Check out his site some time. http://www.mitchelrubindesigns.com/cummerbunds.htm

She is inspirational, supportive, sharp, respectful, and a whole lot of fun to be around! With her coaching and advice, I am finally feeling like my look expresses who I am, and supports the way I want to show up in the world. And people have noticed!

Just to re-iterate, here are 3 reasons why everyone should use them: 1) They showed up on time, friendly as ever! 2) They were able to work within our budget and still provide super great services! 3) The props were customized to the bride & groom and so unique! I definitely recommend using them for any event, they're great!

First off, let me say that planning my California wedding from Chicago was not easy. I could not meet with vendors in person and did a lot of decision making based on emails and the reviews of others. There was a lot of stress but I did not feel any of that with SnapBots. In fact, I liked them so much that aside from having them as our photobooth I asked them to design my wedding programs and table numbers. Why I loved SnapBots: -They were professional at all times, on time, and prepared -They customized the photobooth to be special for my wedding without huge up charges - They were flexible--they even agreed to stay late as a last minute request because our guests could not get enough of the photobooth -They followed up promptly after the wedding and I was able to get access to ALL the pictures right away Before going with Snapbots as our photogbooth I researched a LOT of other, more expensive options but I could not be happier with my choice of vendor. I highly recommend you snap this group up for your event before they are booked up!!

I had quotes from a few other companies, but chose Izukee after they explained everything with no high-pressure confusing sales pitch or per-page fee! I chose them because of the content management system and how it would be a website that I could work with and add my own text, photos, graphics and articles to.
