Beautiful, confident, and completely approachable, Tia Glover is Britain's greatest gift to the…read moreSeattle region! If you are in need of an Image Consultant or a LifeSTYLE coach, save yourself the search - this woman is solid gold! I've attended three of Tia's marvelous speaking engagements in the past year, all accentuated by her gorgeous British accent, and have also witnessed her stylist genius firsthand. She recently tracked down an elusive pair of Cole Haan booties for me (at half the retail price) and just last month completed an unforgettable Image Rejuvenation on my mother. My mother has NEVER worn jeans in her life, much to the exasperation of her four daughters, as she never felt beautiful or confident in them. My mother told Tia that she really wanted to find a flattering pair and she expected to try on at least "14 pairs" of jeans. After shopping, how many pairs of jeans did Tia bring back for my mom to try on? ONE PAIR. They fit so perfectly and were so unbelievably flattering - my mother was simply speechless (even if she couldn't stop staring at herself in the mirror!). Tia has a gift and her instincts are well trusted amongst her clients and friends. Tia is anything but another fashion stylist with a cookie cutter approach at dressing people in the latest fads. In contrast, Tia's passion is highlighting the unique personality and beauty of each of her clients, helping them to live as more confident and fulfilled individuals. Working from the axiom that outward image is but a reflection of what's going on inside, she will gently help you rebuild self-esteem and style confidence if life has knocked it out of you. I witnessed this transformation with my mother and its' truly remarkable. Tia's style advice is different for every person and she will never ask you to wear something you don't genuinely love. Tia's unique approach at styling will save you an abundance of time and money. She knows what to buy for you and how to get the best price. She keeps excellent records of her client's information and she knows exactly which industry contacts to call when the size you need is nowhere to be found. So much more than a hired stylist, with Tia you gain a personal friend and advocate who just so happens to be at the top of the industry for Image Consulting. I cannot say enough about the value Tia brings to her clients and I now believe every man and woman owes it to themselves to hire an Image Consultant at least once in their life.

Whether a client is changing careers, changing in seasons of life, interested in dating or any other event or change of life, Tia is able to help the client navigate what they need in their wardrobe to accomplish their most desired look or outcome. Tia builds her clients' confidence and recognizes each unique body type and what outfits make them look and feel their best. I work with Tia in various seasons and cannot recommend her highly enough. Plus her British accent is lovely to listen to :)

For starters, I need more than 5 stars for this review! If you had asked me a year ago if I felt…read moreconfident choosing clothing for myself, I would have answered "Yes". I move boldly through my life and I thought I knew what looked good on me. Something I read led me to Mellicia's website for Poplin Style Direction. Hours went by as I scrolled through her clients' photo shoots, style sheets, color and body shape profiles, outfits and testimonials. I was captivated. Several women expressed that they had spent so many years focused outward, that they could no longer see themselves. That rang true for me. Working with Mellicia has been an enlightening and transformative experience. It is a "trust fall" to let someone into your closet. By embracing the process, I had more fun than I ever could have imagined. I now have a colorful, stylish, unique wardrobe that reflects my creative spirit and my desire to support sustainable brands made by diverse designers. I learned so much about what looks good on me and why. I now know specific makers, colors and styles that flatter my body type. I am asked daily about what I'm wearing and get to say things like "This jacket is made of cactus leather", or "This bag supports craftswomen in Ethiopia". Mellicia brings her big heart, keen insight and years of experience in fashion to every aspect of the process. Whether I'm meeting with clients, going to a party, performing on stage or walking the dog, my clothes are a reflection of a newfound joy and pride in my appearance. I walk with a spring in my step. I will be forever grateful for Mellicia, she helped me find my "shine".

Working with Mellicia has been a total game-changer for me…read more From the very first session, she absolutely nailed my style. It's like she saw the version of me I'd always been trying to express, but hadn't quite figured out how to bring to life. Not only did she educate me on the types of clothes that truly fit and flatter my petite frame, but she also introduced me to colors, patterns, and shapes I never would've picked up on my own. Now, I get compliments on my outfits all the time, and I genuinely feel more like myself when I get dressed. And don't even get me started on the tailor sessions, pure magic! For the first time in my life, my clothes actually fit me. Everything is custom-fitted to my proportions, and the difference it makes is unreal. The whole process with Mellicia was fun and empowering. She didn't just upgrade my closet, she also helped me step into a version of myself that feels polished, confident, and aligned with who I am. If you're on the fence, don't be. Mellicia is a style genius, and working with her has been incredible!!

I cannot recommend a Cuniform wardrobe edit highly enough! It was such a gift to have Christine and…read moreColton's expert fashion sense at my disposal for a few hours and I highly recommend them to anyone else wanting to refresh their look, or just feel more confident in their everyday fashion choices. Even before we met, Christine and Colton were incredibly thoughtful and attentive in their work to understand me and my wardrobe needs so that by the time they went in for the edit, I had total trust in them. I was specifically wanting help weeding out things that were no longer age appropriate now that I'm in my mid-thirties -- they did that and helped me identify styles and silhouettes that are flattering and not too young or too old for me. I've felt great wearing these new looks and have been getting tons of compliments ever since I did the wardrobe edit. Since I have a limited budget for clothes, I was a little concerned that I would come away feeling frustrated that I couldn't afford to update my closet according to their recommendations. That hasn't been a problem at all since they worked with a lot of pieces I already owned, and directed me to good second hand options for items on my gap list. I feel that in the long run this consultation will help me be a more economical, conscientious shopper because I now have the ability to make smarter, more streamlined purchases and to make better use of the items I already own.

I'm not a huge yelp reviewer, but I had to write about these two, so I'll keep it short and sweet…read moreso you have more time to call them. I could talk about my experience, which surpassed any reality show level makeover experience ten fold, but you really should just call them now. Call them. Cuniform isn't just personal styling, it's also a course in lifestyle development, in adulting, frankly. Their approach is both responsible and refreshingly straight forward without a trace of elitism; they are truly devoted to revolutionizing their client's personal culture to save the environment, promote ethical labor practices, and create amazing daily "uniforms" for all the roles in your life. And there's no woo-woo crunchiness about it; they'll gladly deliver a succinct and powerful manifesto about the wastefulness of fast fashion, and cite substantive experience, reading and research to support it and their solutions. I have felt a change for the better in my life. Seriously. Their dual commitment to ethical business and efficacious organization creates a sustainable, recyclable wardrobe model that feels like it is creeping into the rest of my life. It's an amazing experience to feel the goals in your life uplifted by the clothes you wear. (Unburdened, I should say, from the ridiculous cost that might usually accompany a make-over; after asking them I found out that these two work with an astonishing dynamic range of budgets.) Call them and give it a try; your closet is full of things you don't want but you can't get rid of because of some reason but they'll help, get you dressed, and on the right track. It's awesome.

The tad on the pricey side. I hope to send clients here to help them dress better in the futureread more

My only regret from this workshop is that I didn't take it SOONER! I work in Corporate Finance for a Fortune 100 company. My goal is to stay on the "fast track" and work my way into a C-suite position. Kim's workshop is designed for individuals who are serious about moving to the next level in life. She provided excellent pre-work/homework to get us to narrow down the qualities we want to most portray, such as "leadership, compassion, influence, or vibrancy/energy" to name a few. Then, we spent the workshop talking in-depth about these qualities and how to incorporate them into a "physical appearance" or personal style. Kim's workshop was top-notch and excellent. If you're looking to the "push limits" of your style and brand and/or be fully who you were designed to be, I'd highly recommend working with Kim Peterson. She's knowledgeable, passionate, and a true "champion" of people. I won't ever regret this investment.

Wardrobe stylists might seem like something exclusive to celebrities in Beverly Hills, but I have…read moreused two stylists since moving to Seattle. Style By Wendy was a pure delight to work with. I hate shopping. My stress level goes through the roof when I am in the racks or in the dressing room. Wendy made the experience a lot of fun -- and I walked away with great items -- from Marshall's no less -- that I would have never bought on my own. Wendy is an expert at body shape and color coordination and how it relates to clothing and accessories. When something doesn't work in the dressing room, Wendy hits the racks while you relax until you find something that works -- or move onto the next store. For casual work wear, she steered me into v-neck tops (I've always been exclusively crew neck) that my wife absolutely adores. I picked up some dress shirts and pants as well. Wendy then helped me floss my closet and clean out all the clothes that no longer fit or are no longer hip (I've been holding onto some business attire since the mid 90's). Wendy's specialty is women, though I've seen two other men whom she's dressed and they look fantastic as well. She also offers compassionate and empowering advice and moral support to people exploring their gender identity. For a good friend, having Wendy by her side was just the courage boost she needed as she walked into the women's section for the very first time. Talk about a life changing referral. Best advice -- don't shop for a full day -- bring snacks or plan a lunch break to recharge your batteries. Most importantly, have fun and step outside your comfort zone even if you don't buy it!

Meeting her at Nordstroms isn't just shopping-- it's an experience, where everyone knows your name. Trying on is a pleasure because all the work is eliminated. Returning home, she'll build you outfits blending your old and new items. On the outside, your transformation is quick and visible, but it's Wendy's magic that starts your real transformation from within. Thank you, Wendy, for guiding me toward being my best self. Invest in yourself. You are worth it. Hire Wendy.

It's always been hard for me to spend money on something I feel like I should be able to do myself,…read morethings I "should make time for," things I "should figure out." But hiring Iris was one of the best investments I've ever made for my family. I was a new mom at the time and felt extremely in over my head. She completely transformed my kitchen in a way that actually works for real life. It's been about six months since she organized everything, and my kitchen is still completely functional and easy to maintain. Every single thing has a home, and for the first time ever, I've been able to keep it that way. If you've ever felt overwhelmed in your own home, I highly, highly recommend Iris and her team. They don't just make things look pretty, they make your home easier to live in. Next up for me: my closet and my front hall closet! Life is stressful enough; your home should be a space that brings you peace, not stress. Iris helped give that back to me.

I thought I could handle reorganizing my home on my own (I mean, I watched that Marie Kondo show…read moreduring the pandemic). But as soon as I started, I realized it was so much harder than it looked. Sure, I could get rid of things or put items away, but actually creating a functional space that would stay organized when life gets busy is a whole different story. I consider myself organized and have bought all the bins before, but what I lacked was cohesion and functionality, something that only comes from professional experience sourcing the right products and designing a cohesive approach. Cue Iris. I could not be more grateful for the peace, functionality and organization Iris has brought to my life! There are so many things about Iris that made her the right person to work with. For one, she deeply cares about getting things right. Whether it's your taste and preferences or your needs for functionality, she is meticulous in designing a plan that will work for you. As an example, we have a rabbit, so we have to be careful about certain types of products we use and what's accessible in his space. She sourced items that would keep our space tidy while also keeping him happy and safe! Additionally, Iris ensures your home is a living and breathing space. She creates systems that aren't just temporary, but that you can grow into. We all know that all too familiar feeling of shoving things into hidden spaces just to get them out of sight. With Iris, she helps you think through the intentional use of space and finds a functional space for what you need, while (gently) encouraging you to purge the things you don't. Iris transformed not just my home but my entire approach to organizing. Her eye for detail, sense of style, and skill in creating systems that are sustainable (and beautiful) left me feeling genuinely relieved and so much lighter. I didn't even realize how much my cluttered, chaotic spaces were impacting my well-being. Now, every spaces flows, each item has a purpose, and I feel calmer, more productive, and happier just being in my own home! I work from home so this is extra important! We invest in so many different things, but often overlook just how impactful our physical environment can be in our own health and happiness. If there's anything I learned from this process, it's that hiring a professional organizer and stylist is key and Iris is easily the best of them all.

When the transport service informed me that their delivery date had changed to an earlier arrival in Seattle than when I would be there to accept delivery of my car, I had not choice but to take a risk and reach out for help.
