My wife booked a color appointment with Abbie and loved it and encouraged me to book one too…read more I was really surprised to see the changes to my face when Abbie compared colors that look good on me vs. colors that don't suit me. I used to wear black shirts pretty much every day, and after this appointment, I switched to some colors from my palette that look good on me. I have received some compliments from friends and family who have noticed the change in how I look. I hate clothes shopping, but this has made it a lot simpler because I know what colors to grab. Definitely worth it

Abbie is fantastic! I booked a color appointment with her and it was such a great experience. She…read moremade the process very enjoyable and I learned a lot from her. I was happy to find out I was an autumn since I gravitate to many of those shades already, BUT I was surprised to find out how many shades are in the autumn palette that I didn't expect. There were many colors that look so good on me that I would never have bought before. It was shocking to see how sick and washed out I looked in colors I have previously bought and worn when compared to the colors in my pallet. The colors in my pallet made it look like I had a healthy glow. I especially loved trying out House of Colour's makeup! I have never had a foundation that has truly matched my skin tone (and I've had makeup artists try to match it). Abbie got it right on the first try! Neither of us could hardly even see where she swatched it because it matched that well haha. The House of Colour makeup is so nice and it has good, clean ingredients which is great. Their primer is suuuper velvety and I really enjoy it! I am so glad I booked this appointment with Abbie. I feel way more confident going shopping now and it is way more enjoyable knowing the clothes I bring home will look great on me. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Abbie!

I reached out to Shannon during a time when I felt completely buried. Full transparency, I…read morecontacted several organizers because I did not even know where to begin. I had boxes I never unpacked after moving in over a year ago, plus a wave of new boxes from the UK with items from my mum and my nan. It was emotional and overwhelming, and I needed my home to feel like my space again while honoring the things I had inherited. Enter Shannon and everything shifted. She helped me tackle every corner of my home: both bedrooms, my closets, the linen closet, the downstairs storage, all of it. She did not just organize, she helped me rethink how I live in my space. We redesigned areas I never would have thought to change, and the difference is unbelievable. Shannon and her team were incredible. Patient, kind, thoughtful at every step. She never pushed, never rushed, and always respected my things and the stories behind them. What felt like heavy emotional work became something manageable, even enjoyable. She found beautiful ways to incorporate the items I inherited so I can actually see them and appreciate them instead of keeping them boxed away. My home finally feels calm, comfortable, and like a place where I can exhale again. She helped me create a space that feels safe, warm, and truly mine. If you are overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need a fresh start, Shannon is the person you want beside you. I genuinely could not have done this without her.

We added a new pantry to our existing kitchen and I wanted to make sure to use the new space in the…read morebest way possible. I also needed help organizing the rest of the kitchen! Having Shannon's help has transformed my life! Sounds dramatic, but seriously, having space for everything, knowing where to find things and being able to easily access and see all of my tools and supplies is the best feeling EVER! My husband reminds me ALLLLL the time how much he loves his own space for his cycling bottles and powders. Shannon is very enjoyable to work with, she's also quick, methodical and practical. Thank you, Shannon! I will definitely use you again and recommend you to my friends.

Talked…read moreto Abbey and they were really cool and showed me around and talked to me about the store and talked to me about the stuff they liked there. Got a really nice turtleneck for a really good price from their thrift selection as well as a bat ring that I absolutely adore! My mom (being a mom) was a bit concerned about some of the symbols on the turtleneck i wanted to buy and they were eager to explain them to her. They were super welcoming and overall just very warm, and their pricing was very reasonable for the things they had in stock. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Never having the money to wear any of the seasons designers clothes, I did try and pick up a piece or two on sale at the end of the season. I always thought a great pair of shoes, handbag and the mantra of " hi - low" would get me by. Over the last 2 years I realized I had some great pieces in my closet but had no idea how to put them together or how to think outside of the box. And I didnt know how to find a stylist who would work with a budget, Until I met Barbra.... I purchased Barbra's services off of guilt group on a blind whim. I had never met her, seen her work or had even spoken to her. I knew I needed her though. I NEEDED someone to sift through my clothes and create outfit options for me. I didn't want to be obligated to a stylist who only shops retail because I have 4 NYC private schools to pay for. Not an option particularly in this economy. Barbra has the perfect business paradigm for normal people who want to look great. Her thinking is awesome. Firstly? Everything is about reworking or consigning. She does an intake phone call before you meet her which could go on forever because her energy is much fun. (you hang up feeling like you just talked to your best friend!)then she comes bubbling into your home with a huge suitcase of consigned clothing from either her own clients or from Decades 2 in LA. The hottest and highest end consignment store for all the stylists and their actor clients. Then you get down to work. She is a magician with styling. Things I didn't even know I owned and things that I hadn't worn in years, she made hip, current and edgy. She styled my mothers 45 year old velvet Pucci maxi skirt and it rocked. I could go on and on. I ended up spending two afternoons with B and cld have used two more. I took pics of every outfit with accessories and shoes, bags. I refer to those pics every time I go out. Moreover, people notice. I get so many compliments on how I look and I can feel people tracking me when I go to a restaurant. Barbra has given me new insight onto dressing and how to present myself. She truly has made a huge impact and I thank her all the time. My husband is theist happy! Thanks Babs!!! Plz excuse typos. I'm on my iPhone.

Working with a stylist might seem like a total splurge, but when I had an unexpected career change…read more-- it was time to let go of the past and enter the new (fiercer) future. It now became a necessity. I first met Barbra at an event at Beckley's on Melrose. She was part of a group of experts discussing the importance of fashion on image and branding. After I heard her no-nonsense eco-friendly approach to styling (reuse, repurpose, recycle -- THEN buy something new), I knew I wanted to work with her. Of course it didn't hurt that she is also a British Vogue online correspondent and a published author of Closet Control. Any way, she takes her business SERIOUSLY. Prior to her first power session with you, she advises you to get plenty of rest and eat something because it is going to be intense. Wow. This was kinda like the advice I got prior to doing my first Triathalon last year. And then we went for it. Years of clothes and shoes were thrown out, and things were repurposed and reworked to create things I didn't think of putting together. Old faves were retired, but that ultimately made room for new faves. This was some serious therapy as I was sooooo attached to my stuff, even though I hadn't worn things in years. Some stuff still had tags. Anyway, I have a better sense of what woks for my figure. She also strongly suggested that I rethink my attraction to expensive handbags, and invest that money elsewhere in my wardrobe. I still refuse to let go of Marc and Louis and Yves, but I haven't bought anything new. This makes the BF very happy.

Didn't even tell her my size. She was very quick and is absolutely amazing at what she does. I also felt bad because I needed my dress before Thursday, but it needed to be altered. She said that this was fine and that I could pick up my dress Wednesday! Mind you, I came in on a Monday!!! Again, cannot recommend this place enough!

Linda is the absolute best in the industry…read more  I walked into BeMeChic without an appt (I didn't realize you were supposed to have one) but she took me anyway and helped me find the perfect dress for a "Bridgerton" themed wedding I was attending. She was able to rush the alterations and do them with only 3 days notice (dont put this kind of stress on her if you dont have to, but I am extremely grateful that she was able to do this for me!). In addition to Linda's beautiful dresses, this is also a beautiful boutique with chic fashion- jeans, tops, purses, shoes, jewelry, accessories. One stop shop to put together a perfect outfit for any occasion.    One more thing I HAVE to mention- Linda also has a really good fashion sense and an eye for what looks good on your body type. She wont let you get out of there in something that is just not going to flatter your body.  Go to BeMeChic for your next occasion! I definitely will.

Candace is nothing short of amazing. She helped me in early February and together we went through…read moremy entire closet. Most importantly, she helped me narrow in on my vision and clothing style, and how the two would intersect. She also educated me on the different brands and how to tell good quality clothes from mass-produced clothing where you're paying a high price just for the brand. 8 months later and I have been slowly curating my ideal closet based on that initial consultation, and her lessons always run through my head whenever I go shopping. I also really appreciate that she's always available on her Facebook group as well whenever I have a question for a continuing education! As someone who has always struggled with fashion, my consultation with Candace has been incredibly pivotal in helping me to express myself that way I've always wanted to!

It was honestly more than I could have hoped for. Candace is exceptional in what she does and…read moreclearly enjoys it. She is very detailed and creative and I would recommend her to anyone I know who is looking to spruce up their wardrobe for a special occasion or even just to change their daily style. We started the day reviewing my old clothes. She showed me why some clothes weren't working for my body type and kept the ones that fit. From there, she made a list of clothes I needed for my lifestyle and where to go to find them within my budget. Usually shopping days are very stessful, but with Candace's guidance and new education she provided, I am rocking it! Thank you Candace - 10 stars if I could!

Now |'m getting compliments everywhere I go and my friends and co-workers have to do a double take because they didn't even think it was me because I looked so fashionable!

I have been to a numerous amount of spiritual and metaphysical shops and find the entire…read more experience (start to finish) to be important. I walked in there early on a Friday in hopes of getting a candle as a gift for a friend. The woman behind the desk was talking at full volume about another employee she said has "bad vibes", and did not greet me. I don't claim to know the whole story, but this woman was going on and on about this other employee in such a negative manner, i coughed to let her know i was there, hoping maybe she hasn't seen me come in. She continued on gossiping and degrading this other employee behind her back. She also mentioned something about Santeria and cursing people. Wtf?!? When i approached the desk to ask her the price of a candle, she threw on a very cheery tone and immediately offered me a tarot reading. Why would i want a reading from someone who was just loudly gossiping about someone? The woman then offered to bless the candle for me! No thanks! I am telling you.... This lady has bad energy. The only reason i gave two stars is because the incense selection was super awesome. I think the owner should look into who is doing readings there because this lady had the most pious and holier than thou attitude I've come across in a while.
