She had trouble letting go of anything without approval/encouragement. She had been a student most of her life and couldn't invest much time or money into my wardrobe. So she tend to play it safe in clothing selections. Now that she is more established (or maybe purely bc my sister-in-law thought Wife needed professional help), she recommended this company. I am so glad she did. Supreet and her team were fantastic. They took the time to know my wife style preferences, filter thru the closet, and create a realistic plan for filling in gaps. They were flexible with our hectic schedule, responsive to questions/concerns, organized and deliberate in their delivery, cost conscious, and seem to really enjoy and have a passion for their work! I highly recommend them!

I had a great experience with Lili at her color party! I've recently done a deep dive into the…read moreinternet rabbit hole of seasonal color analysis and tried some home draping and digital draping. I had developed a decent understanding of color theory but was having difficulty figuring out the subjective part of which colors made me look better or worse. I saw how affordable her color parties were compared to individual color analysis and brought a friend up to the city for a girls' evening. As a neutral muted light-skinned Eastern European girl with an olive overtone, I had guessed that I would be soft summer or soft autumn. I was surprised to see a clear preference for light summer (and light spring in second place) during the draping session. I never would have guessed a light season since I always thought pastels washed me out, but it turns out they brighten and even my skin tone and make me look less tired and sallow. Goes to show how much more effective an in-person session is compared to virtual. I also loved watching her drape others. It was easier to be objective and see the difference on someone else vs yourself. My friend looks fantastic in her soft autumn drapes. The session included an overview of color theory as well as looking at different kinds of makeup and quizzing us on whether they were warm or cool shades. She also gave recommendations on which metallics for each of us to wear (eg for a formal dress but also jewelry) and we took home cards with our palettes and recommendations. Thank you Lili, lovely work!

I cannot recommend the Personal Shopping Experience more - a ton of value for what it costs, especially if you're looking to completely change your wardrobe. Lili drove to my house, we went through style aspirations and how I want to be perceived, she conducted a color analysis, went through the likes of my current wardrobe and created a list of items to shop for. I met her the following week where she had prepared a huge amount of tops, pants, jackets, and shoes for me to try on. I had a great time and kept most of the clothes. She is honest about what looks good on you and has the innate ability to understand when you know you just don't love something and we put it back. I will be contacting Lili again to style me for another season for sure! Lili - thank you so much for helping me build my new wardrobe. I'm feeling much more like myself and everyone has been able to see my new confidence and loves the clothes as much as I do. See you soon!

Working with Kathryn was such a delightful experience. I already had a custom palette made by…read moreanother color specialist (sans draping), and I am of course aware of the conventional color analysts that send you home with a pre-made palette. Kathryn simply took color analysis to the next level--she went through a series of drapes under neutral lighting and explained the effect of each drape in detail. Sure some of the palette is based on my hair/skin/eye color, but it ended up being so much deeper than that. Furthermore, I'm impressed by the cohesiveness of the palette. From neutrals to colors, each shade works beautifully on its own and with others. Price is on the steeper side, but since (1) she's based in the bay area; and (2) you will be receiving fabric swatches (i.e. not printouts or paint chips), it's still worth to me.

Met with Kathryn today for an individual consult. She was able to quickly identify some base colors…read morethat worked best for me, but then went into great detail to find darker shades, the right neutrals, and the right metals. This wasn't your typical TikTok draping analysis. She took time to explain why she was choosing certain colors and why she was avoiding others. She didn't just diagnose me as a "spring" and leave it at that. She took into consideration my skin, hair, eye combination to find custom colors that were perfect for me based on my specific coloring. Much more than you would get out of ChatGPT. Her expertise goes far beyond a simple seasonal color analysis. She also helped me with some online shopping to guide me in the right direction in purchasing new pieces for my closet. If you want to ensure you are investing in the right pieces to add to your closet, invest in Kathryn's services. You will not regret it!

I think everyone has a superpower and Kimberly's is knowing about clothes! While this may sound…read moretrivial - 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.

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!

My wife gave me an appointment with Canvas Styling (Kimberly) as my birthday gift. And it turned…read moreout 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.

I knew my closet sorely needed a refresh as I do not buy that often, and I was searching for…read moresustainable quality brands within my price point. I had tried multiple brands that offer monthly styling boxes, but I didn't like the styles or quality each time. Paul came in and audited my wardrobe and got to know my preferences and clothing needs, then he used his extensive knowledge and did extra research to find me brands and items that he felt I would love... and I did love them! I was thrilled to find eco-conscious brands that fit my petite frame (very hard to find my size), and Paul solved so many of my clothing issues with insightful suggestions on how to wear specific pieces in a more stylish manner. Also, he made sure my current pieces matched well with any new items, especially since I wanted to keep everything in rotation. My experience was beyond my expectations because Paul is deeply knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, and because I felt he really LISTENED to what I wanted while gently nudging me to expand/improve my style. I look forward to working with him again in the late spring so I can refresh my summer wardrobe!

After years of dressing very simply (CTO "hoodie uniform") I wanted to create a more curated…read morewardrobe but didn't know where to start. I chose to work with Paul because of his online reviews and I'm so glad I did. Even with my high expectations, he exceeded what I'd hoped for at every turn. Paul not only is amazing to spend time with (explaining lots of little tips and tricks along the way that have been useful and stuck with me), he is also very efficient with a thoughtfully designed sequence of meetings (some virtual to align on goals and define my style, some at my house such as the closest audit, and some at the mall where he prepared fitting rooms and made shopping actually enjoyable). The final product: a wardrobe I really look forward to every day, and even a helpful 'look book' of curated outfits (there's something pretty magical about flipping through the pages to pick out something I like and knowing I have all those items in my closet already!) If you have a similar goal, and want someone to make it an easy and delightful process, I highly recommend Paul!

We started basic, a tweak here and there, and progressed into more dramatic moves, only when and as I was comfortable. She is an awesome person and her professional advice is worth every dollar!

She was honest and give me great feedback and I definitely felt like a good spring cleaning (what a great relief!!!!). I liked her sense of style and she gave me good inspiration for combinations of things I could come up with based on what I already had. We also identified some gaps, which we then worked on with Carrie. I just had so much fun shopping with Carrie! (And I hate shopping). It felt like shopping with my best friend , and a friend who has a good sense of style. She was respectful of my budget, areas of my body I was conscious of, and the things I was looking for in general. It was time so well spent and so worth every penny for busy professionals. Highly highly recommend!

Very nice lovely woman but my overall experience with her was certainly not worth the $450 I paid…read more I could go into how I was told a two-hour session "typically' meant 25 complete looks but only got 13 after paying for three at $150/hr (even though I did everything I could to prep her including clearly outlining my expectations, style & what exactly it was I wanted; making sure all my clothes, shoes, etc were displayed/laid out/hanging on rolling racks to maximize efficiency)... and how I had to go back and request a second courtesy appointment to get the additional looks (which, in her defense, she did agree to and was very nice about)... obviously not the ideal experience but she did resolve the issue to my satisfaction so at that point, we were square in my book. But then it took THREE MONTHS to get a hard copy of my look book --- the lookbook which was the *entire reason* I hired her in the first place... the lookbook that she said would arrive on my doorstep within a week or so... the lookbook that she says she sent but never actually arrived. (And when I requested a tracking number or the name of the site she ordered it from, I didn't get a response.) I finally got the book after I saw her offering a Daily Candy deal for styling services -- a few weeks prior she had told me she was (understandably) unable to do anything about my lookbook as she was out of town attending to a sick family member. I didn't want to bug her but after seeing the Daily Candy email I figured if she was around to do Daily Candy stuff, she was probably around to send me my freaking lookbook. I sent a cordial yet firm email mentioning Daily Candy and immediately got a response-- the tracking numbers and lookbook (yay! finally!) arrived just a few days later. I get that stuff happens but it would be awesome if people could manage expectations -- don't say it will take a week when it takes a month. And don't make clients chase after you for something they've been promised or already paid for. As far as her fashion/styling abilities, the looks I got were ok BUT I think that's more on me than a reflection of her abilities. I had requested looks more in tune with SF's more relaxed, laid back vibe but a relaxed, laid-back style just isn't me. (I like my tailored/severe/menswear look. Sorry, SF.) The looks were like something you'd see in Lucky -- nice and well put together... just not my thing though.

Definitely reach out to Guerilla Makeovers if you want to better understand your sense of style and find some fun but truly versatile items to tie together your wardrobe. I feel so much more confident now, and I learned some tips that will help make getting dressed every day more FUN. Beth's incredible design sense and creative approach makes her gifted at her job, but on top of that she also is also an excellent listener. She really takes into account what you like and helps you to make choices that you feel confident about. After feeling seen, I now feel inspired! I will definitely be going back to her the next time I need a refresh! Highly recommend.

Met at Macy's. Saw a sleek young woman standing there, but no it wasn't her. Hippie-looking woman,…read morelong tangled hair, maxi skirt, complaining about menstrual cramps...that's her! Went to Macy's clearance racks (did I look poor?) and tried on some clothes. Not really my style but that's the point right? She was able to get me a discount which was nice. Didn't go to any other stores. Bummed because I have a Macy's at home. I wanted the San Francisco experience. Next was a salon (friend of hers) where I got basically the same highlights and cut/style that I get from my own stylist for 3 times the price. Wrapped it up with makeup, actually from Macy's make-up counter which they do for free. It was strongly suggested I buy some of the products. Underwhelmed. Then she mentioned most people tip so of course I did. When my husband picked me up he was surprised I didn't look much different. Back at our hotel I tried everything on for him. We both decided most of it was too young for me or just not practical. Think club wear. I kept 2 or 3 pieces, and returned everything else the next day. The same salesgirl was there. I explained the situation, and she said she could help me look. We found several nice outfits. She was very kind and helpful. So would i recommend? Absolutely not. I think a personal shopper at Macy's would be a much better choice.
