SERVICES FOR MEN AND WOMEN

PERSONALIZED COLOR, LINE AND PROPORTION ANALYSIS - 2 1/2 hours

Cynthia has trained personally with Carla Mathis, AICI, CIM of the Body Beautiful Institute, and is certified in all levels of color analysis. In the comfort and convenience of your home or office, Cynthia uses the Body Beautiful Level II Professional color system to analyze the colors in your hair, skin and eyes and to determine your optimal reds, brights, pastels, neutrals and metals. After your consultation Cynthia will provide you with your personal and portable color palette you can bring with you when you shop to make your wardrobe choices a breeze.

During your consultation, Cynthia also provides a full analysis of the lines and proportions in your body and face. You’ll learn some key styling secrets on the spot. After your consultation, Cynthia will provide you with an individualized written summary of your consultation and recommendations for your wardrobe choices.

WARDROBE CONSULTATION - 3 ½ hours maximum per session

Whether you’d like to go through everything in your closet, you prefer a seasonal approach or you’d like a review of select items in conjunction with an upcoming special event, Cynthia can assist. The wardrobe consultation is the second step in moving toward your new image and takes place after your receipt of your personal color palette. You’ll learn:

Which items of clothing fit and flatter.
What items need tailoring to make them work, or to make them work better.
Which items are ill-fitting, the wrong color or just plain tired and are ready for recycling to make room for new items.
What items to put on your wish list to fill the holes in your wardrobe.
How to utilize all the pieces in your wardrobe.
How to mix and match to multiply your style options.
How to use jewelry and other accessories to personalize your look and develop your own personal brand and individual style.

PERSONAL SHOPPING

Cynthia can also assist you with personal shopping by “pre-shopping” and bringing you in to the retailers you prefer for a streamlined shopping experience. Services are provided on an hourly fee basis.

PLUS SIZE SPECIALTY

Full figured, plus size, plush size, and curvy women, look no further. Cynthia is a rarity - an image consultant with a personal understanding of your concerns who knows how and where to find the resources to help you achieve the personal or professional image you seek. Cynthia provides coaching in all aspects of personal and professional image for both full-figured women and big and tall men.

COMMUNICATION COACHING

While much of image is visual, your body language and the style of your spoken and written communications also send messages to those around you. Knowledge of etiquette and protocol can prove you are promotion-ready or suitable for invitation to the most prestigious club. Cynthia can coach you in improving your image in these subtle but important ways that make a difference in how you are perceived. Services are provided on an hourly fee basis.

What does it cost to work one-on-one with The Image Counselor™?

You’ll find that the services of The Image Counselor™ pay for themselves. Instead of a closet full of things that “sort of” work, you’ll have a wardrobe of items that fit you beautifully and take you wherever you want to go. You’ll stop wasting time and money on purchases that don’t support your goals and your style. And the boost in self-esteem? Let’s just say that it’s priceless!
