She first helped me sort through my closet to pick out items that I forgot I had and showed me how many options I already have that were great (plus helped me find some items to donate/discard). Then we went shopping together, which was the best part - she helped me update my style, feel confident in my new clothes, and helped me see the versatility of various pieces. Alison also offers a variety of packages and works with you to find the right fit for your needs. Would definitely recommend!

She has an incredible eye for what works and really took the time to understand my style and personality. I feel more confident, polished, and like the best version of myself. If you're looking for someone to guide you through a personal style transformation, I can't recommend her enough! Plus, her location in West Holywood is so convenient making the experience even better . Thank you so much!

I can't say enough good things about Karen Rosa. She is not only incredibly talented and…read moreknowledgeable, but also one of the kindest, most inspiring people I've had the pleasure of working with. Karen helped me with a color analysis to find the perfect suit for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, and the experience was amazing. She also introduced me to personal shopping--which I had never done before--and made it feel effortless and exciting. Karen truly understood my style and helped me find looks that made me stand out as a musician here in LA, while still feeling authentic to who I am. I trust her so much that I've already recommended her to my friends, family, and even had her do a color analysis for my mother and her friends. Karen is professional, humble, creative, and just a joy to work with. I highly recommend her services--you'll be in great hands! - Vo Williams

I'm a guy, I hate shopping. Well, hate might be too strong a word, but I strongly dislike it. Years…read moreago I heard about personal shopper services and finally decided to give one a try after reading reviews on Yelp. Michelle was very pleasant and accommodating via email and set up an appointment with Kristin, one of her stylists. Kristin was fantastic - full of energy and a great personality.; we got along with ease. I never felt pressured to try anything I didn't like and she didn't hesitate to give her thoughts about any color or look she wasn't feeling. No pun intended but it really did feel like I was shopping with a friend. I powered through an exhausting 5 hours (I don't have much shopping endurance) and left with an assortment of new shirts, pants, jeans, and accessories. The experience definitely broadened my perspective and gave me a great foundation to continue with moving forward. I'd recommend The Shopping Friend's services to any guy out there, whether starting from scratch or just fleshing out their wardrobe like myself.

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.

We had the pleasure of hosting Mary Komick in our office for a color analysis event, and she was…read moreabsolutely wonderful to work with. Mary was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly efficient while still making each person feel seen and cared for. She provided personalized color season cards that outlined the best colors to wear, along with guidance on jewelry and makeup choices. The cards were clear, practical, and easy to reference, which made the experience both fun and actionable. Our team truly enjoyed their sessions, and many of us walked away feeling more confident and excited about our personal style. I would highly recommend Mary for corporate events or team experiences. She brings expertise, warmth, and a seamless process to everything she does.

Before I hired Mary as my personal stylist, I really struggled with the idea of someone coming into…read moremy space and being judgmental or not understanding what I would be comfortable in. But when I met Mary, I just felt at ease. She was so easy to talk to, not judgmental at all (but assertive when necessary to let me know when things needed to be let go) and I felt a great connection with her. I hired Mary because I knew I was in a rut, stuck in my comfort zone with my style which was neither impressive nor flattering. I really needed help to expand my horizons as far as what I could wear that would still be me but also give the outward impression that I wanted to give. I felt my previous style was tired and I was wearing too much of the same thing. Now, I feel amazing! I love all my new clothes and how Mary created new outfits using my existing wardrobe. It all feels cohesive, easy but also sophisticated. I feel super confident in the options I have when getting dressed now, whether it's going into the office or going to a work event, where my style helps me be more outgoing. Truly, the eye Mary has for matching to your color palette and the silhouettes that will be flattering is incredible. Mary is just amazing and provides so much value to anyone she works with. She is incredibly organized from the consultation call to the offboarding, telling you exactly what to expect and then she usually goes above and beyond and does more than what is even promised. I'm just incredibly grateful for the experience and would recommend her to anyone.

How do I love her? Let me count the ways:…read more 1) She cleared out my closet of all the unfashionable ugly clothes; 2) She curated a sophisticated and fun new wardrobe to suit my specific professional and personal needs; 3) She got me several of the coolest shoes and boots I've ever owned; 4) She helped me accessorize said New Wardrobe; and 5) She created a Lookbook for me that I have on my iPhone! No more standing in front of an over-packed closet, scratching my head, wondering what I'm going to wear! Working with Meg has been extremely therapeutic for me. I have some very specific body issues that I've never successfully addressed. Not only is Meg non-judgmental and compassionate about these issues, but she was able to accommodate my requests in ways I didn't even know were possible! Here's the difference between a Meg outfit and an outfit that I put together: every single time I wear a 100% Meg outfit I get a compliment. When I wear clothes of my choosing - no comment. Without fail. I'm not exaggerating. I now predict and look forward to the compliments in my Meg outfits. And btw, this still continues, over one year later... I'd like to think that I'm a smart cookie. So I've tried to learn from Meg and copy some of her choices, thinking that I could garner those compliments on my own. Nope. As a matter of fact, most of the clothes that I buy without Meg, I end up returning. They just don't have that special "je ne sais quoi" that she brings to the equation. Another interesting experience with Meg: all my life I thought I was a size Medium or Large because I was considered tall in my day (5'8"). Wrong! Meg sizes me in Small and even Extra Small! What? Who knew? So not only did I have bad taste in clothes before, but I wasn't even buying the right sizes - and this applies to shoes as well! With shoes I've learned it's not about the shoe size, but about the fit (duh.) However, psychologically, I'd never think to try on a size 7 since I've been an 8-8.5 my entire adult life. But, let me tell you how comfortable those size 7 sandals are on my feet - they fit me like lambskin gloves... For Valentine's Day I bought Meg's special V-Day package for my husband. At 6'4" and size 15 shoe, he's a difficult guy to fit. Not for Meg! Not only did she add some very cool clothes to his wardrobe, but she got him a new suit that is so hip, he looks at least 10 years younger. The man makes the clothes, I know, but let me tell you what a difference it is to put that man in some newer, more up to date clothes and shoes! ;-) So, if you're anything like me and you always thought that Stylists were for celebrities - think again. Working with Meg has been the best investment I've made in years. Do not look any further. Pick up the phone right now and call her to make an appointment. You'll be so glad you did!
