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!

I am slowly replacing items we lost in the Eaton fire, and not only did I find some nice jewelry pieces, they had a lovely vintage Hawaiian dress that brought back a flood of nostalgic memories. On top of that, J and R were so kind and gave me some items to help us on our rebuilding journey. They showed remarkable kindness and warmth to a random customer, and they really were a highlight of my week! They took time out of their day to listen and make recommendations, and their store is a real oasis of treasures and positivity. It's well with everyone's time to stop by, check their stock and support a local business!

She makes you feel and look amazing! I had no idea there was so much to styling but now that I've had my taste of it, I want more! I have 4 permanent appointments a year with her, 1 for each season to refresh and update my looks! I couldn't do it without her. Also if you need help for a special occasion, well that is where you'll see her true talent, like she couldn't get any better, well hold on to your horses! She knows all the tricks from under garments to make-up & hair styling, jewelry, accessories, you name it! I looked 10 years younger for my high school reunion without Botox! No joke! She's worth every penny and more! I actually was so happy with her work that I gave her a big bonus! I more than highly recommend Jackie, she's more of a NEED than a want! Just a footnote, she gets busy around the holidays and the Emmys so get your appointment ASAP!

Since the "Before" Pics are already here - I'll post some "After" Pics with this Review - showing the major upgrades.

Carolyn is so kind and sweet, and she made going through my outdated closet efficient and fun. She took into consideration things I cared about, and found me looks that met my needs, but also breathed new life into my wardrobe (like color! and patterns!). The whole process was also so, so easy. Carolyn brought a whole bunch of clothes, I had fun trying things on, and then she came back one last time with different sizes and some tailored clothes. I really appreciated that she understands fit -- when it came to something fitting well, that was a non-negotiable, and I learned a lot from Carolyn. The lookbook is a great resource and I've been using it when I need ideas. But honestly a lot of the pieces go so well with each other that I haven't had any problem putting something together. The whole experience was far more fun than I expected, and it's had a bigger impact on my day to day than I ever expected. Thank you, Carolyn!

Disappointing experience. The service did not meet the expectations that were set in writing,…read morecommunication became difficult, and when I raised concerns by email, I often did not receive a response at all, so I ended up cancelling - wouldn't you, after being ignored for a week ? The digital wardrobe was an interesting concept, but I did not find it particularly useful in practice. Most of the items I purchased were ultimately returned or sold. There were also purchases I did not feel I had approved, and when I attempted to address these concerns, I did not receive a meaningful response. Because my concerns remained unresolved and not responded to (I had given a week), I cancelled our final meeting as it's awkward having someone ignore you then come to your home. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable continuing the working relationship. The fashion suggestions were very basic ie "where a cardigan with a dress" and not what would expect from a stylist, more like something at the mall. This review reflects my personal experience as a paying client. Based on that experience, I would not work with this stylist again.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Carol is great! She was recommended to me by French Hand Laundry. I brought my antique wedding…read moredress to her after another tailor almost ruined it. From the minute I walked into Carol's home/sewing studio, I knew that she was going to be able to save my dress. Why? Because I quickly learned that she had the three qualities essential for a good tailor: experience (an M.A. in Costume Design and 30+ years of alterations), creativity, and the ability to listen. Believe me, that last quality is extremely important in a tailor. I learned the hard way. Carol warmly listened to my wishes, concerns, and even amateur alteration ideas, before thoughtfully and gently examining the dress, and brainstorming ways to fix it. She is very creative. I like to sew and tailor my own clothes so I appreciate that she listened to my ideas, even if they weren't necessarily good, or economical. Lastly, Carol has experience working with antique garments, which in my case was extremely beneficial. Not everyone understands or appreciates Edwardian era clothing. Carol respected the history of the dress, while also making a couple of alterations to make it more contemporary. One of the alterations she did was to take in the sleeves. At the time, I kept asking her to take them in more, but in retrospect she was absolutely right in stopping where she did. If she'd taken them in like I originally asked I probably wouldn't have been able to lift my arms! Not to mention that she was working with a 100 year old dress, which, while not fragile, could have ripped when I was dancing. The other tailor wouldn't even take in the sleeves, and then Carol went and took them in! She also gave me a lot of pep talks. And good advice on the proper undergarments to wear under the dress. And tips on what to do if I broke out in a sweat (hello pit stains!). Lastly, her sewing studio is very clean. She even laid a sheet on the carpet for me to walk on, just in case I picked up fluff from a black garment she had been working on. And she hand ironed my dress!!! It was so smooth that even though I had to transport my dress from Los Angeles to Cape Cod, where I got married, it stayed wrinkle free and I didn't even bother to try to get it ironed before my wedding day. As my friend said at the wedding, the dress "fit me like a glove." Thank you, Carol!

I purchased a dress and in the moment of being so excited to find a polka dot dress, I guess I didn't notice how the bottom of the zipper made me look like I had a duck tail (see before photo.) I explained my issue to Carol (who by the way is my cousin and lives across the US from me) and she said she could fix it. Before shipping the dress to her, I sent a couple photos so she could see the exact problem. She was confident she would make the zipper fit properly. She worked her magic and I no longer have a duck tail (see after photo.) I was thrilled because I wanted to wear the dress to an upcoming event. I recommend Carol for anything from original designs to alterations - you will be very pleased with the final creation.
