In addition to being good at her job, she is also a very caring and conscientious and a truly genuine person. We feel blessed to have her assistance and feel very fortunate to have met her and have the opportunity to have her help our family out. I highly recommend her services and would encourage anyone who is looking for someone to help with personal assistant tasks or pet sitting, to give Heidi a chance. You will not be disappointed!

I am a hot mess. Not…read morereally, but my apartment is. I have searched high and low for home organizing services. All of them were too expensive. I'm not going to pay someone $65 per hour to purge my closet and organize my 250 sq. studio. I found SOS on Yelp. The 5-star reviews seemed questionable but after my experience, they deserve them! I started with a 3-hour appointment with Callie. She's an absolute doll. I am amazed by her creative organizing solutions! We went through my walk-in closet and kitchen. It helps to help. I couldn't just sit back and watch her organize my belongings. It can be tedious, but it's worth it! We accomplished A LOT. I couldn't have done it without her. I just don't have the motivation or drive. I can see my floor again! I found my favorite sweater! Everything makes sense now! I love, love, LOVE how organized my apartment is. I am so happy I found SOS and met Callie! I finally got it done! Plus: It feels nice coming home now.

I had a 3-hour session with Sarah. My condo was being renovated at the time, so I had furniture…read moreeverywhere and people clanging and hammering upstairs. Sarah was great! I have a little IGTV show, and she was cool with being a part of it. We cleaned one side of my SUPER cluttered closet. And she gave me homework to work on the other sides. She would hand me boxes, I'd go through them and separate into shred, donate, garbage, recycle, or keep, and hand them back and we worked like that for the entire 3 hours. It's been maybe a month since she came and that side of my closet still looks like the day she left. It's kinda weird to have a stranger come into your house and help you go through your clutter, but just remember, they are there to help, not to judge. I'm only giving 4 stars because I sent a message saying I wanted her to come back and I just never heard back from them anymore. I'm thinking my place was probably tooooooo much of a cluster for her. EEK!!!

Where do I start! What an absolutely game changing experience. First off Lora is such a kind and…read morewarm person, she was so supportive and your own personal hype women throughout the experience. I did the Customize Styling Session. We spent the day together cleansing my closet of clothes to make room for a fresh and updated looks. She then setup my own personalized boutique and we tried on clothes, pairing things with my existing wardrobe. I was amazed at how well everything she brought fit and throughout the experience she helped me elevate each outfit with styling including the perfect shoes, jewelry, and belts to complete the looks. Her follow up afterwards was also so helpful, making sure any items that I needed I had the right links/sample boxes sent to fulfill those needs. If you ever feel like you need some help elevating your style, Lora and her service is the perfect answer. For the first time in a long time I am excited to go to my closet and am having fun putting together outfits. That is thanks to Lora and her support, education, and tools.

I actually love to shop and do a little too much of it, although in recent years find myself…read moreshopping more for my kids than myself. A few years ago we had my daughter's bat mitzvah and I found the most difficult task of the weekend was coordinating all the wardrobes for the entire family. And finding a dress for myself when the department stores carry so little these days was impossible. And now my son's is coming up and the thought of doing it all again was daunting! I decided what we needed was a personal stylist and I turned to Yelp for help. I came across these glowing reviews for Lora and emailed her right away. She wrote back within minutes and being someone who really values responsiveness I loved her immediately. We set up a call to go over all the details. Our initial call involved me telling her about all the weekend events, what the kids wanted to wear/not wear (my 14 year old daughter can be especially particular) and describing what the decor of the party would look like. I followed up with pictures of what we wore a few years ago to my daughter's bat mitzvah, as well as sample decor for my son's upcoming bar mitzvah. Lora sent me all the info for her pricing, which seemed fair and well worth it. To be fair I would probably spend more shipping back returns since many of these stores (ahem saks) don't do returns for free these days. We then set up a day for her to come style the entire family, but decided she would start with me...and then we could figure out everyone else's outfits around mine. Styling day arrived and Lora showed up with suitcases filled of beautiful clothes. She nicely kicked me out of my room and set them all up. There were a lot of clothes and accessories (shoes, jewelry, pocket squares, etc), but again this was for 3 events for a family of 5. She had some beautiful dresses for me, but there were 3 very clear winners: one for the friday night dinner, one for the service and another for the party. All were dresses I likely wouldn't have picked out myself and she helped me figure out what the service dress would look like once my seamstress was able to shorten it to the perfect length. We also decided the party dress would be better at midi length. While I took the longest, I was one of her easier clients because then she met my husband who hates nothing more than trying on clothes. Fortunately, she had it all laid out for him to make it as easy as possible, but he did his fair share of grunting as he tried on one outfit after another. And my daughter was even more difficult. The first party dress she tried on couldn't have been more perfect, but wasn't what she had in her mind originally so it took a few weeks of trying on more dresses (that I bought on my own) before she admitted that one of Lora's picks really was perfect. My boys were pretty easy, but are in major growth spurt mode so she needed to send clothes in different sizes. One of the best things about Lora is that she does all the returns for you, which saves a lot of time. Lora took pics of everything before she left and a week after sent me a lookbook for each outfit, which will be so helpful when I'm organizing everything for the big weekend. She also send me links for everything else we needed for the big day (ex: clutch for me, suits in bigger sizes for my boys, etc). And thanks to Lora I think every member of my family has outfits, shoes AND accessories for all 3 events that weekend. I can't wait to post pics of it all after the big weekend and I'm even more excited to do a everyday styling session with Lora after the bar mitzvah is done. She also does closet organization so can't wait to use her for that as well!

I went from listing to closing on the sale of my condo - with a FULL PRICE OFFER in 21 DAYS!!!…read moreWhile it has been a hot market in many places, condos in my neighborhood have been taking longer to sell so I never would've imagined closing less than a month after I listed the unit for sale. I had an inkling it might sell quickly when the contractors came back to finish up after the unit had been staged and they didn't recognize the place they'd been renovating for months. Then I saw the *spectacular* listing photos and I wanted to buy the place all over again! The buyer loved everything so much they asked if they could buy all the furnishings (everything you see in the photos is from PS Lehman). I know the staging played an outsized role in making this too-good-to-be-true deal actually true! I couldn't be more grateful to the team at PS Lehman - from the very first contact and every step along the way until the unit was empty - they took all the stress out of every step and helped me get a result I never imagined. If you are thinking of hiring them to stage your home - do not delay! I could not recommend them more highly.

I've admired, coveted and (fine, okay) stalked NEAT Method's Instagram for the last several years…read more Finally, I caved and admitted it - I needed help. Brooke, Kim and the NEAT Chicago team helped me during a recent move to organize my "big problem areas" (my words, not theirs) - kitchen, bathroom and entry closet. My previous space *looked* organized, but was really very haphazardly stored - suffice to say, like items were often not with like items, and it resulted in a lot of duplication and chaos. I also was coming off of several years of heavy business travel - resulting in a disaster of a toiletry situation. Tiny. Bottles and Samples. Errrrywhere. Kim and her team spent one blissful Friday basically fixing my life: they arrived in the morning, spent some time talking through my needs/wants/life/perceived problem areas, and then they got to work and I went off to handle bridesmaids duties for a friend's wedding. Eight hours later, I came home from the rehearsal dinner to a choir of imaginary angels singing the moment I opened my front door... Everything had a logical and easily accessible home! I could find things again! They removed some duplicates at my request and donated them, which was a helpful time-saver for me, and left some other duplicates (mainly travel toiletries) in a great new system so I can see, access and use the products I have - and never get into the chaos of my previous situation ever again. If you are even remotely considering hiring them (which I'd imagine you are, since you're here and reading this), do it now. It's absolutely worth the investment, and I'm already brainstorming what other areas of my life they could improve - I'll 100% be using them again.
