UPDATE: I don't…read morethink I would responded if I didn't see Kalee literally learnt nothing from this experience. I mean even writing "nearly 2 years after". Well Kalee, you should have considered how stressful it was to work with you. I was a new mom who was so excited about a senior job I got after literally sacrificing my career to try and be a mom. And then to look and feel good for this job meant the world to me. Please if you read this, find someone who understands this. Not talks about their 20 years of experience but understands what you need. I didn't "feel" the experience felt short. Facts are facts: I was told I would have clothes ready by end of August 2022, I didn't get the FIRST PASS at a board until October 2022. Simple as that. I have the proof and happy to post it along with the letters I sent to Amex as to why they AGREED with my dispute. I am not sure why my experience was unique. You've told me multiple times you worked with international clients, which was clear afterwards, you haven't since you couldn't figure out a timezone between the UK and Hong Kong. You are right, you offered alternative slots: that were at 3AM my time. Ironically 9am UK is 4pm HKT, and 9am HKT is 5pm PST. All the time zones you work in have easy to slot in hours here. IF you've worked internationally. But I had to chase her to get these times. I did not receive a full refund, I had to request it from my credit card company. Why? Because as I kept an "open" dialogue as Kalee suggested below, she was sending me uncouth emails for asking for a refund. She would say she was commited to working with me and tell me how rude I was rather than acknowledging how she made me feel or the fact that she didn't deliver on her timing. If you are not a scam, please prove it to me. Will you work on my boards and deliver what you should have? I would happily pay you if you can show me that you can delivery what you say. Take up the opportunity to suspend your ego to deliver what you say and this review changes to a positive experience. Until then, this review stays.

5 enthusiastic stars. At first, I was a little reluctant to get a personal shopper but I am so glad…read morethat I did. Kalee arranged a consultation with me so that she could learn about me and what I was hoping to accomplish. After she took inventory of my closet she was able to make shopping suggestions for me to add to my wardrobe. She was able to help me stay within my budget and we focused on quality items. After the items arrived we made another meeting to make sure all the items fit properly. Then Kalee worked her magic by arranging my items into shopboards that give me combinations that I can choose from everyday. I could not be more pleased with the results! Not only do I have new outfits, but I also feel more confident in the selections I make. As an added bonus, I can't believe how often people give me compliments. People that I don't even know comment on my clothing and I must say that it feels incredible. I am so thankful for such a wonderful experience. Thank you Kalee!!

She knew all the right stores to shop. I feel current now at it was the smartest thing I did to higher a personal shopper in Los Angeles. We hit allot of shops in Santa Monica also. Highly recommend working with this personal stylist company.

I never thought I needed a stylist until I spent a day with Elyse. She is sweet, smart,…read moreprofessional and all around awesome! She loves doing what she does which made shopping with her a blast. She took me speed shopping around LA--she knows the city like the back of her hand. At one point we found a couple shirts that I really loved. She knew (somehow??) that they would be going on sale next week so she had me put them on hold. I came back one week later and shirt enough they were 50% off! One my favorite things about her was that I didn't feel like she was trying sell me things that I didn't need--she was on my team and genuinely cared about finding me the right items. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elyse to any guy looking to freshen up his wardrobe or anyone who wants to experience LA in style.

I am a 53 yr old doctor who lives in ny. I live around a great amount of influence and am in the…read morearena of perfect designer dressing from hair to shoes. 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.

They move so much product that everything is always different, so it's fun to peruse. The staff won't pressure you to buy anything, but they will make recommendations and are sweet and helpful. I've also watched them expertly and respectfully handle some difficult customers. The prices aren't prohibitive, and everything is affordable, so that everyone can leave with a bit of Abbot Kinney fashion.

Thea is AMAZING!…read more I've worked with Thea for the past year and a half or so, on multiple occasions. I was changing jobs/climates and didn't have an appropriate wardrobe. I also wanted to "up my style game" and expand my wardrobe. I hired Thea to help. She evaluated what pieces I had, what looked good on me, what I liked, what didn't work or fit well anymore, and then found pieces that were my style to complete my wardrobe. Since then, we've worked together extensively, e.g., her advising me on what to wear for certain events, updating my wardrobe with the seasons and to reflect some fat loss/muscle gain, etc. I often get unsolicited compliments on the outfits she put together, when I'm out and about with friends or in town. Thea is a visionary who can do new and creative things with the pieces that you already have, or help you find great new pieces at whatever price point. She listens to your preferences, tastes, likes and dislikes, and goals, and helps craft a wardrobe or the perfect outfit. She also teaches you about style points along the way, and explains why she recommends what she does. She knows great places to find affordable but high quality pieces. She is responsive, organized, cool, friendly, and a joy to work with. By the way, I understand that Thea not only handles personal styling, but related stuff too, e.g., styling/photo shoots and advising on dating app profiles, etc. Working with Thea was one of the best decisions I've made! Thea has made me a customer/fan for life. She is incredibly talented at what she does. Hire her and I'm confident you'll be a fan too!

Thea is absolutely incredible. I have used her for both styling and home organizing…read more For styling: she helped me find flexible business clothes that were flattering, elegant, and unique. She worked with my tastes and I wear these looks often. She understood my needs, personality, and personal style. I will definitely use her again in the future! For my home: she helped me organize, declutter, she even took all the measurements to build me out a new closet, helped me order things, and put it together. She came prepared with a drill and other tools. Now my closet and home is far more functional. I love how she was very open to my needs and if her suggestion wasn't what I wanted, she immodestly came up with a different solution. I plan to hire her again when I move. Thea has an amazing personality and is so easy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Upon arrival, I was greeted by an enormous rack of clothes in a couple of sizes ... all purchased to mix and match. It was great. Jillian stayed under budget and I walked out with 18 new items:).

It's so easy to default to "jeans and a tee shirt" in LA, but I just knew I could present myself better. I finally decided it was time to work with a stylist, and I'm SO glad I found Jillian! She helped me identify the colors and silhouettes that complement my body type and coloring, and gently explained which pieces weren't doing me favors and why. We uncovered so many great items already in my closet that I didn't have the confidence to wear or didn't know how to style cohesively, and she transformed them into some truly killer outfits. We also set aside pieces that needed tailoring, and she provided a thoughtful list of items to purchase to round out my wardrobe (I was definitely due for a refresh). I was able to painlessly let go of a ton of outdated pieces, and I honestly can't believe everything fits in my closet now! Within a week, I was already getting compliments from my fashion coworkers, which feels like the highest praise. I feel like a more professional, confident, elevated yet authentic version of myself. Jillian is incredibly sweet, fun, and intuitive; the FIVE HOURS we spent together absolutely flew by. I'm already looking forward to a refresh with her when the seasons change!
