Q the Stylist

I'm a middle-aged man who chose Mona just by random search on the internet, and I was really lucky…read more Working with Mona has been nothing short of transformational. Before meeting her, shopping felt boring -- racks of endless options, second-guessing every choice, and walking away uninspired. But from our very first session, Mona turned the experience into something thrilling, creative, and deeply personal. I want to really emphasize on aspects of her personality in this review. She has been all devoted to teaching me and finding my interests genuinely, and I never felt it was a job for her. She followed up on getting feedback from me well beyond what she was supposed to, to make sure I am satisfied with the experience and happy with the products I bought. She is so humble, personable, and passionate about what she does and I really love that in a person. I never thought I'd say this, but shopping has actually become exciting -- an adventure into new possibilities rather than a chore. People constantly ask me where I shop or who styles me -- and the secret is Mona. If you're ready to feel like the most confident, stylish version of yourself, look no further. Mona is a true artist, and partnering with her is one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Mona is excellent at what she does and has an incredible eye for understanding how to help you pick…read moreclothes and outfits that will best flatter you and your body shape, size, and complexion. I paid for the image consulting package and within minutes of meeting her she was able to help me diagnose why certain articles of clothing I owned never felt "right" for me and give actionable insights for improving my wardrobe. She followed that up with an incredibly thorough document full of sample looks, lists of brands and stores to shop at, and helpful tips and tricks. Since my initial consult, she has been incredibly responsive to answering questions and providing feedback on specific items of clothing, on looks, and on any follow-up questions that I've had. I already feel so much more confident when I buy clothes and in putting together outfits that feel flattering for me. Whether you're looking to refresh your brand or just starting on your style journey, I can't recommend working with Mona highly enough.

She also wanted to feel more confident with her professional outfits and level up her wardrobe for date nights. Bryn works on a flat per-hour rate rather than requiring you to purchase a package. She came to our apartment for a closet edit, did a personal shopping trip at Club Monaco with my wife, and then came back to our apartment to help my wife create outfits and put together a lookbook for her. We were so impressed with Bryn's work that I decided to work with Bryn too. I gave Bryn an inspiration album of the style I was aspiring to embody and showed her my favorite clothing when she was here to help my wife. Bryn took me to Nordstrom and picked out a number of shirts, pants, shorts, blazers, and shoes for me to try on. She has an eye for unique pieces that have elicited compliments for my clients. I had some sizing issues with a couple of the clothes, so we ordered some for delivery, got a few pieces altered, and re-grouped over email (complimentary) to think about alternatives. My wife and I were both impressed with Bryn's sense of style, professionalism, and attitude. We highly recommend that you work with her.

But when I felt like I had nothing to wear in my stuffed closet, I reached out for help. I got so much more than I signed up for! Bryn came over and we edited a lot--some clothes to sell, some to donate--and some to tailor in new and fresh ways. (She is also an actual fashion designer so can really weigh in with tailoring.) Then Bryn created totally new looks with pieces I already owned, adding jewelry and shoes--it was so exciting, I just kept marveling and saying "I would have never thought of that!" Bryn took my wardrobe to a whole new level, while staying true to my individual style. She really, really gets fashion and fit and just has an amazing way of amping you up. The best part is she flat-lays all the looks and creates a digital or printed lookbook. I keep mine in photo albums on my phone that I refer to. In addition to seasonal closet edits and styling at home, I have also shopped with Bryn in department stores--where they all know and love her. When you arrive, Bryn has a beautiful dressing room set up full of clothes she has picked for you. Amazing and fun and the best shortcut to finding great pieces that work for you. Whether you're like me and know what you like and want and just want to take it up a notch and have an expert in your corner to really look polished--or if you're like my many friends who now hire Bryn---some with challenging body types, or in need of work wardrobes or an outfit for a special event or vacation--Bryn is your answer. Plus, she is easygoing and funny and you will just love her!

I worked with Jenny during the summer, while 6 months pregnant and needed to refresh my wardrobe with work & weekend wear that could grow with my belly. Not only was jenny able to source me the best capsule wardrobe, but she did it effeciently, thoughtfully, and nailed the maternity component without stocking my closet full of 1x use maternity clothes. Jenny goes above and beyond other stylists I have worked with. This ranges from having all the clothes beautifully packaged and steamed for try on to showing up with a variety of options and thoughtfulness behind the options. I walked away with a 50% hit ratio from Jenny's suggestions and now waking up and getting dressed everyday is a joy and not a chore. I feel put together, fashionable without being too trendy, comfortable, and a true version of myself. Jenny sources pieces across the price spectrum and does not push items onto her clients -- she is the first to say "oh. you have something similar, let's skip this" or she is also the one to say "this is how you style of work, the weekend, and date night " all with the same pieces. This is one of the best investments I have made in myself in a long time. It saved me hours upon hours of trying to shop online and returning items that didn't fit and it has shaved off time in the morning for me while getting ready.

In the process she used her very light touch to rid me of things that were no longer in style and began teaching me what worked best for my lifestyle and body type. I feel like I got so much out of just this first appointment. The information she left me with has already influenced my shopping choices.

I now feel much more confident understanding the colors, shades, patterns, and fabrics that truly work best for me. The session also included makeup guidance (lipstick, blush, etc.), which I enjoyed, although I wish that portion had been longer. I'm interested in coming back for the longer makeup class they're working on. My consultant Jess was : fabulous ,patient, knowledgeable, and very thorough. She made the experience comfortable and informative. The booking process, however, was frustrating. Online scheduling wasn't available, and I had to follow up multiple times to secure my appointment. I also personally felt the experience was a bit overpriced for what was included. While I gained helpful information, it was a lot of content packed into one session, and by the end my brain was definitely tired. If I could do it again, I would schedule the services on separate days or book a later session to better absorb everything. I also received a nice PDF the next morning, which was really helpful and a great follow-up after the appointment. Overall, I recommend the color analysis class that portion felt the most valuable. I probably could have skipped the body analysis.

HIRE NEJLA! Just do it. If you're like me, hiring a stylist seemed like a totally unnecessary…read moreexpense. A huge splurge. I'd always said I'd do it someday, as I kept dressing in whatever had survived since college. I'm a 35-year-old professional; I needed to level up! I hired Nejla for a closet cleanse, four hours of shopping, and a look book shoot so I could remember how to put everything together. One thing I was dreading was the six hours of hanging out with a stranger, making small talk. I should not have worried! She's so personable and easy to talk to. Nejla is very budget conscious and got my comfort level/budget up front. When I mean a new wardrobe--we bought everything from shoes to rompers. It was worth every penny, but more than that I so appreciated Nejla's approach. She talked me through the whys of what she was selecting and left me feeling super empowered too. Even our salesperson at Nordstrom was like a buddy by the end of our trip (4 hours flew by, which I couldn't believe!). Do it, you won't regret it!!

I became even more fashionably lost during the pandemic -- after all, like many people I spent 2 years working from home and wearing nothing but leggings. I landed my dream role working at a fashion magazine last summer, and I wanted to walk in feeling confident in what I wore. Nejla absolutely came to my rescue. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little hesitant at first, but Nejla was professional, and quite frankly calming from day one. Her method is well thought out and really works. We got rid of dozens of pieces during my closet clean out that no longer served me, and during the shopping process she not only leaned into clothes that I was drawn to, but also got me out of my comfort zone. She had me try on pieces that I never would've imagined wearing (this is where you really have to trust the process), and now some of those items are staples for me. I've always hated shopping -- and i know a lot of people can relate -- but she makes it an incredibly fun experience, and the four hours FLEW. My favorite part, though? Putting together the lookbook. After our shopping spree she put together 60 (!) outfits and curated them in a shared photo album so I can go back and find inspiration when I need it. Okay I lied -- my favorite (and the most invaluable) part of the whole experience is the confidence I gained in myself. I never received compliments on my outfits in the past and felt a little mismatched. Since working with Nejla I now walk into any room feeling like a million bucks, whether i'm at the office, on a date, or just hanging out with friends. And without fail, I get compliments on almost every single outfit. Nejla helped me become more like myself in a way that I never thought was possible. For that I am forever grateful.

I described my work attire as "Banana Republic sales rack" and my weekend look as frumpy. Ella gently helped me edit my closet. She calls it a Wardrobe Renovation. Two hours and a large pile of castoffs later, I understood that I've been buying my shirts and too large and my bottoms were not the right cut for my figure. And of course, there were my sentimental favorites which didn't fit, but just took up space in the closet. Ella gracefully helped me to prune out a lot of junk to make room for new looks. A week later we met for shopping. She went pre-shopping two hours ahead of me, which was fantastic. By the time I met up with her she had a stack of things for me to try on, all in completely full looks. It saved me hours, and I ended up with a ton of new clothes. One of the most surprising and impressive things about Ella was her sensitivity to my budget. Other stylists I had talked to were all about spending a fortune on designer names, but Ella found me some incredible deals. Yes, I bought some quality pieces, but I never felt pressured to buy anything I didn't want. I found her to be professional, smart, and compassionate. She was super clear about our plan, she always explained why one look worked better than another....it wasn't just some random opinion... and she never made me feel judged. It was a great experience and I have gotten so many compliments! I'm looking forward to working with her again in the Spring.
