I have known Val for two years and have worked with her at the Upper West Side boutique, bocnyc,…read morewhere Val often brought her clients before her move to Houston. The first thing I noticed about Val is that she loves her job. She is very passionate about her work and truly cares about her clients. As a personal stylist, Valerie is first and foremost an incredible listener. Her listening abilities allow her to get to know her clients deeply and quickly. Valerie gives her clients what they want, whether it be a full service wardrobe makeover, a few new additions to the closet, or a style education, Valerie handles it. Further, Valerie challenges her clients and gives them what they didn't know they needed. Maybe you never thought you could pull off that bright red and gold belt that you love, but Valerie can show you how to weave it into your wardrobe tastefully and effectively. After working with Val professionally, I can say certainly that any boutique in Houston would be lucky to have Val bring a client in for a shopping trip.

Clothes were laid out in a dressing room when we got to each store and she talked me through outfit ideas as I tried items on, it was super helpful. I am now able to put together outfits every morning quickly and without questioning whether it looks good or is work appropriate. Through the whole process, she has gave me a lot of style tips and tricks, that allowed me to learn to put together my own outfits and make smarter choices when buying new items. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make a wardrobe upgrade. Val makes a task that would usually be very daunting, simple and straightforward!

While I do feel like this is normal, it really was affecting my confidence with speaking because I am the owner of my company and would be speaking in a room full of people on how my company could help them. I needed my looks to reflect my work ethic and my company and what I wanted to project to others. Within meeting Kim, she was just so nice and had impressed me with doing research from my questionnaire . She showed me 3 looks she thought would work for me and why! Blew my mind that she was so prepared and the looks she showed me were exactly what I would want for myself! So I knew I wanted to work with her. From there, it's only gotten better. If your deciding to invest in yourself, use Kim- trust me you will not be disappointed she goes above and beyond!

Kim managed to not only set up the fashion and coordinate all aspects of my shoot, but she managed to pull several strings and got me a complimentary hotel room, catering, and dessert to celebrate my birthday!!! I don't know how she did it, but she did and it really took my shoot to a higher level. I had such a blast. I will never forget it. I absolutely will hire her again soon to go through my closet LOL.

She was very clear on what her suggestions were to ensure that I would feel comfortable in the dress and that it would fit well for the wedding. She always treats her clients like family, honest with recommendations and she never fails! Maria is also very respectful with timing for your needs and upfront with how long it will take to get the article(s) back, so there is no uncertainty. The dress turned out perfectly and I will continue to use and recommend Transformations by Maria to all my friends and family looking for alterations!

My dress needed to be hemmed about 8 inches and had a very complicated trim. She did a wonderful job shortening the dress to my height and transferring the trim so it looked perfect. She also used lace from the trim to add fabric to the bust to give it a soft sweetheart neckline. I was nervous that it would be difficult to do such complex alterations to a heavily beaded dress, but I am so in love with the end results! I highly recommend Maria for all your bridal needs!
