Years…read moreago I heard about personal shopper services and finally decided to give one a try after reading reviews on Yelp. Michelle was very pleasant and accommodating via email and set up an appointment with Kristin, one of her stylists. Kristin was fantastic - full of energy and a great personality.; we got along with ease. I never felt pressured to try anything I didn't like and she didn't hesitate to give her thoughts about any color or look she wasn't feeling. No pun intended but it really did feel like I was shopping with a friend. I powered through an exhausting 5 hours (I don't have much shopping endurance) and left with an assortment of new shirts, pants, jeans, and accessories. The experience definitely broadened my perspective and gave me a great foundation to continue with moving forward. I'd recommend The Shopping Friend's services to any guy out there, whether starting from scratch or just fleshing out their wardrobe like myself.

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).

Alison also offers a variety of packages and works with you to find the right fit for your needs. Would definitely recommend!

We had the pleasure of hosting Mary Komick in our office for a color analysis event, and she was…read moreabsolutely wonderful to work with. Mary was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly efficient while still making each person feel seen and cared for. She provided personalized color season cards that outlined the best colors to wear, along with guidance on jewelry and makeup choices. The cards were clear, practical, and easy to reference, which made the experience both fun and actionable. Our team truly enjoyed their sessions, and many of us walked away feeling more confident and excited about our personal style. I would highly recommend Mary for corporate events or team experiences. She brings expertise, warmth, and a seamless process to everything she does.

Before I hired Mary as my personal stylist, I really struggled with the idea of someone coming into…read moremy space and being judgmental or not understanding what I would be comfortable in. But when I met Mary, I just felt at ease. She was so easy to talk to, not judgmental at all (but assertive when necessary to let me know when things needed to be let go) and I felt a great connection with her. I hired Mary because I knew I was in a rut, stuck in my comfort zone with my style which was neither impressive nor flattering. I really needed help to expand my horizons as far as what I could wear that would still be me but also give the outward impression that I wanted to give. I felt my previous style was tired and I was wearing too much of the same thing. Now, I feel amazing! I love all my new clothes and how Mary created new outfits using my existing wardrobe. It all feels cohesive, easy but also sophisticated. I feel super confident in the options I have when getting dressed now, whether it's going into the office or going to a work event, where my style helps me be more outgoing. Truly, the eye Mary has for matching to your color palette and the silhouettes that will be flattering is incredible. Mary is just amazing and provides so much value to anyone she works with. She is incredibly organized from the consultation call to the offboarding, telling you exactly what to expect and then she usually goes above and beyond and does more than what is even promised. I'm just incredibly grateful for the experience and would recommend her to anyone.

If you're looking for someone to guide you through a personal style transformation, I can't recommend her enough! Plus, her location in West Holywood is so convenient making the experience even better . Thank you so much!

I can't say enough good things about Karen Rosa. She is not only incredibly talented and…read moreknowledgeable, but also one of the kindest, most inspiring people I've had the pleasure of working with. Karen helped me with a color analysis to find the perfect suit for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, and the experience was amazing. She also introduced me to personal shopping--which I had never done before--and made it feel effortless and exciting. Karen truly understood my style and helped me find looks that made me stand out as a musician here in LA, while still feeling authentic to who I am. I trust her so much that I've already recommended her to my friends, family, and even had her do a color analysis for my mother and her friends. Karen is professional, humble, creative, and just a joy to work with. I highly recommend her services--you'll be in great hands! - Vo Williams

Amanda has been my Stylist for years and it's time to post an update on this incredible stylist!…read moreBetween work and family I feel like I have zero time for myself and honestly don't know how to navigate shopping to find what I'm looking for. As a CEO I often find myself overwhelmed by the pressures of maintaining a polished yet authentic personal style. My role requires me to effortlessly balance professionalism with approachability, while also reflecting my personal brand and values. Amanda took the time to really understand not just my professional needs, but also my personal story and style challenges. She is all about identifying my signature style. A concept I had heard of but hadn't truly grasped until working with Amanda. She meticulously analyzed my current wardrobe, identifying pieces that brought out my confidence and those that I only wore out of obligation. With her guidance, I learned how to effectively mix classic staples with trendy elements, ensuring that I not only felt empowered in my clothing but also reflected my personality. Amanda worked with me on several key points: 1. Wardrobe Essentials: She helped me build a foundational wardrobe of versatile pieces like tailored blazers, blouses, and beautiful yet comfortable shoes. Every item was handpicked to match my aesthetic while prioritizing fit and function. 2. Color Palette: Amanda introduced me to the idea of a personal color palette, emphasizing shades that complement my complexion and enhance my professional presence. I had always gravitated towards neutrals, but she encouraged me to embrace deeper, bolder tones that resonate with both my personality and leadership style. 3. Accessorizing with Purpose: Understanding the impact of details, Amanda showed me how statement accessories could elevate even the simplest outfit and allow me to express my individuality without being overwhelming. As I mentioned, Amanda has been my stylist for the last few years. My husband has noticed my transformation and now works with Amanda as well.  Amanda assembled outfits that made him feel confident while still being work-appropriate. She helped him understand how to layer and accessorize, turning his typical button-down and slacks combo into something fresh and modern. Amanda exceeded all expectations time and time again. With her expertise, I now have a signature style that truly represents me. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone seeking a personal stylist who can truly transform how you present yourself to the world. Investing in your style is an investment in yourself--one that I'm grateful to have made with Amanda's guidance!

My fiancé told me about Amanda and her services so I thought I'd give her a try. Cut to me feeling way more confident and in tune with what I'm wearing thanks to Amanda. She didn't make me buy or wear anything I felt uncomfortable in and rather showed me how to match my existing clothing. On top of that, she gave me a handy mood board for my future shopping. I now feel more confident in how to shop smart. From start to finish, she has a very organized styling process that I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone that has questioned their style or is looking to revamp their look!

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!

As someone who recently lost 40 pounds, I needed EVERYTHING! Jillian first reviewed the little I…read morehad in my closet and agreed to meet in very short order. 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:).

Before working with Erica, getting dressed felt really difficult. After years of working from home,…read moremy wardrobe had quietly depleted to the point where I was living in sweatpants and sweatshirts. On weekends, when I actually wanted to look cute and put-together, I just didn't have the options to make it happen so it was no longer fun. Erica changed all of that. She was incredibly supportive and really took the time to understand what I actually wanted to feel in my clothes. She built me a wardrobe full of versatile basics that give me so much to work with, but also included pieces I truly love and get excited to wear. That balance was everything. The styling session at the end was my favorite part. Learning how to assemble core pieces in elevated, interesting ways was a game-changer. It reminded me how to get dressed haha and gave me new inspiration. I once again have options that feel like me. Highly recommend Erica to anyone who's lost their wardrobe along the way and wants to find their style again.

I really enjoyed working with Erica on a wardrobe refresh (closet edit, shopping list, try on,…read morestyling). My wardrobe was a collection spanning over a decade - with kids, relocations, and job changes in between. I wanted an outside perspective to help me reset my wardrobe - clear out all the things that were not working, so that I could update and elevate my wardrobe to better fit my personal and professional lifestyle. Erica helped me articulate the image I want to reflect, identify what was not working and why, and intentionally shop for quality core pieces I could easily integrate everything into my everyday. She really maximized my budget and time - it was so stress-free, fun, and efficient vs. doing it on my own (it was so fun that my little daughter joined our in-person sessions and still talks about them). I discovered several new favorite brands and new favorite pieces I wouldn't have found on my own. At home, we were marveling at how much better my closet looked just after the closet edit. Dressing out of my wardrobe is actually fun and fast. I have fewer pieces than the overwhelm from before, but I have all the pieces I need - everything works together so easily in so many more combinations. I'm no longer defaulting to the same few pieces on repeat, wondering what elements of my style are outdated or not complementary. I have a far better understanding of how to wear pieces and put outfits together, and I feel so much more comfortable and confident day to day. I also follow along with her videos, blog, and e-newsletters - so much practical advice and some great shopping finds too. Thanks Erica!

Plus I'm low-maintenance, hate shopping, and resist trends (I'm either clueless or think I'll look stupid). This year I decided to change all that, so I asked Paula to help. She was AMAZING and sensitive, working around my needs and budget. First we got rid of all the unflattering stuff (she'll even take it with her, removing the temptation to change your mind!). Then we went on a very fun shopping spree for a few missing essentials. She held my hand through the entire process. Her intuition is spot-on; she has a great eye and came up with about 30 outfits (which she photographed for my reference) using only a few key pieces of clothing/shoes/jewelry. The testament to her ability is that I started to get compliments immediately after implementing subtle changes! I highly recommend Paula for your styling needs. I feel more confident now - she's made me a little more high-maintenance - and that's a GOOD thing.
