-
Why do I need to complete a Style Profile?A Style Profile is how your stylist learns and understands your style needs, pain points, preferences, and other things like your lifestyle, sizes, budget, etc. Failure to complete your Style Profile is doing a disservice to you and your stylist.
-
What is the Style Profile?The Style Profile is a form that is used to gather information about a client's personal information and style, size, fit, and budget preferences. This information is crucial in helping your stylist to choose the best clothing and accessory items to suit your needs. All clients who book a Wardrobe Styling service are required to complete a Style Profile. This will give your stylist all the information needed to complete your service to the best of their ability.
-
What is the difference between personal styling (or style sessions), personal shopping, and assisted shopping?Personal styling is a more one-on-one approach to addressing a client's style. It has more of a focus on educating the client to define their own personal style, whereas personal shopping takes on less of an educational approach and is more straight to the point. With personal shopping, stylists are given a budget and have more freedom in choosing styles that will work for the client without the client having to be there, as compared to personal styling, which client's may have more of an opinion about the items that the stylist chooses. Assisted shopping is when clients receive guidance shopping in-store or online with a stylist by their side every step of the way. Assisted shopping is most beneficial for clients who want to learn how to shop for themselves more efficiently.
-
Where do you like to shop for your clients?Typically I will shop at stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomindales, Macys, etc. Depending on the client and his/her budget, I will shop at other stores like outlet malls/stores, Zara, H&M, ASOS, Akira, Nike, Jordan, etc. For higher-paying clients I shop at the department stores named above or directly with designer brands at their flagship stores.
-
Do you accept male clients?Our stylist will accept male clients on a case-by-case basis, however, Style Artist LLC is tailored more for female clients. Keep in mind that we do sell unisex branded merchandise that any gender of "style artist" can wear or use!
-
I don't need styling advice, I just need someone to do my shopping for me. Is that something you do?Of course! Our Personal Shopping service is perfect for those clients that know exactly what they want but may not have the time to get it themselves. Your stylist would be happy to take that task off of your hands! However, if you are a new client, we recommend that you do book a couple of our other styling services first to ensure that your stylist is well-versed in your style preferences before making purchase decisions for you.
-
Will I get a discount when shopping with my stylist in-store?Your stylist can negotiate discounts for your purchases at her discretion, but cannot guarantee discounts on purchases made in-store.
-
Can I have a family member or friend present with me for my appointment?Your stylist will never try to control who might be in your home during in-person appointments but for all appointments, keep in mind that a one-on-one encounter is ideal to minimize distractions, keep track of time, and keep delicate personal information private. If you are more comfortable with someone else in the room, a maximum of one additional person per appointment is permitted.
-

-
What do you mean when say "time is of the essence" in the booking policy?"Once you've booked an appointment with our stylist, please keep in mind that it is on the responsibility of both Style Artist LLC and you, the client, to respond to one another in a timely manner, especially regarding service materials such as mood boards, style boards, shopping lists, 3D designs, revisions, etc. to avoid unnecessary extensions of this agreement. You have 3 business days to respond to such materials. Failure to do so can result in additional charges related to the extra time/labor associated with the stylist needing to revisit various aspects of your project and replace items originally suggested that might have sold out due to unresponsiveness. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
-
Is the stylist required to take on my stylist project just because I booked it?Your stylist is a human who sometimes deals with extenuating circumstances. If for some reason your stylist is unable to take on your project after you've booked it, you have the option to credit the deposit you paid towards a service at a later date or you will receive a full refund of your paid deposit. This is one of the rare cases that your deposit can be refunded.
-
Can I book a service if I am located outside of Chicago?Yes!

Virtual services are facilitated via FaceTime or the Zoom app. Be sure to keep in mind that virtual home services will be more hands-on for you, the client, but are a much more cost effective way to achieve your style goals whether for wardrobe or home styling. If you are considering a virtual service, feel free to reach out to us before booking your service to see if your specific styling project would benefit most from a virtual service. You can reach us by sending an email to info@styleartistchi.com or by sending us a chat message via the gold bubble at the lower right-hand corner of your screen.
