Frequently Asked Questions By our guys

+ Am I a good candidate for an image consultation?

Honestly, most guys could use a little help with their image. This doesn't necessarily mean most guys need a consultation. The only way to know is to ask someone. If you need an idea, you can always contact me for a complimentary style strategy call to determine if you're a good candidate.

The one thing I require of clients is that they are open to a bit of change, able to make the adjustments, and are receptive to constructive feedback. I will never push you into something you strongly dislike, and I will always give you a reason why I'm choosing an item for you.

To sum it up, reach out, and let's see what you might be able to do to improve.

+ Can you teach me how to dress so I won't need you when I'm shopping?

Throughout your program, You'll see in real-time which colors, fits, and brands work well for you and why. So, in addition to the personal shopping aspect, you're getting a long-form class on your personal style. We also spend a good amount of time before the shopping going over education materials to help you understand what we're looking for.

As for the Virtual consultation, it's basically a masterclass in your personal style, going over everything we do in the in-person, but without actually being together physically.

+ Why don't you charge per hour?

You’re paying for a result, not for an hour of my time. I work to solve the problem in a high value way as efficiently as possible. Would you rather have someone who drags out shopping and milks more money by doing so? Or would you rather pay a one time fee for a full transformation with the goal of shopping efficiently? You get to decide. As a man, I know the shopping isn't my goal, looking good is.

+ What does an online consultation with you look like?

Once you send the requested pictures and questionnaire, I get to work on your case. We meet during your scheduled time on Zoom for your first call, discussing everything about your appearance goals starting from head to toe. Hairstyle, facial hair, skincare, color, dressing your body, brands, shopping list, and more. Afterward, you get access to your client portal which has your shopping list of links, notes, example photos, etc. You also then have unlimited email support for a month while you implement everything and your follow up calls to suppot you even further.

+ What does an in-person consultation with you look like?

We meet at your place or hotel to begin our day. We start by going over educational materials designed for you. We then go through your closet. I'll have you try on some items, and we'll see what we can keep, what we need to donate, and what can be tailored. Then we head out to do some shopping, hitting the stores that will work best for your style and budget.

After a shopping session, we head back to your place to put all your items together and style a few outfits. I'll also have you design a few yourself to make sure you know what to do once I'm gone.

I'll take your items to a donation center, which you'll receive a tax write off for. A couple of days later, you'll receive a comprehensive PDF summary I created for you that covers everything we did during the consultation, color analysis, links to external products, etc. that you can use when you're shopping alone or styling an outfit.

After all that, you're family. Feel free to reach out afterward if you have any questions or just want to say hello.

+ What's the cost?

It's structured according to each package, meaning there are no hidden or extra fee. Nearly every client that has come out of these sessions has remarked that they got much more than what they paid for. I've posted some of their responses here.

In regards to how much you should budget for clothing purchases, that is up to you. My consultation fee is the same regardless. Last year alone, I had clients budgets everywhere in between 1K to 100K for this project alone. Most guys budgets range between 3-15K.

+ What about travel?

I work out of Scottsdale, AZ and San Diego, CA - Both are well known for high-end fashion and luxurious resorts. It's a great place to come for a quick style vacation. I am also happy to travel to you for a consultation if needed. This works out well for men who might be too busy to travel themselves or men who just want the convenience of staying in their area. If you request me to travel to you, the consultation must take place in a major metropolitan area and there is the added cost of travel, and is subject to availability.

+ Can I bring a friend, partner, or spouse to my session?

Unfortunately, no. I want to make your consultation as beneficial as possible for you. I value the 1:1 time we spend together so I can be completely focused on you. Friends, spouses and girlfriends tend to hinder this process. This isn't always the case, but regardless, we're trying to avoid having too many cooks in the kitchen while we make the day as streamlined as possible. There are no exceptions to this.

+ What is your payment policy?

All payment is required upfront before any service. This allows me to lock down your scheduled consultation date and begin working on your session right away before we meet. There are no exceptions to this. There is also no charge if you need to reschedule your consultation (up to 2 times with 48 hours notice). There is a 100% money-back guarantee associated with every consultation if for any reason you're unhappy directly after your session. Travel costs and certain other costs outside of the consultstion fee cannot be refunded. You are responsible for all the clothing and product purchases we make while shopping together.

+ Do you have a waitlist? How much notice do you need?

In-person consultations tend to book up quickly. I also do a lot of prep work before we actually meet to make sure we're efficient during your session. In-person consultations need to be booked out usually at LEAST 4 weeks in advance. Online consultations are more flexible and can generally be scheduled within 2 weeks of when they are booked.

+ How much will I need to budget for an in-person consultation?

This depends on your needs and what we need to replace. If you're not looking for designer brands, we can get you a new look for less than you might think. I'll advise you on a projected budget once I learn more about your needs. For a smaller wardrobe, you'll need a budget a minimum of $2500. For a more extensive core wardrobe, budget around $4000-7000 minimum. Remember that this can be spread out over time if you're doing an online consultation, so if you don't want to spend all of that in one day, consider the online option.

+ Do we shop online?

Yes. I try to get you everything you need while we're out shopping together, but there might be a few items that we need to buy online if a store doesn't carry a particular item, or if we're looking for a more niche brand. After your consultation, you get an extensive PDF summary of everything we covered. In this PDF, there are also links to more items you can purchase online that I have signed off on. For both online and in-person clients, I recommend shopping in-store when possible.

+ What will I look like afterward?

This depends entirely on what you want to get from your consultation. There is no "one-size-fits-all" look, and I can't stress that enough. My goal is to let your personality and strengths shine through with the way you dress. It's your personal style. That's why I'm so thorough in our interactions. I want to give you a look and feel that isn't going to be a departure from your personality. This creates a supporting congruency that people like to see.

+ How long will it take?

This depends on which package you purchased and what your goals are. The full day takes around 7-9 hours. This might seem like a lot of time, but it's necessary to give you a change that will last. If you want more detailed time and slightly shorter days with more intese coverage, the two-day package is your best bet.

+ What about privacy? Will I remain anonymous?

I pride myself on taking my client's privacy very seriously. We don't plaster photos of you all over the internet to make my services look good. Other than the way you look, no one will know you used the service.

+ Do you help women?

No, sorry. To provide the absolute best service, I focus specifically on men. This allows me to take an objective, evidence-based approach and deliver very focused results with deep expertise in one area. If you are a woman and need some help, I can recommend other reputable, top-line consultants for you to work with.

+ Do you do speaking engagements?

On occasion, yes. Since my expertise is focused only on men, it allows me to deliver exceptionally detailed advice to male audiences. However, I do speak to corporations with both balanced male and female staff since the principles of appearance and dressing well work universally. Please reach out directly for inquiries.

+ Do you do media interviews?

Yes. I'm happy to speak to the press, contribute thoughts to publications, or speak on a panel. Please reach out directly for inquiries.

+ Do you do editorial styling?

On occasion, yes. I primarily focus on personal styling, but I am open to all editorial work in inquires. Please reach out directly for inquiries.

+ Want to connect for a different reason?

If you're a brand, business, or media and would like to network with me, you can apply for a call here. Answer a few questions so I can learn more about you and make sure things are a fit. If so, I'd be happy to chat.
