Your Style Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about our personal styling services

What is a personal stylist?

A personal stylist is a fashion professional who offers expert advice on clothing choices, wardrobe coordination, and personal image. At Chiropractdynam, our stylists are trained to understand your unique body shape, coloring, lifestyle needs, and style preferences to create a personalized approach to your wardrobe that enhances your best features and aligns with your authentic self.

Do I need to be fashion-savvy to work with a stylist?

Not at all! Our services are designed for people at all levels of fashion knowledge. Many of our clients come to us precisely because they feel uncertain about fashion choices or overwhelmed by options. Our stylists create a comfortable, educational experience tailored to your current knowledge level and help you develop confidence in your style choices.

Will a stylist try to change my personal style completely?

Our approach is always to enhance rather than replace your personal style. We believe that style should be an authentic expression of who you are. Our stylists work collaboratively with you to understand your preferences and comfort level, then offer suggestions that refine and elevate your existing style while remaining true to your personality and lifestyle needs.

Do you work with all body types and ages?

Absolutely! We firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and stylish, regardless of age, size, or shape. Our stylists are trained to work with clients of all body types and ages, and we take pride in our inclusive approach to personal styling. We celebrate diversity and are committed to helping each client discover styles that make them feel their best.

What's included in a wardrobe edit?

A wardrobe edit is a thorough assessment and organization of your current wardrobe. During this service, your stylist will:

  • Review each piece in your wardrobe
  • Identify items that flatter your body type and align with your style goals
  • Suggest items for alterations, donations, or consignment
  • Create new outfit combinations from your existing pieces
  • Identify gaps in your wardrobe
  • Provide organizational tips for maintaining your wardrobe
  • Create a shopping list of key pieces to enhance your collection

This service typically takes 3-4 hours depending on the size of your wardrobe.

How does personal shopping work?

Our personal shopping service is a guided shopping experience with your dedicated stylist. The process includes:

  1. Pre-shopping preparation: Your stylist researches and pre-selects items based on your style profile, preferences, and budget
  2. Meeting at predetermined shopping locations in Wellington
  3. Guided try-on sessions with expert feedback from your stylist
  4. Advice on fit, quality, versatility, and how to incorporate new pieces into your existing wardrobe
  5. Assistance with purchase decisions that align with your budget and style goals

Personal shopping sessions typically last 3-4 hours and can be focused on specific categories (e.g., workwear, casual attire) or a complete wardrobe refresh.

What is color analysis and why is it important?

Color analysis is the process of determining which color palette best complements your natural coloring (skin tone, hair, and eyes). This service is important because wearing colors that harmonize with your natural features can:

  • Enhance your complexion, making you look more vibrant and healthy
  • Minimize under-eye circles or skin discolorations
  • Create a more cohesive and harmonious wardrobe
  • Simplify shopping decisions and reduce unworn purchases
  • Make outfit coordination easier

During a color analysis session, your stylist will use professional tools and techniques to identify your optimal colors and provide you with a personalized color palette guide for future shopping.

What happens during an initial consultation?

The initial consultation is our opportunity to understand your style goals, preferences, and needs. During this 90-minute session, we will:

  • Discuss your lifestyle, preferences, and style aspirations
  • Analyze your body shape and proportions
  • Perform a basic color analysis
  • Review your current style and identify areas for enhancement
  • Discuss your budget and timeline
  • Recommend the most suitable services for your needs
  • Answer any questions you may have about the process

This consultation can take place at our studio in Wellington or in the comfort of your own home. Following the consultation, you'll receive a personalized style report with recommendations and next steps.

How should I prepare for my styling session?

To make the most of your styling session, we recommend:

  1. Create a Pinterest board or collection of images that represent styles you're drawn to
  2. Make note of any specific style challenges or questions you'd like to address
  3. For wardrobe edits, ensure all your clothing is clean and accessible
  4. Consider your budget for potential new purchases
  5. Think about your typical weekly activities and wardrobe needs
  6. Come with an open mind and be prepared to try styles you might not typically choose

Your stylist will also send you a preparation guide specific to your booked service to help you get ready.

How long does the styling process take?

The duration of the styling process depends on the services you choose and your specific needs:

  • Initial Style Consultation: 90 minutes
  • Color Analysis: 60-90 minutes
  • Wardrobe Edit: 3-4 hours
  • Personal Shopping: 3-6 hours
  • Complete Style Transformation: Typically spans 2-4 weeks with multiple sessions

We work with your schedule to create a timeline that's comfortable and convenient for you. Some clients prefer to complete all services within a short timeframe, while others prefer to space sessions out over several weeks or months.

What happens after my styling sessions are complete?

After your styling sessions, you'll receive:

  • A comprehensive style guide tailored to your body type, coloring, and lifestyle
  • Digital lookbooks or outfit combination guides (depending on your package)
  • Shopping recommendations for future purchases
  • Maintenance tips for your wardrobe
  • Two weeks of email support for any follow-up questions

Many clients choose to maintain an ongoing relationship with their stylist through seasonal updates or annual wardrobe refreshes. We offer maintenance packages to support your evolving style journey.
