BJ Wilson Personal Styling and Personal Shopping Certification Training
Your career in the glamorous world of image consulting starts here!
With the constant growth and expansion of the fashion industry, it’s never been a better time to begin your career. Whether you dream of opening your own image or wardrobe consulting business, being a personal stylist and shopper, or to simply become a successful fashion blogger, it all starts with knowing the core fundamentals of fashion, styling, and business.
BJ Wilson Personal Stylist and Personal Shopper Certification Program is an intensive hands – on training program based on the Four Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, the training process is designed to give you the comprehensive tools and knowledge you need to become a personal stylist and shopper.
Our training will educate you on everything from dressing different body shapes, to matching a client’s personal taste, to accommodating lifestyle needs with current fashion. You’ll learn fashion and style basics, closet organization, wardrobe planning, and shopping techniques, all of which are needed to begin and grow a successful image consulting business.
What Does It Take to Become a Great Image Consultant?
To do something well, you must like what you are doing, or at least have a strong interest in it. If this is the case, your heart and mind will stay engaged, and you will grow in skill, competence, ease, and confidence. If you want to become a great image consultant, you must love fashion and the fashion industry. Your interest in fashion will motivate you to learn, and spur you onward to build the career you’ve always wanted. Everyone needs this cornerstone to launch and sustain a successful career in fashion.
You may consider yourself as already proficient in fashion knowledge and wardrobing. Perhaps you follow the designers, know what’s in, what’s out, and what’s on the horizon. Or, perhaps you work in retail clothing sales and dress customers at your store. You may actually know clothing so well, that you can touch a fabric with your eyes closed and know its composition and care instructions.
Wherever you exist on this spectrum is okay. Our customized training program will always apply, whether you are a novice in the field, have some experience, or have spent years working with clients and helping them with their clothes.
In addition to an interest in fashion, there are some other key ingredients. Being able to work with people – all kinds of people! – is absolutely required. In the end, image consulting is about making people feel better. Planning a perfect wardrobe can enhance a client’s image, inspire self-confidence, and make their life a lot easier. The services you provide are personal and confidential; therefore, the way you treat and interact with clients will have a direct correlation to your overall success.
There are many unique qualities that people need in this kind of work:
- Creativity
- Spontaneity
- Humor
- Patience
- Organization
This last quality warrants special attention. Wardrobe consulting is a business. You must get organized and stay organized in order to do well. Thankfully, our training is designed to help you do just that.
If you have a strong interest in fashion, are customer-service oriented, and highly organized, you can benefit from our image consulting and personal shopping training to become a great personal stylist.
