What is an Image Consultant?
An Image Consultant is someone who specializes in visual, non-verbal communication. Clients enlist an image consultant to aid them in enhancing their appearance through wardrobe and style. In many ways an image consultant is a coach or teacher. Through a series of individualized services the client obtains personalized knowledge and tools for managing their wardrobe and individual style.

Why hire an image consultant?
Studies show that people form an opinion or value judgment about each other in 30 seconds. Social psychologist have further determined that the impression we make on others is 55% visual, 38% vocal tone and intonation and only 7% the actual words said. We all have an image whether we are aware of it or not so it would seem reasonable that we should manage that image so that our perceived image (that image we wish to portray to the world) matches the received image (the image received by the world.)
