Manage episode 410591230 series 3565276
Have you ever given yourself space to think about how you want to show up as a stylist?
People (including stylists) often get different types of stylists mixed up. The way many in the industry tend to market themselves only contributes to that confusion.
However, each kind of personal styling has its own hallmarks, limitations, and skill sets. I’ve broken them down into three categories: retail, transactional, and transformational. In order to provide the best service to your clients, you need to critically evaluate your process and determine the type of stylist you want to be.
In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, you’ll learn about each type and see examples of how they work. I’ll also highlight their differences and reveal how they impact your marketing and your client’s expectations.
