Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions to help you understand my services better.

If you don’t see an answer to a specific question or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact me.

Q: I’ve never done this before, how does it work?

A: This is a 3-part process that starts with Phase 1: Discover Your Signature Style. We’ll then Command and Conquer Your Wardrobe in Phase 2, and finalize everything with my optional Personal Shopping Services in Phase 3.

The goal of this proprietary process, that’s taken me over two decades to perfect, is to create your own NATURAL, commanding presence through the clothing you wear that is congruent with who you are and the projection of your self-image by discovering your unique style.

We’ll work together one-to-one in an encouraging and supportive process to discover the REAL you and in turn, match a style of clothing to the image you want to project -- whether in your personal or professional life, or both.

Q: How much time will it take to upgrade my look?

A: It depends on where you are today and where you want to be.

Ideally, you want to be dressed for the career or lifestyle you want, not the one you have. There’s a mindset shift that will happen that will take you beyond clothing.

If you’re anything like many of my clients, then you haven’t shopped for new clothes or completely upgraded your look within the last 5, 10 or even 20 years!

Depending on where you are -- or rather how far behind you are -- in upgrading your look, it can take us anywhere from 1 consultation for tweaking and refining what you already have, to 2-4 weeks for a total and complete makeover.

Q: What types of clients do you work with?

A: I work with clients who are serious, committed and motivated about upgrading their current
presence and creating something congruent that resonates with who they really are.

Many of my clients haven’t shopped in years and find the thought of upgrading their wardrobe -- although they desperately need it -- excruciating to say the least.

I’ve worked with 20-somethings just starting out in the corporate world, all the way to executives and CEO’s in their 60’s.

All that matters is that you understand that you simply must get this area of your life handled for many different reasons both personal and professional.

Q: Who are your personal shopping services designed for?

A: My exclusive personal shopping services are designed for any man that wants to upgrade his wardrobe and might be intimidated, lost or too busy to do it on his own.

This is a special service that I offer only to those who have already gone through Phase 1 and 2 of my proprietary 3-part process designed to define your Signature Style and create a Natural, Commanding presence.

Q: What if I’ve gained weight over the years, should I wait?k?

A: No, absolutely not.

Why?

Chances are you’re wearing clothes that are either way too big or too small for your frame right now -- either way it projects the wrong image.

My advice to most men in this situation is to at least upgrade a small portion of your wardrobe and keep doing so as you lose weight.

What we’ll do is discuss perceived ‘problem’ areas and shop to enhance those areas.

If you want to look taller, slimmer or more fit, we can refine the way you look with color, texture as well as the design of the clothing.

Then, at a minimum you’ll start feeling more confident because you’re wearing clothing that fits you appropriately and projects the right image.

Q: Where do we go shopping?

A: I have relationships with, and specialize in, shopping at most malls and specialty stores in
Silicon Valley including various locations in San Francisco, San Jose and surrounding areas.

At many locations I have shopping arrangements already in place whereby I work with the in-store shopper and we work together to put your wardrobe together.

This is a great experience for my clients because they are amazed at how time flies when you’re not wasting any time and getting right down to business.

What works best in my experience is starting with the major department stores because they have variety of design styles to choose from. Once we begin to put your Signature Style together, we can then focus on the stores that match that style.

Q: What if I’m not “trendy” or into fashion?

A: You’re not alone because most of my clients aren’t into fashion either, that’s my job.

My approach is simple and centered around you and your most desired outcomes.

Contrary to what many believe, creating your Signature Style goes way beyond fashion and being “trendy”, which never last.

More so it’s about your personal and unique expression reflected through the clothing you wear and your Natural commanding presence that emanates as a result.

Together, we’ll create a unique Signature Style that naturally reflects you and your everyday life, and is not something that will come and go like trends or what most think of as fashion.

Q: How and when do I pay?

A: Most of my packages are secured by retainer prior to our first consultation.

This means that you pay me in advance to secure your timeslot because many of the shopping appointments with the stores I work with need to be scheduled in advance.

For my personal shopping services, I work on a monthly retainer that secures a set number of hours to be able to continuously refine and upgrade your wardrobe once we’ve discovered your Signature Style -- and this also includes last minute shopping for a special occasion or event.

Q: How much should I expect to spend on clothing?

A: It all depends on the presence you want to create and what you already have to work with.

This is something we’ll talk about in our first Signature Style consultation as budgeting for clothing is a very important part of this process.

If you have an older wardrobe that needs to be completely revamped, and you want to turbo charge your appearance, then your investment may be more than if you already have some basic pieces to work with.

Another consideration is to ask yourself what your outcome is.

If your professional life or personal aspirations dictate a certain look, then this also has a direct influence on the types of clothes you’ll need to accomplish this outcome.

Q: How far do your services extend to?

A: I work with clients in the San Francisco Bay Area.

My prices are determined by commute (I am based in San Jose), timeframe, urgency and the
amount of time we’ll need to accomplish your wardrobe makeover.

Q: What’s next? How do I get started?

A: If you’re finally ready to get a handle on this area of your life and create a natural, commanding presence by enhancing your wardrobe and with it, your confidence, contact me immediately for a free consultation.
