We live in an ever-evolving world that emphasises the importance of digital platforms. Each day, more services are moving online, and that includes Personal Styling.

What is Online personal styling?

Personal Styling, at its core, is about building connection and rapport with clients. When words like connection and rapport come to mind, you would immediately think of in-person interactions because, trying to create connections with people through a device, laptop, ipad, or phone, sounds almost impossible. Think again. Thousands of brands and businesses today are successfully building a loyal customer base from behind their digital screens.

Why become a Personal Stylist

We, at Australian Style Institute, have been saying for years that there is a place within the industry for Stylists to have an online platform and now, more than ever, we are seeing this come to life.  Australian Style Institute student, Tina from Trash to Treasured, recently launched a styling experience that is completely online, with all consultations being done by zoom or skype, and all shopping taking place on online platforms. She is proof that online personal styling is a growing subsection of the styling industry and one of the reasons why you should join her.         

Why you need a Personal Stylist

As we get busier we also get increasingly time poor. Most people, whether they be CEOs, office workers or students, don’t have time to do their laundry or cook dinner for themselves let alone go through the process of leaving the house to shop for clothes, which in itself is a time consuming and stressful task at the best of times. There is an easy answer to that: Online shopping. But, the world of online shopping can be daunting and overwhelming for those who don’t know how to navigate through the flashing banners advertising sales and the confusing sizes, fits and fabrics. That’s where your expertise in styling and knowledge of how to shop like a stylist comes in. 

Become a Personal Stylist

There are no location boundaries.

Online Personal Styling also allows you to have a wider customer reach. You are no longer limited to a single location as you would be with in-person styling. Online styling gives you the opportunity to be styling clients from the other side of the world as well as the other side of the city, all from the comfort of your home. You can reach people who live in rural locations or people who can’t leave their house. This is the beauty of being able to run style consultations using skype or zoom. You can even send them a digital questionnaire to complete prior, providing a detailed description of what their needs are as your client. 

What course to study to become a Personal Stylist

You may have a passion for styling, fashion, and for helping people look and feel their best but don’t know where to begin. It’s a daunting task to start something new, especially when you might not have the knowledge or support to make those dreams come true.
