How does one become an image consultant?

For Madeleine, it all begins with a total questioning and reflection on the very meaning of her life, a desire for renewal to regain a taste for everything. Of course, the departure is made with a passion for fashion and the will to transmit to all those who want to feel good about themselves. It is under the impulse of a friend that she leaves for Milan to follow a training course as a style coach. She loves fashion, but what she loves above all else is to empathize with others, to advise them and lead them on paths they probably never thought they would take alone. She will succeed in reconciling her passion with the desire to help people to reveal themselves. You have to follow your desires and not give up,” she says.

Image advice: learn to look at yourself in the mirror.

Madeleine explains us that the relooking does not consist only in redoing her closet and to pass by the beauty salon. It is a deeper work, of personal development, which seeks to identify the client’s needs in order to define a style that will make him feel in tune with himself and especially gain a little more each day in confidence. A concrete work on self-esteem and self-esteem. Image consulting can be carried out when the person feels the need to be in tune with himself, after significant events such as a break-up or dismissal. For Madeleine, there is nothing more gratifying than a satisfied client who finds a smile, confidence and acceptance of his image. However, this can take time, one must respect the rhythm of the person who wants to confide in you, and then the wish expressed to desire a change.

The meeting with NOW Geneva: a revelation

The partnership between our image consultant and NOW Geneva was obvious. Our style coach immediately adhered to the concept of supporting not only brands but also local stores, boutiques and craftsmen, which often goes against E-consumption. A different, more ethical way of consuming, which she has put into practice with her children, with one bet: to stop buying online for a whole year. She admits that the game at the beginning was a bit restrictive, she had to change her habits and above all set up an organization between work and family life, which was not always simple. However, very quickly gambling became a real art of living. Today, we discover local merchants with quality products, we take the time to taste good things and we participate directly in keeping a local economy alive.

We strongly encourage you to do the same! Consume better by visiting our neighbourhood stores.

Why use an image consultant

If you are looking for renewal in your life, or simply want to become the best version of yourself, don’t hesitate to undertake an image consulting process. Our coach will take care of you for a makeover from A to Z, from the analysis of your needs, through a shopping trip, to finish with a beauty makeover in a beauty salon. The work begins with a current image assessment, then with the definition of objectives. Other subjects are then addressed such as colorimetry or body and face analysis. Finally, your wardrobe is examined in order to agree on the master pieces that can be associated or others that can be adjusted. Madeleine will be able to show you the tricks to make your face look beautiful, which can sometimes be simple and effective. Don’t forget that all these services are for both women and men, so give in to temptation if you’re in the mood for a fresh new look for a fresh start!
