Styling FAQ
Sylvia conducts her styling sessions virtually and in person for clients who reside within 20 miles of Northwest Washington, D.C. When you sign up for an appointment using Calendly, you will be asked to provide your phone number. Sylvia will call you at the time you have selected.
An initial complimentary consultation by video is required before booking any styling sessions. This consult is an opportunity for you to describe your styling needs and ask any questions you may have about the process. It also helps Sylvia pinpoint the scope of work to be done and suggest a strategy for accomplishing your goals.
After your initial consult, you can decide which styling package makes the most sense for you based on your priorities and budget. Most clients choose to sign up for a Closet Edit before booking a styling appointment. This will not only streamline your wardrobe, but it will maximize the time spent putting together looks in subsequent sessions.
No preparation is required, but here are a few tips to maximize your time with Sylvia.
For Closet Edits, have the items in your wardrobe grouped together by category (pants, shirts, dresses, etc.) prior to your appointment. Be prepared to show Sylvia your current “go to” outfit formula and the cherished items you can’t live without to give her a sense of your style comfort zone.
Regular sessions can be used to style specific items in your closet, put together looks for specific occasions, create capsule wardrobes for everyday or for travel, and more. You should arrive to your appointment knowing which one or combination of these services is your priority.
During a Closet Edit, Sylvia will evaluate your wardrobe and help you eliminate any unflattering, outdated, or worn out items. She may ask you to try on certain pieces to assess the fit, and will talk you through her recommendations.
During a styling session, Sylvia will put together outfit combinations using items in your closet. You are welcome to record the session, and are encouraged to photograph flat lays of the wardrobe pieces together for future reference.
Cancellation less than 24 hours prior to your appointment is not allowed, but you are able to reschedule to a different time within the same month.
