Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
FAQ 1. What does an image consultant do?
An image consultant helps you align how you present yourself with your personal and professional goals. This may include colour consultation, style analysis, wardrobe planning, and guidance on how to communicate confidence and credibility through your appearance.
FAQ 2. Which service should I start with?
Many clients begin with a colour consultation, as knowing your best colours makes shopping and wardrobe decisions much easier. A style consultation then helps refine silhouettes and clothing structure, while wardrobe sessions help translate these insights into everyday outfits.
FAQ 3. Are your consultations only for professionals?
While many of my clients are professionals and leaders, the services are valuable for anyone who wants to look confident, polished, and authentic in how they present themselves.
FAQ 4. Can consultations be done online?
Yes. Online consultations are available for clients outside the Netherlands or for those who prefer a remote session.
FAQ 5. Are consultations only for women?
No. Image consultations are beneficial for people of all genders. The principles of colour harmony, proportion, and visual balance apply to everyone.
FAQ 6. Can I bring someone with me?
If you have booked a one-on-one consultation, please come by yourself so we can focus fully on your analysis.
If you would like to share the experience with a friend, you may consider booking a duo consultation, which is designed for two people.
FAQ 7. Where are the consultations located?
In-person consultations take place in the Utrecht area. I have a studio in Maarssen and another location in Woerden.
Online consultations are also available if you are not based in the Netherlands or prefer a remote session.
Frequently Asked Questions About Colour Consultation
FAQ 1. How long does a colour consultation take?
A standard colour consultation takes 90 minutes, while the premium consultation takes around 2 hours. (Because of different colour system/tools used). During the session we analyse your natural colouring and show you how to use your colours in clothing, accessories, and makeup.
FAQ 2. What is included in a colour consultation?
During the consultation we analyse your skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour to determine the shades that suit you best. You will also learn how to combine colours for different occasions and how to use your personal colour palette when shopping or building outfits.
FAQ 3. Do I receive a colour palette?
Yes. You will receive a personal colour swatch containing either 36 colours (Printed | Basic) or 54–60 colours (Fabric | Premium). Your palette becomes a practical reference when shopping and building your wardrobe.
FAQ 4. Can I do a colour consultation online?
Yes. Online colour consultations are available for clients outside the Netherlands.
Before the session, you will receive simple preparation instructions, including how to take a few photos in natural light. These allow me to analyse your colouring accurately before the consultation.
During the session, we will review your results together and discuss how to use your colours in clothing, accessories, and makeup.
FAQ 6. Can I wear makeup when I come to the consultation?
Please refrain from wearing facial foundation on the day of the consultation. Seeing your natural skin tone clearly in natural light is important for accurate colour analysis.
You are welcome to wear your usual eye makeup if you wish.
FAQ 7. What do I need to prepare for the consultation?
After your booking is confirmed, you will receive a short email with preparation instructions.
There is very little you need to prepare, and the guidance is simply to help ensure the consultation runs smoothly.
FAQ 8. Should I choose the Basic or Premium colour consultation? What is the difference?
Both options provide a complete personal colour analysis and clear guidance on how to use your best colours.
The Basic consultation introduces your most flattering colour palette and explains how to apply it in clothing, accessories, and makeup. The system includes 16 different colour types, and you will receive the colour swatch that corresponds to your type.
The Premium consultation uses a more advanced colour system with a larger personalised fabric palette. It allows for a deeper and more precise analysis, including subtle variations in tone, depth, and colour harmony. Each colour strip in your palette is individually selected, rather than taken from a standard set.
If you would like a more detailed and refined colour palette, the Premium consultation is recommended.
If you simply want to discover your most flattering colours and learn how to use them confidently, the Basic consultation works perfectly well.
Frequently Asked Questions About Style Consultation
FAQ 1. What is a style consultation?
A style consultation focuses on identifying clothing silhouettes, proportions, and design elements that complement your body shape and personal style. You will learn how to choose garments that enhance your natural features and create balanced, confident outfits.
FAQ 2. How long does a style consultation take?
A classic style consultation takes around 90 minutes, allowing enough time to analyse body proportions, explore style directions, and discuss practical outfit strategies.
The premium one takes about 3 hours.
FAQ 3. Do I need to bring anything to the consultation?
You do not need to bring anything specific. However, some clients choose to bring a few items from their wardrobe if they would like advice on how to style them.
FAQ 4. Should I do colour or style first?
Both services complement each other. Many clients begin with a colour consultation, as knowing your best colours makes choosing clothing easier. A style consultation then helps refine silhouettes and clothing structure.
However, if you already know your colours or would like to focus on clothing fit and proportions, it is perfectly fine to start with a style consultation.
FAQ 5. Is a style consultation the same as a wardrobe consultation?
Not exactly.
A style consultation focuses on understanding your body proportions and the clothing lines that suit you best. A wardrobe consultation works with the clothes you already own to build outfits and organise your wardrobe, and may also include personal shopping.
FAQ 6. Can I combine colour and style consultations?
Yes. Many clients choose to combine colour and style consultations to gain a complete understanding of how to build a wardrobe that reflects their personality, lifestyle, and professional presence.
FAQ 7. Can I do a style consultation online?
Yes. Online style consultations are available for clients outside the Netherlands.
Before the session, you will receive simple preparation instructions, including how to take a few photos in natural light. These allow me to analyse your proportions and style accurately before the consultation.
During the session, we review the results together and discuss how to choose clothing and accessories that work best for you.
FAQ 8. What do I need to prepare for the consultation?
After your booking is confirmed, you will receive a short email with preparation instructions.
There is very little you need to prepare. The guidance simply helps ensure the consultation runs smoothly.
FAQ 9. Should I choose the Classic or Premium style consultation? What is the difference?
Both consultations help you understand which clothing styles and proportions suit you best.
The Classic consultation focuses on identifying your body proportions and the clothing lines that enhance your natural features. It provides clear guidance on choosing silhouettes and garments that create balanced, confident outfits.
The Premium consultation allows more time to explore your personal style in greater depth. In addition to what is covered in the Classic session, we also look at your facial features, accessories, and hairstyle, and spend more time identifying your Style Personality. The focus is on developing a cohesive style that reflects your lifestyle and professional presence.
If you would like a deeper and more comprehensive style strategy, the Premium consultation is the best option.
If your main goal is to understand which clothing shapes and proportions suit your body best, the Classic consultation is often sufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wardrobe Consultation
FAQ 1. What is a wardrobe consultation?
A wardrobe consultation starts with the clothes you already own.
Together we review your wardrobe, identify gaps, remove pieces that no longer work for you, and create new outfit combinations so your wardrobe becomes more practical, cohesive, and easy to use.
FAQ 2. What is a digital capsule wardrobe?
A digital wardrobe is a structured digital overview of your clothing that you can access through a mobile app. Your clothes, accessories, outfit combinations, and style recommendations are organised in one place, making daily dressing easier and more intentional.
Many clients find it especially helpful for maintaining a clear and organised wardrobe over time, reducing decision fatigue and helping them feel put together every day.
A capsule wardrobe focuses on creating maximum outfit combinations with a smaller number of well-chosen pieces, allowing you to mix and match easily while reducing unnecessary purchases.
FAQ 3. What can I see inside my digital wardrobe?
Your digital wardrobe is organised into three main sections:
LOOKBOOK – Outfit combinations created specifically for you, organised by occasions such as work, casual days, events, or travel.
CLOSET – A digital catalogue of your clothing pieces so you can easily see what you own.
FINDS – Personalised shopping suggestions curated by me to help you add pieces that integrate naturally into your wardrobe and increase its versatility.
FAQ 4. How does the digital wardrobe help me?
A digital wardrobe simplifies everyday dressing. Instead of wondering what to wear, you can browse your LOOKBOOKand quickly see outfit combinations created specifically for you using the items in your digital closet.
It also helps you make better shopping decisions and use your existing wardrobe more effectively.
FAQ 5. Will I be able to access my wardrobe on my phone?
Not exactly.
Yes. Your digital wardrobe is accessible through a mobile app, allowing you to easily view your outfits, clothing pieces, and recommendations anytime.
FAQ 6. How is the digital wardrobe created?
This can be done either in person or online.
During a wardrobe session, we review your clothing together and identify the pieces that will remain part of your wardrobe. These items are photographed and added to your digital wardrobe.
If the session is online, you can photograph your clothing yourself with my guidance.
Once the items are uploaded, I organise them and create outfit combinations that you can view in your LOOKBOOK. Based on your wardrobe, I may also suggest future purchases that would integrate naturally with what you already own.
FAQ 7. Do you offer personal shopping?
es. I offer both in-person personal shopping and online shopping support.
In both cases, I help you select pieces that complement your existing wardrobe and fit naturally into your style and lifestyle.
FAQ 8. Do I need a colour or style consultation first?
Not necessarily, although it can be helpful.
Some clients choose this service because they do not have time to shop or build outfits themselves. In these cases, we begin with a short consultation (online or in person) to understand your preferences, lifestyle, body proportions, and colour direction. Based on this information, I can curate clothing selections and outfit combinations for you without requiring a full consultation.
Many clients appreciate this approach because it saves time and simplifies their wardrobe decisions.
FAQ 9. Do I need to buy new clothes for the digital wardrobe?
Not necessarily. The goal is to maximise the value of the clothes you already own.
If new pieces are recommended, they are carefully selected to complement your existing wardrobe. Most clients choose to make small updates once or twice a year, adding only a few key pieces that expand the versatility of their wardrobe.
FAQ 10. How long does it take to create the digital wardrobe?
The process usually begins with a wardrobe session where we review and photograph your clothing.
Sometimes a few strategic shopping suggestions are made to help create more outfit combinations. I then organise your wardrobe digitally and create outfit combinations that you can access through the app.
The typical turnaround time is about two weeks.
