Do you love makeover shows like "What Not to Wear" and "Style By Jury"? Do you have a keen eye for fashion, and enjoy helping people reach their potential? If so, a beauty career as a personal stylist may be the perfect choice for you.

Top cosmetology schools nationwide are recruiting fashion lovers to enroll in their personal stylist programs and work in the exciting industry of fashion styling. You could be working behind the scenes of a music video or with top celebrities in less than a year.

What Is a Personal Stylist?

A personal stylist or image consultant works with clients to improve their self-esteem by developing their personal appearance. The workday of a personal stylist is varied and can include the following activities:

  • Wardrobe analysis
  • Shopping excursions
  • Body and face shape analysis
  • Personal color analysis
  • Grooming lessons
  • Posture lessons
  • Etiquette lessons

Personal stylists need to instill confidence and knowledge into their clients; therefore, a solid education in fashion styling from an accredited cosmetology school is the basis for a successful career.

Personal stylists work for a varied clientele, including:

  • Individuals
  • Corporate clients
  • Celebrities and musicians
  • Beauty pageant contestants
  • Public figures
  • Politicians

How to Train as a Personal Stylist

The first step to this dynamic beauty career is to register for an image styling program at a cosmetology school that offers it. There are a multitude of online beauty schools that offer personal styling training through correspondence. However, while online beauty schools are convenient, brick-and-mortar cosmetology schools can offer invaluable hands-on training and exposure to industry professionals.

Fashion styling is a career where ambition and dedication, along with shrewd business sense, can enable you to earn anywhere from $100 a day to over $5000, depending on your reputation as a stylist.

One of Hollywood's most popular stylists, Rachel Zoe, earns in excess of $6000 a day to dress the A-listers. If you have a passion for fashion and excellent communication skills, enroll at a cosmetology school now to join the exciting industry of image consulting.
