Hi Kathi,
I do not wear any makeup and have long hair. Is there a minimum amount of makeup that is considered appropriate (i.e. lipstick, mascara, etc)?
I have also noticed professional women tend to have short hair. My hair is always clean and tidy, but I’m not sure Read the rest of this entry »

Uniforms Make It Easy to Forget To Think Outside The Box!
Successful Business Owner Grows Up
Before / After Case Study:
Situation:
This client was lost about how to dress as a woman over 30. She still relied on styles that she wore in her twenties and had not yet discovered the right departments to shop in as a mature adult. She would constantly find herself in the Junior section by default and didn’t know where to look in women’s departments. Her employees were constantly telling her to wear grown up clothes!
Solution:
Show her what clothes worked for her body shape and position in life. After all, she was now a mom and the owner a very successful salon. Once she saw how great she looked in the clothes that actually worked for her body shape she learned her rules in a flash! With a little guidance, she quickly absorbed her new clothing guidelines and developed a style that was a WOW!
What My Client Said:
“I feel like a grown up now. I had not been going to the right types of stores since I have been in San Diego. Working with Kathi has been a life-changing experience. My confidence level has soared and people are now taking me more seriously. Now I know what to shop for and where to get it.”

Employee Comment:
“She looks great and now wears real clothes instead of teenage stuff. You did a great job!”
Scientist Caught in Casual Friday
Before / After Case Study:
Challenge:
This successful scientist wore jeans and casual clothes to work five days a week. She managed a small department but did stand out as a manager.
Solution:
We upgraded her wardrobe so that she was still casual but had an edge of professionalism. This suit can be worn as a whole during presentations but also broken up to wear more casually with jeans or a casual top. We found shoes that were more professional than tennis shoes but still comfortable enough to wear all day. One week later, her new hair, makeup and glasses frame her face perfectly. One year later, this client reports that she now heads a staff three times as large as her last department proving to me that a professional image does help you move up the corporate ladder!
What My Client Said:
“I am not sure if the new image had anything to do with my promotion, but I am certain that it has helped me to be taken more seriously at work. You really opened my eyes to that fact that I was not dressing as well as the other management-level associates in my company. Looking back, I don’t know why I did not see that on my own, but I didn’t! I guess it is very difficult to see yourself objectively.”
Thanks again,
B.Y. San Diego
