Nail Your Closet Cleanse And Book Follow-Up Appointments

The Closet Cleanse is one of the most popular and satisfying styling sessions, but it is also the most intimate styling services because your client is sharing a peek into their 'dirty laundry.' Gain their trust by providing stellar deliverables to score repeat bookings.

 

Closet Cleanse To Do List

• Determine Pricing & Evaluate Time
  Charge your hourly rate multiplied by two hours, adjusting based on closet size. Keep in mind, fatigue sets in by the 2 hour mark, so keep the session 1.5 - 2 hours.
• Prepare Your Client
  Ask your client to prepare clothing piles to get the most value out of the appointment. 

• All the Time Pile: Favorites they always wear.
• Never Pile: Items that no longer fit or they don’t like.
• Later Pile: Items they’re not ready to part with.
• How to Wear Pile: Loved items that need styling tips.

• Review Wardrobe & Provide Stellar Deliverables
  Ask your client to try things on so you can give a clear and decisive take on what to keep, style, or remove. Then, suggest pieces to fill wardrobe gaps in a high-level way (i.e. a blazer and a tall boot rather than items from specific brands).
• Follow Up
  Now that your client feels like their closet is lighter and curated encourage a seasonal refresh to get those few pieces they can integrate to make the most out of their wardrobe.
