Image Consultancy Training for the Individual
  The Make-Over phenomenon,  the obsession with celebrity fashion , disposable fashion, and with  people wearing 20%* of their clothes 80% of the time have all created a new and more informed market for image consultancy. Normally you have to go to London to be trained in image, but now you can attain London standards image training in Galway, Ireland.

* Tracked research by UK Financial Institute, courtesy of Good Housekeeping magazine, 2006 stated that on average women in the UK spent £13,000 in their life time on clothes never worn or only worn once.
  • Train to be an accredited Image consultant - you cannot do this job effectively to the level of service in demand without the training. This is not just about having a good eye, although it helps. This is about a science that works, so much so that it is now a City and Guilds internationally recognised qualification.

The Service

  • Full training in:
    • Personal Colour analysis for women and men
    • Style (shapes) analysis for both women and men.
  • Working to the principles of Aston & Hayes, the leading independent trainer for image consultancy in the UK
  • Adapted for the Irish Market - the model that incorporates specific topics for Ireland
  • Training is carried out at my studio in Galway, for one to three people, maximum
  • Aston and Hayes are endorsed by the TFIC of Great Britain. Materials for setting up your business are supplied by Aston and Hayes

Why I trained with Aston and Hayes:

  • I trained many years ago with Aston and Hayes after much research because they are also a design agency and they work with major fashion retailers in the UK.
  • Jennifer Aston, Director, is a true professional and leading light in the intellectual side of fashion in the UK with regular media appearances on the BBC and a varied case load from working with the individual to working globally with corporate companies on the personal brand of their leaders and staff.
A few crucial facts that make my service different, unique and bespoke to the Irish market place:
  • Everyone who trains with me gets their total image audited and revamped through tried and trusted retailers to suit all budget types. This saves an inordinate amount of time on revamping your image to showcase your new skill set. This is not compulsory, but an additional bonus, if you are interested.
  • Style classification of Irish retailers
  • Make-up colours and sources for Irish Skin Tones and global skin tones
  • Understanding how the industry works, trends and colours, marketing messages and so on.
  • How to market your business locally and beyond
  • How to build a network of trusted stakeholders to facilitate growth
  • How to edit clothes to individual proportions - this will be demonstrated by my favourite and nationally acclaimed local boutique owner/London trained designer
  • Editing clothes to individual body shapes - this is my favourite part of image rebrands. I have dressed a great number of women and men both commercially and for charity fund-raisers and the level of creative satisfaction is enormous. Seeing someone rejoice in their assets rather than focusing on irrelevant image challenges is a great result.
