I got interested in image consulting
because I have an innate and sincere passion for helping people look and feel their best. I love to see the transformation of someone from who they are right now, into who they dream of being. I have always been interested in image and holistic beauty, as it is something that runs within my family. My mother is a spa consultant, my aunt is a beauty teacher, my cousin is a hair stylist and my grandmother is one of India's first women entrepreneurs who started her own beauty salon in 1977
I chose to train at AIM because
it was the most professional and well-reputed agency in Asia. The training proved to be motivational, inspirational and life changing for me.
My favorite part of the course was
the realization that image consultants not only transform a client's appearance, but that this change can inspire a client to alter their perceptions about themselves, and to feel more confident, positive and tremendously empowered.
What I appreciate most about the trainers
was their sincerity, and dedication to image consulting. They were so passionate about their work, that it significantly encouraged me to do my best and believe I could have a flourishing business in image consulting.
A significant breakthrough after the course
was signing a client just two weeks later. It was such an exciting time for me to prove to myself, and my client, that I had the knowledge and passion to succeed in this field. To date, this client has proven to be my biggest source of revenue and support.
My joy as an image consultant comes from
the satisfaction and sheer excitement that radiates from every one of my clients after a consultation. Another sense of joy stems from my own personal growth. With each seminar that I conduct, I gain more and more confidence and really feel a sense of accomplishment and purpose for what I do.
The best client feedback I've received
"It boosted my confidence and I learnt how to buy clothes to suit my skin tone and style. Shireena even took me shopping and got me to buy clothes I would never wear in a million years. The result, fabulous, come Monday morning I received compliments non stop from colleagues. I felt like a million dollars. I make more of an effort now that Shireena has shared with me about looking after myself better, and dressing up to make myself feel good. Shireena is a very patient consultant, she takes the time to get to know a person's style and makes the changes accordingly. Most of all I like that she dares you to go outside yourself to try new things. It's made a huge difference in my life." – Stacy Thumboo, Resourcer – Hudson, Singapore
The future I see in image consulting
is for more corporate institutions to hire image consultants to help merge the impression or representation their staff creates, with the brand message of the company. As competition within the market increases, there is tremendous pressure for organizations to have staff that are professional and impeccably presentable and uphold the company's values and standards.
