Image Consultant Career Details

Image consultants use their knowledge and skills to advise individuals and companies on all aspects of personal impact and appearance.

With a client base of private individuals, this can include colour analysis, style analysis, choosing and applying make-up, wardrobe management, personal shopping, talks and demonstrations.

With corporate clients it can include the above plus training workshops, formal talks and presentations, key-note speaking, branding, audits, executive coaching, body language, etiquette, and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).

Image consultants can work with people from all sectors: public and private companies, politics and media, adult education, charities, fashion and retail.The media increasingly require image consultants to contribute to television and radio programmes, and to articles in local, national and specialist press.
