Brett - May 2010

I thought I would offer thanks on behalf of a husband.
Like many mums, my wife always took last place in the clothing stakes. She always makes an effort to look good. As we struggled with 3 young uns, a new house ( we have moved and built 3 times in 5 years), no money, no sleep and all the other, she became increasingly “invisible”. Her lack of self belief impacted all over our relationship and provided some considerable challenges.
I could tell her how beautiful she was, but until she believed it herself, my words were never fertile.I encouraged her to do the makeover and she has a whole new look and attitude / confidence to match. So why the big spiel? Because all too often, people who do an exceptional job, never get properly acknowledged.
This has been an extraordinary journey for Helen: You have helped her believe in herself again as a woman, not just a mum.
And I just wanted to say thanks as best I could.

Firstly I just wanted to say thanks heaps for everything that you put in to Destination Style. We have had SO MANY positives at school from staff, students and parents about how well the evening went and how interesting it was. Also, every female on the staff seems extremely envious of Karen and I and the expert advice we got from you and Niq James, Face, and Savoir. I'm quite into this now after all the compliments!

 I am really enjoying the clothes thanks. I even went back and got the grey dress that same day! I have had the skirt and trousers adjusted. Thanks for all your help. A couple of friends popped out at the weekend to see my purchases and were very impressed.

Thank you so much for your help on Monday. I absolutely love the outfits I got. I have spent half the day wearing my new red shoes around the house to wear them in - they didn't need it they are so comfortable.I am really excited about my paua shell outfit and have two social functions coming up soon to which I can wear my new outfits. I will be spreading the word. I was however disappointed on one aspect - the time went toooooo fast!

Thanks Steph! What a fantastic experience. My wardrobe has never looked so bright and cheerful, and its so easy to mix and match different pieces together. My winter coat is my favourite! I will highly reccomend your service to all my friends and family.

Jennie - Dec 2008

A most sincere thank you also for all the help and advice you have given to me and Samantha. Sam just adored the consultation she had with you and has already taken action. She also feels more confident about her looks and the clothes she wears and loves the colours of her Summer pallet. We"ve also gone and chosen some new softer framed glasses and contacts! I am so glad I made the move to contact you when I saw your ad and it's the best money I've spent in years! I think I'll be booking you again to help me shop for my winter wardrobe when the season looms as I'm not fond of the cold and have a mental block about what to wear.

Tina - August 2008

I hate shopping for clothes. The thought of finding something for my daughter's wedding was a nightmare. Stephanie made it so easy. She talked to me, went out and selected some garments and brought them to my house so I could try them on. She was honest in her appraisal, listened to my insecure mumblings and encouraged me to try different ideas. The result...I felt absolutely fantastic at the wedding and my 4 daughters all loved my outfit.

Rachel - May 2008

I just had to let you know how fabulous I feel after all the work you have done with me over the last few months culminating in our shopping trip last night. I got up this morning and had no trouble choosing what to wear. Everything in my wardrobe goes together and suits not only my colouring but also my body shape. Thank you so much Steph, the whole process has made me feel more confident than I did even before I had my children! I will definitely have you back to Tauranga again in the spring to help me!

Sara - Feb 2008

A total makeover experience starting with a colour analysis, then a style analysis and a very refreshing wardrobe cleanse (may I never look at those old clothes again), followed by a fantastic shopping trip to fill in the gaps in my wardrobe. Thanks for giving me the courage to restyle my hair and making me look much younger in the process. Now clothes are suited to my body shape, my sense of style and of course to my lifestyle. Thanks for your wonderful guidance Steph, I wouldn't have done it without you.

Jeff - Dec 2007

Stephanie helped me put together a wardrobe for the 2007 Addington Race Day Best Dressed Men’s competition.
Her confidence and friendly personality made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Her sense of style and attention to detail gave me the result I was after: a sharp, fresh and modern look. I made the final of the competition as a result which I was very pleased with. I warmly recommend her to anyone considering getting a new look. Stephanie will almost certainly get you noticed if that is what you want!

Corporate - 2009

We asked Stephanie to do a presentation relating to image and perception for our store managers at our yearly national managers meeting. Stephanie was energetic, informative and engaging. Her presentation was educational, but was well balanced with plenty of opportunities for feedback and humour. We had three guest speakers during the 2 day conference and Stephanie was easily the most popular and well received presenter we employed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending stephanie.

Fundraising events 2009

The Lincoln University Recreation Centre Summer Fashion Parade was a hit with over 200 people packing out this event. Steph showcased the latest fashions from a range of clothing and accessory retailers. The models were from Lincoln University Recreation Centre and all underwent makeup and hair makeovers thanks to Face Stockholm and Niq James Hairdressing. Two members of the Recreation Centre were transformed, including a body makeover through the rec centre whilst Steph and her team worked their magic with clothing, hair, makeup and much much more. $1200.00 was raised for Ronald MacDonald House South Island and the event was a success thanks to Steph and her team.
