Meet Charlotte, Personal Stylist

A graduate of the Personal Styling for a Career course

Charlotte has been working as a fashion and style content creator for over seven years, but don't worry if you don't have any prior experience. The beauty of our course is that we teach you absolutely everything, so don't let a lack of experience deter you from training as a personal stylist. Back to Charlotte, though: despite her experience in creating fashion content, she had never formally studied personal styling or been taught how to address the unique needs of different body shapes and lifestyles. Our course offered her the opportunity to bridge this gap.

"In the Personal Styling for a Career course, I have gained the skills, knowledge, and confidence to be able to work with other women to help them with their wardrobe and dressing dilemmas.”


Learning and loving the process

One of the aspects Charlotte enjoyed the most was learning about different body shapes and how to dress them effectively. She highlights the revolutionary Hourglass Balancing Method® taught by our founder, Melissa, as a key tool in understanding how to create flattering looks for everyday women. Additionally, Charlotte has honed her skills in creating capsule wardrobes with new techniques and insights on how to tailor these for women at every stage of life in a way that suits their unique lifestyle.

Flexibility for family life

The course is self-guided so you can complete it at your own pace, this worked really well for Charlotte and her young family. The flexibility of learning at her own pace without compromising family time has been a significant benefit. Now trained, Charlotte is setting up her online personal styling services, offering her the flexibility to work from home and manage her schedule around her family's needs. This aspect of the career is perfect for anyone looking for a professional path that works around with their lifestyle.

From learning to launching

Charlotte is looking forward to applying her newfound knowledge and skills to set up her online personal styling services. “The course not only gives you the personal styling knowledge and tools you need,” she says, “but also advice and tips on creating your own business too.” This holistic approach ensures that our students are well-prepared to start their careers in personal styling.

She's looking to the future and like many of you she wants to continue her professional development with a colour analysis course - watch this space is all we're going to say! Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she highly recommends the course to anyone thinking about a career in personal styling.

Charlotte’s journey from a fashion content creator to personal stylist exemplifies what our course aims to achieve: empowering you to turn your passion into a thriving career. Her success story is a testament to how the right course and support can pave the way for a fulfilling new career path.

We’re incredibly proud of Charlotte and all that she has achieved. If you’ve been thinking about exploring personal styling, take it from her: this course is your gateway to transforming your love for style into a professional success story.

Thank you Melissa and the rest of the Styling Academy for pulling together such a great course. It contains an absolute wealth of information (both styling and business based plus all the tips and tricks that Melissa has learned in 20 years of styling) and Melissa’s energy is so warm and her teaching so natural. I enjoyed every part of it and feel totally inspired to move forward into a new career in styling with professionalism and equipped with all the tools I need. I truly believe that this course stands apart from the others, I was hesitant at first because it is all online but this is no barrier to learning from the best! In fact I think it’s better than the face to face courses I explored. If you have a dream to kickstart your own career in personal styling and to hit the road running, I believe there is no better course out there. I’m looking forward to future training opportunities and hopefully to meet you all in person one day!

Melissa's Personal Styling for a Career course is a game-changer! Unlike other courses I’ve taken or books I have read, she focuses on real women with real bodies, offering practical and useful information with many videos demonstrating her points. Her emphasis on everyday styling is spot-on. No high fashion fluff—just strategies to help women feel great in what they wear. The virtual styling section was a standout to me. In today's digital world, knowing how to style clients remotely is a must. Melissa's thorough videos cover everything, from virtual consultations to assembling virtual wardrobes from head to toe. If you're considering personal styling as a career, I highly recommend Melissa’s course! It's practical, confidence-boosting, and covers every aspect of the job.

Thank you, MM and team, for giving generating this program and allowing me to discover a new career path. I have always wanted to help people and my career has crossed that in hospitals, an insurance company, an elite homebuilder assistant and back into Human Resources for a family run business presently. To those wishing to gift women of this world to see their beauty and celebrate it with them this course is for you. I highly recommend it whole-heartedly. The video format was straightforward, the worksheets easy to complete. The real woman examples/models were very generous sharing their attributes, what their lifestyles where and what they wanted to achieve from the styling. I only have wonderful words for this program. I always adored fashion and helping woman see their beauty as unique as it is. The course has helped me learn skills that allows me to help women really "see" their beauty and recreate it in their daily lives. what a gift to share ... I have completed the course and have held back completing the examination portion as I wanted to be able to "intern" so to speak and do styling for family, friends and anyone willing to allow me to gain experience. I look forward to feeling confident and practiced enough to complete the exam portion of the program very soon. Melissa and her team truly have put together a course that allows you to learn at your own pace and it's amazing when you start styling how much you truly have learnt, and a side perk is people start to notice how you are styling yourself :-). Thank you again Melissa and team for giving me a new career path I am loving.
