Makeover vs. Image Consulting: The True Choice for You

Welcome to this first chapter of our blog dedicated to image advice for women, where self-affirmation and confidence in one's image are particularly important.

First, we're going to cover an essential topic: the difference between makeovers and image consulting, and why this distinction is crucial for you.

1: The difference between makeover and image consulting

A makeover is often seen as a dramatic transformation in a person's appearance. When we think of makeovers, we often imagine television shows where participants undergo a complete transformation in a matter of hours. It's undeniably impressive to see, but it's essential to understand that these transformations are not representative of reality. In addition, they often do not last over time.

Image consulting, on the other hand, takes a much more subtle and lasting approach. Instead of seeking to radically transform a person, he begins by understanding who they really are. This in-depth understanding is the key to advising effectively over the long term. Because even though a look may seem beautiful, if it doesn't reflect the person inside, they won't feel good in it.

As part of image consulting, we consider each client as a unique person. We take into account their personality, lifestyle, body shape, preferences and aspirations. The goal is not only to transform it, but to allow it to know itself better and reveal its natural beauty. We firmly believe that true elegance lies in authenticity, and that is why image consulting focuses on valuing the person as they are.

We work with our clients to create styles that truly suit them. We do not seek to impose ephemeral trends, but to highlight their individuality. When you wear clothes that reflect who you are, you feel more comfortable, confident, and ready to take on the world.

In conclusion, the main difference between makeover and image consulting lies in the approach. The makeover aims for immediate and spectacular transformation, while image consulting seeks to understand and enhance the person for lasting and authentic results. In the following chapters, we will explore in detail why it is essential to take into account lifestyle, your relationship with your body, your relationship with fashion, and the objectives of the session to enhance a person.

2: Lifestyle: why is it important to take it into account to highlight a person?

Your lifestyle is a fundamental element to consider when it comes to enhancing your personal image. After all, you wear your clothes for hours every day, and they should allow you to live life to the fullest, regardless of your pace or responsibilities.

Consider this: Whether you're a busy mom caring for a toddler, a vibrant young woman who loves going out with friends, or an office-based professional with an active social life, your clothing needs will be different. However, it is possible that all of these women have the same size (for example, a 36) and a similar body shape.

This is where lifestyle comes into play. It represents the key element in highlighting a person. We understand that what you wear should fit your daily routine, activities and personality. A mother will need practical and comfortable clothing that will allow her to take care of her child without hindrance. A dynamic woman will need versatile pieces that will take her from day to night with ease. A professional will look for elegant outfits that will make her feel confident at work and during social outings.

As image consultants, we take all of these factors into account to help you put together a wardrobe that reflects your lifestyle and allows you to feel comfortable and confident in all situations. Our goal is to allow you to live your life to the fullest, without your outfit being a barrier.

Lifestyle is therefore the most important element to take into account when it comes to highlighting a person. In the following sections, we'll explore in depth why your relationship with your body, your relationship with fashion and the goals of the session are equally essential in this exciting process of revealing your true style.

3: The relationship with your body: why is it important to take it into account to enhance a person?

Your relationship with your body is unique, personal and complex. Each of us has a different perception of our body, influenced by many factors such as society, culture, media, and our personal experiences. Some people have great self-confidence in this regard, while others may harbor concerns and complexes.

At Loëla, we understand the importance of not passing judgment on these differences. A resort is a resort, and we respect each guest with kindness and understanding. We know that accepting yourself as you are can be a challenge, and we are here to support you in this process.

However, it is just as essential to know how to identify and value the aspects of your body that you appreciate. Rather than focusing on what you don't like, we prefer to highlight your natural assets. This means choosing clothes and styles that highlight the parts of your body that you love, to help you feel beautiful and confident.

During our image counseling sessions, we work closely with you to understand your perception of your body and to help you develop a positive body image. We believe that beauty comes largely from self-confidence, and that every person deserves to feel beautiful and valued.

In summary, your relationship with your body is a crucial element to take into account to enhance your personality. We are here to help you embrace your body as it is, identify your strengths and highlight them. In the next chapters, we will discuss in detail why the relationship to fashion and the objectives of the session are also key elements of our approach to image consulting.

4: The relationship with fashion: why is it important to take it into account to highlight a person?

Your relationship with fashion is an essential dimension of your identity and personal style. It influences the way you choose your clothes, your accessories and even your hairstyle. Understanding your relationship with fashion is therefore a crucial element in highlighting your personality.

Let's imagine two women: one loves spending time dressing up, following the latest trends and experimenting with new looks. The other prefers simplicity, comfort and does not care about current trends. These two women have totally different fashion styles, and that's perfectly normal.

For us, as image consultants, it is fundamental to understand your relationship with fashion. This allows us to recommend clothing, styles and accessories that match your taste and personality. If you are passionate about fashion, we will guide you towards trendy pieces and creative combinations. If you prefer simplicity and practicality, we will help you create a minimalist and effective style.

Ultimately, the goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in what you wear. Fashion should not be restrictive or imposed. It should be an expression of your individuality, your lifestyle and your personality.

During our image consulting sessions, we will discuss your relationship with fashion in depth. We will take into account your likes and dislikes, and we will help you develop a style that really suits you. Because we believe that fashion is much more than just a choice of clothing, it is a form of self-expression.

In conclusion, your relationship with fashion is a central element in highlighting who you are. We work with you to define a style that suits you, whatever your preferences. In the next chapter, we will discuss the importance of defining session goals with the client before beginning, as each person has unique image and style aspirations.

5: The objectives of the session: why is it important to define them with the client before starting?

When considering an image consulting session, it is essential to clearly define the goals you want to achieve. Every client is different, with unique expectations and aspirations when it comes to personal image.

The session objectives serve as a guide for the image consulting process. They determine the direction the session will take and the areas we will focus on to help you achieve your specific goals. It is important to note that goals vary from person to person because everyone has unique needs.

For example, some clients may want to be more in tune with current trends and seek to update their style. In this case, the emphasis will be placed on the relationship with fashion, the creation of a contemporary style and the selection of clothing at the forefront of the latest trends.

Other clients may have the goal of enhancing their body shape and figure. In this case, we will look more at the colorimetry, the shape of the clothes and the cuts that flatter their specific body shape.

By discussing your goals, we can personalize the image consulting session to meet your specific needs. Each session is therefore unique and adapted to the client. We view your vision as the starting point of our collaboration, and we work together to make it a reality.

In summary, defining the objectives of the session with the client before starting is an essential step in the image consulting process. This allows us to personalize our approach to meet your specific needs and help you achieve your image and style aspirations. In the next chapter, we'll recap the importance of all the elements we've explored so far in showcasing a person in an authentic and lasting way.

In this article, we explored in detail the difference between makeover and image consulting, the importance of lifestyle, the relationship with your body, the relationship with fashion, and the objectives of the session in the process of value of a person. Each of these elements is crucial to a holistic approach to image consulting, which aims to reveal your true style and help you feel beautiful, confident and authentic.
