Some great places to start styling too are places like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Sax 5th, Dillard’s, and Macy’s that put you in the position to styling people. I work at Dillard’s it’s definitely a good place to start cause now I’ve built over 3 years a client base over 500 people
This was a GREAT video, I took so many notes but it also assured me that I can do what I've always dreamed of. Sometimes we get caught in our mind and thoughts that we overthink the process. Im learning now to Just Do It!!! all it takes is a start and each time you do it after that you get better and perfect your craft. As an aspiring stylist, Thank You for this video.
Exactly we all get in our own way sometimes. I do it too that’s why it’s so good to have like minded people who you can lean on and push you through those moments 🤍✨we got this!!
I'm SOOOO happy I found you, styling has been something I've dreamed of pursuing for years and kept stopping due to imposter syndrome but I recently experienced my first fashion show which reignited my passion and your video really soothed my anxious mind. I'm about to binge your videos and just soak up as much as I can. Thank you thank you thank you 💖
Hey Bri! I think my biggest struggle right now is the sacrifice part. I’m 22 and have a full time corporate job, I have an interview on Monday to be a Fashion Stylist and I want to just take it and leave this place for good. But at the same time, I have bills and this position is only part time…I still live with my parents so I feel like it’s the perfect time to take this leap of faith. I’ve been self sabotaging and putting off leaving because I’m scared of what will happen. I really want to put my all into this and just see what happens. This video helped a lot thanks for being so transparent with your advice!
Hi Jhordyn!! Thank you so much for your message 🥰. Now... I would NEVER tell you to quit your job, especially if you have responsibilities to take care of but what I will say is since you are home, map out all of your bills to see if the amount you bring in from your part time will cover your expenses. If this is not a retail styling position then you will have flexible hours. The blessing is you have everything you need right now. You have your family, a job, your creativity and passion to styling and this styling opportunities PLUS you are not financially stressed. See how the interview goes (I know you'll kill it), map out your expenses (watch my latest video on budgeting) and keep building your portfolio, the right opportunity will be waiting for you. I managed a full time job at a point in my career while styling. So right now gain as much experience you can. Master your skills and keep pushing!!
@@briwisestyle I haven’t done that in a while so great idea😅. Sometimes I just feel like I need go big or go home but that’s not always called for I guess. I’ve had to be more realistic lately when it comes to this…but I really just want to to styling full time and take a risk. Thanks for all the encouragement and I’ll keep you posted about the job!!
This was a great presentation. Thanks for making it. At least I have some sense of direction now. I'm a Architect who has always love fashion and definitely know how to put a portfolio and mood board together. My logo and theme states, to "Dress for Success". I am also moving back to Italy next summer, to Milan, which as you know is the fashion capital of the world. So I will definitely start with with building that brand. Thanks again
thanks so much for this!!! Could you possibly do a "what's in my kit bag" for beginner stylists to figure out what tools they need and what to bring to shoots. Thanks so much !!!
Starting from scratch can be scary! I get it. I’ve started, let go of and started again. What’s the 1 thing that keeps you coming back to your love of style?
Incredibly helpful! I’ve always been anted to work in this industry and been stuck in the hair side of things for past 5 years but it’s time to really step out & do what I DREAM TO do! This has been the most impactful helpful tips❤ thank you times a million you inspired me so much
I’m so glad you found me 🥰. No matter where you are, you can help people from the inside out through style. Whether it be in person or virtually this is a people business. People and relationships are what makes the world go around and why there is an opportunity no matter where you are ❤️
Your advice has been of great help to me because I'd been looking for a way to start and I couldnt get organised. Now I'm creating my brand identity and portfolio, but i really wanted to talk to you one on one because I need to know your journy and how all of this has been for you as a black woman in soceity. It would be wonderful to talk to you.
What if you don't want to work with celebrities, but with normal every day people? Those that are coming in and need help finding an outfit for an event, etc. You don't need to do a fashion show and you don't need makeup artists. You just want to help that person find an outfit for their event or occasion, whether it be a girls night out or a black tie wedding. That is my goal. I want to work somewhere, where a customer will walk in and ask me for help finding an outfit for the event. I would also recommend shoes, jewelry, and how to style their hair. My clientele would be solely women, from young adults and up.
If you are saying you want people to “walk in and ask you for help” this would be a retail stylist. Many brands and department stores list this position as this “Retail Stylist”. If you are wanting to build your own personal styling business, that would incorporate you building your portfolio and brand.. then outreach and marketing your services! Hope this helps✨ the channel has a tun of videos to help you do this or you can check out the Stylist Started Kit!
Great video 👏 ! Thank you for the clear and concise advice. I do have a question about the process of creating a photoshoot. What’s the best way to plan one out where your working with models ?
Depending on the job and the client depends on how the clothes will be sourced. You will need to either purchase, pull clothing from a brands PR, use studio services, thrift or build relationships with up and coming brands as a new stylist.
@@briwisestyle you mentioned them when you were talking about online shopping stores we can recommend to client and also get paid on, I think one of them you mentioned is Asos
Hi! I hope you see this, I just want ask if I have to have any diploma or degree to pursue? I want to know if you attend specific college or university for fashion to make it into this field. Thank you.
@@goldenmawar5589 thank you for your message! No you don’t have to go to college or a university to become a stylist however I recommend a course, program or internship/mentorship. As for college I would recommend majoring in business or marketing.
I know what my niche is, but I'm a first year millennial.... I'm the epitome of cr*p when it comes to figuring out how create UA-cam videos or other content. Social media is literally the only thing that stops me from progressing. I always wonder how everyone on UA-cam figured out how to start making and editing videos right from the start of their channels. Any advice for this?
@@jennifers7555 yes!! I would recommend starting to film on your phone and use the app CapCut to edit. It’s really simple. Just edit out the parts of your video that you don’t want and it will create a seamless video for you 🙏🏾✨
@briwisestyle These UA-camrs videos look like they were made by pros! I assume they use lighting and microphones, but then all the visual animations that some have like a side video popping up onto the screen next to them talking, or even what looks like a cutout of themselves popping up on the screen with cutout articles of clothing dressing them. Where is everyone learning how to do these things?? And thank you so much for replying!
@@elharrop no you don’t have to buy clothes, you can borrow from friends family or when selecting models, send them a moodboard with items they should bring. Thrifting is another great way. Reaching out to local boutiques for marketing purposes as well. However, if you have a specific item or look you are wanting def purchase!

Great video 👏 ! Thank you for the clear and concise advice. I do have a question about the process of creating a photoshoot. What’s the best way to plan one out where your working with models ?
Good one!! When you say working with models do you mean how to contact them? How to schedule a day to shoot? How to do a fitting etc?
@@briwisestyle Exactly lol… yes all those questions . Basically the step by step process you’d suggest
@@michaelabrown5407 lol ok!! You know I got you 😉
As a stylist do you need to source pieces for your client?
Depending on the job and the client depends on how the clothes will be sourced. You will need to either purchase, pull clothing from a brands PR, use studio services, thrift or build relationships with up and coming brands as a new stylist.
thank u big sis
Are there website or free platform to use to build my pro-folio especially if I don’t have funding to buy website and maintain domain yet?
Please can you also recap the shopping link recommendations you mentioned here, I will like to apply
You can list your work on Kavyar.com. You can also use social platforms including UA-cam, Instagram and TikTok for free.
Please let me know which shopping links you are referring to?
