personal stylist vs. Nordstrom

In-store styling services are commonly offered in many department stores, like Nordstrom, but there are some key differences between these free services and an independent personal stylist…

1.

Nordstrom stylists are limited to styling a client with only the products available and sold by Nordstrom. As independent stylists, the A|S Team is able to customize a complete look from any needed retailers, allowing us to pull a variety of styles to curate the best look to fit our clients’ needs.

2.

The fact that Nordstrom stylists are limited to only products sold by the store also limits their flexibility to stay within a certain budget. The A|S Team is Cost-Conscious and are respectful of any budget our clients may have. In fact, one of our favorite style challenges is mixing high end items with lower end items. We pride ourselves in being able to find quality items at affordable price ranges; something that a Nordstrom stylist cannot do to the same extent.

3.

Nordstrom stylists are not able to seamlessly incorporate items that already exist in a client’s closet into the new looks being styled. The A|S Team has a variety of packages that help our clients take the existing items from their closet and style new looks with items that can be purchased. In many cases, we are able to style new looks exclusively out of the pieces in their closet, which saves money as well! In addition - the team is also able to help organize and edit a client’s closet for a full experience; another area Nordstrom stylists fall short of.

These are just a few differences between hiring a Nordstrom stylist and an independent personal stylist, like the A|S Team.
