Testimonials Since I've done your course clothes shopping has been incredibly easy plus I'm picking up good pieces in charity shops - latest a Coast white linen jacket for £5. I honestly wish I'd done it years ago...you also have a very good eye for colour and (that) your classes are relaxed and fun. Sarah, Burgess Hill Thank you so so much for Saturday, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to come back again for the next session. We shopped for a few hours on Saturday afternoon and I have to say it’s like shopping with the light now on! Nicola, Horley ...you have such a gorgeous way with people, putting them at ease straight away...I now shop, colour and co-ordinate and have much more fun with my wardrobe all thanks to you!” Sonja, Hurstpierpoint ...you’ve given me confidence that hasn’t been there for years...everyone needs to come and see you...you are amazing! Tricia, Sussex After meeting you yesterday I feel more inspired to shop than I have in years! While I guess my bank manager won't thank you I do! You've given me a whole lease of new ideas that work with what I like without seeming dowdy or dull. You really are a bright shiny star. Carol, Lancing I have been wearing some jeans today that I purchased after my image analysis session with you and because I followed your advice they are so comfy, look flattering and even fit a bit better around the waist! A complete first for me! Thanks Helen, you're a star! Cheryl, Partridge Green I was absolutely delighted with my first experience of a style consultant and colour analysis. Helen was great fun and very professional in her approach. She explained all the rules very clearly as well as lots of extra tips and advice. On the first day back at Third Door after the consultation, I dressed according to the rules and both staff and members noticed and commented positively on my style! Thanks for giving me this new knowledge - I'll be using it forever. I hugely recommend Helen and Sarah's combined team effort - it really made it a full and fun experience. Thank you! Shazia, London Many thanks for the session, it had a huge impact. I now have the confidence to experiment with my look and choose clothes I never would have dared to before. I'm dressing a million times better now! Elizabeth, Southwater I'm so pleased I came to see you. I'm already feeling more confident about packing for my next trip away and thinking about hitting the sales now I know what I should be looking for, which, for a 'shopperphobe' is quite something! It was also encouraging to have some of my ideas about what suits me confirmed and, thanks to you, I now feel I should celebrate being a 'natural' instead of trying to match up to other people which of course I now know wouldn't be right for me anyway! I like the idea of mixing it up with 'girlie' and 'classic' to create an individual look that works just for me and I'm so glad to know that I can still be 'up-to-date' without looking inappropriate for my age. Angela, Steyning Thank you so much for the colour analysis you did for myself and Alana on Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed it, not only because it was a wonderfully sophisticated and relaxed girlie 2hrs away from kids, but also because it was fascinating and has given me lots of wonderful ideas of how to dress. You made us feel very welcome, the tea & bickies were yum too! Sarah, Bolney Since my session with Helen my confidence has rocketed and I am no longer making the costly mistake of buying things just ‘because they fit’ even when they don’t really suit me. I have never had trouble finding key pieces for my wardrobe that looked good while I was in the shop, but usually I had difficulty matching them with other items to make them into an outfit. I decided to do an ‘image analysis’ session with Helen because I had ended up with a mountain of, sometimes expensive, mismatched ‘wardrobe orphans’. Helen taught me how to put clothes together which flatter my shape and work for my lifestyle. She advised me not only on the best shapes and colours for me, but in which shops to track them down and how to alter clothes that I already have to make them work for me. For the first time in my life I have a ‘capsule’ wardrobe where everything works together. Helen is a very welcoming person, not at all judgemental or intimidating. Since she has introduced me to her amazing methodology clothes shopping and dressing has transformed from a chore into an absolute joy. Pip, Partridge Green I would totally recommend Helen's colour party to anyone who wants to spend a really fun evening/afternoon with a group of girlfriends. It was so relaxed and a real giggle but also incredibly useful and great to get some really useful style tips and find out what colours really suit me. I now have the confidence to buy things that I would never have looked at before. My colour swatches are always with me when I go shopping! Great fun and totally worthwhile. I would recommend StyleStep to all. Thank you. Nikki, Lindfield I contacted Helen Reynolds at StyleStep after a personal recommendation. I had commented to one of the mums on the school run how fabulous she had been looking lately and she excitedly told me she had been to Helen for her colour analysis and was now a changed woman! I booked the same thing with a friend of mine, and we were and so impressed with Helen, her knowledge and professionalism that we immediately booked to have our Image Analysis as well. During our Image Analysis Helen spent hours with my friend and I and we never felt rushed. The session was so thorough and we both felt that Helen was really focused on us as individuals, and was determined to give us the right advice - in fact she double checked a few points to make sure she was correct. As someone who has a poor body image, I also found that Helen was completely non judgemental and very positive. A full report was sent to me within days and I am confident that my time with Helen will save me quite a lot of money as I will make wiser purchases in future. I would not hesitate to recommend Helen and StyleStep to anyone, it is well worth it and I now look fabulous too! Annabelle, Cuckfield I have always been a magpie for colour and have traditionally bought my clothes based on the loudest colour in the shop. My colour analysis with Helen has taught me that I can still get away with choosing fantastic and exciting colours, but now I know they will suit me and flatter my skin tone, eye and hair colour. It is a relief to know that I can still express my personality through colour, but now I know that everything I buy will compliment me rather than swamp me. I can't wait to continue my transformation into style icon with my image analysis. Thank you Helen, my eyes have been opened. Helen, Henfield I consulted Helen for some help as I’d been struggling to find a style that suited me and my work. Along with have my colours done (having had them done in the past this was a revelation as I’m not “cool” but “warm” which explains a lot!) Helen took me through a process which considered my feelings towards clothes as well as what would suit me. She was thoughtful and knowledgeable about styles and shapes and gave advice as to what shops would suit my preferences too. The follow up report was also really helpful and something I will keep close to hand as I go shopping. As a result I have more confidence in my style choices and have jettisoned some of the guilt purchases I kept trying to wear. Life is so much simpler and I waste less time if I need to go shopping. Some of my clients are in the fashion industry and I often felt dowdy. Helen showed me how to make the most of myself and I now feel that I can present myself ( by default my work) to its best. Also as the mother of young children it was a real treat being able to spend time focusing on myself – better than a spa treatment as the effects last forever! Maria, Brighton What a pleasure it was to go shopping the other day with "my" colours in mind. Also saved me so much TIME. Thank you Helen. Deborah, Henfield Helen at StyleStep took me shopping with a brief to find me an evening dress for a ball I had been invited too. Having done her research accurately and after looking in a few shops, Helen found the perfect dress from Coast. The colour and style were fantastic and matched my colouring and figure perfectly. We continued to shop for her allotted time during which we found a couple of tops that I would never have picked out by myself, but again were perfect for me. I wish Helen could come shopping with me every day! Clare, Kingston We went away and spent Sunday in every possible shop in Camberley, and then yesterday we spent a few hours in a huge M&S somewhere near Camberley. We had such a great time and it was surprising how confident we were with :- “no that’s not the right shape” “no that's not the right length” “try that on as it ‘ticks the boxes’” “that’s your colour” “you must Try it!” We were hilarious! We both came home with several bags and big smiles! Thanks Helen – it has sunk in! Alison Visiting Helen has given me a new found confidence in my body. I now feel as though I want to try out new styles knowing that they are right for me. The initial outlay might seem expensive but when I add up the mistakes in my wardrobe it is infact a very good investment! Rachel, Partridge Green Many thanks for the session, it had a huge impact. I now have the confidence to experiment with my look and choose clothes I never would have dared to before. I'm dressing a million times better now! Elizabeth, Southwater I went to see Helen for a "colour and image analysis" after her passionate presentation at the launch of StyleStep. Wow! Now I have be curves, when all the time I was a straight lines kind of woman. All my disasterous clothing decisions now make sense and I can give them all away with a clear conscience, safe in the knowledge that they will never look good on me. Thank you thank you thank you for showing me that if I keep to a few simple rules I will look my best. There-by giving me the confidence to put them into practise whilst accepting that a few rule breakers will slip in now and again and look bad, because the clothes are the wrong shape, not me!! Camilla, Shermanbury Having my colours and image analysed by Helen at StyleStep has completely changed how I think about my wardrobe. Now I know the colours and styles that suit me, I have the confidence to put flattering outfits together both from clothes in my current wardrobe, and when I'm out looking for new pieces in the shops. I no longer panic and stress about what to wear in the mornings, throwing clothes in piles behind me. I really enjoy choosing which outfit I'm going to wear and clothes and make-up have become interesting and fun. Having my wardrobe assessed by Helen has been a total revelation! I have happily parted with some pieces, which I now know, haven't been flattering me at all, and at the same time Helen has shown me how to put some fantastic outfits together using, in many cases, clothes that I haven't worn in years. I've found I've got a great new wardrobe without spending huge amounts on new clothes! Fantastic - every girls dream!! Thank you StyleStep! Jo, Ansty My whole attitude to what I wear and how I look has changed since my recent body shape and colour consultation.! I now realize that despite my age (62 years) and my body shape (that of a very middle aged lady) I do not need to look dowdy. Wearing clothes that suit my body shape and colours that flatter my skin tone and a new way of applying my make up makes me feel confident and attractive. I no longer buy on impulse and am having fun mixing and matching what I already have in my wardrobe. I now take much more care with my appearance and I can't wait to book a wardrobe weed and a personal shop. Thank you Helen. Judith, Kent I had a fantastic time discovering the colours that suited me and understanding more about how I should wear colour. Not only did I really enjoy it and learn so much but I've since had loads of compliments from people saying I look great in the colours advised. The makeup colours and techniques I was shown have made a massive difference and people have been really complimentary about that too! Massive thanks, I'll definitely be back for my style makeover!
