Take control of your time
One of the best parts of being a virtual personal stylist is the flexible schedule.
1-on-1 virtual styling sessions usually run about 30 minutes, depending on your and your client's needs. You can work with several clients per day and still have plenty of free time.
The best part? You will have more time to build better relationships with your clients. Without long hours traveling and getting ready, you can spend extra time getting to know your clients and creating a truly bespoke service.
With a virtual calendar, you can control when clients book appointments. This lets you block out time for family, friends, and "me" time!
