"Our trainer is extremely professional & friendly at the same time. She is always answering questions to the point and makes sure that we understand the contents. The course was an eye-opener. The most valuable thing was how image is important and how personal style and good image can make your life better.
The Course was very much mind opening and really opens up to a whole world of opportunities and was really helpful already for myself and I am sure for potential clients too"

The Appearance Specialist APP

Imagine finding your client’s body shape with the touch of a button. The guessing game of body shapes has finally been evicted. The ongoing search by image consultants to give a client good advice and product to take home during a consulation has been fulfilled. The APPearance specialist app, conveniently installed on your mobile device, was designed to simplify the consultation between a stylist and the client.

At the tap of a screen and a swipe of the finger, consultants can enter their clients’ details for a style and colour consultation in the palm of their hand, eg. Find My Figure, Find My Face, Find My Fashion, Show My Shape, Show My Segments, Create My Colour etc.
