“Nicola, I wanted to report back and tell you how much I appreciated my time with you on 13 January.

Since seeing you, I have made lots of simple changes. The easiest one was getting back into the habit of wearing makeup most days, and I am confident again in my technique. I have been surprised that I have gladly worn lipstick daily too – and your advice on using a lip pencil made a huge difference. I have rediscovered the joy of browsing makeup counters, which has given me great pleasure. Cleansing and moisturising has become part of my daily routine, and I believe I look better for it.
In clothing terms, I have embraced your advice, particularly in wearing scarves. This has delighted and startled my husband, too, who – so far – has bought me a Georg Jensen silver scarf brooch and a Liberty silk scarf – and he has been stunned to learn that I had so many scarves lurking, unworn, in my wardrobe. I have invested in more tights, and am wearing dresses far more than before. People have noticed that I look good and have asked what I have been doing – the changes there are the subtle sort where you can see a difference but aren’t sure what it is.
Those were the simple changes. I was also inspired by your mood boards and am in the midway stages of losing my fringe to move to Helen Mirren’s hair style. I look in the mirror now and I like what I see. My hairdresser is thrilled after dealing with the same bob for the last twenty years. I have redone my highlights too.
And lastly in a completely unanticipated change, I saw my optician and am now on my fifth day of wearing contact lenses. I am thrilled by this, and have instantly lost any squeamishness about touching my eyes. I feel great for removing the barrier of glasses from my face (and oh wow, the joy of being able to see my eyes when applying eye makeup!).
I feel incredible. I feel so much more confident, more empowered and much happier. This is of course from within – I had to be ready – but your advice winkled this out of me and gave me the gentle push I needed. I am incredibly grateful to you. 
I was going to try to write this in a card for you but I hardly ever write things these days and I doubt my handwriting would be clear! But hopefully it won’t matter how I say it – the message is that you have gently but effectively moved me into a direction that makes me very happy, and thank you!”

“I really enjoyed our session together and can see exactly why you are an award winning consultant!

For the first time (and this was my third experience with a consultant) I came away feeling confident, empowered and happy.

I rushed headlong into a very busy long weekend with family and friends so haven’t had much headspace to digest everything you said, but the “feeling” and confidence you have given me will certainly help moving forwards.

Hopefully I will turn into a more conscious shopper, reduce waste and be able to slim-down my wardrobe.

Thank you too for putting together a list of petite clothing ranges I can explore”

“Thanks very much for the colour consultation. I found you very welcoming and really appreciated the time you took to explain the parts of the tonal analysis system as I feel this has helped me to really understand why certain colours work better for me and how they work together. Armed with my new knowledge I am excited to create my new wardrobe!”

” I wanted to say the hugest THANK YOU! I really enjoyed the make-over morning and cannot believe it has taken me so long to do this. You would not believe the number of complimentary comments I have received from friends and family. None of them knew that I had been to visit you, they were completely unsolicited comments on how the colours I was wearing really suited me and that I looked fabulous. This has undoubtedly boosted my confidence and I feel has opened a whole new chapter for me. I too am enjoying experimenting with my make-up and look forward to developing styles further.

I cannot thank you enough and I hope you don’t mind that I have recommended you to a number of my friends.”

“Huge thank you to Nicola for two really wonderful, ‘girlie’ days out with my daughters. We all had a colour session about a month ago and this was followed just recently by a style day for me (which my daughters attended too). Although we all thought we ‘knew’ what we would be classified as colour-wise, it was a real surprise as we were totally wrong with my daughters (& yet, it does seem obvious now)! Nicola is an outstanding colour and style consultant, and I’ve been to a few, having first discovered ‘colour’ when CMB came to the UK over 30 years ago! She is down to earth, positive, and has renewed my confidence in clothes & what suits me still… Her way of dealing with one makes you understand what looks right, rather than what you’ve been getting wrong. We all had a fabulous time. I look forward to attending one of her workshops, & highly recommend Nicola.”

“I opted for the My Perfect Warbrobe service and Nicola opened my eyes to outfit combinations I had never thought of with the clothes and accessories I had, which is fabulous as I don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe and it has made me look at pieces in a different light. Nicola recommended some items to add to my wardrobe to further compliment outfits. This was a fantastic option for me and Nicola did a great job, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her in the future.”

“I just wanted to write and thank you for such an enjoyable start to my week – coming to see you has definitely been one of this year’s highlights! You were amazing – so positive and encouraging and so informative – I’m still processing the sheer wealth of knowledge you shared and am looking forward to it being cool enough to play ‘dress- up’ and try on some different wardrobe/ colour combinations. It was fascinating to learn about different colour combinations and discover some new favourites…
I can not quite believe how comfortable you made me feel about my skin and utter lack of ability when it comes to applying make up but Thank You – I now feel genuinely inspired and empowered. I also received lots of compliments from friends and family who zoomed/ video called on Mon afternoon/ evening to find out how the session went. Needless to say, you got rave reviews!”

“Thank you for all the great personal shopping advice you have given me since my Style Consultation in September. Your online shopping service has saved me time and money and introduced me to styles and brands I would not previously have considered. My wardrobe is now filled with clothes that I enjoy wearing and that complement each other, making it easy to put outfits together. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking to put together a capsule wardrobe or to find an outfit for a specific occasion.”

“I wanted to say how much we all enjoyed your visit to us at Stubbington Belles on Monday. The ladies were spell-bound – I could tell that as they were quiet! The discussions on colour continued even after the meeting had officially closed.”

“Have to let you know how much I adored today. I had an absolutely fantastic session  with you, and it was just so incredibly useful. I have learnt many things from the consultation that I am really looking forward to putting into practice… and most of all, it was great fun! Thank you for all your skill and expertise, I felt in really safe hands.”

“I wanted to thank you for spending the morning with Jo and I. We both found it very helpful, with lots of food for thought and change. You provide a very professional service in a very informal way, which put us both at ease.

I personally will find it so helpful when shopping and it will  stop me making purchases that I will never wear.

Thank you again and we look forward to joining some of your other classes in the future.”

I started off with doing the Capsule Wardrobe Workshop, and that led me to do the Dress Your Best Workshop and update my colour……loved loved loved Nicola and her easy approach! Shopping and getting ready in the morning is so easy now, thank you x

“I just wanted to say thank you very much for the session yesterday. I now feel much more empowered to choose more flattering colours and styles for myself and I loved the make up.  You did such a good job that even my son told me I looked younger and “refreshed”!!!!”

“Just the briefest note to thank you for spending so much time with me this morning. For the first time in a very long time I am looking forward to clothes shopping and it was lovely to have someone take some interest and give sound, considered and knowledgeable advice. “

“I have had three sessions with you, colour analysis, choosing clothes for my shape and accessories and I have found them all really useful. I had been spending a fortune buying clothes because they looked good on others without realising why they didn’t quite work so well for me. It was only after attending your workshops that I have been able to shop with confidence and also save time and money. I always recommend your workshops to friends and also a great idea for anyone trying to think of a gift for a friend.”

“A quick note to say thank you very much for choosing such a fantastic colour for me for my wedding dress and also for introducing me to the wonderful Charlotte Pilavachi of Charlotte’s Bridalwear.

I bought the bluebell silk you found in the James Hare catalogue and some ivory guipure lace for a short bolero-type top, all of which Charlotte is magicking into the most fabulous wedding dress.  We put together the design using that fantastic little book you gave me, showing styles to suit various body types.  All marvellous!

I would have been lost without your considerable skills and expertise which have helped me find the path to a wedding dress of my dreams.  Thank you.”

“I had been looking for some time for a professional personal stylist and image consultant, to enable me to dress correctly for the business environment and raise my personal brand. Having that professional person who could guide me, recommend the right colours for me, what worked, what did not was vitally important as I did not want to waste my valuable time and money on the wrong investment!

I chose Nicola Davis, Personal Stylist & Colour Consultant, after visiting her wonderful website. I chose the complete package, wardrobe de junk, colour session and personal shopping trip with Nicola.

Working with Nicola was a breath of fresh air, her attention to detail, challenging me to think differently and raise the bar. Was invaluable. Especially around sending me websites she thought would offer me more value for my money.

I have had numerous comments from others about how amazing I look, since wearing my new outfits. I would have no hesitation recommending Nicola Davis to others seeking advice and help.

Thanks a million, Nicola.”
