Why choose a Seek personal stylist?
There are plenty of companies offering "personal styling" and "shopping tours," so why choose Seek? We believe that our low-pressure approach, affordable rates, professional stylists, and licensed New York City Sightseeing Guides all set us apart from the crowd:
Credibility
These days it is far too easy for anyone with a penchant for shopping to put up a website and call themselves a stylist, regardless of their professional experience (or lack thereof). At Seek, you'll receive one-on-one attention from a working member of the entertainment and/or fashion community. Our affiliate stylists have dressed everyone from extras and understudies to TV stars and musicians, as well as private styling clients. (Where else will you be able to spend the day getting style advice from someone who usually shops for celebs?) In addition, all of our New York shopping tours are led by a licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide who also has an extensive background in shopping and styling.

Flexibility
We’re here to make you look great, not to drain your wallet or waste your time. Unlike agencies who set a flat fee for their services, Seek charges shopping and styling clients by the hour. (Minimum time commitment applies.) An initial consultation and style questionnaire will allow us to estimate how much time is needed, but you decide how long your session should last. Do you want to take breaks or power through the day? Make snap decisions or analyze every detail? At Seek, the choice is entirely up to you.

Relatability
We pride ourselves on offering the same level of professionalism as other personal shoppers and stylists, but without the "fashionista" attitude that sometimes comes along with it. (For starters, your stylist is much more likely to wear sneakers than stilettos!) We won’t name-drop famous designers or chide you for not knowing what a dolman sleeve is (though we’re happy to tell you if you want to know!) We’ll offer constructive criticism, but we won’t mock your choices. At Seek New York LLC, we strive to make your shopping experience as comfortable and as laid-back as possible.

Affordability
Just because you’re not a zillionaire doesn’t mean that you don’t have lots of reasons to look your best. Everybody has weddings to attend, parties to throw, gifts to buy, girls to impress. Whether you’re looking to spend thousands of dollars or just a couple hundred, Seek New York LLC believes that everyone deserves great style. We offer a significant discount for job-seekers with proof of current unemployment claim, and also offer discounts for actors and other members of the entertainment community.

Honesty
Sure, you can find personal shoppers who offer their services for free at big department stores or retail chains. Keep in mind, though, that store-provided shoppers often start out as sales associates, and don’t necessarily have a fashion/costume design degree or professional styling experience. Also, since many of these personal shoppers work on commission, there is always the possibility that they’ll pressure you into purchasing something that you’re on the fence about, just to make a sale. At Seek New York LLC we have your best interest at heart. We offer advice and honest opinions, but the decisions are ultimately up to you. Come away with bags of new clothes, or choose to spend the time simply learning about stores and styles that work for you.
