If you’ve been researching the right training academy for your personal styling journey, you may have looked for Style ME Training on social media—and found nothing. That might seem odd, especially given the quality of my website and testimonials. But let me assure you, success as a personal stylist doesn’t depend on social media.
Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have revived interest in Colour Analysis, with transformation reels captivating audiences. However, I always tell my delegates: no social media is better than bad social media.
Many assume a large following equates to financial success, but that’s not always true. Many stylists with big followings simply showcase themselves rather than client transformations. A thriving personal styling business isn’t about personal fashion—it’s about helping others find their style.
Rather than rushing to build an online presence, focus on adding value to your target audience. Valuable content comes from real client experience, not hastily curated posts to keep up with algorithms. Social media requires consistency, which can become stressful if you don’t genuinely enjoy it. Instead, I would advise you to perfect your craft and work with real clients.
While being the face of your business is essential, potential clients need to see you can dress anyone—not just yourself. If social media isn’t for you, then consider alternatives like maintaining a blog or Facebook page to showcase your expertise through writing, just don’t let the fear of social media stop you from becoming a personal stylist.
If you choose not to leverage social media, word of mouth will most definitely be your most powerful marketing tool. But to rely on referrals, you must be exceptional at what you do. The better your skills, the more clients will recommend you.
Once you master styling, you won’t have time to worry about social media—you’ll be working with clients, receiving referrals, and earning a fantastic income! If you want to be an influencer, go for it, but if you’re looking for a stable, high-earning career, I strongly encourage you to learn my scientific styling formula. This provides the skills and blueprint to style anyone and build a successful business.
Rather than stressing over social media, let trending topics like Colour Analysis, wardrobe styling, and personal shopping work in your favour. Let influencers generate buzz while you focus on becoming the go-to stylist recommended for your expertise. In the end, excellence and word of mouth will build your success far more effectively than any Instagram post ever could, and I’m speaking from personal experience!
