Review
A terrific publication! I've been an Image Consultant for years but learned some new things from your guide. -- Dianne M. Daniels, AICI, Image & Color Services

Product Description
Imagine having an exciting high-paying job showing people and companies how to make a fabulous impression. Welcome to the world of image consulting!

Image consulting is a booming industry thanks in part to the popularity of television shows such as What Not to Wear, Extreme Makeover, and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

As an image consultant, you can give people advice that will help them achieve what they want – whether it is to get a new job, to make a good impression, or simply to feel good about themselves.

The book's contributors include beauty, fashion, and business editors for some of the top magazines in North America. To give you insider advice on how to get started as an image consultant, the authors of this FabJob guide interviewed more than 30 successful image consultants and other experts such as Michael Thurmond of ABC TV's Extreme Makeover.

The information in this book can save you many hours of research, help you avoid some common mistakes, and give you information you need to become an image consultant.

As long as you have the desire, you can become an image consultant. No special education or experience is necessary to break into this career and succeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for aspiring image consultants, April 21, 2005

By	Jennifer Garcia (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

Having read this book, I can tell you it is the best book available on image consulting as a career. It has step-by-step instructions on how to do wardrobe consultations and makeover consultations, and gives advice from industry insiders on how to start a successful image consulting business. The book's contributors and authors are some of the top image consultants in the world. It includes a CD with lots of great samples and forms.

The reviewer who gave it 1 star hasn't read the book. (Click on his name to read the negative reviews he has given to many other how-to books which he admits he hasn't read.)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Guide, September 20, 2005

By	Robin Stephenson (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is well organized, and contains many links and contacts to get you on your feet in the area of image consulting. The personal stories are a plus. The format of the book makes it easy to skip over certain information that may not pertain to your area of interest, while enabling you to pinpoint the material of your primary focus. This book is very comprehensive guide that I would recommend to anyone who has even the slightest interest in a career in image consulting.
