Color
Many people underestimate the power of color!
However, color is more than you think. Color is a powerful tool that has enormous psychological and physiological impact. Color is the first thing people will notice about a person's appearance.
Some colors complement you, others don’t. Your most flattering colors accentuate your best facial features. They smooth and clarify your natural complexion, bring out your natural beauty and give your face a healthy glow. The right colors enhance, balance and harmonize the natural coloring of your skin, eyes and hair. Wearing complementary colors will make you look younger, healthier and more vibrant. Inappropriate colors will detract from your natural complexion and leave you looking pale, drained and dull. The wrong colors will age you and make you look unhealthy.
ICS - Image Consulting Services LLC will navigate you through the overwhelming world of colors. We will determine the tones and shades that best complement you. Your personalized color concept will be created by using the “9-scale typology” and you will receive a customized color reference catalogue detailing your most flattering colors.
Identifying your optimum color palette for clothing, make-up, hair and accessories brings lots of benefits. The proper colors will create a tailored style base that will free you of ever-changing fashion trends. More importantly, you will save time and money. ICS will teach you how to use color more effectively to project a powerful first impression.
Wardrobe & Closet Management
Managing your wardrobe and closet is essential in developing a wardrobe that suits your lifestyle and new image.
You wear only a portion of your clothes. That means most of your wardrobe is taken up with unworn, unwanted or unsuitable items. You might feel overwhelmed by having so many clothes and nothing to wear! Additionally, you probably have countless variations of new outfits in your closet and don’t even know. Or you may know what you have, but do not know how to present the same.

Hairstyle
Your hair always makes a statement about you. A hairstyle can make or break your overall look. If your hair - or lack thereof - looks great, you generally do too.
Contemporary hairstyles and color-treatments are more intricate than ever. Trying to tell some hairdresser what you want can be intimidating and frustrating. You might end up spending a fortune only to leave with something that you never intended and probably can't correct! To select an appropriate hairstyle and color, the hairstylist must view you as a whole person.

Body Language
Your body language is a crucial factor in making a powerful impression. The way you walk, shake hands, look into someone’s eyes or smile all indicate your confidence and credibility.
Various research studies have found that information is delivered through words (7%), voice (38%) and body language (55%). Accordingly, words are mainly used to transmit information. Body language, however, is responsible for cultivating interpersonal relationships because it tells people who you are, your background and even what level of education you have achieved.
Body language reflects your emotional condition. Understanding what your non-verbal signals divulge to the world is vital. Creating habits of positive body language, facial expression, gestures and other non-verbal signals enables you to control how others perceive and, more importantly, respond to you. By decoding the dynamics of body language, you can interpret the feelings and intentions of others.
ICS - Image Consulting Services LLC will guide you to congruency between your body and verbal language. This will ensure that your body language confirms your spoken words. We take care that you learn how to express yourself in a consistent communication style that builds meaningful relationships, both personal and professional.
Through a better understanding of effective communication with others and what your body language is really saying, you will be in a position to reduce barriers by anticipating and minimizing potential conflict. Ultimately, by understanding your body language, you will master the art of instant rapport, and as such, achieve even more respect and recognition in your life.
Rhetoric
Whether you are having a conversation with an acquaintance, making a sales pitch, giving a speech to an audience or just engaged in some small talk; having a consistent communication style is an integral step in becoming an eloquent dialog partner. Understanding and using effective rhetoric techniques will help you feel confident conversing in any situation and lower barriers to building meaningful relationships throughout your life.
Communication is not just words. The quality of your verbal communication significantly affects your personal and professional success. It’s less about what you say than how you say it. Clarity of pronunciation, pitch and pace are all essential to presenting yourself with an outstanding and memorable image when speaking to others in a group or individually.
The way you verbally communicate sends information to others about you, your attitude and intentions. The words you choose and how you present them can work for or against you, especially when you are trying to sell something: be it an idea, a product or even yourself.
At ICS - Image Consulting Services LLC, you will discover how to optimize your verbal presence and articulate your ideas the right way. We teach you how to actively listen and master the dynamics of interpersonal communication. You will master how to create a noticeable congruence between your vocabulary, diction and body language.

Our team helps you identify your best communication style. As such you will become familiar with successful conversation techniques and increase your ability to communicate much more effectively.
Etiquette
Etiquette is the outer expression of a dignified and cultured worldview. It plays a vital role in projecting an impeccable image. In today's fast-paced global society, proper manners are essential to ensure personal and professional success. Everyone needs to practice common courtesy, politeness and decorum, regardless of age, gender or profession. It is simple: when you treat others with dignity and respect, they will treat you in the same fashion.
Successful relationships, personal or professional, are developed, strengthened and maintained with appropriate behavior. Understanding the rules of etiquette can put you at ease in the most unfamiliar settings and empowers you to focus your energy on other aspects of life. Ladies and gentleman who master the art of etiquette have command of one of the most crucial elements required to project a powerful image.

Style & Image
People make major assumptions about others within seconds of meeting them based on how they dress and look. Your outward appearance is one of the most essential components of your image.
An appealing and powerful image highly affects success in your career as well as your personal life. Additionally, a positive image will open doors that might otherwise remain closed. Conversely, projecting an inappropriate image can make you stand out for all the wrong reasons and expose you to the kind of attention you would much rather avoid.
However, image is not only how you look. It is also how you feel about yourself. An attractive and memorable image greatly depends on self-acceptance, self-esteem and self-confidence. Projecting a comprehensive and powerful image requires interplay between inner attitude and outer appearance. What people see on the outside reflects what is going on inside. Your image must be authentic and as such suit your individual personality as well as your lifestyle. To develop an outstanding appearance, it is crucial to pull together all the facets of your personality and lifestyle.
The unique concept of ICS – Image Consulting Services LLC offers a holistic approach to image consulting services. Since image is multi-dimensional, we believe in integrating all the various aspects of personhood.

We also will discuss and review wellness treatments, stress management and cosmetic procedures.
Only this process ensures the creation of an authentic, harmonious, refined and distinctive overall image. As a result, your new image will perfectly suit your personality and lifestyle. You will create powerful, intriguing and attractive first impressions. Moreover, you will feel confident and amazing about yourself!
Fashion
Understanding what looks good on ourselves is a major issue for most people. Fashion should be fun, because the clothes you wear say a lot about who you are and how you treat yourself. But what might be a fashion “do” for one person may be a “don’t” for another. That’s why so many clothing purchases turn out to be mistakes. We all have purchased items that we have worn only once or twice or worse: some of the items still have the price tags on them.
Everyone has issues with his or her body. However, bone and body structure does not change whether we put on weight or lose it. When you begin to understand your unique bone and body structure, you will be able to identify and minimize your genetic flaws.
ICS - Image Consulting Services LLC will teach you how to play down your problem areas by maximizing your strengths. We will accomplish this by finding clothes that showcase your body shape and facial features as well as creating your most appealing silhouette. The correct wardrobe does not only let you achieve high style, in spite of figure flaws, but it will make you feel sexy and self-confident. No matter what size or body shape you are, there's a style that will enhance your image, uniqueness and special attractiveness. ICS will get you the right fit, thereby making you feel better and look wonderful.
At ICS we will create the foundation for a stylish and versatile wardrobe, so you will never again have clothes in your closet that you don’t wear or featuring the same outfits over and over again. We will bring together a unified look that is naturally you because it reflects your personality and is in harmony with your lifestyle. Most importantly, you will learn how to choose clothes and accessories that will make you look outstanding and feel fantastic.
With knowledge of the “9-scale typology” and an understanding of the principles of choosing and coordinating the most flattering styles, colors, cuts, fits, fabrics, patterns and accessories, you will have the confidence to boldly choose which fashion rules work best for you and disregard those that don’t. Shopping will become a new, fun and purposeful experience, and you will end up spending less time and money.
Whether you are going for a trendy or a more relaxed style, creating a stylish wardrobe doesn’t have to be a huge expense or mean that you must have a ton of clothes in your closet. Sometimes all it takes is the addition of a few essential items to maximize your current wardrobe. ICS will show you how to make the most of your wardrobe to achieve different looks either by mixing and matching what you have or creating a completely new look with a few key accessories.
Updates
Dramatic personal transformations do not happen overnight. Therefore, patience with yourself and the image consulting process is required.
Even if you have used one or some of the services of an image consultant before, it is important that your image gets an annual update. You might perhaps need to project a different style due to changes in your attitude or lifestyle.
ICS - Image Consulting Services LLC will review your current image and then compare and contrast it with new goals and ambitions. From our periodic evaluations of your previous image consultations we will ensure that you maintain your current image, refine it further or change it all together.
