Polished Image Consulting assists individuals and businesses with presenting their best selves to succeed in their professional and personal lives. We offer both personal and corporate consulting on a one-on-one meeting or in a corporate speaking arrangement.
We invited Polished Image Consulting into our spa/salon to share their dress and professional image skills with our staff. Firstly, the enthusiasm of Wendy and Marina was wonderful! The ladies came in so prepared - they started on time, finished on time and were so excited to share their knowledge. That all came through so clearly and professionally. Secondly,the areas we choose to touch on: "First Impression", "Body Language", and "Dressing Up Jeans for Work", were brought to the attention of our staff in a fun and sharing environment. These areas were communicated clearly with great personal examples as well as clothing samples for fabulous visual aids. Then best of all, our staff has embraced it! It’s important to discuss these areas of working within a professional environment, but your staff may be more open to the ideas if they are coming from someone on the outside, and not always the managers. We look forward to having Wendy and Marina back again!

"For many years, Marina has assisted me with hair & fashion advice. She instinctively knows what is right for me yet keeps me centered and focused on how to maximize my appearance from head to toe for the best effect professionally & personally. What's greatest of all is her unerring ability to transition from business to uber-casual applications without blinking an eye! Even my late-teens to twenties children are thrilled at what she accomplished regularly for them. She knows what's right for men & women of all ages. She's a super-dependable hair, makeup and fashion resource that everyone who cares about how they appear to others should have access to!
I highly recommend Marina to anyone looking to update their appearance, their wardrobe or their hair & makeup. If you need a fashion "pick-me-up", Marina is the one to call!"

"I was in a style rut: same unflattering, 'comfortable' wardrobe for more than 20 years! Wendy helped me to transform my wardrobe into a figure-flattering and fashionable one. She is patient and fun to shop with. It is amazing how good she is at identifying what will look good on me and what styles I need to stay away from. It feels great to enter a room knowing that I look fantastic - and I feel gorgeous, too."

To keep in sync with the growth of my business, I felt I needed an updated look that would be both professional and realistic given the physical nature of my graphic facilitation and coaching work.
I engaged Wendy Cooper as an image consultant to help me with this and let me tell you, Wendy nailed it.
My experience with her was amazing. It became quickly obvious that image consulting to Wendy is so much more than just updating one's wardrobe. It's about helping you find out who YOU are, now, how you see yourself, and the you you're becoming. Her exceptional communication skills help her to draw out both the big picture of who you are, and helps her (and you) to understand your real needs and wishes.
This becomes "the mission", which then teams up with her unique talent to treasure shop and find just the right "solutions" Wendy's ability to put people at ease and focus on the finding the perfect solution, quickly eliminates any body image reservations people may have. It was a treat to have all the exhausting hunting and size selection done and have clothes brought to you to try on that reflect your needs and what looks flattering on your body type.
Wendy's "mission" approach made it so much fun. Her energy and enthusiasm for this work was highly contagious. The mission was more than accomplished. I left the experience feeling so good about myself, knowing who I am, and with a look that reflects that knowing and what I love to do.
Carpe Diem!
