Our
role as Image consultants is becoming more and more important in our
country as more women enter the corporate world and are finding it
important to be groomed in a way that would be beneficial to the advancement
of their careers, and in a way that will give them the confidence
to deal with the challenges presented to them in highly competitive
and pressured environments.
As colour consultants we present workshops and do private consultations
to teach women the benefits of understanding and wearing their best
colours in both clothing and make up, in order to enhance their natural
beauty and to create a harmony that ensures that they look their best
at all times. This includes teaching them to use colour to enhance
and flatter their features and in so doing to project successful 'colour
images'.
As image consultants we teach women to understand their own personal
style expression, and they learn how to be comfortable with 'who they
are'. After doing an individual figure analysis we teach the ladies
how to accentuate the positive aspects and to minimize the negative
points of their unique figures. They learn to use certain styles wisely
and once again a few colour 'tricks' prove helpful. A woman who knows
that she is 'put together' well is always more confident and we also
include workshops in wardrobe planning and the advantages of using
accessories successfully.
Image Workshops are the ideal way for you to learn the benefits of
understanding your colour harmony, style and figure analysis, and
we have devised a course for small groups which allows for personalised
attention so that you will be confident enough to apply the results
of your analysis.
Hair and Make up by Norine Victor
Magriet's Testimony
"For some time I did not feel good about myself, I blamed it
on stress, being on the wrong side of 40, in need of a holiday! I
thought it would be interesting to attend one of Norine's workshops
-there I learnt that I was wearing the wrong colour clothing, the
wrong colour make up, and even my hair colour was wrong! I was in
need of a drastic change! I decided to take the plunge! I phoned Norine
for the "complete makeover".
She changed my hair colour to suit my skin tone and eyes; the same
went for my make up colours. The result was amazing!! I only realized
then that I couldn't remember when last I had received a compliment.
The compliments started pouring in. The greatest fun was watching
my friends' faces and absolute disbelief!! I feel good about myself
again! I also attended the rest of the workshops - learning about
figure analysis and wardrobe planning.
The best part of all this was that Norine presents these workshops
in a way that you actually learn to see the mistakes you make yourself
and you can determine what is right and wrong. I find myself looking
at others thinking, "if only her belt was thinner, if only the
shoe was black and not brown." This means I understand all of
this and now I can apply it successfully!!"
Whether you have a problem that needs attention or whether you simply
feel like a change, having a makeover requires a professional that
can guide you in creating a great image. A home cut and colour will
never give you the same effect, nor will it solve any problems that
you may have with your particular hair type.
A well-qualified stylist also has knowledge of skin tone analysis
that is of the utmost importance when choosing a new hair shade. A
make up lesson will also give you valuable information ensuring that
you are able to maintain your new look.
Be prepared to be flexible and be open to new ideas from your stylist.
A dream makeover usually requires a cut and colour to enhance your
looks and create a successful image. Make sure you are ready for a
change and contact us for our specialized makeover rates and a private
consultation.
“Because I wear clothes in a classical style, I always get compliments
about my appearance. Little did I realise that the colours that I’m
wearing are totally wrong and that my make-up reveals my age without
me saying a word! My session with Lianne and Norine made me realise
that there is so much (with very little effort!) that I can do to improve
my appearance. I enjoyed every aspect of the session, especially the
fact that no unrealistic expectations were created and that changing
my cupboard will be a pleasant adventure from now on. And I can still
wear my classical style, but in the right colours and with the right
accessories, I can add a more modern look to it. The 1st Solutions service
was very professional and definitely worth the time and money spent.”
Because people are unique they have an approach to colour that is
different to anyone else. This is largely influenced by their natural
colouring and by the undertones of their skin but also by their personality
and preferences. We have a unique method of colour analysis that not
only determines their best colours but also ensures that they understand
the application of them when shopping for clothing or make up.
We also offer you a program directed at career enhancement
and for those seeking to train as image
consultants, we offer a more advanced course that will enable
you to start an image consulting business.
Our combination of Image related topics along with our team building
program, ensure that the delegates leave more positive and motivated
resulting in long term benefits to the company.
