Here are some customer testimonials from happy Shine Personal Development customers.

“Superb transformation”. I’ve never been style conscious and to be honest felt the appearances meant nothing, that substance would always prevail over style. How wrong I was?

Ursuline was able to give me confidence in choosing the right styles, colours and shades. She has contributed to my fantastic transformation from (my usual attire) of blue jeans and black shirts, to a head to toe smart casual look with varying colours. Purple is now my colour of choice – I would never have been brave enough before this. Not just that I have picked up tips on casual and formal wear.

Since my personal style consultation I have seen a very noticeable change in myself and how I’m perceived by others. No longer treated like the office junior and instantly commanding more respect. In turn this has made a huge difference to how I now approach my work, and my personal life.

I may from time to time still think that all this is a little bit shallow. That people have changed they perception of me simply for the clothes that I wear… But I guess this is the world we live in.

Appearances are everything.”

Rob, Retail Assistant, Buckinghamshire

My experience of working with Ursuline was just amazing. My figure had changed and I hadn’t felt happy with my body image for a long time. I didn’t seem to be in control of my body or my weight, Ursuline helped me to see a realistic vision of myself and to accept myself as I am. Her coaching tips taught me to be in control of what, where and when I eat.

She showed me how to dress to make the best of my body. Unusually I wanted to get away from the professional look and learn to dress casually with style. I have spent years wearing suits and professional clothes so when I stopped working I had no idea how to dress. I learned what colours were right for me and now I can walk into a shop and walk straight out again if they don’t have any of my colour. I now look forward to shopping and feel much more confident in how I dress. My family and friends can see a real change in me. 

The make-up I have being wearing for 30 years was far too dark for me, I now have make-up that suits me and doesn’t make me look like Aunt Sally. Ursuline came to my home and helped me to sort out my wardrobe so I now have a capsule wardrobe with half the clothes I used to have but I can mix and match them all with confidence. Thank you Ursuline, it was a great experience and has really boosted my confidence, opened me up to experiment and have fun in how I look and dress. I haven’t lost lots of weight; I don’t think I need to, but I feel slimmer and much happier with myself.

Kitting yourself out for six months on a round the world trip is not an easy task. Add to that the diversity of attending weddings, trekking the mountain passes in New Zealand or looking good on the beach and the result can be a very heavy backpack!! Ursuline helped me build a colour-coordinated capsule wardrobe that will not only reduce the weight on my back, but ensure that I look good for every occasion. Through a personal colour and styling consultation I learnt which styles flatter me personally. I also learnt which colours drain or lift my complexion, with only the slightest shade variation making a big difference. I can now consider colours and styles I would never have looked at before with great results.

"When I embarked on a new career working for myself I realised that the old black or navy suits would no longer cut the mustard as the look was far too harsh and corporate. I scanned my wardrobe, it was either the corporate suit or jeans, fleece and t-shirt. My new business was part of a lifestyle change and I wanted to find and project the real me. Shine Complete Image Enhancement did exactly what it said. It showed me how to use colour and make-up to achieve different looks and how to colour co-ordinate my wardrobe. Like all women I have my figure challenges and shine showed me how to buy clothes that flatter my natural body shape and accessories that can take me from day to evening. Simple, uncomplicated advice that means I now have a wardrobe that works. From new client meeting, drinks with friends or mucking out the horse my look is practical; stylish; professional when I need it to be, but most of all feminine. My clothes reflect who I am and the lifestyle I lead, I have the image I want and the confidence to go with it. Take my advice invest in yourself it really will give the best return.

As a consultant time is always precious, clothes shopping is a chore and I hate the constant pressure of finding different things to wear. Shine have helped me develop my own personal style, saved me valuable shopping time and overall saved me money. The colour consultation was an invaluable part of the session as it opened my eyes to the range of possibilities. I now have a styled and colour co-ordinated wardrobe which has surprisingly left me with far less garments but still more to wear!! So in consultancy terms an excellent return on investment.

My company bought me an Executive Image Consultation as a thank you for my contribution to the business. Ursuline is very personable and put me at my ease straight away. She explained everything and told me things that I could never have learnt from reading books. Quite simply she made the whole topic of Executive Image and Personal Styling fascinating and engaging. As a result I am now the proud owner of a new and very versatile wardrobe and I am told I have a very defined and distinct image. My Executive Image Consultation not only enhanced my professional life but my friends have recognised and commended my new social image.
