Why choose susana perczek styling over a store stylist?Working with Susana Perczek Styling goes beyond standard store styling.

By understanding your body type and color palette, I help curate a wardrobe tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring that your image reflects both your personality and professional aspirations.

How does the susana perczek styling process work?The process begins with a complimentary 20-minute call to discuss your needs and goals. By the end of the call, we’ll both know if we’re a great match to work together. Before our first in-person meeting, you’ll complete an intake questionnaire to provide valuable insights into your style journey. During your in-home session, we’ll review your answers, and I’ll perform a color assessment and body design analysis to create the foundation for your personal style. This is where the transformation begins—the revelations will be remarkable, and the beauty and joy of your new style will begin to emerge. Next, I’ll help edit and reorganize your existing wardrobe. This essential step gives you clarity on what you own, what works, what needs to be retired, and what’s missing. Everyone’s wardrobe is unique, and this process ensures we tailor it specifically to you. If needed, we’ll schedule one or more shopping sessions to fill in the gaps, followed by outfit creation sessions to bring your wardrobe to life, allowing you to dress with confidence and ease.

How long does the susana perczek styling process typically take?The timeline varies based on your needs and availability. On average, the process takes about three weeks from consultation to final delivery. However, when I work with clients in New York or San Francisco, the process can be completed in 5 days. During our consultation, I’ll provide a more specific timeline tailored to your needs and preferences.

What is the investment for Susana Perczek’s styling services?First-time clients typically engage with my services for either the Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer season. Final pricing details are discussed during a complimentary discovery call, with prices ranging from $2,000 to $8,500. After just one season, many clients quickly realize the true value of a year-long commitment, allowing them to fully experience the transformative power of my services. I work with a select group of clients each year, individuals who view luxury as more than a commodity—it's a thoughtfully curated experience. My bespoke solutions go beyond the ordinary, setting new standards for style, refinement, and sophistication. For most of my clients, our relationship extends over several years, as I become their trusted advisor for all things styling and image building. If you’re ready to elevate your personal style and experience the lasting impact of a tailored approach, I invite you to schedule a discovery call and take the first step toward a new level of sophistication.
