OPINION OF THE COURSE PARTICIPANT
„I learnt so many great things on the Image Consulting Course with Margaret. She doesn’t only give you a lot of tools that you can use to develop and sharpen your skills as a Stylist, but also she as a creative herself, will help you shape and execute your ideas in the most productive way. This comprehensive course goes from basic technical information to practical exercises, including setting the cost of your services, which if you are an amateur Stylist, will be very useful.
On top of that, Margaret is easygoing, passionate about art and fashion and has a lot of experience, which will make you wish the course was longer !  
I fully recommend it!
