How is NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling different from free department store stylists, online subscription box services, artificial intelligence (AI) styling, & virtual closet/wardrobe styling apps?
NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling differs significantly from department store styling services, popular online subscription based companies, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) styling & virtual closet/wardrobe styling apps. In her early career, Nazaneen herself was a Styling Sales Team Administrator for one of the nation’s leading luxury department stores in the Bay Area, California. Most of these department store stylists are sales associates who have successfully curated a recurring customer base, and earn the “stylist” title by driving some of the highest sales into their specific store. In other words, a stylist can be a sales associate, but a sales associate cannot always be a stylist. Although department store stylists can be free of charge, they are limited to solely shopping within the store inventory & seasonal selections. Not to mention, these stylists’ main priority is to meet & exceed their sales quota within a short time frame, and some even work on commission, which may result in a less personalized experience, as well as disingenuous product recommendations & pressure to make purchases.
Online subscription & box services may be affordable & seem convenient, but they are also usually limited to their own selection of inventory, and rarely have an actual human stylist who spends more than just a few minutes curating a selection for you, since their goal is to scale and cater to millions of customers in the most efficient manner. This results in a rushed, impersonal experience, and inaccurate, inconsistent, messy & confusing results when you receive your box shipment. It also does not help that you are usually unable to have face-to-face communication with a stylist who digs deep, and takes the time to learn about you, your lifestyle, career, facial & body features, likes/dislikes, goals & ambitions, insecurities, and so much more, to help achieve your fullest potential & express your authentic self through the power of styling. This explains why so many customers have similar complaints, feeling unheard & frustrated when trying to voice their preferences or feedback & end up receiving repetitive, redundant, boring, & flat-out wrong selections. The best alternative to those on a budget is to take advantage of our third-party payment plan options, or by choosing our most valuable Give It to Me Straight service, where we offer a complimentary 30-minute Style Sync consultation to analyze & assess your personal style, and have an additional 60 minutes spent exactly the way you want.

Artificial intelligence (AI) styling is, by its very nature, limiting, when it comes to catering to the nuances & complexities of styling a human, where you need to consider a client’s personality, mood, preferences, perception goals, lifestyle, emotions, ambitions, and so forth. Human stylists have the emotional intelligence that a computer simply cannot replicate, and styling is psychologically deeper than simply putting a cute outfit together. Human stylists rely on their innate empathy & intuition to pick up on a client’s energy, eliminate limiting beliefs, & communicate effectively to ensure they achieve the shared goal they set with their clients. It’s also important to note the most significant shortcoming, which is that AI & algorithms work at its full capability after analyzing its subject’s behavior, which will result in predictable, “been there, done that” type of looks, rather than exploring new, exciting styles. If you’ve already developed the habit of repeating the same outfit daily & only wearing a small fraction of your wardrobe as most people do, this may exacerbate the issue. Just imagine how many times you want to click “zero” when speaking to an automated voice message, so you can get connected with a live customer agent – the idea is not very far off with AI/algorithm based styling.
Virtual closet & wardrobe styling apps are useful for organizing your closet in a digital capacity, but that’s really all it is. If you ever considered hiring a personal stylist, you likely need more than just assistance with closet organization. Although most of these apps do style outfit suggestions, they usually leverage AI (remember the cons of AI listed above) to mix & match outfit combinations randomly instead of strategically, resulting in the outfit combinations not making much sense. If the app suggests outfits that are not in your existing wardrobe, they usually receive commission when you shop those links, and the suggested pieces may not be a strategic, versatile addition to your existing wardrobe. You may also have trouble making a decision on whether an outfit looks good or not, which a stylist who has a creative eye can support with, but not so much an app. Some of these apps do have stylists on standby, whether human or robot stylists, they do not take the necessary time to thoroughly learn about you inside & out, providing the most personalized experience & results possible. NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling offers full digital lookbooks to help maximize the utility of your wardrobe pieces, save time, & eliminate decision fatigue when getting dressed daily, with pricing determined by the size of your wardrobe. Click “learn more” under any of our services to see details about our full digital lookbook add-on.

What are your core values & philosophy when it comes to styling?
At NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling, our core values & styling philosophy are built around shopping & styling strategically, prioritizing versatile pieces that you can get more wear out of, saving time & money without compromising style, and acknowledging the strong connection between styling and mental health, as well as personal & career development.
We believe in mindful consumption rather than purchasing trendy new clothes often, based on emotion or influenced by the exhausting, everchanging social media trends. Styling is also more important than shopping – in other words, quality over quantity. It’s imperative to treat your wardrobe as a cohesive collection & reflection of yourself, and never purchase an outfit that you can only wear one time (unless it’s your wedding dress). With that, you can shop as much as you’d like, but without the ability to shop or style strategically, your outfits will never reach their full potential. On the other hand, if you focus more on styling rather than shopping often, you can put together quality, elevated looks, remain unique, love & wear everything in your closet, while saving time & money.
Nazaneen herself proudly invests in wardrobe pieces she owns for several years, only shopping about 2x per year, after evaluating her wardrobe needs, strategically adding only a few versatile pieces at a time that she can style for various aspects of her lifestyle, and strictly adopting the seasonal trends that compliment her individual style & overall wardrobe. Nazaneen encourages clients to repeat apparel items & even outfits, as with the power of styling, including treating your hair & makeup as if they are accessories, can completely change the aesthetic & vibe of the exact same outfit catering to two separate occasions. If you excitedly repeat a lot of your clothes, this indicates that you know how to shop for yourself, you’re actually loving & wearing everything in your closet, and getting your money’s worth (goals!). Once you’ve built a solid foundation with classic, quality basics in your wardrobe, you then have more room to make fun, impulsive, emotional shopping decisions that can spice up your closet.
When it comes to actually styling outfits successfully, Nazaneen’s go-to formula is balancing proportions from top to bottom, paying attention to tailoring, complimentary color tones, as well as styling hair/makeup, & strategically finishing off with unexpected accessories, to pull a full look together. Styling has first-hand helped Nazaneen battle depression by feeling more uplifted, anxiety symptoms by gaining social confidence & boosting productivity, as well as self-esteem issues & self development, including landing job promotions & growing in her career from retail, to corporate, & entrepreneurship. Nazaneen’s humble childhood beginnings, innate creative passion, & natural born talent for styling & deeply connecting with others, has created the perfect recipe for the ultimate stylist who has the ability to understand what you need to make magic happen. We strongly believe that styling is more than just dressing up in a cute outfit – it can change your life & push you to dress the part you’re meant for, eliminating limiting beliefs & achieving your life goals.
We know that each client has their own unique taste, preference, physical features, dreams, and lifestyle, and we take a deep dive to get to know you better than you know yourself, so we can help you look & feel your absolute best. We believe in flexibility & being able to support various clients with their unique needs, ranging from virtual wardrobe edits, to full on shopping & fittings, as well as digital lookbooks of your wardrobe, which is why we offer an array of styling services.

How do I know if I want to work with you & how would you know what I want?
We understand that hiring a compatible stylist is vital for a successful outcome; therefore, NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling offers a complimentary 30-minute Style Sync consultation where we analyze & assess your personal style, preferences, lifestyle & goals, and have you complete a detailed Glam Guide questionnaire. This meticulous intake process allows us to get to know one another, and determine whether we’d be a good fit. We compile as much detail as possible, and do our homework behind the scenes before meeting with our client, with the goal of knowing you better than you know yourself.
We encourage you to also explore the details available to you on our website, including our portfolio of looks and social media accounts, to get an idea of our aesthetic. However, please be mindful that we are able to cater to various clients’ styles, and you do not have to have the same style as Nazaenen in order to work with us.
We stand by our Client Service Support Guarantee, so that you can feel confident in your purchase. If you are ready to save time, shop more strategically for versatile pieces you love to help make styling various outfits easier, eliminating decision fatigue & frustration, and finally feeling confident & inspired in your wardrobe, then you’ve come to the right place. Click here to view all of our services & book your complimentary 30-minute Style Sync consultation with us.
What type of clients do you typically style & how do I know if I need a stylist?
Our styling services are best suited for individuals who value the power of styling, and are ready to invest & commit to the process as much as we are. We work with individuals who take styling seriously, wish to save time & money in the long-run, and understand that shopping strategically for versatile pieces allows for maximizing wardrobe pieces, helping to eliminate decision fatigue & frustration from the shopping & styling experience.
Our services cater to all professionals, including but not limited to: women in corporate leadership or executive roles, entrepreneurs, young professionals early in their careers, stay-at-home moms & wives, doctors, attorneys, public figures, clothing designers, apparel or magazine business owners & brands. Our clients range from everyday women to public figures- all who appreciate looking their best in & outside of the workplace, in every facet of their lifestyle, including off-duty weekend looks, brunch outings, dinner cocktail parties, date night, and so much more.
You’ll usually have a pretty good hunch if you need a stylist or not- but you may simply feel apprehensive about taking the plunge & hiring one, because you may be under the false, dated impression that stylists are reserved strictly for famous celebrities & red carpet events. Although styling is indeed a luxury & an elevated service, long gone are the days where they are solely reserved for the rich & famous. Everyday women have their own personal brands and deserve to be perceived as their most authentic selves, looking & feeling like their absolute best. Don’t allow these limiting beliefs to make you miss out on hiring a stylist who gets you & can help transform your look & life. If you need a trusted expert with a creative eye & knowledge that will help you put your best foot forward, someone who understands the value of maintaining a professional image, and how it can build confidence & self esteem in your work & personal life, you will likely benefit from hiring a stylist.
The classic tell tale signs that you need a stylist are as follows: you often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, lost & confused, both in your closet & when shopping, you prefer to feel invisible because you lack confidence in your appearance, you aren’t happy with your purchases when shopping independently, developed a habit of repeating the same dull outfit while neglecting most of your wardrobe, feel ready to build a new identity for yourself & shift how you are perceived by others, you feel like you have nothing to wear, you can’t tell what looks flattering or not, have trouble styling various looks, or you’re simply not inspired when dressing for the day. Some may also seek styling services when they’ve experienced a recent life changing event such as a new career, promotion, becoming a new mom, losing weight, and so forth.
All in all, if you struggle with putting yourself in a box with limiting beliefs & a scarcity mindset, you may benefit from hiring a stylist that can help build your confidence, elevate your presence with a wardrobe revamp, as we analyze & assess your personal style, goals & lifestyle. This will make you feel more radiant & excited to dress for the day, conquering your life & career goals as your most authentic self. Your closet should be a reflection of you & your happy place, where you set the tone for the rest of the day by dressing for success & for the part you’re meant to play in life.

How do you set your rates & when is payment due? Do you offer payment plans or accept clients outside of U.S. & international currency?
Our rates reflect the quality of service, knowledge, expertise & effort, but are also more flexible, competitive & accessible to everyday professionals, rather than strictly catering to public figures & celebrities. However, each client receives the high quality, elevated looks & personalized attention that a celebrity stylist may offer their celebrity clients. Our goal is to save you time, money, & eliminate the frustration in the long-run by shopping & styling more strategically, putting a heavy emphasis on choosing versatile pieces that help maximize the utility of your wardrobe pieces. As a result, you end up loving & wearing everything in your closet that reflects your authentic personal style. Please note, a tremendous amount of time & effort goes into the process behind the scenes, in addition to the amount of time spent with the client in face-to-face sessions. Styling is not as glamorous as it may sound, requiring a ton of hard work & complexities than simply playing with cute clothes. Styling a client includes a deep, personal experience to help clients look & feel their absolute best in every facet of their lifestyle. Although we do offer hourly services upon request, most of our services are in the form of packages, at the best value. Our prices definitely take into consideration the amount of time & effort needed to complete a project, but our rates are more focused on value & results rather than time.
Our rates are well thought out & fair, and we want our clients to feel confident in their purchase, which is why we offer complimentary 30-minute Style Sync consultations, as well as stand behind our Client Service Support Guarantee. All payments are due up front, at the time of choosing the service you’d like to move forward with, before we officially start the project. We offer payment plans through third party companies to help break up the total cost into more manageable installments. Exact payment plan details vary, since it’s controlled by a third-party company, and can only be found at the time of receiving the invoice & service agreement before the start of the project.
We are happy to offer referral credits to clients as well! When referring a new client, they must move forward with one of our services for you to receive your discount on your next project. Referral credits are as follows:
$700 off of virtual Let’s Be Friends & $850 off of hybrid
$400 off of virtual Out With the Old, in With the New & $550 off of hybrid
$150 off of virtual Get My Chic Together
$200 off of virtual Make a Statement tier 1 & $350 off of hybrid

We currently only work with clients in the United States & accept U.S. currency through our third party payment software, Stripe. We do not accept cash payments. At the moment, we do not work with international clients or accept international currency. However, this can definitely change in the future, so stay tuned & subscribe to our newsletter to keep up with announcements. We encourage & welcome any feedback, so please feel free to contact us as well with your thoughts.

What if I am dissatisfied with my results- do you offer refunds or have a cancellation policy? What does Client Service Support Guarantee mean?
After meeting during your complimentary 30-minute Style Sync consultation, you will receive a link with the suggested service package based on your needs, and payment is due at this time, right before we begin working on your project. Please note, all sales are final. If you choose to cancel your service for any reason, you will not receive a refund.
Although we do not allow cancellations, we understand that life happens. Therefore, we are happy to reschedule your appointment with at least a 24 hour notice. We work hard to provide an exceptional client experience & strive to deliver quality results, and our services are a major time commitment. We value & respect your time & expect the same in return.
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your service results, we stand behind our Client Service Support Guarantee, which means we are committed to working diligently to address your needs & concerns, providing top quality styling services. For clients to feel confident in their purchases, we offer infinite, complimentary modifications & edits to service packages as needed, within the scope of the service purchased.
Please review our privacy policy & terms of service agreement/terms of use for more detailed information. If you have questions, concerns or comments, please contact us at info@nazaneenazizi.com.
What are your client text style support hours?
Client text style support is strictly offered to our existing clients who have purchased one of our service packages that include this feature within the time frame listed under the respective service. The purpose of the text style support is to answer simple, quick styling questions via text, within the scope of the service purchased, and to provide clarity in any follow-up, lingering questions the client may have upon completing the service.
Client text style support hours are Monday through Friday, 10am-6pm Pacific Time. Please allow 1 business day for a response.
Please review our privacy policy & terms of service agreement/terms of use for more detailed information. If you have questions, concerns or comments, please contact us at info@nazaneenazizi.com.
What is the difference between a mini digital lookbook & full digital lookbook, and why do the prices vary significantly?
The mini digital lookbook is a complimentary service within packages that include a shopping service, which includes up to 5 outfits styled for the client. We offer more outfits at an additional cost (please click here to view all service packages). The purpose of the mini digital lookbook is to allow for a convenient visual of the outfits purchased & styled for the client. For example, if the client purchased a service that includes shopping for a specific vacation, they will receive a mini digital lookbook at no additional cost, with up to 5 outfits styled with the new purchases. This will allow for the client to reference these outfits for inspiration & save time & avoid decision fatigue when getting dressed on their vacation.
The full digital lookbook is optional for the majority of services offered, and the price is determined by the client’s wardrobe size. (please click on “learn more” under any of our styling services to read about our full digital lookbook). We charge less for a mini digital lookbook compared to a full digital lookbook because for the former, we shop for the new items strategically ourselves, rather than with the latter, where we work with the client’s existing wardrobe pieces. The full digital lookbook is more holistic, as we strive to build-on and revive a larger, existing wardrobe, which takes more time, effort, and creativity.
On the other hand, the mini digital lookbook solely features pieces we strategically purchased for the client into outfits we’ve already envisioned mentally while shopping. In other words, the mini digital lookbook essentially provides convenience to the client who prefers a visual of exact outfits styled with their new wardrobe pieces we sourced for them, whereas the full digital lookbook has both new & existing pieces, at a much larger scale.
Do you allow for unused time in a service package to be carried over for later use, or in addition to a future service package?
We do not allow clients to save or transfer unused time in their service packages. We offer ample time in each service package to ensure clients do not feel rushed. With that, if we happen to complete the service package & achieve the goal set before the allotted time is up, this is the most ideal & efficient scenario. Our ultimate goal is for us to meet our clients needs based on the service package purchased & focus on achieving results to the best of our ability. Please review our privacy policy & terms of service agreement/terms of use for more detailed information. If you have questions, concerns or comments, please contact us at info@nazaneenazizi.com.
Do you provide color palette & body type analysis or image consulting services?
Yes & no. Although we agree it’s important to choose items that compliment & flatter your body shape + skin/hair/eye color, these systems tend to be restricting & limiting, almost putting you into a box. Although these systems are put into place to simplify & guarantee styling results, it can be counterproductive, as they are not the most accurate or reliable, and can end up making you feel frustrated & overwhelmed as it can cause overthinking, or even make your style feel boring & predictable. At NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling, abiding by these rules are not a priority, as we don’t completely believe in them. Instead, we are open to using it as a guideline to reference when considering the most flattering items on a client, but it’s important to not take it so literally or let it be our sole focus.
It’s also important to note that most body type styling systems focus on simply making every other body type give an illusion of looking like an hourglass shape. These systems indicate that hourglass figures should never wear turtleneck sweaters, which we disagree with from personal experience. We also find it a bit ludicrous to never look at a turtleneck sweater due to your natural figure. Another common rule is if you have fair skin with cool undertones, it’s advised to only wear silver over gold jewelry, and so forth. Our specialty is mainly wardrobe styling: shopping & styling strategically, & hunting down the perfect items that make you feel polished, put together, & as if you can conquer the world. We love to style amazing looks in numerous ways – no matter your body type, or features. In other words, instead of obsessing over following hard rules around body types & skin undertones, we focus on nailing the overall, bigger picture look using our intuition, balancing proportions & the tones of the clothes themselves. Although we would of course not advise color tones that wash you out, or denim that doesn’t fit well, we do not create hard rules that completely banish colors & styles, making it feel illegal to wear looks that you love & feel authentic to you.
We currently do not offer professional image consulting services, but we may offer such services in the future, which would also include certificates & training in personal branding, etiquette analysis, communication style correction, and so forth. We may informally provide this feedback & support to clients upon request. We are open to feedback & suggestions on expanding our services, so please feel free to contact us at info@nazaneenazizi.com if you’d like to see official image consulting services offered at NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling. Be sure to also stay tuned & subscribe to our newsletter by entering your email in the box at the bottom of our blog page to keep up with announcements. Please review our privacy policy & terms of service agreement/terms of use for more detailed information.
Do you offer virtual and in-person services in my home?
We offer fully virtual services as well as in-store services locally in Los Angeles, CA. We currently do not offer in-home services. However, this can definitely change in the future, so stay tuned & subscribe to our newsletter by entering your email in the box at the bottom of our blog page to keep up with announcements. We encourage & welcome any feedback, so please feel free to contact us as well with your thoughts at info@nazaneenazizi.com.
Do I have to buy new clothes in order to work with you?
There is zero pressure to purchase new clothes when working with NAZANEEN AZIZI Styling, and most individuals don’t wear everything they have in their closet in the first place; rather, they are stuck in the habit of reaching for the same, safe outfit. In fact, 2 of our services do not include a shopping service, but may include a verbal or written list of recommended additions to your wardrobe (click here to view our services).
We also offer the optional full digital lookbook add-on to these services, really taking out the decision making process for you when getting dressed daily. Overall, we believe in shopping in your closet and maximizing the utility of your pieces through the power of strategic & versatile styling.
None of your packages address my needs. What are my options?
You can contact us at info@nazaneenazizi.com stating what you need & we’ll take it from there!
Do you style men or kids?
We currently provide styling services only to women ages 18+. However, this can definitely change in the future, so stay tuned & subscribe to our newsletter by entering your email in the box at the bottom of our blog page to keep up with announcements. We encourage & welcome any feedback, so please feel free to contact us as well with your thoughts at info@nazaneenazizi.com.
