What is a Personal Image?

The way we present ourselves, look, sound and act speaks volumes about who we are and how much we respect ourselves. Within just 30 seconds of meeting someone, we believe we know their level of competence, background and likeability within about 80 percent of accuracy. Your personal image creates a lasting impression even before you start speaking. It can take just ten seconds to ruin your image and ten years to rebuild it. Whether we like it or not, we all have a personal image, so it makes sense to take control and ensure it works for you to give you the best possible advantage in your life, career and opportunities.

Why should I book a session with an YVONNE GRAY Personal Brand Image Designer?

There are countless ways to send the wrong messages or to mask your true values which can cause others to dismiss our doubt your abilities. However, many of these messages are unspoken and it requires the focus and skills of a trained professional to identify visual and hidden signals you are transmitting, and guide you in how to improve them. Maybe you don’t have time to shop well or are overwhelmed by the multitude of colours, clothing styles and make-up products available. Perhaps you need to look more authoritative, creative or approachable, or an important event is coming up and you want to look and sound as professional as you feel.  YVONNE GRAY specialise in Personal Brand Design - methods of marketing yourself with a similar strategy as you would market your company, product or service.

Are there sessions for Men as well as Women?

Men are just as likely to benefit from sessions as women. Often more, since so little advice of this kind is available. 

What does a Session involve?                         

Complete Personal Brand Design:  (The full package:)  (6 – 8 hours) £495 +vat. 2 delegates £450 each +vat. Complete Personal Image Make-over.

OR  Individual Sessions:  (which can eventually add up to the full package)

Colour Appraisal:  (90 minutes). £145 +vat. 2–3 delegates, £125 each +vat. Of over 40,000 documented, named and referenced colours, about a quarter of them will be your ideal for clothes and make-up – even your home or office décor and car! We study the entire Colour Spectrum and conduct Derma Analysis, Tricho Analysis and Ocular Analysis to determine the colours that are visually flattering to your skin tone, hair and eye colouring.  Includes Wardrobe Planning and Colour Co-ordination. Identifying your best shades for various garments. For women, this session includes make-up application which can be extended to a Make-up Lesson for an extra fee (see below).

Personal Styling: (90 minutes). £145 +vat. Reveals why certain styles of various garments, shoes and hair style enhance your body shape and why others should be avoided.  We then identify an ideal outline silhouette for you with recommendations on specific necklines, garment styles, skirt / trouser and jacket lengths.

Professional Make-up Lesson:  (60 minutes).  Alone: £125 +vat. Extra to Colour Appraisal £75 +vat.  Learn professional make-up skills from top London photographic studios that work with light, shade and colour to give you a well groomed and elegant make-up finish. 

Feature Enhancement:  (60 minutes).  Alone: £125 +vat.  Extra to Colour Appraisal £75 +vat.

Ideal for men, stage presentations and for women who prefer to wear no colour make-up.  A subtle but essential “no-make-up” look, working purely with light and shade (without colour).  Enhances clarity of complexion, definition of features and enlivens the face for a younger, fresher look.

Paralanguage:  (90 minutes)  £145 +vat. 2–3 delegates, £125 each +vat.  We can learn to be conscious of the silent messages we are communicating, and acquiring effective habits can transform your ability to persuade and influence people. During this session, we identify your professional requirements and ideals, then analyse the image you are currently projecting via your posture, mannerisms, voice, and general grooming. This leads to specific recommendations for pulling your entire image together and carrying it off with confidence.

Personal Shopping:   £85 + vat per hr (plus travel & time at cost.)  Accompanying you to either your favourite shopping areas (or ours), as required.   Regularly held in:  London, Windsor, St Albans, Oxford, High Wycombe (Eden Centre), Bicester, Stratford upon Avon, Kingston, Marlow and Henley on Thames.
