Style Academy students come from all countries and backgrounds, including the Middle East, South America, Central Europe, Asia, as well as Western Europe and America. Upon enrolling, Janeth Gomez, now a Certified Image Consultnat from Mexico City, had these questions concerning the industry in her country.
Q: -How do I manage to introduce into the Mexican population that Image consultants are required by all people not only for politicians, actresses, and public figures in general? In my country it is very difficult to offer image consulting services since they´re thought to be exclusively for television personalities or politicians, every time we´re hired by a house wife they call us once, and they forget about us foreve . I think this has to do something with self-esteem because they either think they now how to do it perfectly or just the opposite they believe it´s not for them and they don´t deserve it.
Q: -Is there a subtle way to offer our job without hurting peoples feelings? Once I was with my husband´s mother an I really thought she should change her image because she´s got a very attractive face so as her body but I could noticed that her make-up was not at all neat and her hair lights were putting down all her appearance, so I decided to offer her my services and I guess I didn´t do it the right way because she felt I was criticizing her.
Q: -Is it possible to learn your technique in order to look and feel better by respecting yourself and your style?
Goals for taking the course and what I hope to achieve.
-First of all I would like to learn everything related to wardrobe since I’m a make-up artist specially regarding eyebrows, I’m very much interested in developing my creativity in the way of combining trendy outfits.
-Secondly I expect to be taught the dress code for man, I don’t have any experience on that issue and I think it is important for an image consultant to know it.
-Manage to know what color hair and what type of cut is ideal for every person.
-Gain knowledge on the way to combine accessories with the clothes, specially: sunglasses, purses, bangles, rings, earrings, watches and collars.
-Become skilled at organizing a closet, or the dressing room. Including shoes because I really think they’re quite important.
In Mexico City I started a Major in Public Image but all I learned was good but not enough and I also felt it was not very updated and not topnotch, so I came here because I know I will learn excellent ideas to develop my job the best possible.
