Kristin Golden Image Consulting

I needed some sprucing up for a life that includes working as a freelancer (read: sometimes I’m in corporate meetings, often I’m at my dining room table or Starbucks), being a mom & wife, volunteering at school, doing too many things at once, and still trying to show my creative side. Kristin first helped me discover new colors that suited me (I thought I could not wear yellow at all till Kristin pointed out I should … and I have gotten so many compliments on my new yellow top!) and picked out so many great clothes on our shopping trip that I wound up going back to buy the ones I didn’t get the first time.
I was skeptical about whether a consultant would make me be too conservative, or want to put me in heels all the time (OK, in full disclosure, I think she would have liked it if I wanted to wear heels all the time … but she was totally cool and non-​pushy when I said that’s not going to happen). But instead I came home with new outfits that feel — to paraphrase the old ad tagline — like me, only better! My husband thinks I look great, a stylish colleague compliments me every time she sees me, and even my 88-​year-​old grandma told me, «Those are some nice sharp jeans!»
The only downside was that the new clothes looked so great, my old look seemed baggy and crappy, and so I got rid of almost everything new and sort of blew my budget … but it’s so worth it. Kristin’s attitude is also so positive, professional and friendly that it was a totally unselfconscious experience to be brought up to date and into a much more attractive — and fun — place in my fashion life.

Kristin is great. When you’re growing up, they teach you math, science, history… etc. Unless you plan on dressing up in historically accurate period attire, there’s a big lack of «how to dress yourself» in the school system.
I went to our initial consultation and learned a ton of great information about what colors work together, what styles are in and timeless, and what ever man needs in his wardrobe. Most importantly though, how all of this applies to me.
Even more important, Kristin went personal shopping for me and picked out a ton of really great stuff for me to try on. I was the Julia Roberts to her Richard Gere. I had a great time trying on things I would have never picked but looked really great.
I came out of the experience with a solid base of items that work together to give me a ton of amazing combinations for anywhere from casual to dressy occasions.
If I didn’t move back to San Francisco, I would employ her services a few times a year.
Kristin is awesome. Go with Kristin. You won’t be disappointed.

Kristin Golden is fantastic! She has a way of helping you with your image that suits who you are as a person; she builds on what your are naturally instead of making you into someone you not. She does all of this in a kind and friendly way, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. I would TOTALLY recommend her to anyone, male or female!

Kristin is amazing! I didn’t have much to offer in the way of style and image, and had no idea where to start. Kristin has done a great job of increasing my comfort level with my image and showing me simple ways that I can step up my game! I thought the whole deal would feel threatening and awkward, but Kristin made it easy and comfortable. I would 110% recommend Kristin to anyone looking to make improvements in this area — and it is amazing how Kristin’s work has made improvements in related areas of my life! My thanks to Kristin!

I’m in my 50’s and want to look stylish but age appropriate. Kristin really did some styling magic. She put together three outfits and I loved them all. Three affordable looks that have gotten rave reviews every time I wear them– that’s worth a lot more than she charges. Go before Christmas and instead of hating holiday parties, you will be excited to go!

I am just about the last person to know anything about fashion. That is why Kristin is great. Kristin knows how to cut straight to the point and her honesty is refreshing. She helped me by telling me what I needed to hear and not just what I wanted to hear. She understood why I hired her and she used that to help me make a change. Kristin inspires confidence in others and really loves what she does — and it shows. I absolutely recommend Kristin, not just to build your wardrobe, but to help you discover and embrace your own unique style and to give you the confidence to know that you can and do look good!
