Personal Shopper & Stylist

Personal shopping FAQs

Straight answers to what people ask before booking a session: budgets, brands, sizes, where I work and what to expect on the day.

How much does a personal shopper cost?

Personal shopping with me costs £185 for up to 3 hours of shopping together, including a telephone consultation, a video call and location research. With an Outfit Planner it's £275 (7 outfits) or £355 (14 outfits). There's no minimum spend on clothes. A wardrobe edit at your home is also from £185, and every experience is on my services and prices page.

What happens in a personal shopping session?

A personal shopping session starts with a telephone consultation to discuss your requirements and a video call to meet each other and prepare. I then research the best shops for your needs and budget and pre-select garments and accessories for you. On the day we shop together for up to 3 hours, with guidance on dressing for your body shape, colours and lifestyle. See personal shopping in London for the full experience.

What is a wardrobe edit?

A wardrobe edit is a personalised session in your home, lasting up to 3 hours. Together, we go through the clothes you already own, look at what suits your body shape and lifestyle, and decide what to keep, alter, donate or let go of.

I’ll also show you how to make more of the pieces you already have and create a shopping list for anything that’s missing from your wardrobe.

The experience starts with a phone consultation and prices start from £185. You can find out more on the Wardrobe Edit page.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book your appointment by giving me a call at 07783 985823 or sending me an email at hi@mariapersonalshopper.com

Do you often work with men?

Yes, I work with men and women. So, if you are a man and thinking about a styling experience, this is also for you.

How you present to the world is essential, and personal image is an experience of self-care.

What happens if my style and yours are not the same?

Our styles do not have to be the same.

I am an image professional; I have been trained to recognise any body type or style and get the maximum potential out of your image. Therefore, I will adapt the shopping to your tastes, needs and budget.

I will give my knowledge and advise you professionally according to what works best in your personal case.

Which locations do you work in?

The personal shopping happens in central London (Marylebone, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Bond Street and Covent Garden) and in Oxford. The wardrobe edit happens at your home, and I travel across North, West, South and Central London, Buckinghamshire (High Wycombe and the towns around it, such as Marlow, Beaconsfield, Amersham, Gerrards Cross and Chesham), the Thames Valley (Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Maidenhead and Windsor among them) and Oxford, plus Milton Keynes.

If you do not live in these areas but are interested in working together, don't hesitate to contact me, and we can see our different options.

Do you cover North and South London?

Yes. For a wardrobe edit I come to your home in North, West, South and Central London. Personal shopping happens in central London, wherever in London you live.

Do you offer online styling?

No. All my sessions are in person: personal shopping in central London and Oxford, and wardrobe edits at your home.

Do you have gift vouchers available?

Yes, I do. If you're considering giving your loved ones an experience, you can buy a gift voucher directly from my website. On the payment page, you'll be able to enter your loved one's name and a personal message you want to include, and I'll send the gift voucher to your email.

Do you work with plus sizes?

Yes, I work with plus sizes, from size 16 up to size 20.

What kind of brands do you work with?

I work with all kinds of brands, from high street to mid-range. I will adapt the shopping for you according to your needs and budget.

Is there a minimum budget to spend?

When it comes to your budget, there is no minimum budget to enjoy a personalised shopping experience. You decide how you want to live the experience. I understand that everyone has unique needs, and I will adjust to accommodate your situation. The most significant benefit of this experience is that you will learn about the best fits, cuts, and colours that suit you and discover new brands along the way.

Do you only work with designers?

No, I work with all kinds of brands, from high street to mid-range.

Do you work with people who don't follow trends?

Absolutely! Understanding which clothes are best for your body or lifestyle is independent of following trends. Furthermore, you can embrace your personal and unique style without feeling the need to follow the latest trends.

I am scared because I do not feel confident with my body and don't want anyone to judge me.

You don't need to be scared; I am not here to judge but to encourage you to love yourself, love your body, and make the most of your image together as a team. We will create a style in which you feel confident and authentic and don't need to worry anymore about the outfits you pick every morning.

Who do you usually work with?

I work with people of different ages and backgrounds. There is no minimum or maximum age to take care of your image and enjoy fashion.

Can I bring a family member or friend to our experience?

No, my experience over the years has led me to work only one to one. This way, you will feel more at ease and be able to make your own decisions without being influenced by others' opinions.

Is this experience just for rich people?

No, this is an experience for everyone who wants to work into their image with a professional. You don't need to be rich to look good or stylish.
