ABOUT

I started my stylist career since a young age I became in love with fashion being different unique, and for most of all expressing my self through fashion. Being homosexual in my household was very hard and sometimes still is, that's why fashion gave me the strength to surpass all the negatives from my life.

Being more open-minded about what the client wants, but to also show my aesthetic

Carlos , when you’re working with a large number of clients, it’s tricky to deliver excellent service to them all. As a Fashion Stylist, how do you go about prioritizing your clients’ needs?

I tend to communicate with all my clients and listen to what they want and if they are open to making people turn heads with what I style them with. Communication is key in life.

Just be on top of each client and make sure you make them want to come to you more.
