TESTIMONIALS

February 2024 - Victoria is amazing! She was able to explain how to apply makeup on and why you have to put it on a certain way. She will absolutely make you look the best! It is hard to find someone to trust when you’re learning to put on make up. Victoria not only makes you look and feel amazing, she lets you feel like a friend who you can confide in.

January 2024 - It is my absolute pleasure to be able to write a testimonial based on my experience with Victoria the day after one of the more memorable, emotional nights of my life. Our meeting was planned for a couple of exciting weeks, during which Victoria was supportive, encouraging, a wonderful resource and even a personal shopper! We spoke on the phone and texted as if we were long time friends. Victoria is a force! So lovely, kind hearted, FUN and with great knowledge of everything having to do with a Gender Expression Makeover like I enjoyed. We spent nearly an hour chatting while getting me ready - it is still exhilarating to think about - which included talking about wardrobe options, getting a French Manicure! Lashes, and breasts on plus of course, the MAKE UP which felt and looked amazing. When I was all ready - the unveiling of GRACE! - came the moment of truth! I COULD NOT BELIEVE what I saw in the mirror, so feminine, pretty and of course glam (but not overdone). Her words of encouragement and support were so genuine and heart felt, I truly feel like I have a new special friend and confidant. And what a person to have in my corner! For Grace, this is just the beginning! We have already talked about our next time together, some bigger and broader plans and it is a bit intoxicating to even envision! THANK YOU VICTORIA! And to ANYONE out there nervous but considering a visit to LIIE for Gender Expression or any service - DO NOT HESITATE - go ahead and do it and you will be so happy you chose Victoria. Don't just take it from me, there are dozens of wonderful, heartfelt testimonials on the LIIE site and with good reason! She is THE BEST! Thank you so much for changing my life and for one of the best nights I've ever had! XOXO

June 2022 - I first met with Victoria A. Stylist when my parents gave me a session with her as a Christmas gift. I had been out of college for a couple of years and my wardrobe mostly consisted of baggy sweatshirts and khaki pants. Victoria met with me and helped me find clothes that showed off my curvy figure as well as helped me find a personal style that was young, hip and true to myself. I actually enjoy shopping now, I can't thank you enough!

June 2022 - When I first sought the help of Long Island Image Expert, I had recently broken up with my boyfriend and was a mess. I was in need of a total makeover, as well a serious confidence booster. With Victoria's guidance, I got a completely new look, as well as a completely new outlook on life…like a big sister she motivated me and I feel fantastic!

May 2022 - I just wanted to thank you for spending the day with me. I will never use any other personal shoppers service again you’re the best! I can’t even count the number of compliments I’ve received since my “makeover” with you in NY. The biggest impact has been the high heels.I can’t believe I’ve only been wearing flats all these years. I’ve bought several other pairs since our shopping trip, and wear them to work almost every day now. The skirts have been a big change too and many people have complimented the “whole new look” I have. I’m very happy with the new hairstyle. The best part is not only that it looks much better than the old one, but that it’s much easier to style. So thanks again for your help!!

May 2022 - You have given me such a practical yet sophisticated education in style.  Now I have the knowledge I need to kick-start my mid-life adventures. I am enjoying my new hair, makeup and clothes. A little bit of style goes a long way and subtle accessorizing is magical. The real difference is in my renewed confidence. I am proud of my curvy size 8 body and it shows. Because of your advice, I have more confidence and that confidence glows from within. People sense it and “it” is attractive. Being a married woman, it is sort of strange to have men admire me but, it now happens almost every day. Really. What is special about what you provide is your strong sense of style coupled with sincerity, gentleness and heart: like a loving big sister willing to share all her fashion and beauty secrets. You have excellent taste and you practice what you preach. You really ought to have a daily TV show. Lots of women, of all ages and walks of life need mentors like you.

May 2022 - I have received some feedback on my new look, comments have ranged anywhere from have you lost weight (didn’t know I had to), did I get a raise (I wish), do I have a new girlfriend (no), and this morning one of my colleagues asked me if I had been “queer eyed” (I think this was meant as a compliment but I’m not 100% sure).  So all in all I would say this has been a successful start. THANKS !

-Trevor from NYC

May 2022 - I have been so pleased with the results.  My entire family was bowled over by my appearance at the wedding.  I’ve lost track of the positive comments I’ve received from coworkers and friends (“you go, girl”, “diva” etc!)  I’ve really tried to dress as we discussed for work everyday as well as out.   My new hair and makeup are great.  I’m feeling more confident shopping for new outfits based on things we discussed.  And I’m wearing heels to work almost every day(!) — I think they take 5 lbs. off instantly! I’m just about to start trying internet dating and think I have new-found confidence in my appearance and attractiveness that’s going to make it much less scary.

May 2022 - It’s been several months and I’m still reaping the benefits of the day spent with you. The clothes that we eliminated from my wardrobe have not been missed at all, and it feels good to have cleaned out that unnecessary excess, that will unlikely build up again now that I have a better idea of what works for me.

The advice you gave me on clothing, shoes, glasses, hair, makeup has been invaluable. I now have far fewer clothes and find it much easier to select outfits for whatever the occasion. The hair stylist you referred me to, specialize in curly hair, and does a very nice job with my hair. I’ve been back several times now. I highly recommend her to anyone with curly hair. Thank you for helping me clean out my makeup and brings it up-to-date with more flattering products and tools. You also did an amazing job on my eyebrows.

April 2022 - My session with Victoria A. Stylist was a gift from a family member. Frankly, I was skeptical. I considered myself very well-dressed already, so it was the sort of thing I never would have splurged on myself. But upon meeting Victoria, I was instantly reassured and intrigued. She understood the style I wanted to achieve, pruned my overflowing closet, and steered me toward smart purchases at great outlets. I love the way I look now! When I wake up in the morning, I know exactly how to create a look, even when that look is casual.

I feel silly admitting it but, here goes: since meeting Victoria and developing my personal image, my romantic life is so much fuller. Maybe it’s the way I look, maybe it’s simply the confidence I’ve gained. Either way, it is the single best gift I have ever received.

-Tabitha from NYC

March 2022 - Before I met with Victoria A. Stylist from LI Image, I truly thought my wardrobe was current and hip; after all, for years I had people helping me with my clothes shopping. But as it turns out I was just a bit out of touch. Without making me feel badly about myself, Victoria in a few hours helped me rid my closet of several items that were dispensable and to which I had some illogical attachment, and add just a few new items to my wardrobe which make me feel renewed and more confident. I never imagined I would work with a stylist, but it was a lot of fun and Victoria is terrific.

-Ron from Cold Spring Harbor

March 2022 - I wanted to drop you a note to let you know what an impact this makeover has had on my career.  Who would have thought that my Boss (who notices nothing), would make such a big fuss over what a great change this was for me.  It is two months since I have had it done and he just mentioned to my Manager this past week what a difference he sees in me.  Let’s face it — Elizabeth’s brain hasn’t changed — but he clearly has the perception that I have changed as a result of this makeover.  It proves my point that I needed to change my image so that I would be taken seriously and not have to prove myself all the time. Thank you!!!!

-Elizabeth from NYC

March 2022 - Thank you so much for providing Vicky with an amazing experience yesterday. Both she and her friend Debra were very impressed with your talent and style. My wife looks at least 10 years younger and is walking on cloud nine. You made my birthday gift to her one that she will never forget. If you ever need any new references for your website please let me know. Thanks again.

-Newton from Commack

February 2022 -Planning my wedding was probably one of the most daunting tasks of my life, and picking out the right gown for my shape and coloring was downright impossible. That is, until I hooked up with Victoria at Long Island Image. Victoria got a real feel for what I was looking for, and within a day or so, we found the ideal dress, veil and shoes for me. Victoria was instrumental in styling my mom as well, and she even managed to get us both a discount! After we got the dress out of the way, Victoria took me to her hair stylist to figure out what would look best. She truly took the worry out of the most important day of my life… thanks Victoria!

-Brittany from Garden City

January 2022 - I wanted to write you and thank you again for your great work. With the lessons you taught me, I have been shopping on my own and continuing with ongoing personal development and image maintenance. I actually enjoy shopping (in stores, not just online) now and have been managing and perfecting the new look with great success. And the ultimate test!! Last Friday, I had dinner with my ex (remember, Mr. “You’re too low maintenance; I’ve lost my attraction to you”). He was blown away by the new look! And I’m pleased to report the clothes were ones I’d picked myself following your rules and recommendations. He was thrilled with the outfit, loved my hair (complete with new highlights) and couldn’t stop staring and saying things like, “You look fantastic!” and “This is very different! A good different!”  I won’t be indiscreet or indelicate, but his goodnight kiss suggested that loss of attraction wasn’t a factor anymore!!

And apart from him, the attention from guys has increased. Thanks again – you’re a wonder woman!!

-Claire from NYC

January 2022 - I don’t think there has been a day that has gone by that I wore the clothes you picked out for me that I have not received a compliment, plus I have noticed people making eye contact and their eyes go from head to toe. This is all very new for me. I have been wearing at least 1 to 2 of the new items every day since we met either socially, to the office, or to university, and I have been complimented every day on at least one occasion. It’s pretty amazing. People around campus pass me and say hi! I blame the Van sneakers, how cool and gorgeous are they, and I think they take at least 10 years off me and make me more accessible to younger people (which I love) because I do want to make friends at school, and the people there are very creative and friendly (my kind of people), and it’s great to have people 20 years younger say hi to me in such a friendly manner (I don’t see the generation gap and it seems the new clothes have closed that even further which is great).

Went to a networking function at a very stylish club last week and wore the HUGO BOSS sport coat and people were looking at frequently during the evening. whichever direction I looked I felt vibes.
