I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Couture Zen on multiple occasions for photoshoots. Not only is she consistently professional and creatively gifted, but she is also an absolute pleasure to work with. One particular instance comes to mind where a client had hired a stylist who canceled at the last minute. I have never encountered such unprofessionalism in my career. With the client occupied with makeup and hair, I reached out to Melynda of Couture Zen in a desperate bid to salvage the photoshoot. To my immense gratitude, she was able to come to the rescue. She expertly curated stunning outfits and accessories in an impressively short amount of time, saving the day. Since then, she has been my go-to stylist, and I will forever be thankful for that unforgettable save.

My experience with Melynda at Couture Zen was fantastic! Initially, I was uncertain about working with a "stylist" and assumed that only high-profile celebrities and public figures could afford such luxury. However, I soon realized that Melynda's services were accessible and essential for anyone, including working professionals like myself who simply needed guidance transitioning into a new career position. Working with Melynda was like having a reliable and valuable resource similar to a good family doctor, therapist, or handyman who can fix anything.
The process consisted of several sessions that began with an in-depth consultation over Zoom, followed by an extensive closet audit and a shopping trip. During our initial meeting, Melynda asked me questions about my preferred style and inspirations. As we explored various avenues, I came to a lot of realizations about myself and how I presented myself to the world. The closet audit was an eye-opening experience, and Melynda pointed out that I had been purchasing the wrong size clothing my entire adult life. The shopping trip was a fun adventure and exceeded my expectations as we visited various stores, including Target, where we found great clothes for a fraction of the cost.
Melynda was also conscious of my budget and made it clear that her job was not only to enhance my confidence but also to save me money. I was impressed by her exceptional services and have already made plans to work with her again. It's like a yearly physical or doctor visit that everyone could benefit from. Booking Couture Zen with confidence will change your life and how you present yourself to the world. I've received numerous compliments from colleagues and clients and would highly recommend Melynda's services to anyone looking to enhance their personal style.

Working with Melynda was a delightful experience for me and my team. It was our maiden journey of collaborating with a professional stylist, and she assisted us throughout the process. Melynda was very supportive and took care of everything so that we did not face any challenges. She followed our mood boards and picked clothes and accessories that were apt for the shoot. Moreover, she also gave suggestions for posing to our model.

Melynda provided me with the most exceptional experience! Throughout the process, she was tremendously helpful and taught me everything from proper fit to color coordination. What endeared her to me the most was our initial shopping trip, where we went thrifting - a pastime that is both eco-friendly and personally enjoyable for me. Melynda is undoubtedly my fashion guardian angel, and I feel blessed to have her by my side. Thanks to her, I feel like the best version of myself, and each day I have a blast putting together my outfits! Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend her services. She is an authentic fashion royalty!
