Doyle Designed, The Salon Committed to Change
Image and Success
By: Doyle Sims
Success is measured not only by our
accomplishments, but also by our image. Respect the value of your first
impression, and appeal to senses of others. People judge you within the
first few minutes of meeting you. They make assumptions about who you
are based on you looks and your clothing.
Projecting a professional image is crucial to
attaining success. People will take you seriously if your look is
polished and pulled together. Modify your clothing, accessories, makeup
and hair color to align with the season. For example go for lighter (in
color and weight) clothing, hair and makeup in the spring and summer. In
the fall and winter, gravitate toward darker and warmer colors of
clothes, hair and makeup
Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve. Try not
to let your emotions affect your appearance. Avoid dark colors when you
are in a bad mood. Instead, choose bright and cheerful clothing and
accessories to elevate your mood. If possible, try to keep a new
clothing item or accessory in your closet for those times when you need
a lift. It doesn’t have to be anything major; a new blouse, a new
bracelet or a new pair of shoes! Try not cutting the tag off until you
are ready to wear the item; this will allow you to approach the day a
fresh outlook!
