Testimonials for Pivot Image Consulting

“I never really thought about hiring a stylist, but then COVID hit. After months of quarantine and working from home, I realized that I’d gotten pretty shaggy and unkempt. And as a 53-year-old man, I’d been thinking about upgrading my look to something more professional and age-appropriate. I mean, I’m not a slob by any stretch, but I’d really let a bland, generic, business-casual look take over my wardrobe for the last several years – it was the path of least resistance. The “silver lining” of COVID quarantine was that it was the perfect excuse to make some changes so that I could come back new and improved.

I did a lot of internet research. My research was thorough, and it kept leading me back to Patrick at Pivot Image Consulting. I searched for the best. I found the best. I found the Best of the Best, in fact.

I had a few questions before committing to an online session. Patrick was great about responding quickly and professionally, and with no sales pressure to follow up with a paid session. That’s one of the ways I knew I was talking to the right guy. He knows the value of his expertise, and he’s respectful of a potential client’s time, so he doesn't need to use high pressure. Right off the bat, I got a great sense of who he is.

A couple of email questions convinced me that I needed a full online session. I scheduled it, and then I got the prep “homework” – a questionnaire and a request for some pics of my wardrobe. I strongly recommend that you take a couple of days to do the prep work. It’s not hard to do, and you can totally knock it out pretty quickly, but it’s worth a little reflection about what you want out of the session. It’s also worth the personal honesty to really see yourself and your “problem areas” – Patrick will see them (you’re paying for his objectivity, after all), so just go all in on honesty and self-knowledge. It softens the blow later.

The session itself was just insight after another. Starting at the top of my head and working down, Patrick addressed everything:
Hair + style + grooming
Facial hair + style + grooming
Facial skin care
Glasses
Shape of my face
How hair + facial hair + and glasses frame my face
How to work with my natural coloring, and how those colors work with my clothes

We moved on to talk about my wardrobe, what worked and what didn’t. We talked about how to fit clothes to my individual body shape. It wasn’t so much about “accentuate the positive and draw attention away from the negative” as much as about fitting your clothes correctly. It wasn’t problem-solving, either. It was refining and enhancing what was already there. I may not be communicating this clearly, but Patrick’s approach was entirely building up, not about tearing down and re-building, if that makes sense?

Patrick took into account the types of clothes that I like and items that caught my eye. He analyzed everything about me (hair, facial hair, grooming, build, colors, comfort, budget, time, etc.), and he came up with a series of recommendations designed specifically for me:

Colors
Cut
Fit
How to determine size and fit
Materials
Brands
Places to shop
Return policies

Patrick produced a comprehensive written report, and he recorded our online session. I have both of these products (plus more!), and I go back and review them as I make new purchases. I took specific items from his report and put them on my phone so that they’re always at the ready whenever I’m looking for something new.

He really couldn’t have made it easier. Shopping used to be a painful slog, like going to take a test when you already expect to fail. Now it’s like taking a test where you’ve already got all the answers on your phone.

Patrick's only interest is in his clients’ success, and his track record speaks for itself. Once you engage Patrick, you have someone who’s 100% on your side and who’s 100% committed to seeing you put your best self forward.

I fully, unequivocally recommend Patrick and Pivot Image Consulting. I’ve been 100% satisfied with this service, and I know you will be, too.”
-Jeff R.

“One day of working with Patrick has made a lifelong impact. Picking clothes for my workday used to be a dread. Now it's automatic. I was incredibly impressed with the depth of his knowledge and also his get sh*t done attitude. He put a lot of effort upfront into analyzing my face and body shape, skin color, height, weight, etc., and then used those assessments as a guide during the in-person consultation. I went from having zero style and a very basic look to one of the best-dressed dudes in the room. It would have been impossible for Patrick to have done more for my confidence than he did that day.”
-Jake S.

“Patrick really helped me out with finding a style that would work best for my online dating profile. I went with the virtual session followed by a half-day in-person consultation and from the very start, he was very thorough going through my initial photos and putting in the effort to tailor the session to my specific needs. During the in-person session, Patrick put in a lot of prep work to make sure I got the most out of the session and even tailored it out of the initial schedule to go over what I needed help with. In the end, I am really happy with my new look and also glad I went with Pivot because Patrick genuinely cares about his clients and takes the extra time and effort to make sure they are happy with the final result.”

-Shawn M.

 “I purchased the online consultation with Patrick. One hour may not sound like a long time, but it is important to know that he does a tremendous amount of analysis prior to the call. Because of this, Patrick conveys his advice for improving your style and grooming effectively during the consultation. Patrick was very patient when I was experiencing technical difficulties on the call.

The value that I got from our consultation far exceeds the price of the consultation. Had I not done the consultation, I would have undoubtedly misspent that money and would not have made any material progress on upgrading my style. Since our consultation I have been able to make principled decisions about my clothing and grooming related purchases. My female friends and coworkers have complimented me on my style choices.

As someone who has spent thousands of dollars on conferences, seminars and workshops, this is definitely the best purchase I've made to improve myself. When you start making material progress with upgrading your style, it improves other aspects of your life because you are looking and feeling good about yourself.

If you are considering purchasing any of his services, I highly recommend that you do!”

-Gen. O

“Great consultation, full of customized information to help me look my best. Excellent customer service in evaluating customers' new outfits to help implement the advice from the consultation as well! Recommended for men who are not sure how to look their best and don't want to waste time and money shopping for outfits that don't work.”
-Jason L.

“Patrick's mastery of the aesthetic principles of style is exemplary. He uses the tools of facial and color analysis to identify each client's unique style profile and offers specific recommendations for developing a personal style that elevates and enhances each person. Moreover, Patrick's personal approach and attentiveness to the individual needs of each client makes his service invaluable. You will definitely receive more value than you pay for, which is a refreshing alternative to a marketplace replete with cheap products and hyper-monetized services. Schedule a consultation with Pivot Image Consulting; you will not regret it.”
-John M.

“Patrick puts in the time and hard work in advance then arrives at the first meeting prepared and ready to roll. He shares his extensive knowledge in a thoughtful way taking into account all available information. Highly recommended.”
-Steven J.

“Patrick far exceeded my expectations, and I could not be more pleased with the services he provided.

I opted for the 2 day session in Scottsdale. From start to finish, Patrick was 100% focused on my needs, from reviewing my existing wardrobe and providing feedback on what works and what doesn't and why, to an in-depth review of skin / body / facial profiles, to a color analysis, strategies around what types of clothes will work best, facial hair, eyeglasses, shoes... He covered it all.

Patrick knows all the best places to but clothes, and it was a fast paced session of popping into each store, finding options, trying things on, and buying what worked. The best shopping experience I've ever had, and the longest. It was very productive.

He focused on skin and facial hair on the second day, and we did a bit more shopping. With each step, Patrick explained what we were looking for and why those items worked for me. Who knew the difference properly fitting and right colored clothes could make?

Patrick asked me what my shipping budget was, and we came in under that amount. He knows of some great consignment stores which really helped save money while getting awesome clothes.

There was so much more I could say. All if what he promised on his site was real. I now feel much better equipped to maintain my image, all thanks to Pivot. I highly recommend this.”
-Ken R.

“Patrick did a great job! He gave me some ideas & several "tweaks" that made a big difference. I could tell he prepared well for the meeting & the recap afterward was very thorough & helpful. I highly recommend!”
-Steve L.

“I opted for the Virtual consultation. I am very impressed with his attention to detail, humor, and directness. Some suggestions were a surprise to me but make perfect sense. I will probably schedule another consultation in a few months to do a bit of fine-tuning.”
-GB L.

“I did a one day consultation with Patrick and had a great experience. He put a ton of effort into understanding what I wanted to get out of our consultation, and was flexible and extremely knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to others.”
-Ben D.

“I am pleased to say i had a great experience with Patrick. At a basic level, his experience and expertise in this field shows, but more importantly, all services are personalized to the costumer. Be it personal branding for an individual or business, Pivot Image consulting is second to none in my books. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.”
-Camille T.

“This guy knows his stuff and gets it done. I have never shopped that much and done so well. The pace moves quickly as you get everything you need and are constantly hearing tips/tricks along the way. But, no worries, because he sends an extensive email that has everything you talked about (seriously, the whole email is personalized). He listens to you and helps you get into classy styles that still match your personality. In short, use this guy. I don't think you will find better.”
-Brandon M.

“PIVOT Image Consulting has opened my eyes with a whole new clarity when it comes to understanding personal image and buying anything for myself. I knew I had made mistakes in style in the past but I didn't realize just how much! It's awesome to now be able to go back to old photo's and see immediately what wasn't working for me and why, able to never make those mistakes again. From hairstyle and coloring, grooming, facial hair styling, fashion, colors that work for me, fit, shoes, eye-wear for my face shape, everything was covered. Patrick's approach is direct and he teaches you insight rather than just telling you what will/won't work so you can apply the knowledge confidently for yourself going forward. He really knows his stuff! Patrick is amazingly thorough and far exceeded any expectations I had. With the amount we spend on clothing, accessories and grooming it makes sense to make sure every purchase is working it's best for us! PIVOT is an affordable investment in yourself for life-long results - that is true value for money!”
-Nathan R.

“Awesome experience that was personally driven for me and my needs as a guy. Comprehensive head-to-toe specific recommendations. Great price. He probably should charge more.”
-Dr. Michael B.

“Looking inwards can be difficult, judging my physical appearance and taste impartially (especially with zero expertise) was impossible. Patrick’s external opinion and experience was what I needed to make a more drastic change and I learned much more than I bargained for. I’m grateful for his advice and highly recommend his consulting practice.”
-Tom V.

My first session with Patrick was eye-opening. He is genuine and it is immediately apparent he truly enjoys what he does. If style is something you plan on getting serious with long-term then Patrick gives you real info, not fluff. He over-delivers and gives you knowledge you can take with you wherever you go. I am already planning on booking more sessions with Patrick to continuously learn and level up my style game.
-Greg P.

“Patrick made me feel immediately more confident in how I shop, dress, and present myself. In the first meeting, Patrick walked me through photos I'd taken and pointed out mistakes I hadn't even realized I was making and showed me the impact on how I look. I've been incorporating the suggestions Patrick gave me, and the results have been easy to see. When I've had questions, Patrick's been patient responding and giving me feedback on things I'm unsure about. Highly recommended.”
-Juan L.

“I had struggled to buy clothes that I was happy with for a while and kept wasting money on things that weren't right or did not fit. Patrick gave me the to-the-point knowledge and practical help I needed to turn that around. He takes his role very seriously and went out of his way to make sure that I was on the right track. I can't recommend working with him enough!”
-Gordon B.

“Patrick is great. He did a really thorough job of educating me on the science behind what my personal style should look like.

It's way more technical than I imagined, and his explanation of all that immediately established credibility and trust in a process that had the potential to be pretty uncomfortable without it.

No one likes to admit that they've been consistently been doing something as central as dressing themselves some degree of wrong for most likely their entire adult life, and most aren't very comfortable with change. Some probably view their clothing as an aspect of their identity. You can trust Patrick to do right by you.

His observation of your style is going to be more objective and informed than yours is of your own, and he puts a lot of effort into getting to know you.

I left feeling confident in the way I'll be presenting myself, and also in my ability to use the resources he provided to make solid decisions going forward. I highly recommend meeting with him in person if you can.

Not many guys enjoy shopping, but he does his prep work and organizes it in a way that makes it very efficient and as painless as it can be. He has a great knowledge base in all things men's style, and you'll leave knowing exactly what brands, sizes, fits, colors, etc. work well for your body type and tone.

So one day in the stores with Patrick just bought me ten years of not having to go to stores because I now know that what I buy online will fit perfectly. Personally, I found him to be very professional.

He has a talent, has studied extensively to put himself in a position to be able to maximize that talent, recognizes the value in the service he provides and wants to help people improve their lives. Those are the core components of entrepreneurship, in my opinion, and I have great respect for anyone who can make it a reality. Plus he's a down to earth, enjoyable guy to hang out with. 5 stars.”
-Rob M.

“Patrick far exceeded my expectations. At every step of the consultation, I was impressed and happy with how everything he shared would help enhance my overall style.

I booked a consultation because I mainly wanted guidance on how to find clothes that fit the way I like. I often would see a certain outfit online then go to the store to find something similar - but most times the clothes never fit the way I wanted. I started to dislike shopping because pretty much every time I'd go looking for clothes I'd leave empty-handed. Thanks to Patrick, he helped me solve this issue. That alone was worth it.

I also had all these clothes in my wardrobe that I really liked style-wise but just didn't like how they fit on me. Thanks to his insight I realized how I could make some minor tweaks that would help them look the way I liked. I went through my wardrobe and found over 20 items I could start wearing again.

The facial analysis was eye-opening to me also. I've had a hard time finding hairstyles I like and he helped me solve this too (I wasn't even looking for this). And finally, I was really impressed with his breakdown of the color analysis and helping me identify colors that are best for my skin tone. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Thanks again, Patrick.”

-Ty M.

“For a long time, I used to buy cheap clothes at Target. I wanted to buy better clothes, but nothing ever seemed to fit right or look right, so why would I spend more money just to get something I'm still unhappy with? Patrick at Pivot Image helped me resolve this dilemma by working with me to identify my style and showing me how to build a wardrobe of clothes that fit, look great, and I actually enjoy wearing.

The virtual meeting with him on its own is well worth the cost, though I personally found the subsequent feedback he provided, as I went out and started buying clothes, to be of even greater value. I had a phenomenal experience working with Patrick, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for advice on their wardrobe and overall style!”

-John T.

“I can't say enough great things about Patrick at Pivot Image. I found him after doing a google search needing to spiff up my image in mid-life. He was professional from inquiry to full virtual consultation. He exceeded my expectations because unlike getting advice from women, he's a guy and understands the male body, and what's important and unimportant when fine tuning our image and appearance. His education is far reaching on guy's style, image and focus - just YouTube his interviews. After submitting photos of myself, he told me what worked and what could be improved - zooming into the details that would make the difference. I came away from our session wishing I had recorded it, but the follow up report he sends has everything we discussed, and he allows for follow up questions after the consultation. He provided so much value for the cost that unless I change my look drastically, the consultation will last a lifetime! Working with Patrick I felt like he was on my side the whole time, interested in helping, answering every question and the best image consultant I've worked with and I've worked earlier in life with a few. If you are curious he offers a consultation call to answer question before booking the service. Thank you Patrick. You are my go to guy and I appreciate your blog!
-Chris M.

“Had a great experience with Patrick. I found him on online and didn't know what to expect, but he did a great job. He spends a lot of time preparing and answers every question that you have. He gives great insight and I will definitely be using his services again.”
-Stephen F.

“I did the coaching program with Patrick for two months, and I cannot stress enough how awesome this program was, and what a great experience it was working with Patrick. From the very first consulting session, I knew that I was speaking to a man who had done his research, has exceptional attention to detail, and who will work hard for me. I asked way more questions than I had a right to, and he was always responsive, courteous, and insightful. Over these last two months I would say that I've seriously upgraded my eye for detail and overall style to a level that I never would have achieved had I done it solo. 

Simply put, Patrick is worth every penny. There's no doubt in my mind that I would love to work together again with Patrick in the future, and I would highly, highly recommend anyone who is on the fence to improve your life by doing so, also.”
-Cory P.

“Spent a full-day in-person. Fantastic experience, exactly what I was looking for and exceeded expectations. As a very tall guy, he pulled it all together like a pro. Thank you Patrick!”
-Shannon B.

“I took the 1 Day turnaround package with Patrick. It was an absolutely amazing experience working with Patrick. I recommend spending at least a day with to learn as much as possible, he knows a lot of stuff starting from dressing to skin care to laundry. He also kept asking me questions about myself and kept giving me lot of tips on improving myself. I will definitely work with him again.”
-Arjun R.

“Can't say enough good things about Patrick and his image consulting service.

- He has a variety of "packages" to accommodate your budget. I myself went for the online session, including a virtual conversation, follow-up emails, and a PDF of everything that was gone over in the session.

- It might not sound like much can be accomplished in an hour, but believe me, with Patrick, almost every minute was value-packed and impactful. We went through every item he promised in his offerings, from skin-tone matching of colors, to the do's and don't's existing in my current wardrobe, to personalized item-by-item recommendations what to buy, right down to what store to buy them in to fit my budget.

- We also went in-depth on accessorizing, grooming, and proper maintenance/care of clothing so I can finally INVEST in the right items and have them last.

- I was so excited by my results, within a day or so I was sending Patrick screenshots of texts I was being sent by women who knew me and would see me, letting me know how good I looked after they'd run into me out and about. This was directly because of Patrick working with me and getting my game up.

To me, it's like any other professional you need to engage as you grow and mature. Your tax situation gets complex, you want to retain a CPA to help handle your books. You encounter a tough - or rewarding - legal situation, you'll want a solid, competent attorney on your team. This is no different; when you're ready to truly sharpen your style and change how you perceive yourself and others perceive you, you "retain" Pivot.

Based on what session and follow-up conversations have done for me, my confidence, my appearance to others...I can't recommend Patrick's services enough, and will continue to engage him as I keep on this track.”
-John W.

“Patrick was super fun to work with. I did the in-person consultation and learned more about style in one day of shopping with him than I have learned in years of trying to figure things out solo by reading online.

Patrick was able to teach me the really important things that all the blogs and magazines missed. I learned about which colors work for me (dark) based on my skin tone and hair color. I learned that wearing shirts with collars makes me appear a lot more muscular and proportional. Patrick also helped me develop a strong understanding of my personal sense of rugged/classic style.

I now have a solid wardrobe of foundational pieces that mix and match effortlessly. Although we only bought about twenty items and spent just half of my budget, I feel like I have endless outfits to choose from. If I didn't hire Patrick I would have spent way more money and ended up with a bunch of clothes I'd never end up wearing.

The best part is Patrick didn't just tell me what to buy. Instead, he taught me how to shop, curate my own style, and put together really smart outfits. I get really excited about my clothing now. In the past, I had surrendered to just wearing the same t-shirts and jeans, and feeling really boring all the time.

Finally, Patrick is just a really nice guy. I had a lot of fun talking to him about life, style, relationships, and business. He has a great sense of hospitality and really shows that he cares about your experience.

I'm really glad I invested this. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking his style to the next level!”
-Patrick H.

“If you think you dress well and want to up your game or if you have don't know where to start with improving your appearance Pivot Imaging should be the first place to start this journey. The amount of information that I received from Patrick during the online consultation was phenomenal and I would have never got such personalized advice if I researched on my own. The advice about ways to enhance facial appearance to the color and style of clothes and shoes to wear is par excellence. No matter how old or young you are or how good or bad you think you appear in society Pivot imaging will give you no nonsense succinctly packaged positive information you deserve to know.”
-A.P.
