Has anyone ever used a personal stylist at Nordstrom?

I have not used them but my sister has. She said it was nice and relaxed. No pressure. I would like to give it a try, too. I need to get a style, I am 42.

Congratulations on your weight loss! 

I tried to use one of the personal shoppers to make shopping for an outfit for a wedding easier when I was recovering from surgery. Unfortunately, she had a very different idea of what I would consider wearing to a wedding than I do. It was not helpful. There was zero pressure to buy anything.

Years before, I had used the service to find outfits for interviews. That experience was significantly better. That stylist quickly clued in to my tastes and found colors that worked for me and outfits that were slightly less boring and fit my style. And, she supervised the alterations as well.

So, no pressure from Nordstroms on either side of the country. But, the experience was dependent on the individual stylist.

The real secret to great fitting clothing, however, is alterations. A friend was on What Not To Wear and they alter every little thing. Keep that in mind as you try things on.

Yes! It was AWESOME and I highly recommend it. I did it for my two older girls, one when she graduated college and had her first job and the other when she was going on her big internship last summer.

The woman was terrific - not pushy at all; respected our price points and my daughters' choices and tastes and both girls left with really nice work wardrobes.

Can't recommend it highly enough.

I suggest you go to the Nordstrom at Northpark. The stylists are very helpful without being pushy. Northpark is a great mall located on a main freeway.

The Nordstrom at Northpark is awesome! Ive had a stylists before and I didnt feel pressured but I did spend more $ than I anticipated. Congrats on your weight loss and good luck on your new cute style would love to see what they picked for you!

Join this style challenge: They've put together a special capsule of age appropriate wardrobe basics specifically for women over 40. Registration will open on Friday, October 31st.

Ironically they just reported on the noon news that the Nordstrom's at the Mall of Georgia is closing after the first of the year. I've never even been in the store much less used one of their stylists. Now I feel guilty. Maybe I should go in and try this service while it's still close by.

I've had good experiences and one fabulous experience. I highly recommend them to anyone who doesn't care for shopping or needs advice. I've gone for special occasion dresses, and when I moved to a new climate and needed a winter wardrobe. There has never been any pressure- but in all honesty , I'm there for a purpose and they've always helped me find what I'm looking for, so I've never left empty handed. They're very respectful of your needs, budget etc. Like anything, there can be variability in the specific stylist, but I've never had a bad experience.
