The closet purge generally takes 1.5 – 3.5 hours, although I have had a closet purge that lasted as little as 20 minutes and as long as multiple, lengthy appointments (10+ hours). It all depends on how much clothing you have. Yes, you will be trying on most things.

I cannot emphasize enough that you really don’t need to do anything at all before the closet purge. I can show up and do my job no matter what situation your closet and wardrobe are in. But if you really want to prepare, here are a few things you can do:

1. Have all your clothing available. This means make sure you have all your clothing back from the Dry Cleaner and your hamper for dirty clothes isn’t full of garments we might want to work with during our session.

2. Have all your clothing, shoes, and accessories in one room. Again, this is not a big deal at all, but it does make the closet purge more efficient.

3. Having your wardrobe somewhat organized is always helpful, but again, not necessary.

4. We often dip into the far reaches of your wardrobe where dust lies. Since most people are allergic to dust, any sort of dusting before we dive in there can be nice.

After the consultation, I charge by the hour with a 6-hour minimum per client that you can use as you please. You pay me at the end of each session, unless otherwise discussed. I accept cash, check, and credit cards. Please e-mail me for my hourly rate, thank you!
