I found Joy to be very professional and knowledgeable, the shopping experience was fantastic! I have had so many compliments and my husband loves my new outfits. I now appreciate colours. Potential U has helped me to find the potential in me and my clothes, it is a transforming experience that every woman should do at least once!! I will definitely be using Potential U again. Joy chose a lovely coat for me and I have received me so many compliments and I even saw it on a celebrity. Please start looking for my 2010 winter coat!
Detoxing my wardrobe was a painful experience as I had to depart with memories but it was all for the better, it also made me realise how much money I wasted on ill fitted clothes. Although you pay for the services of Potential U; you save money knowing that you have brought good quality and stylish clothes that will last.
Joy also gave me tips on colours that would suit me and after wearing bright colours I really do not want to go back to wearing dull colours.
I would recommend that you do ‘Gift vouchers’ so that partners can book for wife’s valentines, Christmas and Birthdays etc. My husband never knows what to get me but he could always book me some time or ask you to get me a dress etc.
I will definitely be employing your services again. I have referred my friends to you.
I walked into the office with my new outfit and a colleague said did your stylist put this together……that lady knows her stuff…..

I had great fun! You save money because you don’t waste money buying things that don’t go with anything else. Definitely something I will do again and again. I think you are a great and talented stylist!

Lauren 7th Dec 09
I’ve been ‘Joy’d'!!
What a Fabulous experience! Such a relaxing, easy shopping experience and Joy picked exactly what I needed! I would highly recommend it – ends up saving you, because you don’t spend time and money buying items that don’t suit you, which you end up not wearing. Thanks Joy!

Fashion isn’t for all. Style is for EVERYONE!

Christmas is fast approaching. Our diaries are filling up with parties, dinners and balls!

Look amazing this Christmas by following our Top Style tips:

1.Wear your hair differently this party season. Wear it up or with curls very classy but do something different
2.Add a beautiful glow to your skin by wearing bronzers and mineralisers. Gold and bronze tones give your skin a youthful glow
3.RED lips adds a touch of glam and spice to your style
4.An empire line dress is a must for every woman’s wardrobe. Very flattering on all body shapes and hides a multitude of sins
5.Drop the LBD ( Little black dress) Stand out with an elegant dress in Colour
6.A low back dress is fabulous piece for ladies less endowed
7.Complement your lovely dress with a fake fur Shrug. Bang on trend this season
8.Treat yourself to manicure and pedicure. Paint your nails in red avoid neutral colours
9.Like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz wear sparkly shoes. Wear Strappy shoes in silver or gold. Avoid chunky heels, delicate heels are best

This morning was no different to any other. I woke up at 5am to begin the journey to my client’s home. It was a long drive and I wanted to beat the morning rush hour traffic.
I arrived at my client’s home in East Midlands at 9.30am. She booked my biggest style package the DIVA she was keen to revamp her image so it was a full day’s work ahead.
As soon as we met we engaged in conversation and I proceeded to start her Colour Analysis consultation. I was delighted that she was excited and keen to begin her style consultations. It sufficed that my client was an extra ordinary woman and that today would be somewhat different. She had 3 forms of cancer (leukaemia, uterus and a brain tumour), she also had Multiple Sclerosis and was told by the doctors that she had 18th months to live. In shock and struggling to hold back a flood of tears, it took everything in me to maintain my professionalism. She shared this information with me in a matter of fact way… I soon realised I needed to pull myself together before our eyes engaged. Amazingly she was so positive, upbeat and excited that I didn’t want to put a dampener on her consultations which was a treat for her.
I continued her Wardrobe Detox consultation with zeal realising this was an amazing woman. My client is like no other client despite the odds she embraced life with such passion, belief, laughter and strength. It was truly a joy to behold! We went from shop to shop in her wheelchair selecting a fabulous new winter wardrobe for her. She cracked jokes along the way and had the excitement of a girl as she tried on her new clothes. The irony was that she had the same body hang ups as all of my clients ’my hips are too big’ ‘I look fat in that’ …;-) I felt so privileged working with her; my passion is helping women achieve confidence and style, this consultation clearly illustrated the importance of this for my client. We all deserve to look and most importantly feel great about ourselves!
As we concluded her Personal Shopping consultation, I walked back to my car in deep thought replaying the events of the day. I was full of gratitude and repentant about the little insignificant things I moan about. It resonated so vividly that life is truly a blessing, one we must make the best of. I leant so much from this amazing woman who emphasised that we have nothing to complain about. Despite the challenges before her, she was happy, positive, fun, strong and fighting for everything that life held. It was truly a life changing consultation as well as a fun experience..
Life is a gift……let’s make the best of it!

My Client’s response
Hello Joy
I was surprised when I read your blog. I really have never seen myself as you did and it was very emotional for me, when I finished reading it.
Of course I approve of you publishing it, if it only helps others to see how important life is and to feel blessed that they alive, I think it will have achieved so much.
I really had a lovely experience and it was great, that you saw me as an individual and not ‘just someone who has a disability or illness’ and why was she bothering with how she looks, she is supposed to look rough because she is dying.
I gained from you confidence in my own person again. I do thank you sincerely for that. Therese of Lisieux was known to say “I’m suffering very much, but am I suffering very well? That’s the point!” I believe you have answered that question for me.
Warmest regards

My Client’s feedback 6th Nov 09
On first talking to Joy to arrange my consultation I knew that it was going to be excellent. Joy on arrival looked so warm and bright that my thoughts were endorsed. Joy had taken a lot of time to research my needs as I am a wheelchair user. She was friendly and professional. My Colour Analysis was so accurate, I had liked the jewel colours but and always gone for black (yes I know, we all do) and very pale wishy washy colours, that I thought let me blend into the background. Joy though showed me colours that brought back confidence in myself and a feeling of how I used to be prior to my ill health.
The Wardrobe detox was such a cleansing experience. It almost felt that I was given permission to rid my wardrobe of the items which just hung there. Impulsive buys, wrong styles which did not suit me, but which I just put back time after time.
Then the Personal Shopping trip, I was really looking forward to this. Joy had thoughtfully gone to do the shopping and arranged for me to meet her at the agreed shop and a set time. This was good for me because I have very limited energy and needed to sort out medications. My son’s partner drove me and we arrived at the shop. Joy had already arranged for the disabled access changing room to be used and the clothes were hanging inside. This was so much easier than having to push a wheelchair around the shops and battle to see the clothes on their displays. When I was pushed in to the room it was like Aladdin’s cave, the clothes were wonderful. The colours fantastic and the style of the clothes just hung right. Of course I was very critical of certain lumps and bumps which I thought you could see, but Joy and Tara both were of the opinion I had been wearing too baggy a size clothes for what I needed. I must admit I felt a million dollars in the clothes. Joy had done so well with the clothes because I feel the cold, but have not got the energy for heavy clothes. Joy had chosen warm but light clothes which ticked all my needs. Shoes again I had gone from wearing stilettos to flats. Joy surprised me by finding a pair of the softest leather boots with a small but stable heel which I could manage to stand in with my stick without losing my balance, I was so happy to have a pair of girly boots again. Then for the evening gown which I needed, a beautiful, elegant gun metal colour and cut in a classic design which would not date, and a excellent price. Well I could write for ever how the experience made me feel, but I just need to mention the £18.00 bra which instantly gave me back my younger days.
All I can say is that Joy is a fantastic person and genuine with a passion for enabling people to feel confident and stylish. Joy was a saving grace for me. I shall look forward to shopping for my summer clothes with Joy; God willing I am here.
