What does an AICI Image Consultant do?

AICI image consultants are masters of personal power and professional presentation. Here’s how they put their expertise to work for you:

Coaching You to be Your Best
As an independent professional, an image consultant guides you in presenting yourself to your best advantage and in expressing your highest potential.
Whether you’re an individual or a corporation, an image consultant can teach you how to polish your professional image in three areas:

1. Your Physical Appearance

- Grooming, hair, makeup, colour, wardrobe and personal shopping

2. Your behaviour- Personality, stress management, etiquette and protocol.

3. Your communication skills

- Diction, body language, relationship building, and conflict resolution

An image consultant utilizes the learning environment that you find most comfortable and convenient, whether it’s personal consultation in your office or home, a coaching session over the phone, a presentation to your executive team, a seminar for your employees, or a workshop at your annual conference.

Leveraging a Wealth of Disciples
Because many people want the advantage of making a unique impression in many areas of their lives, image consulting has grown to include many specialties.

An image consultant can be a spokesperson, a fashion show coordinator, a feng shui expert, a wardrobe consultant, a color specialist, a personal shopper, a clothing designer, a hair stylist, a makeup artist, a bridal make-up specialist, a uniform designer, an etiquette consultant, or a branding specialist – to name just a few.

Many image consultants specialize in the needs of certain kinds of clients – from politicians and media personalities to trainers and speakers; from the tall or the full-figured to the extremely petite; from men or women to teens or children.

An image consultant might also market clothing, accessories, eyewear, make-up, and books or information products.

Developing Expertise to Serve You Better
AICI image consultants are committed to ongoing education and personal development. Thanks to networking and mentorship opportunities within our community, an AICI member offers you not only the latest tips and tactics for appearance and communication, but also time-proven strategies and secrets to develop and strengthen your unique personal power.

Certification helps you quickly identify a candidate’s level of experience. AICI evaluates image consultants at three levels:

1. Certified Image Master (AICI, CIM)

2. Certified Image Professional (AICI, CIP)

3. First Level Certification (AICI, FLC)

You can recognize a consultant’s certification level by the designation after his or her name. For example:

Madelyn Masters, AICI, CIM – (Certified Image Master) This is AICI’s highest level of certification. It identifies exceptional, dedicated consultants, who have a recognized brand in the industry and demonstrate exceptional levels of competence in their own successful image businesses. To earn the CIM certification consultants must maintain CIP certification for five years and have an approved CIM Application and professional portfolio. CIM certification confirms a consultant’s status as an industry leader and respected expert.

Paul Professional, AICI, CIP - (Certified Image Professional) This is AICI’s mid-level certification. It identifies experienced, professional image consultants who own established image businesses.  To earn CIP certification consultants must pass the FLC test and submit proof of education, experience and ownership of an image business. CIP status recognizes competent consultants with extensive hands on experience.

Carolyn Consultant, AICI - (First Level Certification)  This is AICI’s first level certification. It identifies consultants who have passed the FLC entry level written exam which measures core knowledge of personal image consulting. Consultants are encouraged to take this test after they have completed the initial image consulting training. AICI status recognizes consultants who have made a commitment to professional development.

When you engage a certified professional, you can be sure they are committed, knowledgeable, and experienced in producing results.
