Interviewing immediately for polished, stylish, and well networked professionals.

You must be fearless when it comes to developing and maintaining relationships; a savvy business professional, who LOVES delivering IMPECCABLE customer service. I am looking for entrepreneurs who desire to build and embrace their own business in a dynamic and supportive corporate culture! This business is all about lifestyle, luxury, and value. We're an emerging Dallas based company, and we offer luxury custom men's apparel to clients in the comfort of their office or living room.

We�ll train you to become a fashion savant, helping men who are short on time, fashion impaired, or simply don't like shopping make great fashion choices seamlessly. No pun intended! You�ll deliver expert advice, fit your clients, help with color and fabric selections, complete the sell, and handle the administrative demands, which come when running your own small business, and we train the right people for it all!

Our Stylist's are organized, pliable, computer savvy, have a deep client base, and can devote a minimum of 15 hours a week (part-time) or more depending on your schedule and desire to make money!

Rather amazing in retail!

Your leadership skills and flexibility help to make you a successful Stylist with our company.

As a Stylist you're autonomous and "on-call" whenever you're in public, and you LOVE IT. You see opportunities for business everywhere, and you seize the moment to engage a prospective client about style or business.

Stylists own their own business, develop their own client base, and are paid on a lucrative commission and bonus structure basis with plenty of opportunity for growth and development.
Our Stylists have fun growing their businesses, servicing their clients, learning, and working in a team environment. There are no protected territories, so your business is as transient and flexible as you feel comfortable. If this sounds like an opportunity where you'd excel email me directly, sharing your resume and cover letter. Join a company that is changing lives!
