CLIENT STORIES

I recently had the immense pleasure of (working with) Hina (on my wardrobe’s colour palette), and she is one of the most gifted and generous personal stylists I’ve ever encountered. She approaches colour not as a rigid formula, but as a living, breathing language that we can all learn to speak fluently—and joyfully. Using the colour wheels and seasonal palettes as guides, she teaches with both clarity and creativity, showing how to interpret and adapt these tools to reflect our essence, not anyone else’s expectations. What stood out most was how deeply she believes that colour is something we deserve to enjoy for ourselves. She educates not just on what colours “work,” but on what colour can do—to lift us, embolden us, soften us, or reflect us more truthfully to the world. It’s not about trends or fitting in; it’s about reclamation, play, and personal power. She is an extraordinarily kind and intuitive soul—gentle in her language, generous with her time, and endlessly collaborative in her approach. For those of us in marginalized bodies, her presence is a rare and sacred kind of safe space. She sees you, she affirms you, and she celebrates you exactly as you are. I left the session feeling not just more informed, but more myself. It was an honour to spend this time with her, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves through the transformative magic of colour.

I can confidently say that it is the best investment I have ever made in myself. I am already planning to use this service again for any special events and wardrobe updates I may want in the future. What sets Heensie apart is the genuine care they have for others. From the very beginning of my interactions with Heensie, it was evident that they truly wanted to help me get the most from the experience. Even before I committed to the service, they were kind, helpful, and responsive to my MANY questions. They helped me pick the best package to suit my needs without trying to upsell services that did not align with my goals, were very accommodating of my budgetary restrictions, and took great care to understand my style, making intentional decisions to curate my unique wardrobe. My entire experience, from the very first email to my last video call, was overwhelmingly positive. Working with them has truly helped me to feel like my best self, and the positive impact it has had on my life has been truly invaluable. Before this experience, I hated shopping and getting dressed because my clothing did not make me feel good about myself. I had wanted to work with a stylist for years because I struggled to develop my personal style independently, but I found the idea nerve-wracking. I had never used a service like this and was quite nervous that it would be an uncomfortable or unpleasant experience. I could not have been more wrong. Heensie made the entire experience feel like a conversation with a friend. They not only helped me discover a defined style that aligns perfectly with my personality but also encouraged me to try new things, and significantly boosted my confidence. There has been a profound transformation in my relationship with fashion and shopping, and more importantly, I feel good about my body for the first time in my life. I eagerly looked forward to every Zoom call with them, and as the experience came to an end, I felt genuinely sad. For those of you who appreciate more quantifiable examples, let me tell you that the impact on my professional career has been undeniable. I honestly believe that it played a role in my recently achieving a promotion into a managerial role. As a feminine presenting person in IT, I have always struggled to be taken seriously by my male colleagues, but I have seen a substantial improvement in this since starting my personal styling journey. After nearly 12 years in this industry, I am finally treated like a knowledgeable and respectable IT professional, all thanks to the improved confidence and more polished appearance my new wardrobe has provided. If you are on the fence about working with a personal stylist, I encourage you to go for it. Whether you believe it or not, your wardrobe impacts so much more than just your appearance, and for those who are able, it truly is an investment in becoming your best self. There are many personal stylists out there, but with Heensie, you simply cannot go wrong. They are a JOY to work with, and I cannot wait until I have the opportunity to work with them again.

I'm 64 years old and I didn't know if (Hina would be) suited to work with a "senior". Fortunately, Hina came through with flying colors. 40 years ago I attended a Color Me Beautiful party and I found that to be beneficial. But, what Hina brought to the table was mind blowing. I was so impressed with her input and with her knowledge of color on so many levels, from fabrics to wear, to jewelry, to make up, to hair color and to frames for my eyeglasses, to name a few. She has a great personality and she loves feedback which I so appreciated. It was definitely a back and forth experience. Meaning, she would share her input and I would ask questions or I would share my thoughts on her input. She was so receptive to hear what you had to say which was wonderful. Hina is passionate about what she does and it shines through beautifully! She has definitely found her niche and she most certainly excels at what she does!! I think anyone would be blessed to experience what Hina has to offer!

I've had the pleasure of working with Hina on a couple of sessions so far and have loved every second of my time with them. They have a way of taking what feels like a big jumbled mess in my head and really organizing it into a theme. I have been so sold that I've signed on for more services working with Hina on some pretty sensitive areas, and I have full trust that they are the right person to lead me through this project with grace. Truly cannot recommend Hina's services enough. Sessions are so fun and thoughtfully planned that it completely reinvigorated my experience with my style. She is absolutely wonderful at holding space for you where you're at.

The lookbook really hit the mark for me. I had no idea what to expect and I was so impressed. I can honestly say that I had never considered even one of these outfits, and it is so cool to see how they styled pieces that I see daily and constantly overlook. I was convinced that I wanted to do a ton of shopping. I went into this experience ready to invest a few grand on new clothes. Working with Hina has made me realize how what I really needed was a new perspective and a few essentials that serve me really well. I appreciate that Hina never tried to upsell me on new items or even more services. I’ve gone to stylists at stores before and it always felt like their suggestions were a bit biased, and that they were mostly focused on me purchasing new things. This experience was the opposite of that. I could tell that Hina took the time to really comb through my closet and only make suggestions if it served multiple purposes in my wardrobe. The proof is in the pudding. My outfits are amazing. I am constantly complimented on now for my style. I also saved over $1.5k on my original wardrobe/styling budget, and have been able to invest that in other areas of my life and self-care, which I really appreciated.

I had such a wonderful experience working with Hina. She put together such fantastic outfit options using what I already had in my closet in new ways I never would have thought of. Hina totally understood my style, and I feel so confident in the looks she put together. Whether you are looking to define your style, wanting some more options from your current wardrobe, or hoping to learn more about styling yourself, Hina is an incredible person to achieve all of those things with and more!

Working with Hina is one of the best investments I've made! She has a great eye for style, and she brings a deep level of empathy and thoughtfulness to the process.

bella hollman

I truly cannot recommend Hina’s work enough. They have such knowledge and care for each client, and I have never been asked such thoughtful questions. I not only left feeling seen and heard, but I was thinking about my style and relationship to my body differently. Hina helped me to build more confidence in navigating shopping and dressing. Such a worthwhile service to invest in!

meghan wray

What an INCREDIBLE experience. I did a style discovery and colour analysis session with Hina and it was better than I could've ever expected. There was so much detail and thought put into both sessions. It felt so bespoke and like Hina really listened to me and cared about my personal experience. I feel a lot more at ease going forward with my wardrobe and I can't wait to work with them again.

My session with Hina was such a pleasure -- I was looking forward to it for weeks and I was not disappointed. Hina quickly helped me narrow in on the root of my concerns about my wardrobe, fashion habits, and the way I view myself, and she took me through a series of really eye-opening exercises to help me define a fashion future for myself. The notes and materials she sent me after the session were super actionable and I love that she included value-adds like links to specific brands and items with her commentary. I would definitely recommend a consultation to anyone who is interested in becoming more aware of and intentional about how they approach styling themselves -- especially if they feel clueless about fashion, like I did!

I worked with Hina on style discovery, a colour analysis, and a wardrobe audit. Working together was such a great form of self-care. Hina very patiently helped me put a definition to my style and which colours work best for me. They have given me all the tools I need to be able to build outfits that suit my style and colours so that I can be self-sufficient with my style. I am so much more confident now with my outfitting. Hina was incredibly generous with their time.

I loved my style session with Hina! I signed up for an hour session and was surprised by how much we were able to cover. Hina helped me put a cohesive description together that summarizes my style which has already helped me in putting together outfits and purchasing new clothes. I plan to sign up for more sessions and would recommend Hina’s services!

I got myself a Style Discovery Session for myself as a little birthday present and I had the best time with Hina! She was kind, thorough, well-informed and just overall such a gem to work with. I got to explore my style and even get a little deeper in the session with figuring out my overall vibe and it was such a fun and insightful experience. I highly recommend you get yourself a session with Hina!
