A personal stylist can do everything right and still end up in a fog of "wait, what did we agree to" once sessions start, shopping lists change, and money leaves the account. This styling contract keeps the basics in writing so the work stays practical: what got booked, what gets paid upfront, and what happens when plans shift or a session gets missed.

The contract spells out that the service is practical styling support rather than product sales, then narrows down what counts as a session and what prep materials need to show up before the first one. Clients see the payment timing and the 14-day invoice window, where clothing and alterations get paid separately, how packs get used and what happens to unused sessions, and where photo permission starts and stops. The wording also sets boundaries around access when sessions happen in a client’s home and draws a clear line on what personal styling isn’t.

  • I’ll use it alongside your accepted Connects the contract to an accepted proposal and any written notes, and explains the stylist’s role as practical support rather than product sales.
  • What you booked Defines what counts as a session, where sessions can happen, and what the client sends ahead of time so the first appointment isn’t guesswork.
  • Payment States that sessions are paid in advance, invoices are due within 14 days, and clothing, shoes, accessories, and alterations are paid separately unless agreed in writing.
  • Rescheduling and no-shows Points late-cancellation and no-show handling back to the invoice terms, and explains what happens if the stylist has to cancel.
  • Ending the project Covers ending the arrangement in writing and includes a Signature so both sides can confirm the terms.

Once the contract is in Plutio, you fill in your names, dates, and rates, then send it to a client to sign online. Signed terms land in one place with the same wording every time, leaving you to focus on outfits and shopping choices instead of rewriting policy emails.

We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.

What to include in a styling contract

PartWhat it covers

I’ll use it alongside your accepted

Ties the agreement back to an accepted proposal and any written notes, so the scope doesn’t drift once sessions start.

What you booked

Defines what a session can include and what the client provides beforehand, then anchors the booked session length and location to the booking details.

Payment

Explains upfront payment, the 14-day invoice due window, and which costs sit outside the styling fee unless you agree otherwise in writing.

Rescheduling and no-shows

Spells out how reschedules, late cancellations, and no-shows get handled using the notice window and fees stated on the invoice.

Using a pack

Describes how packs get used, where expiry and unused-session rules live, and when refunds do or don’t apply based on the invoice.

Being in your home

Covers access details, who else is present, and what happens when entry isn’t possible at the booked time.

What this is not

Sets boundaries around the service, including no guaranteed outcomes and no substitute for medical, mental health, or legal advice.

Photos and sharing

Defines consent for photos or video and confirms that declining or withdrawing permission doesn’t change the service being delivered.

Ending the project

Explains how either side ends the arrangement in writing and includes a Signature block to sign the agreement.

Who it is for

Personal stylists, wardrobe consultants, and personal shopping services booking sessions or packs and needing the terms in writing before the work begins.

The contract in full

I’ll use it alongside your accepted proposal (and any notes we both confirm in writing) so we’re on the same page about what I’m doing, what you’re doing, and how sessions run.

By booking, you’re confirming you’re hiring me to provide practical styling support, not to sell you products. You can expect a straightforward process: we start with what you already own, then build gaps and outfits around your real week, your budget, and what you actually wear.

What you booked

A session is scheduled time with me for personal styling work such as a closet edit and wardrobe audit, personal shopping (in-store or online), outfit planning, seasonal refresh planning, fit check, and alterations coordination. Each session lasts the length shown on your booking and happens at the location we agree (your home, a store, or virtual), and you’ve purchased the number of sessions listed on your invoice.

Before the first session, please send what I ask for in advance (typically outfit and closet photos, basic measurements, budget range, and upcoming meetings, events, or travel) and have the items you want help with available and easy to access.

Payment

Sessions are paid for in advance. If you’re booking a single session, it’s paid when you book it. If you’re buying a pack, the pack is paid before its first session.

I’ll send an invoice for any session or pack you book, and every invoice is payable within 14 days of its date. My styling fee covers my time and styling work only. Clothing, shoes, accessories, and alterations are separate and are paid by you directly to the store or tailor, unless you and I agree on a different arrangement in writing before we start.

Rescheduling and no-shows

If you need to reschedule, tell me as soon as you can so I can offer the time to someone else. My cancellation notice window and any late-cancellation or no-show fee are set by me and listed on your invoice. If you cancel inside that window, or you don’t show up, I’ll treat it as a late cancellation or no-show and handle it the way your invoice describes.

If I need to cancel for any reason, I’ll let you know as soon as I can and we’ll reschedule. If rescheduling won’t work, I’ll refund any session time you’ve paid for but didn’t receive.

Using a pack

A pack covers the number of sessions listed at purchase. Sessions are “used” when they are booked and take place, and I’ll help you schedule them in a rhythm that fits your calendar and what you’re trying to get done.

Any expiry period and any rules for unused sessions (for example, whether they carry over, can be paused, or can be transferred) are set by me and listed on your invoice. Refunds are only available if they’re listed on your invoice, and I don’t refund sessions that have already been delivered.

Being in your home

If a session is in your home, you’re responsible for making sure I can get in at the booked time. If you’re sharing keys, entry codes, or building access details, please hand them over directly to me in a way we both consider secure. I’ll only use access details to arrive for our booked session (or for a drop-off or pickup you’ve asked me to handle) and I won’t share them.

For safety and focus, tell me ahead of time who else will be there. If I can’t enter at the booked time, I’ll wait a reasonable amount of time and then treat it as a missed session, handled under the same late-cancellation or no-show terms listed on your invoice.

What this is not

Personal styling is practical support: wardrobe decisions, shopping guidance, outfit planning, and making your closet easier to use. It isn’t therapy, medical care, or a substitute for any health, mental health, or legal professional.

I can help you make clearer choices and reduce second-guessing, but I can’t guarantee a specific result, and I can’t promise that a garment will fit a certain way after alterations. If something you’re dealing with needs medical, mental health, or other professional support, it’s on you to find the right qualified person, and I’ll stay in my lane.

Photos and sharing

Sometimes photos or short videos help me work, like documenting outfits you liked, tracking gaps, or building an outfit grid you can use later. I’ll only take photos or videos of you, your home, or your wardrobe with your permission.

If you ever prefer that I don’t take images, or you want me to stop, tell me and I will. Saying no, or changing your mind later, won’t change the service you’ve booked or how I work with you. I also won’t post or share your images publicly unless you give me clear permission to do that.

Ending the project

You or I can end this arrangement by telling the other in writing. The notice period is set by me and I’ll confirm it with you in writing at the time, since what’s reasonable depends on what we have booked and how far out sessions are scheduled.

If we end things, any sessions you’ve already paid for and haven’t used yet will be handled based on what you’ve booked and what your invoice says about refunds or pack rules. I may also stop working with you immediately if your conduct makes sessions unsafe, if there’s harassment, or if I’m repeatedly unable to access a booked location. In that case, I’ll refund any prepaid session time I haven’t delivered, unless your invoice states otherwise.
