What is a personal shopper?
You might have heard of the term “personal shopper” once or twice. More than likely, you assumed it was for very wealthy people. But think again. While that may have once been the case, Leonisa has begun to offer personal styling services free of charge. It’s a win-win, after all. The customer receives a tailored shopping experience and leaves feeling utterly pampered and confident in their purchase. And Leonisa gets to help the customer choose the perfect garment, knowing they will walk away satisfied, potentially leave a glowing review, and even become a loyal repeat customer.
But what is a personal shopper, exactly? And more to the point, what can they do for your fashion tastes and style? Discover what a personal shopper can do for you and your wardrobe. Plus, meet Leonisa’s four online stylists who are always here to offer free consultations. Here are several ways Leonisa’s personal shoppers and online stylists can help you.
What Is a Personal Shopper?
Personal shoppers are essentially consultants who can provide individual shoppers with handheld customer service and undivided attention. We know that choosing the right underwear is not always an easy task, and there are so many options. Most of the time, we choose panties that are stylish but might not be the best fit for our body. That's why receiving the advice of an expert is a smarter way to buy, ensuring that we choose the ideal garments for our body type and needs. Fortunately, our personal shopper service goes beyond the physical store. Leonisa also offers virtual personal shoppers, where you can get in touch through email, phone and even schedule a virtual chat.
A Time Saver
One of the best ways a personal shopper can assist is by saving you valuable time. Think about it: How much time do you spend on average hunting down the perfect garment, only to have to return itbecause it simply didn’t fit or the color just wasn’t what you envisioned? Instead, once you describe the goal and what you’re looking for, a personal shopper can offer numerous suggestions. It saves you valuable time browsing the web for hours on end or getting sore feet hitting the pavement store after store.
An Attentive Listener
Our personal shoppers are attentive to each customer they meet. Before they even begin the process of finding you the perfect garment to complete a look, they need to understand your unique tastes, discovering what you like and dislike. Some personal shoppers are wise enough to determine this in your personality and a single ensemble you’re currently wearing. However, over the phone, it’s definitely more about listening and advising you as a friend.
A Body Expert
Whether you are pear-shaped, apple-shaped or have an hourglass figure, each woman’s body shape is unique. Therefore, a personal shopper must be an expert in body shapes, knowing exactly what styles and cuts of garments will look best on you. Because the truth is that many women just don’t know.
In the same vein, personal shoppers must also understand how certain clothes and materials flex and hang. They must also have an understanding of how to pick a well-constructed garment that will flatter particular body types. Personal shoppers must even understand which colors complement specific skin tones and hair colors, guiding customers toward an agreeable hue.
An Adventurous Friend
Personal shoppers are friendly with customers and good listeners. It’s true. However, they are also there to pull you out of your comfort zone. They can give you advice, but also make you a bit more adventurous and try a particular style of cut or color that you may never have considered. That’s why we call Leonisa personal shoppers your Style Confidants. People can often get in a fashion rut, wearing what’s tried and true and bound to work. But, with a little trust and expert advice, a stylist and personal shopper might surprise you and make you feel sexier and more confident than ever.
A Confidence Booster
Above all, a personal shopper is a confidence booster. While it can be intimidating to allow someone to examine your body as closely as a doctor, a personal shopper will respect your personal boundaries and make you feel at ease. They understand that customers can often feel insecure about particular traits of their body, too. But a personal shopper will act like a supportive friend who’s there to help steer you in the right direction and give you a boost of confidence at the same time. They understand that each woman’s body is unique and their goal is to make you feel amazing in your own skin.

As a Style Confidant, she likes to think that underwear speaks for us, representing each woman’s essence and giving them complete confidence.
Melissa Restrepo
Melissa, or Meli, loves fashion and her work at Leonisa, where she gets to connect with thousands of women. Lace undergarments are her favorite type of intimates and she adores lace bralettes. Most of all, when it comes to fashion, she wants to feel comfortable and sexy all at once, all the time. As a stylist, Meli tries to surprise women with exactly what they need, giving them confidence.
Alejandra Hinestroza
Alejandra is a risk-taker when it comes to fashion. She’s obsessed with animals, therefore animal prints (naturally), and is obsessed with color, even though she loves black underwear. To her, underwear is intimate, but a way to show the whole world who you are. Alejandra believes that when women practice self-love, they look that much more beautiful. And she wants to change the lives of women, giving them self-love as a friendly voice that offers fashion tips.
Luz Maria Gomez
Luz Maria offers an honest opinion when it comes to critiquing looks and notices even the tiniest details. She also likes to propose to women different looks and even hairstyles–anything that will elevate your look! Her own personal style leans toward comfortable loose clothing and underwear that offers freedom and relaxation.
