What Graduates Are Saying about the Stoltz Image Institute:

I contacted numerous places for training information and, after an involved comparison, decided on Elaine for the following reasons:

  1. Most inclusive curriculum with very clear learning objectives that matched not only what I needed to learn as an image consultant, but also the topics I needed for the certification exam.
  2. Elaine’s hands-on teaching style allowed me to master all the information, including the business aspect, in a week.
  3. Elaine is a CIM, past president and VP of Certification of AICI.
  4. The logistics of getting to Dallas/Fort Worth were more reasonable than other places.
  5. Elaine did not begin her career in the fashion field and yet has done extremely well in the business. She has demonstrated that it can be done!

I really had my expectations met and exceeded with the quality, pace, and thoroughness of this training both from a learning aspect and from the opportunity to practice during the training.

Elaine's breadth and depth of knowledge is absolutely staggering, and it's evident that she genuinely wants every student to succeed. It was truly one of the very best classes I've ever taken on any topic – Elaine is a naturally gifted teacher who makes it easy for the student to learn even the most complex concepts. I really enjoyed the insider tips and secrets she gave us, too. She only adds to my excitement for the field of image consulting, and I would recommend her courses to anyone.

Elaine’s generous heart has been a lifesaver for me when I’ve wanted to confirm that I have a client’s color fan perfectly set out. She’s a wonderful mentor and teacher. She is generous with her time and advice as she has answered numerous questions since I completed her training. Elaine is a beautiful person inside and out that sincerely cares about the success of her students. I admire her a great deal as an instructor, businesswoman, and image consultant. I am truly blessed to have been trained by Elaine, the best of the best! As a result, I have wonderful success stories to share!

I chose the Stoltz Image Institute because I liked the fact it was so hands-on. The small class size and the ability to practice on actual clients ensured so much personalized attention and help. Elaine and her staff were so friendly, inviting, and helpful in answering my questions before I’d even enrolled, that I knew it would be a warm learning environment where everyone was focused on my success. I also found the length of training to be advantageous. One week was enough time to give me the breadth and depth for a great foundation, yet it wasn’t overwhelming. Overall, Elaine’s training is the best beginning I could have imagined for my new career!

- Stacie Brower of Image Expressions: An Image Consultancy

If a person is serious about taking their image consulting business to the next level, I highly recommend Elaine Stoltz’s image training! It was not only the course content that made the training worthwhile, but it was also the caliber of participants and the stimulating discussions during the course work that made it so beneficial.

I decided to learn Elaine's Customized Color system because I couldn't imagine using the "Seasons" color system, popularized in the 80s. In today's multi-cultural world, there are literally thousands of different combinations of hair, eye, body and blush colors in our population. I think it's impossible to categorize everyone into only one of a few seasonal groups. Our members in AICI represent at least 26 different countries and cultures. There are 195 different countries worldwide. Imagine all the different skin tones found in these countries around the world and right here in the United States. For me, a customized color system is the only way I can provide an effective Color Analysis for my clients.
