Do you have a teen in need of a little more confidence or even a tidy-up? Is their birthday coming up soon? According to a recent survey, only 25% of teenagers turn to their parents for advice compared to 57% who turn to their friends for personal advice. One of the most important life skills a parent can give to a child is confidence within their peer group and a solid self belief in themselves. One way to achieve this is to ensure your lovable teen learns which colours and styles suit them best.

Body image is of great importance to us all, but at no time in our lives is it more important than when we are teenagers. To teenagers, self-image and physical appearance are often the main focus of their attention and so it is crucial to help them, wherever possible, to discover more about themselves and to feel more confident in their growing and very important developing years.

For anyone, having a positive body image means being happy with the way you look, knowing your body's capabilities but also accepting its imperfections. How a teenager feels about their body can really affect how they feel about themselves and how confident they feel with their peers.

Every teenager, whether they know it yet or not, wants to know that they will always be able to find something stylish in their cupboard whether for a date, meeting friends, first job and work experience or just to look 'cool' walking the dog in the park. Speed of retrieval of these items can also be a factor! They also need to learn how to be adept at sensible clothes shopping for the latest fashions at reasonable prices. Learning how to achieve the catwalk look at high street prices is an art.

Style consultations are not just for adult women. Teenagers can really benefit from a fun makeover experience. You might get everything else wrong in your teenager's eyes but a colour consultation will not be one of them!
