We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Myles K. Wren. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Myles K. below.

Myles K., appreciate you joining us today. Covid has brought about so many changes – has your business model changed?

The pandemic has definitely effected how everyone does business. I truly wondered early on into lockdown what the world would look like in it’s recovery state and how we (collectively and individually) could move forward. It’s quite unfortunate that a lot of businesses (big and small) had to close their doors and end their dream and it’s quite inspiring how a lot of businesses (big and small) pivoted to be able to equip people with things they need and things that truly just made us happy during such a dark time.

When I started my stylist business, I had already incorporated virtual services which came in handy! Being able to touch base with former clients was effortless and meeting new clients was fairly easy as well.

My main adjustment was service fees. Knowing that clients weren’t working or were on a budget caused me to think about reducing my prices to accommodate, which I was happy to do! I was just appreciative that people would want to spend their money on a service that wasn’t necessary per say but possibly something they had been wanting to do for along time but didn’t have the time until then to invest in.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I’m a Texas native, living in Dallas now for an entire DECADE (from Austin originally). I have always loved playing dress up (I still do) so starting this business was always a part of the the plan.

I define a personal stylist as someone that is experienced in providing style guidance for any person (professional, work from home, active) and has developed a keen eye for what compliments that person.

I just believe that there’s an outward transformation that takes place when someone feels confident and comfortable in what they are wearing and I really enjoy witnessing that change!

I work with any budget. I can assist in curating an entire wardrobe or for a special event. I work with men and/or women.

Consider me your stylish best friend :)

Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?

I love this question because I think that if your love language really plays a huge role in how you display appreciation to your team.

I LOVE to offer up words of affirmation. Sending text messages and writing cards to my team to let them know how thankful I am is how I easily/naturally maintain morale.

For someone else, giving gifts or spending quality time (doing something fun with their team) may be how they maintain high morale. I’d say do what’s natural to you anyway. Your work relationships aren’t any different than your personal one’s. You actually spend more time with your work team typically, so why not build quality relationships authentically.

With that, I like to keep communication open and free. I don’t want anyone I work with to feel burdened to come to me and talk to me.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I feel most rewarded when I have completed a job or have a repeat client. Once I’ve completed a job for someone, I feel accomplished, I feel overjoyed that I had an opportunity to do something that I truly love to do, and I like the clients response. Seeing someone’s perspective change because they have a new wardrobe is priceless. Seeing a woman step into her full glory because her clothes accentuate her body is gold! Seeing a man puff up his chest because he’s suited well is money! It’s so fun to see that.
