Create your Personal StylE

Do you ever wish a personal stylist from the 30s or 40s would magically appear to help you get dressed for your day or special event? Like a Fairy Godmother played by Ethel Merman.

Someone to help you put together the perfect, period-correct (or just super cute) outfit?

Someone to show you how to do your makeup and hair so you look like you stepped off a period film set?

Well hello there. I’m Christine ~ The Glambassador, and for almost 30 years (yup, I started young), I’ve been styling myself in vintage style, hair, makeup, clothing, and accessories. My personal style recipe combines authentic looks from the 1930s and 1940s with a dash of 1950s thrown in for spice. As a curvaceous dame, I mostly wear reproduction clothing, but I’m always on the lookout for those genuine vintage garments. 

Although I’m a licensed esthetician and makeup artist, I’m completely self-taught at vintage hair. So I know the challenges of doing your own hair, especially with more demanding vintage styles. We’re not talking “beachy waves” here that you can do with a curling iron. We’re talking finger waves, Victory rolls and wet sets.

I am so delighted to offer Vintage Styling Sessions to help you pull together your hairstyles, makeup and outfits, whether it’s for a special occasion or everyday enjoyment. 

  • Custom Styling or Beauty Session

    These sessions can be customized for exactly what you need. Here are a few examples of a custom session.

    We can chat about what hairstyles might suit you

    Got a specific hairstyle or two you need help with? I’ll walk you through it and help troubleshoot any issues you are having

    Are you new to dressing in vintage and want some tips and tricks to get you started?

    Are you a curvy gal and worried about how vintage/repro attire might look on you? I’ll give you some of my tips from many years of experience

    1 hour ~ $70

  • Vintage Fashion & Style Session

    Choose 3-4 of your favorite pieces, and we’ll raid your closet to build complete outfits around them. Got a new pair of American Duchess shoes? We’ll build up from there. Got a sweet dress from eShakti and want to make it look straight outta Ginger Rogers’ wardrobe? We’ll find just the right accessories. We’ll be as period-accurate as you want to go, whether you’ve got vintage, repro, or retro pieces.

    This is for you if: You’ve got a closet full of fun things, but aren’t 100% sure you can put the right pieces together for a whole glorious outfit.

    1 hour 30 minutes ~ $100

  • Vintage Hair: Wet Sets & Styles Made Doable

    Love the look of a wet set, but can’t quite manage a successful style on your own? I’ve been there (we all start somewhere!). The day of our call, wash your hair and I’ll be there to guide you through the wet set process. From there, we can discuss the whole brush-out and styling process.

    Alternately, if you struggle with the brush-out portion, you can do the wet-set on your own, and we’ll meet for the brush-out when it’s dry.

    1 hour ~ $70

  • Vintage Makeup: A live makeup tutorial with just you and me

    If you’ve got a few shades of eyeshadow, a good eyeliner and a red lip, then you’ve got a good start for what you need to create a beautiful vintage look. Choose your favorite decade and I will walk you through how to look like you walked through time.

    Extra! Extra!: You’ll also get my list of favorite beauty products, brands and colors.

    45 minutes ~ $55

TESTIMONIALS

“I've been dressing in 20s, 30s and 40s vintage for a few years now (finally living my lifelong dream of old-school glamor!), but it's always been a struggle to feel put-together. I've got stacks of vintage hats and a closet dedicated to clothes, but styling outfits even when you have great pieces is hard. And when you invest so much time and money in each piece (true vintage or repro), it's disheartening to still feel like you're not quite nailing the look.

Christine has such amazing style, and an incredible eye for accessorizing. In an hour-long online video call, we were able to raid my closet and create outfits around my favorite shoes and hats, in combinations I never would have thought of. Not only did I come out with 6 completely put-together outfits, I have a whole new perspective on how to play with color. I can’t wait to get help on my wet-sets next!”

“Recently I have decided to embrace a vintage style, finding Christine has been such an immense help. She was prompt in responding to my booking request. The custom session was amazing! Christine immediately made me feel at ease, she is so easy to talk to. I came away from the session with a clearer sense of my personal style and a list of resources on where to find these items. Her services are a great value to anyone looking to refine their vintage style.”

~ Megan C.

“In one of your great videos, you demonstrated your cleansing routine and I wanted to know more about that. I booked a 1:1 session with you because I needed a bit of help with my daily facial care routine. You asked me what products I used and what my current routine was. Together we went over each step and product and what your ideas were how to improve my routine.

For me it was very helpful and after our session I slowly replaced my products for the ones you recommended. I also changed some things in my routine. Within a few weeks my skin was getting better and better. So, thank you Christine for helping me and being such a wonderful overdressed gal.

PS: Because you are a bit famous, I was nervous before we had the session but you are such a friendly person it wasn’t needed to be nervous.”

“Having a private hair styling consultation with the Glambassador was literally life changing! Christine walked me through each step of the process  from the brush out to the final styling. I have now found ‘my’ style and gained tremendous confidence in my vintage me! ”
