Personal Shopper Experience

5/2/2016

173. Have you ever had a Personal Shopper Experience? Have you ever met one? I had the honor and the pleasure of meeting one myself and it was a dream come true. I was asked to be analyzed by a team of women who were training to become personal shoppers and for almost an hour I was asked, measured and analyzed my likes and dislikes. They genuinely show interest in how you feel and their policy is “grow throughout your image”. I felt really comfortable and pampered by the Personal Shopper Deluxe Team and especially by its Managing Director Piluka de Echegaray who is an absolute adorable person. She makes you feel taken care of at all times and is a pleasure to deal with. I strongly recommend checking our their services and experience this unique and modern new concept!
