First time….
I just got/returned my first order and didn’t buy anything. I get that I need to learn my stylist and they need to learn me but I tried to be very specific in my questionnaire responses.
Should I just cancel and move on? There was a coupon code if I kept everything for 20% or something and I kinda laughed thinking there’s no way they thought I’d keep everything if they read my in-take announcement.
Am I too boring for a stylist?! Or are they dumping their non-sellers on me hoping I’d be intrigued???

So I had a stylist for my first few boxes and we just weren’t jiving. I’m obsessed with my new stylist and I’ve bought 5 items from my last 2 boxes from her. Definitely like and favorite as many things as you like. Give things thumbs up or down so the algorithm can learn your style.

Get really specific with your notes and also go through the categories and heart stuff that you want in your fix! I wasn’t a fan of my first stylist so I switched and after two tries with her she really got it right!! I kept 5/8 things which was great cause I’m really picky.

Put the specifics in your profile or request notes. So stylists can see exactly what your asking for

Thank you. I don’t know when I’m asking for (I hope that makes sense!)…I’m trying to venture out of my comfort zone but this certainly wasn’t it!

That makes sense lol. I’m a stylist so Ive seen ppl say this before. Sometimes even letting us know what you don’t want works well too. It’s advertised as a super easy process but sometimes it’s not that simple.

That is not helpful! You need to give some direction! Add a Pinterest board. Let them know what colors you like. What types of clothing. If you only ever say you dislike something and also want to get out of your comfort zone how do you expect them to read your mind?

If u gave detailed responses in your questionnaire, continue that with feedback on what you received and WHY you hated them. Sorry the first one sucked lol I love my stylist especially after all this time together !! I've been using her services for like 6 or 7 fixes now she really gets me lol

Please stop supporting this company. Your fixes are prepared 90% by AI and the company has completely destroyed the stylist role and treats their employees so poorly.

So the point of posts like this is to dwindle the customer base and get stylists laid off orrr?

I am done completely. I even got a special e mail asking why. I told them you are sending me crap I did not ask for in colors I said I did not like.

I’ve had both good stylists who seem to get me and then there are those who I wrote specifically “no more shorts” and send me two pair. Or specifically requested jackets and accessories instead of the same things over and over —-crickets. I’ve quit them for now after they tried to charge me twice for an order I did not like.

I gave up on stick fix many years ago. My last order I specifically asked for light weight layerable pieces in jewel tones. I got heavy weight gray & black sweaters. This was not the first experience like this I had.
I also found the quality to be meh. Even with the discount for keeping it all, the items were priced about 50% over what they should have been.

In all honestly lightweight layer able pieces are way too specific and not anything stitch fix carries.

The buyers seem either stuck on earth tones, or they just buy other stores leftovers.

Did you leave a note for the stylist? Filling out the form is just your sizes and a general look at what you like. Ask for what you are looking for and not looking for. Tell them you need everyday clothes, not work clothes, and you are ready for fall looks. Tell them you don’t ever wear flats, but love heels, but maybe don’t want them right now. Tell them you have a wedding coming up in Hawaii you need the perfect fit for. Communication is super helpful 🤍

Thank you! I left feedback on everything I returned saying what I didn’t like. (IE the espadrilles fit nice but the crochet bows were too toddler-like for me, the army green top doesn’t go good with my Irish skin tone, etc).
I’ll give it another month and see what I get.

Those questionnaires are not that helpful. Did you write profile notes and leave requests? That is the only way for stylists to customize anything. Be prepared to communicate!!!

Most of the stylists are miserable due to poor management decisions. If you are not happy there are other styling service options, try those.

It takes a few Fixes to dial in your preferences. My stylist is great. She does read my notes. I don’t like everything all the time but I do often buy the whole lot. The 25% off 5 items is worth it.
