THE EXCEPTION | PARIS | JANUARY 14–15, 2027
A wealthy stylist understands the art of serving affluent clientele, the unspoken codes of luxury, the psychology of premium buyers, and how to build a reputation that attracts extraordinary opportunities.
She knows how to confidently guide a client with a $30,000+ wardrobe budget, navigate the nuances of affluent social environments, and deliver the expertise and experience that make her indispensable.
She's selective about the media who reach out to her, the marketing she creates, and the clients she chooses to work with, and she attracts the best clients.Â
And during THE EXCEPTION, you'll develop an intimate understanding of what it takes to operate at this level.
Understand how wealthy clients think, shop, and invest in their wardrobes. Discover what they value, what they expect from premium service, and how to confidently serve clients with expansive budgets.
Explore the subtle social cues, dress codes, communication styles, and expectations of affluent environments. Learn to recognize the details that matter so you can confidently advise clients who move through these worlds.
Deepen your understanding of what clothing communicates, how it influences perception, and the sophisticated styling knowledge that makes you an invaluable advisor to premium clients.
Discover how to elevate your brand, communicate your expertise, and create marketing that attracts affluent buyers who value exceptional service and are excited to invest in it.
Learn how to position yourself as an expert the media wants to feature and seek out, develop compelling story angles, and pursue opportunities that expand your recognition, credibility, and reach.
Explore the pricing, strategies, and business decisions that support premium clientele, greater profitability, and the freedom to enjoy the wealth you're creating.
Elevate the way you think about your expertise, wealth, and what's possible for your business. Develop the standards, self-concept, and decision-making that support the next level of success you're ready to pursue.
During the mastermind, I'll help you uncover opportunities to increase your profitability, elevate your positioning, attract more affluent clients, expand your visibility, and create the kind of demand that makes your expertise highly sought-after.
I'll help you recognize opportunities you may never have considered, uncover new ways to grow your revenue, and develop the strategies to elevate your business to an entirely new level.
And of course, you'll have the opportunity to ask me your questions, receive direct feedback, and work through the decisions that matter most to your growth.

For 19 years, I've built an extraordinary career doing what I love, from being sought out by major media outlets internationally, teaching in colleges, to having clients fly me out for my styling expertise.
I've been the go-to style expert for CTV News, Breakfast Television, Global News, CBC's Steven & Chris, Huffington Post, Chatelaine, Toronto Star, Cosmopolitan TV, and many more. I've also delivered hundreds of workshops across North America, sharing my expertise in style, image, and confidence.
For over a decade, I've mentored personal stylists to create extraordinary success of their own, and the results have been incredible.
My clients have celebrated $47,000 months, doubled their revenue, secured million-dollar-plus contracts, attracted affluent clientele, landed exciting media features and brand partnerships, and built businesses beyond what they once thought possible.
My approach brings together image psychology, sophisticated styling expertise, premium positioning, marketing, media, and the strategies behind a highly profitable business.
I'll share what I've learned about attracting premium clients, commanding higher rates, building a coveted reputation, and creating the kind of success that gives you the freedom to live beautifully.
I cannot wait to share it all with you in Paris!


“Christie Ressel’s Ascension Mastermind was nothing short of life-changing. I came in looking for clarity—and left with way more than I bargained for. The experience was elegant, chic, fun, and totally approachable. Christie’s authenticity is magnetic, and she holds space in a way that makes you feel instantly seen and inspired.
Getting to connect with other amazing stylists was such a bonus. Since working with Christie, I’ve completely elevated my business—making moves with my value at the center—and it’s been incredible. I’m not the same stylist I was when I started… and that’s the best part.
If you’re feeling the pull, trust it—this is one of those rare experiences that truly changes everything when you say yes to yourself.”- Andrea B.

"I set new goals for my business and knew if I wanted to level up exponentially, I needed to invest in a coach who has the receipts for building a very successful business as a stylist. I am so glad I invested in Christie Ressel and the mastermind experience.... I left with clarity on my offers, a new copy for my website, a completely new funnel that will attract my ideal clients, a brand new solid offer and every step to deliver that offer successfully. One of the most impactful elements was the mindset work that Christie includes. So powerful to readjust my mindset. I loved the intimate group, getting individual support for my business, and learning from others. Immersing myself in luxury and seeing what’s possible expanded my mind and what’s possible for me.
If you are serious about your styling business and ready to move to the next level, this is the investment you need to make. Thank you, Christie, for curating such an impactful experience."- Renee L.

The affluent clients. The coveted reputation. The extraordinary opportunities. The wealth and freedom to live life on your terms.
