Testimonials

Hayley has invented a perfect business for herself, Smartfit. Here is a woman that long ago over a period of time gathered various skills and knowledge that would make her the perfect stylist. With Hayley, you get the knowledge that encompasses every aspect to make you feel comfortable so that you feel you are in the hands of an expert, and you are.
Hayley is like a mysterious all-knowing mystic, able to spot things we never think about.
From the style personality questionnaire, the color co-ordination and how it matches both your personality and therefore your deemed season, be it Summer, Autumn, Winter, or Spring. The end result is she gets it right, those years of experience and talent creating the new you.
I saw Hayley some months ago now when I had nothing but old baggy jeans and little else to match. To come away with several screen-printed tee shirts, dress and casual shirts, two pairs of stylised jeans, socks, snazzy shoes, and a bomber jacket to match my season.
So, I waited before writing this review because I wanted to see what the end result was months down the track. What effect all this had on me as a person because it’s not just about the clothes.. which look cool, but how it makes us feel, how we get noticed.
I can safely say my confidence grew and my spirit rose, it was the beginning of getting back my mojo. Hayley cares about us clients, it’s not just a job to her, but a way of life. To remind us that we are unique, to be authentic selves and learn what makes us a smartfit.
My hat goes off to you Hayley, wishing you all the best and success in business, long live Smartfit.
Worth the time and effort that goes into making the sessions enjoyable, educational, coming away feeling like a million bucks.

I just loved my time with Hayley! Having the “full package” (I’m sure it has a proper name!) has been the best investment of time and money. Everything in my wardrobe mixes and matches and it’s actually exciting deciding what to wear instead of dreading the experience each morning. Knowing and being confident about my personal style and colors is very free-ing. Thanks, Hayley! xx. Liz

I have been on such an amazing journey with Hayley in the last few weeks. She has found the ‘me’ inside and helped me build the confidence to bring it out. I had ‘The Works’ and we had so much fun doing hair, make-up, and clothes. Don’t procrastinate like I did or give in to low self-esteem. If you’re thinking about having a professional alongside you to help you be your best self, Hayley is what you need … now!

Hayley is hands down amazing. Initially, I had reservations about doing the works package, but after having 2 kids within 3 years I had no clothes (other than maternity and breastfeeding-friendly items – or what I did have was very old and outdated) and no identity. It was something I did for myself. Turns out it’s been great for our whole family. I’m now confident in what I wear, love my clothes, and feel so much better in every way. Learning about wearing the right colors and styles with clothes that actually fit has been invaluable. I can’t thank Hayley enough for making me feel and look amazing! Best money ever spent. Booking a summer shop is a no-brainer. I wish everyone I know could benefit from this!

I have a corporate background so have tended to dress to “fit-in”. You might say I presented an inauthentic image in an inauthentic world. I opted for Smartfit’s Works Package with Hayley, and she took me on a journey of discovery – which colours suited me, or didn’t; which styles suited my body shape, and didn’t; hair style – the lot.
My wardrobe needed a significant makeover and we went shopping together – she showed me how to choose clothes and where to shop inexpensively. The process was at times challenging – for example when I discovered how those two new shirts I recently bought really didn’t suit me at all, nor that favourite old jacket. What made it all possible was that Hayley demonstrated why something did or didn’t work and I could see it for myself. So it’s an education for life.
We’re taught in business that first impressions count yet we invest little effort into doing this well. For the courageous amongst you I strongly recommend you place your trust in Hayley as she takes you on a journey of self-discovery. My new “look” has drawn attention including comments about looking younger which, to someone in their late fifties, makes me smile.

My partner and I have used Hayley from Smartfit since 2017. We both hated to shop and didn’t know what colours look good on each of us. We didn’t have the time to find the right pieces and fit. She made the process of shopping and buying so easy. Hayley was so helpful and understood our personalities so much so, that we eventually used her to help us decorate our entire 5 bedrooms, 2 lounge home and we couldn’t be happier. 
We didn’t know where to start.  My partner and I have different personalities and styles. We both had different views on how the house should be styled. Hayley listened to both of our wants and concerns and came up with beautiful concepts we both loved.  Each room had to be different and have its own theme, but also flow easily from space to space. In the lounge with the fireplace, we wanted a cozy cabin feel. Somewhere we could snuggle up on the couch, watch a movie and feel the warmth of the fire. We also wanted to be able to host parties and watch sports in the room. A room that was beautiful and practical. Our winter room. 
Our second lounge had to be different. It has 4 walls, 3 with windows and a sliding glass door opening to the backyard. We wanted more of a summer feel. Somewhere to open up the doors, have cocktails. Enjoy the view and breeze from outside. Again we wanted to be able to host gatherings with our friends and family. She kept that room light and fresh. All of our bedrooms and bathrooms have different aesthetics. But all are welcoming and beautiful. She nailed it all!  Hayley stayed within our budget and the results are amazing. About 2 years later we had her design a layout for our outdoor seating area. A beautiful extension of our indoor space to outdoors. We continue to use her for our wardrobe updates and other home improvement projects. She has provided her services to our close friends and they love their results as well. We can’t recommend Hayley enough!!

Hi hit 40, my kids are getting older, and I am in a different place in life. I had no idea what I liked wearing and what looked good. I would end up walking around a shop and buying something that I hadn’t even tried on and would never look at myself in the mirror before I left home. My wardrobe was full of these clothes.
My parents bought me “The Works Package” with Hayley at Smartfit for my 40th birthday.
It has actually changed my life!!! Hayley showed me which colors worked for me, helped me understand what I like wearing and why, and why most of my clothes weren’t working for me.
There was no pressure to wear things that yes, may have suited me and my shape but I didn’t feel comfortable in. Hayley absolutely nailed my style! I now love everything that is in my wardrobe. I love getting up in the morning and deciding what to wear. Everything matches everything else in my wardrobe. I regularly get comments from people on the street about something I am wearing, which I think is just a reflection of how good I feel in my new clothes.
I can now walk into a shop and am confident to pick out things that work for me, both color and style, and it works with at least 3 other things in my wardrobe (which is one of Hayley’s tips).
It will save me a fortune in the future on buying stuff that I will never wear as I now wear 100% of my wardrobe.
I highly, highly recommend this to everyone. I can’t speak highly enough about this service and how amazing it makes you feel. My mum after seeing how amazing it was, booked herself in within weeks.
It feels amazing!! Thanks so much, Hayley.

Hayley is a very talented stylist, it was an obvious choice to engage her services to style our wedding outfits. Weddings involve a million and one decisions, and Hayley absolutely took the pain out of deciding what to wear. Working with Hayley saved us so much time, money and potential regrets.  
The dress I chose was the wild card of Hayley’s selection and it was perfect!  Without Hayley egging me on with her curiosity to simply see the dress on, I may never have tried it. That is one of Hayley’s talents, encouraging others to take risks, have fun and find outfits which make us feel amazing.  
Hayley is also en pointe regarding her knowledge of what is currently available within the boutiques, and importantly what will work for her individual clients. She will always find a solution, and she dressed my future husband in colours that both suited him and complimented my outfit. With an eye for detail Hayley also ensured we were both finely accessorised. 
On our wedding day we both felt so comfortable, yet so special in our outfits. Hayley not only dressed us to our best, but in ways that reflected our personalities.

It’s well worth doing “The Works” package with Hayley. We laughed, inquired, reflected, considered, and talked and talked, laughed and laughed. And through all that the result was a refreshed and updated wardrobe, not too large, and all clothes I can’t wait to wear. Hayley is artistic, original, imaginative, caring, professional, intuitive, full of compliments and a huge amount of fun to work with. Thank you so much my new friend,
the real me has been found again.

My mum treated me to The Works Package and it was an amazing experience! Hayley figured out what colors best suited me (as a Winter) and gave me so many amazing tips on what styles suit me best. I realized I was wearing a size too big for most of my clothes and not making the most of my shape. I love how vibrant and creative my new wardrobe is – and versatile too! I feel like Hayley really took the time to understand my personality, lifestyle, and the look I was after. The shopping trip was a highlight – can’t wait to go back for my winter shop!

The best decision ever was to have Hayley help me find the right wedding dress and to find my ideal personality/body style by doing a style consultation. Hayley’s consultation is very informative and so useful! This knowledge will definitely impact me positively when I next shop for clothing! I felt very welcomed into her home and comfortable. As for our shopping trip, she made a possibly overwhelming day into an exciting time by preventing us from looking at countless wedding dresses from the racks, instead she did a pre-shop and chose around six to seven gowns based on my body shape and personality. This very important day couldn’t have gone more smoothly! My guests and I couldn’t have been more relaxed and happy! I ended up saying ‘yes to the dress pretty quickly, everything about it was so perfect and so me!
I highly recommend Hayley to anyone, but in particular to future brides who will be looking at buying wedding dresses. I can ensure you that you can put 100% of your trust in her as she absolutely knows what she’s talking about! Hayley is a very professional and honest person which is needed when shopping for wedding dresses. Hayley has great communication skills, is easygoing, and empowering. Thanks so much, Hayley!
