Why we think
personal appearance is importance to us it’s all because appearance is your own
image that you reflected to other people. Personal appearance is undeniably
significant to what people think about you. so let’s take an example for better
understanding its importance, Let’s take two people standing in front of you
one is in very clean attractive formal attire and the other one is in dirty
clothes with un-cleaned shaved, whom you are attracted to talk to? Whom you
want to know more? It’s a clear understanding that mostly are attracted towards
a person with clean and formally attired personality it’s all because our
personal appearance reflect far more of our attitude and gratitude towards
other and If we dress well and keep a fresh look, it would definitely leave a
good impression in others' minds.
In our personal
appearance factors physical appearance plays a far important role as Physical
appearance basically involves your body language in totality: your head
movement, feet movements, hand movements, legs shaking, postures, gestures,
facial features, and all other physical elements of your personality. These
communicate a lot more than your
personal outward appearances that are determined by clothing, attire, and make-ups.
Let’s understand what all are
included in our personal appearance factors:
Hair
Regardless of
your hairstyle,
all hair should be clean and brushed/combed in the back as well as the front.
Face and Skin
Your face and
neck is addressed first during your judgment of personal appearance. Men should
be clean shaved or have their beards and mustaches trimmed and noticeable
blemishes
Can be covered
using makeup and women’s should wear
a nude and no make-up look make-up,
they don't need to carry a heavy coverage of base and loud eye makeup.
Hands
Men’s nails
should be trimmed and cleaned and for ladies, shorter nails are always more
appropriate than long ones, any nail polish that’s applied should be of a light
or nude shade.
Mouth
Obviously, it’s important to brush and floss your teeth before
going in front
of your client.
Always carry mints and mouthwash for an extra level of fresh breath
confidence; however, never treat a client with anything in your mouth such as
gum or mints.
Clothing
You should
always be in formal attire in front of your client and should not be in loud
disc style clothing as it presents a very bad and unprofessional behavior in
front of your client.
Footwear
Your choice
of footwear should be flat-soled closed toe shoes neither too bland nor too
bold; just be sure to polish them before you step in front of your client.
Accessories
Simple
accessories such as watches, small earrings, and modest necklaces are
completely acceptable and shouldn’t create any problem during your work.
However, if you wear loud heavy accessories it would be more difficult to focus
on your client and work.
It is also
important to maintain your personal hygiene such as always clean your hands
with sanitizer before and after working on your client, your trolly arrangement
and brushes should always be clean and properly arranged and you should always
work in a hygienic way. These all things reflect your personality and
professionalism towards your work and hence very important to maintain your
personal appearance.
