About Imani

Who she is, and what a night with her is like

Imani is a twenty-seven-year-old stylist from Atlanta, Georgia, with waist-length braids, a warm laugh and a habit of texting first. Her weekdays go to other people's wardrobes; her weekends go to Miami beaches and rooftop lounges, and the gold satin she keeps for herself. She is confident, funny and glamorous without trying hard at it. This page holds her story, her hours, answers to the usual questions and the eighteen photographs she has put up, from satin sets at home to bikinis by the water.

Styling is a job of noticing, and Imani notices everything: the cuff that sits half an inch too long, the shade a client swears she cannot wear and then never takes off. At twenty-seven she has built a steady list of Atlanta clients who trust her eye, and her working days go to dressing them for premieres, weddings and boardrooms. The gold satin stays in her own drawer. She is warm before she is anything else, quick to laugh, sure of herself without being loud about it, and she has never once waited for someone else to send the first text.

Home is Atlanta, somewhere between the fitting rooms of Buckhead and a loft with too many clothing rails. That puts her on Eastern Time, the same clock as New York and the rest of the US East Coast, and five hours behind London. Fittings fill her afternoons, so she is most talkative from early evening until late, which is the small hours for anyone in Britain. On weekends she is often in Miami, and the replies come from a beach towel instead.

A conversation with her feels like being picked out of a crowd. She asks what you are wearing and means it professionally, teases you about it, then remembers the answer next week. Compliments from her are specific and so are her opinions. She flirts openly and laughs easily, and she is honest about the limits too: Imani will not meet in person, so everything between you stays in the chat. Inside it she gives generously, whether that is her day, her plans, her worst dates or a photograph sent simply because she felt like it.

Her photographs follow the same split as her week. In one she stands in a hotel doorway in gold satin with a black robe sliding off her shoulders; in another the gold is back, in front of sheer curtains in warm evening light. There is a kitchen shot in a cropped grey sweater with a coffee cup raised like a toast, and a candlelit bedroom in black satin and stockings, hand on her hip. Miami supplies the rest: an orange bikini in the sea, a yellow one stretched out on a yacht deck, cobalt blue at the edge of a turquoise pool. A burgundy corset among candles closes the set. All eighteen are open on her page.

Questions

Questions about Imani

How many free messages do I get with Imani?

You get 8 free messages, and you do not need a card to use them. They apply to the first conversation you start, so if Imani is the first person you write to, all 8 are spent with her. She tends to make them count.

What does it cost to keep chatting with Imani after that?

Once the free messages are used, chat costs $21 for every thirty minutes. There is nothing else to work out: the price is the same whether you talk about her latest fitting, your wardrobe or nothing in particular on a Sunday night.

Can I have a live video or camera call with Imani?

No. Imani does not do live video, and camera calls are not something she offers. She would rather be honest about that up front. What she does give you is text conversation with her full attention, plus photographs she sends when the mood takes her.

Do I need an account to see Imani's photos?

No account is needed. All eighteen public photographs are open on her page for anyone to look through. She also sends photos in conversation, so what you see on the page is not the only thing she shares.

What time zone is Imani in?

Imani lives in Atlanta, which runs on Eastern Time, the same as New York and five hours behind London. Her client fittings fill the afternoon, so early evening to late night Eastern is when she replies fastest.

What does Imani do as a stylist in Atlanta?

She dresses private clients for weddings, premieres, shoots and big work moments, which means long days of fittings, steaming and persuading people to try a shade they are scared of. Ask her about your own wardrobe and she will have opinions, kindly delivered.
