Cris Alves | Face Analysis Specialist and Personal Image Consultant

Face Analysis Specialist
and Personal Image Consultant

Encourage personal growth. Raise the sense of belonging that each one of us can have about ourselves. Promote well-being.

These were the goals that led Cris Alves to graduate as a physiotherapist. Shortly thereafter, the desire for change led her to image consulting. First, as a customer. From then on, there came a great affinity with the service and the discovery that she could couple her calling with the keen eye she had always had for beauty, art and fashion.

Her first projects already revealed a truth that literally shows on our face: being the face the point of visual and affective contact with other people, that part of the body that is naked all the time, it is necessary to give it due importance within the process of image and personal style consulting. It is not enough to invest only in clothes and accessories.

With studies in other areas of knowledge, Cris qualified to deal with changes in the face in a safe way. She found several answers tapping her expertise as a physiotherapist, whereas other answers came from the art of visage, anatomy and morpho psychology.

Cris studied image consulting at Centro Universitário Belas Artes (São Paulo), and at Style Works (New York). She complemented her training on style and analysis of personal coloring with visagists Claude Juillard (Paris), Philip Hallawell (São Paulo), and Ilana Berenholc (São Paulo).

The face is the center of the image consulting process and the starting point for defining each client’s visual identity. With that in mind, Cris developed the cutting-edge method Persoona, in which she connects image consulting and facial analysis. More than analyzing face, body build and style, Cris interprets goals and translates them into practical changes. No fashion fads or ready-made formulas: from simple geometry to considering the unique narrative each client wishes to tell.

National reference in the area, Cris changed the perspective on image consulting with Persoona. She is committed to the development of image consultants, and beauty and fashion professionals in the country, giving courses and training based on her own method. She is a member of the Association of Image Consultants International (USA), the leading entity of image consultants in the world.

She has among her clients’ institutions such as Fiat, Federation of Industries of the State of Minas Gerais (Fiemg), Magnesita, Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais and Federal University of Minas Gerais – not to mention all the people who come to her with that same desire for change she felt when it all began.

"And then, suddenly ...I hit my 60s! And together with the 60s some desires, doubts and uncertainties arrived. It was then that a great friend showed me that "light at the end of the tunnel." And Cris Alves came into my life. It's hard to describe in words everything she did for me, because it was not just having my hair cut or having the color changed, or buying some nice clothes. Cris taught me much, much more than that. With her help, I learned to know myself better, to choose safely what to buy and what to wear, to combine colors in such a natural and - at the same time - fun way. I learned to appreciate my strengths, and above all I learned that each phase of life has its own beauty! Cris helped me enter 60 years with confidence, elegance and lightness and I am grateful to her for it. "

"Cris Alves is an exceptional professional. Her charismatic presence, expertise and competence are inspiring. In 2015 and 2016, the students of the Master's Program in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (UFMG) were presented with her talk "Image and clothing in oral presentations." The talk added knowledge and generated interest in the importance of image, style and clothing to speak well in public. The students reported that the lecture was thorough, and the teachings were specific for professional and personal life. We want her to continue cherishing her presence. "
