Once Malika has a feel for who her client is the client then arranges what services she needs.

 At Make Me Over Malika (MMOM) clients have options. Malika  will go out independently to pick out pieces and bring the items to them or . the client has the option of having a one on one shopping session in stores with Malika.

Due to a number of potential clients contacting Malika from out of state she also offers a “Shop at My home store” option; where she contacts the client’s local store to have merchandise held for them.
