aisha Claire

“Physical beauty is easily enhanced, but your inner space is where the light is born. Using a holistic approach, we elevate your environment, wardrobe and wellbeing. I coach with the intention of release and renewal.”

Aisha Claire is the founder of Perfectly Claire, a New York City based personal image consulting company specializing in style messaging and personal transformation. Helping people to refine how they live and show up in the world to empower and inspire happiness is her purpose.

She believes that attractive energy begins with clarity and harmony, so she not only teaches the science of best colors, shapes, patterns, and contrast level for your own features, but focuses on wellness - letting go of things and emotions, expanding self care, and organizing homes that seem impossible. Aisha understands that your space is an extension of your style, so she uses an intuitive approach to create clear energy flow for homes and offices.

She creates beautiful, efficient, and clutter-free environments for better productivity. She is an immensely skilled image consultant with a passion to beautify people and spaces, and lift spirits. For community involvement, see our Passion Work section.

Background

Aisha’s creative sense was sharpened by extensive experience on camera, decades of ballet, dance, voice, violin and piano training, also completing a bachelor’s degree in Film Studies at Wesleyan University, and a master’s degree in African Visual Arts at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. In 2022 she completed a certification in Mental Health First Aid by the National Council for Mental Well Being to enhance her abilities as a coach and healer.

Aisha is an internationally published model and singer with national TV appearances. As a songstress, she worked with many of the industry's best, from Carly Simon to John Legend. While living in Nigeria for several years to complete her master’s, she worked as a marketing designer for intercontinental aerospace company Spar Aerospace / GS Telecom. Her resume includes some the world’s largest companies and the White House. She is equally as comfortable in artistic and corporate environments and has extremely versatile creative abilities, working with all lifestyles.

The events of 2020 inspired her to introduce Perfectly Claire Home & Heart, a gift shop to uplift the home and spirit.

Aisha believes that balance is an art. In her busy native New York City she maintains spiritual balance with daily meditation, music, exercise, travel, and lots of love.

EmpowerMe Talks

Perfectly Claire is M/WBE and WOSB Certified by NYS. I give back to my community by spending time with teens and children. As far back as 1998, I did Career Day visits at NY public schools in the Bronx where my mom taught. I speak to teens at schools and organizations about self empowerment, creativity and entrepreneurship. I especially prioritize supporting girls with attachment, boundaries, sexual health, and processing issues to gain clarity.

I have developed a 16 Week EmpowerMe program to provide underserved girls with vital lessons and resources which I am presenting to organizations and city agencies. It covers everything from attachment styles to self defense. If you're interested in facilitating a session of my girls' program or you know of an organization that may want to implement it, please reach out.

Career Dress Seminars

In collaboration with the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation’s Economic Solutions Center and Kingsley Duah, Owner of Privélege, we presented a seminar called Basic to Boss: How to Dress the Part and Win for young professionals and those seeking tips to enhance their image. We raffled 2 large Marc Jacobs perfume gift boxes and one Privélege custom suit won by a college student.

Pageant Coaching

2019 Miss NY Continental Cultural Pageant by the Caribbean American Cultural Group. Each contestant represented a Caribbean country. I coached the girls’ walks, stage presence, public speaking, head and eye movement, on how to move in their various looks, and what attire and accessories to choose for most flattering appearance on stage.

Perfectly Claire Winter Coat Drive

I asked friends and family for gently used outerwear, picked up the donations from around the city, and donated them to the Urban Strategies Fannie Barnes Residence in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

Women’s History Month Art Show and Fundraiser

Good people, good hearts, and beautiful art! Perfectly Claire Personal Image was a proud sponsor and volunteer coordinator for this event alongside Fillmore Real Estate Bed-Stuy for a month long art show. We raised money for Brownstoners of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Inc., a civic organization in Brooklyn, NY focused on education, economic development, housing and community activism. Also in celebration of Women’s History Month, Fillmore Real Estate Bed-Stuy transformed its office into an art gallery for the first time since its opening. Each artist was asked to select one work that best represents women. Nine of the pieces sold with two weeks to go until the show's closing, with a third of the proceeds going to Brownstoners. The opening reception was a beautiful event. Great people gathered for a good cause, with delicious food and wine provided by Peaches Kitchen & Bar and Bed-Vyne Wine & Spirits. The photos are from our opening reception.
