As a Professional Organizer/Consultant, my appearance is of utmost importance to potential clients. Am I allowed to deduct clothing costs or hair appointments?

I am very honest but also want to receive the accurate deductions that are due to me. Are personal expenses covered under my business since I give Wardrobe, Color, Fashion advice to my clients? It is part of me helping them with the "Inside-Out Transformation" that my business is known for. If I do not look Professional and well-coifed to begin with, they would not even think twice about asking me for advice. Please help me with this tax question. I do NOT wish to be audited but would like to receive more deductions if I am allowed to....

No, only performing artists are allowed to deduct costumes.
