We’re excited to introduce the Booster Bonus, a limited-time earnings accelerator designed to reward Stylists who are building fast and selling strong. From May through January 2027, you will have the opportunity to elevate your Personal Sales Bonus Tier. Growing your sales in March and April helps you get a kickstart and maximize the Booster Bonus.
How It Works
During the promotional period, your recent Personal Qualification Volume (PV-Q) can be annualized to determine your Personal Sales Bonus Tier. Each month, you’ll be paid the higher of your Booster Bonus calculation or your standard trailing 12-month bonus, so your current strong performance can work harder for you now.
Formula: (Total PV-Q ÷ # of Months) × 12 = Annualized Volume
May Commission Period: (March–May Total PV-Q ÷ 3) × 12
June Commission Period: (March–June Total PV-Q ÷ 4) × 12
July Commission Period: (March–July Total PV-Q ÷ 5) × 12
August through January 2027 follow the same logic.
Example:
Example:
March – May Total Sales = $31,500 ÷ 3 x 12 = $126,000 Annualized Volume. This would earn you a $500 bonus payout in May commissions.
Why March and April Matter
Your sales momentum now sets the stage for your Booster Bonus. Because the program annualizes your recent Personal Qualification Volume (PV-Q), strong performance in March and April can significantly increase your calculated annual volume, and your potential monthly bonus, during the May–January 2027 commission periods.

The Booster Bonus is automatically available to all Independent Stylists, no opt-in required. Simply continue building your business and selling strong to take advantage of this limited-time opportunity to raise your tier and ramp up future earnings.
We look forward to continuing to support your growth and your future as we RESTYLE J.Hilburn together.
