  • Weekly Update – April 4, 2025

    NEW THIS WEEK

    As with all of our fellow retailers in the USA, we’re exploring a range of alternatives to mitigate the impact of the Trump Administration’s announced tariffs. We will provide you with more details on Monday. TAL has heard from other retailers about their thoughts, so we have a broad net of information that we are gathering and evaluating.

    In the meantime, please understand that while we evaluate possible options, the new tariff structure may still have an unavoidable impact on pricing and operations; however, we will do our best to mitigate this.

    More updates on Monday!

    The J.Hilburn Sales and Leadership Plan was updated on April 1, 2025. Key elements of this update include:

    • Personal Sales Volume Bonus (PSVB): Starting April 1st and running through September 2025
    • Details on New Stylist and Mentor match bonuses
    • Studio Mentorship Program 
    • Additional glossary terms

    Visit the Sales and Leadership Plan Resource Guide in the newsroom for more information and to review the updated plan in full.

    Stylists, we have an exciting update regarding Denim production:  

    The Trinity Denim washes are available again as of April 1st!  

    This includes all three versions of the Trinity wash: 

    • CID2-DP: Trinity Medium Clean Wash Italian Denim 
    • JHD2-DP: Trinity Medium Wash Stretch Denim 
    • JHD4-DP: Trinity Medium Clean Wash Stretch Denim 

    The wash formula is still being perfected to achieve the quality standards we require for the remaining denim washes. This may take a few more weeks to complete, but we are working urgently to complete testing and resume production.  We will let you know as soon as we have additional updates.  

    On our Summer Launch call a few weeks ago, we mentioned that we would be launching some of the fabrics digitally in April. Well, that time is here! These seven (7) new digital-only swatches fabrics will be available to order on Tuesday, April 8th.

    These are digital-only swatches and are available in very Limited Quantities.

    Yes, for the next 12 months, they will be a PSA.  You have an opportunity to keep compressed PSAs with a “1 for 1” PSA program.  For each new sponsored PSA you enroll by July 31, 2025, if they have minimum sales of $2000 in their first 6 months, they will remain a PSA as long as they are active.  If you don’t recruit a Stylist who sells $2,000 in their first 6 months, the compressed Stylist will be a Level 1 Stylist to you.

    The rules are based on the ones implemented earlier: 

    Title Achievement Bonus :

    Stylists are eligible for a Title Achievement Bonus (one time only per Business Title). Title Achievement Bonuses are paid for Executive Style Consultant, Style Leader, Executive Style Leader, and Managing Director. To receive any Title Achievement Bonus, a Stylist must be eligible and have promoted to that Business Title for the very first time. The Title Achievement Bonus will be paid on the next commission payment.

    Mentor Matching Title Achievement Bonus:

    Mentors who have a Level 1 Stylist who achieves a Title Achievement Bonus, may be eligible for a matching bonus. To be eligible, the Mentor must be at or above the title that the level 1 Stylist Achieved. (Example: Level 1 achieves Style Leader Title Achievement Bonus and earns $1,000. The Mentor is a Senior Style Leader, they will receive a matching $1,000 bonus).  The Stylist does not have to be a PSA for the Mentor to be eligible.

    Yes, if you acquire a PSA in compression, you will have the opportunity to help your new Level 1 promote up and receive the matching mentor bonuses. If they promote up in the next 12 months, they are recognized as your PSA.   After July 31, 2025, you will continue to earn matching TAB bonuses on this individual, if you earned them as a PSA from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025. To be eligible, the Mentor must be at or above the title that the level 1 Stylist achieved.

    In Revolution (both in the Stylist App & the Green Room) – after compression – there will be visibility up to Level 8.
