  • Showroom Spotlight: Meet Our Leading Stylists at the New York City J.Hilburn Showroom

    We’re excited to spotlight three of our NYC-based Stylists who have stepped up as leaders at our J.Hilburn NYC Showroom. Over the years, Shawn Evans, Susan Brown, and Kristy Koys have not only excelled in their roles but are now focused on expanding our local presence, increasing activity at the showroom, and mentoring both new and existing Stylists.

    This passionate trio is dedicated to the J.Hilburn mission and eager to support anyone looking to grow their J.Hilburn business. Below, we’ve asked Shawn, Susan, and Kristy to share some information about their backgrounds and answer a few questions highlighting the advantages of working from our showroom.

    If you or your team members are in NYC or the surrounding areas and are interested in learning more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Shawn, Susan, and Kristy, or schedule an appointment to visit the showroom.

    Shawn Evans

    Enrollment: March 2015

    Current Rank: Style Associate

    Bio: Shawn is a NYC-based Style Associate who joined J.Hilburn nine years ago after many years working as a personal Stylist. Shawn’s prior experience includes early stints in classic northeastern fashion retail icon stores John Wanamaker’s and Bonwit Teller. Prior to J.Hilburn, Shawn’s experience included dressing both men and women, working with celebrities, video styling, and personal shopping.

    Q: Why are you excited to work with new Stylists at the Showroom?

    A: I’m excited to work with new Stylists in our NYC Showroom because we all come from different backgrounds and have different strengths in this business, so we can all learn a thing or two from each other. We’re all building a business and want it to be successful. 

    Q: How has your business benefited from working out of the Showroom?

    A: I enjoy the showroom work because it gives me the ability to broaden a Client’s appointment to include wardrobe consultations and idea generation. I see more of the product details and different style options that we have to offer Clients. This knowledge has boosted my confidence and helped double my business. My Clients enjoy the showroom experience and most ask, “Why haven’t we always met in the showroom?”

    Q: Why should a NYC Stylist take full advantage of the Showroom?

    A: NYC Stylists (especially if you’ve just joined) should take full advantage of the Showroom because you will have a leader to help you (if needed) answer questions. The showroom is equipped with all the supplies you need, including fit samples and fabric swatches (remember to also bring your boxes – you know your boxes better). Sample pieces are all tagged with SKU #’s Product Name. To quote one of our SMPs, “This was the easiest time I’ve had during my appointments.” 

    Susan Brown

    Enrollment date: March 2013

    Current Rank: Style Advisor 

    Bio: I’ve had a passion for fashion since, well, forever! I majored in Fashion Merchandising and worked in menswear – Van Heusen, J. crew. I’m a blogger, wife, and proud mom of three adult daughters. 

    Q: Why are you excited to work with new Stylists at the Showroom, and why should a NYC Stylist take full advantage of the Showroom?

    A: New Stylists should take advantage of the Showroom to share all the benefits of working with a community of seasoned Stylists, like having the ability to show off the great products – essential and seasonal – and using all these plus the fit samples to increase your sales and boost confidence!

    Q: How has your business benefited from working out of the Showroom?

    A: I love having a professional setting to meet my Clients – current and new.  Having them see actual samples and bigger swatches of fabric helps them to put together full looks instead of making single-item buys which increases my average orders, often over $1K!

    Kristy Koys

    Enrollment date: Friday, August 8, 2014

    Current Rank: Style Advisor

    Bio: I have many years of experience in the hospitality industry, mostly in restaurants and bars. I still do award-winning consulting for the latter. I truly enjoy the joy of offering fond and memorable experiences through dining and special events. Everyone eats.  Everyone drinks. My goal is to teach others to do it with a smile and shine that light from within. While helping a friend search for a career, we both found J.Hilburn, and hence, the career shift commenced. It’s been a huge learning experience for me. I didn’t even know what the word “lapel” meant before J.Hilburn’s training courses.

    Q: Why are you excited to work with new Stylists at the Showroom?

    A: I remember a time when I knew nothing about menswear but was excited to embark on this new career. New Stylists have that excitement that I enjoy encountering and reminds me of the vast opportunities that I’ve experienced and that lie ahead. I am happy to share my grand ideas where I’ve made ‘magic’ happen and it has earned me rewards gifts and incentive trips over the years. New Stylists in the showroom ignite the seasoned Stylists as well.

    Q: Why should a NYC Stylist take full advantage of the Showroom?

    A: Walking into a space that thoroughly supports you and makes you look like a pro in front of your Clients is a huge flex. Although we run our business as independent Stylists, we run the showroom as a community full of warmth and guidance. For every good experience a Stylist has in the showroom whether it be a lunch and learn or a Client appointment, we only become stronger. The more Stylists use the showroom, the more the word gets out and the referrals come. Everything we do has a ripple effect. I want Stylists to feel welcome and encouraged to grow their business in the NYC Showroom.

    Q: How has your business benefited from working out of the Showroom?

    A: First of all, I don’t have to lug around my swatch box, nor do I have to worry about showing customizations like piping through many flowering descriptors. The sample pieces in the showroom sell themselves, coupled with the pre-appointment survey, pre-sent style boards, and the VMA, we have so much more time to dig into all 11 categories and the numerous customizations.

    There is more time to build rapport with new Clients and dig in deeper with established Clients. Although it’s possible to go through all of this virtually and during an in-home appointment, the showroom offers Stylists a show-and-tell experience that you cannot reproduce otherwise. Well, you could rent a sprinter van with lots of samples, but ain’t nobody got time for that.

  • FAQs: The VIP Client Loyalty Program

    The VIP Client Loyalty Program is a tiered program designed to show appreciation for our best Clients and engage New Clients into developing an aspirational relationship with our brand. The reward tiers highlight the personalization of our custom product which is one of our key differentiators as a brand. 

    Program tiers are as follows:

    *Options include: Button Upgrades, Monograms, Ribbon Piping and Contrast Fabric.
    Multiple complimentary options can be ordered on each shirt.

    **Options include: Working Button Holes, Half-lining, Fancy Lining, Distressed Buttons (jackets and trousers), Shell/Metal Buttons (jackets), Contrast Stitching and Monograms.
    Multiple complimentary options can be ordered on each suit.

    The VIP Client program was introduced on May 2nd, 2024.

    Yes. When a Client creates an account on jhilburn.com, there is an option to opt-in to the VIP Client Loyalty Program at that time.

    Should he decline at that time and decide later that he wants to join, he absolutely can. If he clicks on “Hi, {Client Name}” in the upper-left-hand corner when he’s logged into your PURL, he can click on “The VIP Client Loyalty Program.” Select “Enroll for the VIP Client Loyalty Program” which will prompt for his birthday (Month/Day), then hit “enroll.” He will now be enrolled in the VIP Client Loyalty Program.

    He can access this section at any time which will show his Status, Qualifying Program Spend, and Program Inception Date, as well as the details of other VIP Client Loyalty Program tiers and how to qualify.

    Participation in the program is dependent on registration. To ensure your Clients are able to register, you must enter a valid email address for them upon account setup and ensure it matches what the Client uses for jhilburn.com.

    No, you cannot register for the Client. The acceptance of program terms and conditions requires the Client to take this action himself by using his own valid email and password.

    If you go to your Little Black Book, as you scroll through your Clients, underneath their name a little key symbol displays and will notate the Client’s tier status (Not Registered, Registered, Silver, or Gold).

    Additionally, if you go to the Client’s profile in the Green Room, their Program status will be displayed underneath the Billing/Account section of their profile entitled “The Board.”

    Registered means the Client has opted into the Board Program but has not yet satisfied enough qualifying program spend to hit one of the tiers.

    Further, if it says Not Registered – that means the Client has not yet opted into the VIP Client Loyalty Program.

    There are two (2) reward tiers in the program and they are built around Qualifying Program Spend (all lifetime spend from the time the Client registers for the Board online).

    Hitting the different levels of the Program is dependent on when they opted in  and their Qualifying Program Spend.

    *Options include: Button Upgrades, Monograms, Ribbon Piping, and Contrast Fabric.
    Multiple complimentary options can be ordered on each shirt.

    **Options include: Working Button Holes, Half-lining, Fancy Lining, Distressed Buttons (jackets and trousers), Shell/Metal Buttons (jackets), Contrast Stitching, and Monograms.
    Multiple complimentary options can be ordered on each suit.

    The key symbol indicators for Clients in the Green Room will be updated each month following our financial month close.

    At this time, there is no notification to your Client about their change in tier status. Your Client can check their Board Program status under their account through your PURL at any time.

    The lifetime spend from the time the Client registers for the Board.

    All merchandise sales are included in qualifying program spend (less any returns).

    Tax, shipping, and gift card sales are not included in qualifying program spend.

    Yes, should they qualify for complimentary shirt and/or suit options. Multiple complimentary options can be ordered on each shirt. Additionally, multiple complimentary options can be ordered on each suit if qualified.

    Qualifying Program Spend is individual spend tied to an individual Client’s Profile. Spending across multiple Client Profiles cannot be combined as qualifying spend for one individual even if one Client is footing the bill.

    No, Gift Cards purchased by a Client do not count toward Qualifying Program Spend because it is a form of tender, not merchandise.

    However, when the Recipient of the Gift Card redeems and is part of the Board Program, this will count towards the Recipient’s Qualifying Program Spend because it is a form of tender for a merchandise purchase.

    The program is a natural tie-in when talking about shirt and suit options and styling custom product during your First Appointment.

    It is a way to show Clients that a lasting relationship with you as their Stylist earns them exciting rewards. When Clients reach a Tier status, a phone call congratulating them and setting up an appointment to talk about their new rewards is a great idea. For Clients close to an award, it is a great way to move them into a higher average order value.
