    As an independent contractor with J.Hilburn, Stylists must provide J.Hilburn with an IRS W-9 Form that includes their name, billing address, and social security number or federal tax identification number. This information is required for the IRS Form 1099 reporting.

    We want to prevent you from receiving a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating that the combination of name and taxpayer identification number (Name/TIN combination) on your account with J.Hilburn, Inc. does not match and needs to be corrected. A Name/TIN combination is incorrect if it does not match a Name/TIN combination shown on the records of the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the IRS.

    Please verify your information in the Stylist App or Green Room by navigating to “My Account” to confirm your information is correct, as this is how J.Hilburn will file your 1099 with the IRS. Your account must reflect the legal name under which you will be filing your taxes. 

    If your information has changed or if you have not submitted your form to J.Hilburn, please complete and send the IRS W-9 Form to stylistcare@jhilburn.com as soon as possible. The form can be found in the Newsroom by searching “tax” or downloaded directly from the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf. The deadline to send in your W-9 is January 2, 2026.

    The Seasonal Appreciation redemption period is here! Earned credits are now active in Client accounts for those who earned in November. Seasonal Appreciation credits are valid in December and must be redeemed by December 31. Any Seasonal Appreciation credits that are not used in December will be forfeited. Clients may transfer their Seasonal Appreciation credits to another Client, but transferred credits must still be redeemed by December 31. Clients who wish to transfer credits should reach out to our Client Support Team for assistance. Stylists may not request credit transfers.

    The Seasonal Appreciation redemption period creates a natural opportunity for you to re-engage with your Clients in December.  Strengthen your relationships with your Clients by encouraging them to redeem their credits to help further build out their wardrobe. Advise them that this is the perfect opportunity to purchase extra-special items from their wish list that may be outside of their normal budget or from a category that they’ve never bought before.

    A new version of the Stylist App is live, packed with updates to make your styling smarter and faster!

    What’s New:

    1. Style Options Sorting
    During product customization, certain style options will be sorted by the most popular options.

    2. Save for Later
    Save products outside the shopping bag for future client sessions.

    3. Interactive Favorites (App Exclusive!)

    An App-exclusive feature that transforms how stylists and clients interact during product selection, creating a more dynamic and client-centered shopping experience.

    Click below to watch a short video to learn how to use Interactive Favorites.

    To take advantage of these new features, be sure to update to the latest version of the J. Hilburn Stylist App.

    Check out tutorials in the Stylist Central Facebook Group. Thanks for making every style unique. We’re thrilled for you to dive into these enhancements!

    As an independent contractor with J.Hilburn, Stylists must provide J.Hilburn with an IRS W-9 Form that includes their name, billing address, and social security number or federal tax identification number. This information is required for the IRS Form 1099 reporting.

    We want to prevent you from receiving a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating that the combination of name and taxpayer identification number (Name/TIN combination) on your account with J.Hilburn, Inc. does not match and needs to be corrected. A Name/TIN combination is incorrect if it does not match a Name/TIN combination shown on the records of the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the IRS.

    Please verify your information in the Stylist App or Green Room by navigating to “My Account” to confirm your information is correct, as this is how J.Hilburn will file your 1099 with the IRS. Your account must reflect the legal name under which you will be filing your taxes. 

    If your information has changed or if you have not submitted your form to J.Hilburn, please complete and send the IRS W-9 Form to stylistcare@jhilburn.com as soon as possible. The form can be found in the Newsroom by searching “tax” or downloaded directly from the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf. The deadline to send in your W-9 is January 2, 2026.

    Our next Tips From the Top is scheduled for January 20th at 11:00AM CST. 

     Each Tips From The Top session features an experienced Stylist from the field who will share the strategies and steps that have led to their success. Don’t miss out on the valuable tips and strategies shared during these meetings.

    Winter Event Details:

    THE WINTER EVENT — PRODUCTS

    • The products included in the Winter Event will be from the Spring/Summer 2025 Collection and older. We may offer a limited number of Essential fabrics. 
    • All Winter Event products will be available on your PURL under the “Sale” category.

    THE WINTER EVENT — FABRIC SWATCHES

    • A list of all fabric swatches and Ready-to-Wear items included in the Winter Event is available below.  
    • You will have fabric swatches for some of the Winter Event products, but most likely not for all, since this event includes swatches from previous seasons. 

    THE WINTER EVENT — QUANTITIES AND TIMING

    • Winter Event products are limited in quantity. Start selling as soon as possible once the Event launches for the best selection. Enter your orders when you take them. Do not wait, as supply may run out.  
    • Do not build orders for the Winter Event in advance of December 26, 2025. Event prices will only be reflected on orders built after the official start date.

    THE WINTER EVENT — REACHING CLIENTS

    • You should reach out to your Clients during the Private Event period to make them aware of the Winter Event.  J.Hilburn will not promote the Winter Event to Clients via marketing emails or social media during the Private Event period.
    • Starting Saturday, January 3, the Company will email all subscribed Clients to announce the Winter Event. 

    BEST PRACTICES & TIPS  

    • Double-check your work. Measure twice!
    • Verify fit and measurements for Clients who have not ordered in over 1 year.  
    • You want to set the expectation with your Clients that some fabrics may sell out.  
    • Eliminate old fit profiles to minimize any mistakes. 
    • Suggest that Clients send their orders to you, versus checking out themselves, so you can review their order for accuracy. 
    • Use the favorites section of .com to work with your Clients virtually.
    • Identify your Clients who like to take advantage of our “sale” events and send them a text to notify them that the Private Event has begun. 

    STRATEGIES 

    • Have an upsell item/strategy.  This is a great time to use add-on items: belts, socks, scarves, etc., to build your order value.   
    • Including full-priced items in Client orders will increase your earnings.  Use a blended approach by adding full-price items to the style board you suggest for them.  These blended style boards encourage them to “buy the look.”  
    • Take this opportunity to show them how to extend their wardrobe. Example:  2 pants, 2 shirts & 2 knits will mix & match to create X number of looks. 
    • If you are a New Stylist, build a list of 25 potential Clients to reach out to. Think of guys who might be more price-sensitive.
    • On the day the Private Event launches, TEXT your Clients first thing in the morning: “Hi XXX, my Private Winter Event launches today.  As one of my VIP Clients, I wanted to offer it to you first.  It runs from December 26–January 2 and is up to 40% off.  Do you want in??  Let me know ASAP so I can get you the details.” 
    • A few days later, send another text to those who haven’t responded:  “Hi XXX, I didn’t want you to miss out.  The Winter Event goes public on Saturday.  Do you want in before the word is out to everyone?  I can help you via text, email, Zoom, or style boards.” 
    • Make it easy for your Clients. If you have time, put some things in your Clients’ favorites (both sale and full-price) and send them a link to their closet.

    Get the List of SKUs for the Winter Event:

    Winter Event SKU List

    Please make sure to continue checking the SKU list daily for the most up-to-date fabric availability. As the Winter Event progresses, certain fabrics will be removed from the list as they sell out. Checking the list daily ensures you always have the most current selection to present to your Clients. We also recommend that you access the Event SKUs through this link only and avoid saving a separate copy of the list. This will ensure you’re always viewing the most accurate and updated version of the list.

    Winter Event Styleboards

    Feel free to utilize the provided styleboards to share the Winter Event with your Clients. These boards provide a mix of both full-price and special-price products. The star icon indicates the items that are at a reduced price during the Winter Event.
