  • Weekly Update – November 21, 2025

    HOLIDAYS 2025

    The Home Office will be closed on Thursday, November 27th, and Friday, November 28th, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.

    To support you as you close out the month of November, the Stylist Success Team will be available on Saturday, November 29th, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM CST, and Sunday, November 30th, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM CST. 

    Get Ready for a Week of Gratitude, Big Wins, and a Little Italian Luxury

    We’re closing out November with a festive “thank you” to all of you who have helped make the Seasonal Appreciation promotion such a success. Say hello to the Thanksgiving “Thank You” Challenge, your chance to earn entries for an exclusive, personally sourced Large Pale Pink Ferragamo Tote… straight from Milan (retail value $1650 US).

    How it works is simple:
    From Friday, 11/21/25 at 12:01 a.m. CST through Sunday, 11/30/25 at 11:59 p.m. CST, every order of $1,000 or more earns you one raffle entry. There’s no cap, no limit, and no complicated math. Just produce qualifying orders, and you’re in.

    The more high-value orders you place, the more entries you stack.
    Example: Submit six $1,000+ orders during the promotion window, and you earn six entries in the Ferragamo tote drawing.

    And here’s the best part:
    We’ll be drawing two winners, one from each cohort:

    • 1 Stylist winner

    • 1 Studio Stylist winner

    These aren’t just any totes. They were personally sourced in Italy by our Home Office’s own Simone Pizzuti and cannot be purchased in the U.S. This is true Italian luxury and a one-of-a-kind reward for your hard work this season.

    Key Details

    • No limit on the number of qualifying orders from 11/21–11/30

    • Orders from new or existing Clients both count

    • Repeat November buyers count if their new order is $1,000+

    • Only orders placed during the promotion period qualify

    Both winners will be drawn live on the Tuesday, 12/2 All-Stylist Call at 10:30 a.m. CST.
    The Ferragamo totes will ship to winners within 24 hours of the raffle.

    This is our way of saying thank you for your dedication, your creativity, and the momentum you’ve brought to the season. Now, go stack those entries for your chance to bring home a little luxury from Italy.

    We are pleased to launch a Client incentive for November and December: Seasonal Appreciation.

    This exciting program rewards your Clients for investing in their personal style in November and creates natural opportunities for you to re-engage them in December.

    Here’s How Seasonal Appreciation Works:

    • Clients earn $150 in credits for every $1,000 spent in November, up to $750 total.
    • Credits can be redeemed from December 5–31 toward additional purchases.
    Watch the video below for more details on how to maximize this offer:

    Seasonal Appreciation appeals to Clients who value exclusivity, quality, and smart rewards. This is an ideal way to strengthen Client relationships heading into the holidays and increase your November and December sales.

    Fall is here – and the holidays are just around the corner! We strongly encourage you to place your holiday orders as early as possible. For any Clients wishing to place gift orders for the holidays, please refer to the order cut-off dates below. These dates are being offered as guidelines NOT as guarantees. If your Clients order by these dates, it is more likely that they will receive their orders in time for the holidays. Please note that denim is not included in the cutoffs because we cannot guarantee the delivery date this year. 

    NEW THIS WEEK

    The Green Room and the Stylist App will be temporarily unavailable from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM CST on Monday, November 24th, due to scheduled maintenance with a third-party provider. During this time, Stylists will be unable to access the affected systems.

    We appreciate your patience during this scheduled maintenance.

    Great news! We have added two new grey fabrics to the Studio Suiting entry point program. We mentioned these fabrics on the Winter Launch call, and now they are available to sell. Take a look today and start incorporating them into your Clients’ wardrobes. And stay tuned…we have some additional shades of grey coming for Pre-Spring and Spring for Tier 2 and Tier 3.

    You will receive the swatches below with your Pre-Spring swatches:

    Our latest Tips From the Top session on Tuesday, November 18th, featured a live demonstration on how to use the Stylist App during a Client appointment by Stylist Jessica Richau. This was such a valuable session for increasing your confidence when using the App! If you weren’t able to attend the live session, we highly recommend taking the time to watch the recording. Whether you are new to the App or an experienced App user, we know you’ll find value in this session.

    Watch the recording:

    DON’T MISS!

    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.

    As part of our commitment to providing the best possible experience on the J.Hilburn Stylist App, we are updating our iOS support starting December 1, 2025.

    Starting with version 1.12.0, we will discontinue support for iOS 16.

    This adjustment allows us to:

    • Focus on security and performance improvements in newer iOS versions
    • Leverage the latest iOS features to enhance your experience

    If you are using iOS 16, you will still be able to use version 1.12.0 and earlier with all existing functionalities. However, we encourage you to update your device to access new features and improvements that will be available going forward.

    Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to elevate the J.Hilburn experience for your Clients.

    Over 50% of Stylist orders are now being placed in the Stylist App. Order entry is faster and leading to higher order value than the Green Room. Let’s all continue to make the Stylist App adoption grow!

    As part of the platform transition, Starting December 1, 2025, three additional features will officially move to the Stylist App and will no longer be available in Green Room.  

    In the Stylist App, you can already access these features directly from the Home screen: 

    • Marketing Toolkit – Accessible from the J.Hilburn Newsroom, Toolkits menu
    • Social Media & Marketing Center – Accessible from the Training & Resources section 
    • Scheduling Appointments in the New York and Dallas studios – Accessible from the Training & Resources section

    If you are not using the Stylist App yet, don’t wait! Make the switch now, as we move closer to using the Stylist App for all Client interactions. 

    Need help getting started? 
    👉Book a 1:1 Stylist App Session to walk through features and get confident using your new tools. 

    Our next All-Stylist Call is scheduled for December 2nd at 10:30AM CST.

    We are pleased to announce that our suiting vest profile used for the Fashion Vest, Suiting vest, and the Formal vest has been updated to include a waist adjustment up to a maximum + 2″ increase. This enhancement allows our suiting vests to better accommodate larger Clients and ensures improved alignment with our sportcoat fit.

    All existing suiting vest profiles have been updated to reflect a 0 waist adjustment by default.

    When creating a new suiting vest profile for your client, T.A.P.E. will now recommend an appropriate waist adjustment based on the ratio of the client’s chest to shirt waist measurements.

    Here’s what the 2026 product flow will look like:

    • January – Pre-Spring
    • March – Spring
    • May – Summer
    • July – Fall/Winter
    • September – Fall/Winter 2
    • November – Winter

    This new flow gives you more opportunities to showcase what’s fresh, inspire your Clients, and keep the excitement going all year long as you help to build their wardrobes. More training and support will accompany each delivery. This information is to help you begin to plan out your 2026.

    Here’s what the 2026 product flow will look like:

    • January – Pre-Spring
    • March – Spring
    • May – Summer
    • July – Fall/Winter
    • September – Fall/Winter 2
    • November – Winter

    This new flow gives you more opportunities to showcase what’s fresh, inspire your Clients, and keep the excitement going all year long as you help to build their wardrobes. More training and support will accompany each delivery. This information is to help you begin to plan out your 2026.

    Our next Tips From the Top is scheduled for November 18th at 11:00AM CST. Please join us for a live demonstration of how to use the Stylist App during a Client appointment with our guest Stylist, Jessica Richau. Jessica will demonstrate how to guide your Client through an appointment using the tools and features available in the Stylist App.

    Seasonal Appreciation – FAQs

    What is the Seasonal Appreciation Client Engagement Event?

    Seasonal Appreciation is a limited-time Client rewards program designed to encourage seasonal spending and loyalty. During November, Clients earn credits based on their total purchases, which can be used toward additional purchases in December. It’s positioned as a luxury “return on investment” in personal style.

    • Earning Period: November 1–30, 2025
    • Redemption Period: December 5–31, 2025

    Clients earn a $150 credit for every $1,000 spent in November, up to a maximum of $750 in credits.

    • $1,000 spent = $150 credit
    • $2,000 spent = $300 credit
    • $3,000 spent = $450 credit
    • $4,000 spent = $600 credit
    • $5,000+ spent = $750 credit (maximum)

    All qualifying product purchases made during November, including custom and ready-to-wear items, count toward the total. Sales tax, shipping fees, and gift card purchases do not count toward the spend threshold.

    Yes. A Client’s total cumulative spend in November will determine their earned credits, up to the $5,000 cap.

    Credits will be automatically calculated and applied to the Client’s account after the promotion ends. Stylists will receive an updated report or dashboard reflecting each Client’s earned amount.

    Credits will be issued on December 5, 2025 and available immediately for redemption through December 31, 2025.

    Credits will automatically appear in the Client’s account and can be applied at checkout on eligible purchases during December. Stylists can assist Clients by confirming available credit amounts before placing new orders.

    Yes. Clients may use their full earned amount in a single purchase or across multiple transactions during the redemption period.

    No. These are non-commissionable promotional credits. Stylists will earn commission on any additional spend beyond the value of the applied credits.

    All unused credits will expire at midnight on December 31, 2025. There will be no extensions or reissues.

    All J.Hilburn Clients, existing and new, are eligible to participate. The offer is not available to Stylists purchasing for personal use.

    Yes. Credits can be transferred to another Client. Stylists may reach out to the Stylist Success Team to transfer credits. Credits must be redeemed by December 31, 2025, even if gifted to another Client.

    Credits can be applied to any product available for purchase, unless otherwise stated. Gift cards, taxes, and shipping charges are excluded.

    If a Client returns an item that contributed to their credit total, their earned credits will be reduced accordingly. If the return occurs after credits are issued, the value of the credits may be deducted from the refund amount.

    Position it as a reward for investing in personal style. Use luxury and investment-focused language. Clients aren’t just spending, they’re earning a “Bonus” that enhances their wardrobe value.

    Example Script: “This November, you can earn a Seasonal Appreciation reward of $150 for every $1,000 you spend, up to $750 to use in December. It’s our way of saying thank you for your investment in great style.”

    Yes. This FAQ page is your promotional toolkit and includes graphics for social sharing, talking points, and a sample outreach message template. Clients will receive emails throughout November that reference the Holiday Bonus.

    Verify that the Client’s November purchase was completed and invoiced correctly. If issues persist, contact the Stylist Success Team with the Client’s name, order number, and date of purchase.

    Yes. Marketing will send a mid-month reminder and a final “last call” email to Clients, along with talking points Stylists can use for outreach.

    The determining factor is the order date and payment date, not the shipment date. As long as the purchase was made and paid for during November, it qualifies.

    Use December redemptions as an opportunity to check in with Clients about new seasonal items or holiday gifting needs.
