    DON’T MISS!

    We are excited to open pre-orders for the PRINTED version of the Fall/Winter 2025 Lookbook at $6.00 per piece. Although tariffs increased our price for the Lookbooks, we’re happy to share that YOUR price will not increase this year! The Lookbooks will be available in the Stylist Store in Packs of 5 for $30. Delivery is expected in early August to align with the launch of the season.

    This PRINTED version of the Lookbook will not replace the expanded DIGITAL Lookbook that will be available before the Fall launch.

    There are many reasons you should invest in this great marketing tool, including:

    • New Clients – a perfect leave-behind to present our brand and collections
    • Disengaged Clients – catch their attention by mailing it to them
    • As a Mentor – give them to your team for them to share
    • As a Recruiter – share our brand and beautiful products with potential Stylists

    At this year’s Conference, we had a physical “Stylist Store” providing attendees the opportunity to purchase our custom samples onsite. To accommodate this physical “Stylist Store”, custom samples were temporarily taken offline from the online Stylist Store in the Green Room.

    We expect to have the custom samples back online in the Stylist Store by early August, once our Warehouse Team has completed the inventory check-in process. We will notify you as soon as the samples are officially available again online.

    Achieve Your Target, Earn $100! 

    July’s heating up, and so is your chance to earn more! Here’s a challenge that puts extra cash in your pocket.

    The challenge runs  July 1, 2025 – July 31, 2025:

    •  Your target is to beat your 2024 Personal Volume (PV) by +10% in July 2025.
    • If you didn’t sell more than $910 last July: Your target is minimum $1,000.

    By achieving or exceeding your target by July 31st, you will earn a $100 bonus. 

    Combined with your PSVB earnings, your commission check will be even bigger!

     

    Example:

    Example Stylist’s July 2024 Sales: $1000

    Example Stylist’s July 2025 Target: $1000 + 10% ($100) = July 2025 Target $1100

     

    Check your PV in the Stylist App or Green Room throughout the month to track your progress. A tracker for this challenge is available in the Green Room.

    Now is a good time to reach out to your Clients, build momentum, and grow your earnings. If you have any questions about this challenge, please reach out to the Stylist Success Team for assistance.

    You’ve got everything to gain. Let’s go and have an amazing July.

    Friendly reminder to take advantage of the Personal Sales Volume Bonus (PSVB), a great way to reward your hard work and help you grow your earnings! From April 2025 through September 2025, Stylists can earn up to an additional 3.1% bonus on their personal monthly sales volume.

    The program begins at the Circle of Excellence (COE) Gold level, starting at $12,000 in monthly sales, and includes tiered bonus opportunities:

    • Earn a $150 bonus when you reach COE Gold ($12K monthly PSV).
    • For every additional $4,000 in Personal Sales Volume, you’ll earn an extra $150 bonus—all the way up to 3X Platinum COE ($48K).

    This 6-month test program reflects our commitment to put more money in your pocket and recognize your personal sales success.

    Stay focused, stay consistent, and maximize your earning potential with PSVB!

    Our next Tips From the Top is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5th at 11:00 AM CST immediately following the All-Stylist call at 10:30 AM CST.
