Weekly Update – January 16, 2026

NEW THIS WEEK

The Home Office will be closed on Monday, January 19th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Stylist Success Team will resume with regular hours on Tuesday, January 20th.  

If you need assistance during the MLK Jr.  holiday, please utilize JESSI in the Stylist App, or email stylistcare@jhilburn.com or fitadvice@jhilburn.com. Email inquiries will be returned on January 20th.

Did you know you can text the Stylist Success Team? In addition to phone and email support, texting is available for quick questions, order support, and real-time guidance, making it easier to get the support you need while staying focused on your business.

If you have questions, feel free to call or text (866) 789-5381, or email stylistsuccess@jhilburn.com anytime.

To ensure smooth communication and order updates, please confirm your Client’s email address is current. You can update a Client’s email address directly in the app at any time. Here’s how:

Step 1: Open the Client’s profile and select “Edit.”

Step 2: Find the email field in the Client’s personal information section.

Step 3:  Update the email address and click “Save Change.”

Keeping this information accurate helps ensure Clients receive order confirmations, receipts, and important updates without delay.

If you need assistance, the Stylist Success Team is always available to help.

This week’s Simon Says looks ahead to 2026 with a refreshed seasonal calendar and design inspiration drawn from classic Hollywood, blending softer silhouettes, Art Deco influences, and playful new fabrics across knits, shirting, and suiting. Simon shares seasonal palette highlights and previews upcoming launches, making it easier to coordinate outfits and confidently outfit Clients for weddings, special occasions, and everyday style.
