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.
Challenge Ends Sunday, November 30th at 11:59 PM
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.
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 checkout feature on JHilburn.com is temporarily disabled for all Ready-to-Wear items, including shoes and gift cards. Clients will now see an option to “Send to Stylist” instead. Please ensure you are regularly reviewing your Open Web Orders to stay updated.
We’re kicking off December with the Step Into Success Contest, your chance to earn entries for premium prizes from Allen Edmonds, America’s iconic shoemaker since 1922. When you introduce Clients to their craftsmanship, you’re not just selling shoes; you’re elevating wardrobes, deepening relationships, and reinforcing the value of expert, personalized styling.
How It Works
From Monday, 12/1/25 at 12:01 AM CST through Wednesday, 12/31/25 at 11:59 PM CST, every pair of Allen Edmonds shoes you sell earns you one raffle entry.
No caps. No limits. Just connect Clients with premium footwear and build your entries.
Sell at least 3 pairs during December to qualify, and from there:
1 pair sold = 1 raffle entry • 5 pairs sold = 5 entries • 10 pairs sold = 10 entries
And so on. The more pairs you sell, the more chances you have to win.
The Rewards
We’ll be drawing for two major prizes for qualifying Stylists:
#1.) A complimentary pair of Allen Edmonds shoes of your choice
#2.) A premium Allen Edmonds shoe care kit
And there’s more! If we collectively exceed 250 pairs sold in December, we will unlock a third winner, who will receive: An Allen Edmonds belt
Winners
Winners will be announced live on the Pre-Spring Kickoff Call on January 5, 2026. Once winners are announced, please connect with Deb Scanlan to confirm shoe choice, shipping details, and—if applicable—your shoe care kit or belt. Only one prize per Stylist.
This is your opportunity to close the year strong, celebrate your success, and step into January with the classic sophistication that defines both J.Hilburn and Allen Edmonds.
Here’s to a stylish December and a month full of big wins!
We are pleased to share that for a limited time through the holiday season, we’ve added two new Allen Edmonds belt styles to our assortment. Available in multiple colors and ready to ship quickly, these styles are a great offering for Clients looking for last-minute gifting or wardrobe needs.
This offering is meant to provide you and your Clients with added flexibility during the holidays, as these belts are not custom and have a much quicker shipping window to arrive in time for the holidays. We recommend you place Allen Edmonds orders for holiday gifting by or before December 15th, as we cannot guarantee delivery.
These belts will be available from November 26th through December 31st.
Allen Edmonds Wide Basic Dress Belt
- Chili Leather
- Navy Leather
- Mahogany Leather
- Black Leather
- Coffee Leather
Allen Edmonds Broadway Avenue Dress Casual Belt

With the holidays right around the corner, there’s never been a better time to offer the gift of custom style! Order physical or electronic gift cards in the Stylist App today.

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.
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:
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.
