November News!

 The holiday season is upon us!

Whether or not you're gifting this holiday, I encourage you to shop small and local this season. I'll have a couple of promotions running (details below) if you're thinking of gifting great skin! In cool Union Square news, we're getting an independent bookstore on Powell St., right around the corner from my office! I'm super excited for them; it's a great addition to the neighborhood. Read about it here. 

I'll be taking time off for Thanksgiving to spend with friends and family, and I hope you are getting the chance to do something restorative for yourself as well, whatever that might be. Please know how thankful I am to have the opportunity to be a resource and take care of you!

I have some updates & exciting news (NEW PRODUCT ALERT!), so please be sure to read on below.

Sincere thanks for supporting my small business - Happy Thanksgiving!
With gratitude, affection & sunscreen, 
Jill

New Product Launch!  
If you've been in recently, you probably got an earful about a new serum with some amazing new ingredient technology. This is going to be a game-changer for hormonally aging skin.  Watch your inbox for the official launch email early next week with all the details and pre-order info! I'll be posting a reel tomorrow (Friday), so if you don't follow me on Instagram, now is the time!

Holiday Housekeeping
A few quick reminders for this crazy time of year:

• Union Square will be busy, and parking harder to find, so please give yourself plenty of time.
• Prepayment for services is in effect the week of Thanksgiving and the week before Christmas. If your schedule is unpredictable, best to choose another week!
• I will be out of the office on Thanksgiving, returning on 12/2. Orders placed over the holiday weekend will ship on Tuesday.
• My online schedule is available 30 days out. Grab one of the last openings now, and be sure to utilize the waitlist if you don't see your preferred time!

Need Anything? I'm Going Off the Grid! 🏝️

 This one's quick!

I'm heading out for vacation and my annual digital detox. I will be off the grid: no calls, texts, emails, DMs, or product orders will be handled until I return (whew!). Be sure to schedule your future appointments and check if you need any products before I check out! 

With affection & sunscreen (applied liberally, multiple times daily), 
Jill

Vacation Dates

• I will be off the grid from Saturday, October 11th, through Wednesday, October 22nd.
• Place product orders by 6 PM PST on October 9th to ensure they ship before I leave town.
• Pre & post-care follow-ups, as well as midmonth SWiCH treatment reminders, will be scheduled to go out in my absence, so don't worry, you won't miss any important reminders (IYKYK)!
• All communications will be returned & orders fulfilled on October 23rd. Thanks for your patience!

Fall News from Jill Jodar Advanced Skin Care

 I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. It was truly lovely in the city!

Exciting news! I've upgraded my treatment table! She's comfy and hydraulic, allowing your favorite middle-aged skin therapist to keep working those long days.  I hope you get a chance to experience it soon.

As we head into the busiest time of the year, some shipping policy reminders and an important update to my booking policy surrounding "holiday" weeks are below, so be sure to read them. 

With affection & sunscreen, 
Jill

Shipping Reminders
A few reminders to make sure you get your orders when you need them!

• Orders ship within 48 hours, Tuesday through Saturday
  I try my best to get them out same-day, but USPS pickup has been unreliable, so I often have to take a trip to the post office the following day.
• If you order after 2 PM on a Saturday, your order may not ship until Tuesday
  If I've left for the weekend (Sunday/Monday for me!), your order will be processed when I return the following Tuesday.
• There's been a notable slowdown in USPS deliveries 
  I've noticed it's been taking 3-4 days for Bay Area deliveries (4-6 nationwide), as opposed to 1-2 days. It will most likely get a bit worse during the holidays, so plan ahead!

New Booking Policy for "Holiday" Weeks

• Effective immediately, bookings during holiday weeks will be pre-pay only.
• What's a holiday week?
  For 2025: the week of Thanksgiving, and December 16 - January 3rd.
• In 2026, it will also include: the week of July 4th, the week of Memorial Day, the week of Labor Day
• Payment will be taken at the time of booking. If scheduling online, I will reach out for payment in order to secure your spot.
• If you think your schedule may be unpredictable, please book on an alternate week!

No longer me with my new table!! 

June News!

 Happy Pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈

This year, being a visible ally feels more important than ever. I'll be one of the lead volunteer wranglers for the Planned Parenthood contingent at the San Francisco Pride parade on 6/29, so if you're attending, be sure to yell hello if you see me! 👋

Just a quick update this month! I'm heading off to Las Vegas for the International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference on Friday. (Get those orders in now!) There's a great advanced education lineup I'm really looking forward to. (*Teaser* If all goes as planned, there will be a treatment room upgrade that I think you all will love! Stay tuned for that...)
