You're the reason your client loves their hair.
Make sure they buy the products from you, too.
Cortessa matches every client to the right products, gives you the words to recommend them, and shows you what they cost everywhere else. In seconds, before they leave your chair.

You did everything right.
You listened. You picked the product. You worked it through her hair and showed her how to style it at home. She looked in the mirror and lit up.
Then she said, "I'll just grab it online."
No store in beauty can do what you just did. Cortessa makes sure the sale stays in your chair.
How a consultation works
From concern to sale in three steps.
- 1
Tell Cortessa what you're working on.
"Brassy blonde." "Thinning at the crown." "Frizz that won't quit."
- 2
Get the right products, and the words.
Matched picks from your shelf or any brand in Cortessa, with why each one fits and how to recommend it.
- 3
Answer the price question with facts.
See what it costs at every major retailer, what it costs you, and what you make.
Know the product
The expert answer, before your client leaves the chair.
New launches every week. Education spread across dozens of brand sites. Cortessa brings it into one place, in plain stylist language: what it does, who it's for, how to use it, and how to talk about it.
Product knowledgeKeep the sale
Never lose a sale to a price you didn't know about.
See every retailer's price next to your cost and your margin. Know when you can match, and how to talk about authentic product bought from a professional.
Price confidenceRemember every client
Every visit picks up where the last one ended.
Each consultation saves to your client's profile. Put a QR code on your mirror, and clients can start their own consultation while they wait.
Client consultationsOne place for answers
One search instead of ten tabs.
Google gives you consumer marketing. Groups give you opinions. Reps cover one brand. General AI fills gaps with guesses. Cortessa gives you verified facts across brands, plus your price, your shelf and your client's history.
Built for independents
You built your own business. You shouldn't have to figure out retail alone.
When you left the salon, you left behind the education days, the reps who stopped by and the team you could ask. Cortessa gives that support back, right at your station.
