Questions stylists ask
Trust
From a professional product catalog we maintain, with sources for product claims, ingredients, sizes and professional pricing. When information is missing, Cortessa says so instead of guessing.
General AI tools are fast, but they can fill gaps with guesses. Cortessa only recommends from verified product facts, and it adds things a general tool doesn't have: your pro cost, current retailer prices, the brands you carry and your client's history.

Using it with clients
Usually under a minute. Type what you're working on and the picks come back in seconds.
No. You can see picks from the brands you carry, from all brands in Cortessa, or from one brand.
A short questionnaire about their hair, then product picks chosen from your scope. Clients never see prices.
Retailer prices are checked when you open a product page, so you see the latest available price.
Cortessa launches with 29 professional brands and more than 1,500 products, and the catalog grows every month based on what stylists ask for. If your brand is missing, request it right in the app.
