Redirect map for Cloré Beauty Supply's move to Shopify
This table compares ways a hair or salon brand can sell pro only products to licensed stylists and salons.
| Compared on |
Shopify store for hair and salon brands | Selling through SalonCentric or CosmoProf | Wholesale Gorilla on your own | In-house team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| License check before pro prices | Salon signup form collects the license file; you approve before pro pricing shows. | The distributor checks each stylist's license at signup. | Signup form for wholesale applicants; you review each one. | Your team designs the form and the approval steps. |
| Pro only products hidden from retail | Back bar and color lines appear only to approved salon accounts. | Pro only by design, since the distributor sells to licensed professionals. | Hides products from retail or wholesale shoppers on the Advanced plan. | Possible with Shopify B2B catalogs, if your team knows them. |
| Who owns the salon relationship | Salons order from you directly, so order history and contacts stay yours. | Wide reach through hundreds of supply stores; the distributor holds the salon account. | Salons order from you, inside your Shopify store. | Salons order from you; your team handles every account. |
| Salon reorders by SKU | Quick order list so a salon reorders color by SKU on one page. | Salons reorder through the distributor's stores or website. | Quick order form included on the Advanced plan. | Made and kept up by your own developers. |
| How you pay | Paid discovery, then an accurate estimate. | The distributor buys at wholesale and keeps the resale margin. | Monthly plan, plus your setup time. | Salaries for a developer and a wholesale manager. |

Every category has its own catalog, buying habits and rules. We build for yours.
Variants, bundles and product data set up for your products.
Subscriptions, reorders or B2B where your customers need them.
Age checks, shipping rules and restricted products handled where they apply.
Email, SMS and paid set up for your seasons.
Process
Hair and beauty catalogs grow fast, so the product structure gets planned before any theme work.
In recorded workshops we review shades, lengths, textures and sizes, decide which are variants and which are separate products, and agree scope and acceptance criteria.
We design in Figma with two revision rounds and sign-off. Shade swatches use real product photos, and filters let buyers narrow by hair type or concern.
Shampoo, conditioner and treatments get subscribe and save at frequencies that match a bottle's life. We connect TikTok, Facebook and Instagram so catalog and stock stay in step with Shopify.
QA checks live payments, Shop Pay and shipping rates on phones. Your team logs issues in BugHerd and signs off in UAT.
We go live with a rollback plan. Hypercare covers the first 2 to 4 weeks.
We design experiences that make a difference. See what our clients have to say about working with us.
