Built for people — and their assistants.
Our catalog and Vi, our hair-care authority, are structured for AI shopping agents and answer engines. Any assistant can search the catalog, read enriched product data, and score products against a real hair profile — using the same patent-pending rubric Vi itself uses. Scores are computed, never invented.

Four tools
match_products_to_hair
Send a hair profile — type, porosity, concerns, sensitivities — and get products ranked 0–100 by Studio 1’s hair-match methodology, with the matched-on facts listed per product. Unscored dimensions are excluded, never faked.
The differentiatorsearch_products
Catalog search with hair-care enrichment vanilla commerce feeds lack: hair types, concern tags, key ingredients, benefits, color-safe and sulfate-free flags, a Vi summary — plus price, availability, and GLOW Bucks earned.
get_product
One product by handle: full enrichment, every variant with size, price, and live availability.
get_store_facts
Canonical store facts, structured to quote verbatim: free shipping over $150, 30-day returns, GLOW Bucks store credit, family salon since 1976, contact.
Example — score shampoos for wavy, medium-porosity, color-treated hair
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call",
"params": { "name": "match_products_to_hair",
"arguments": { "query": "shampoo",
"hair": { "type": "wavy", "porosity": "medium",
"concerns": ["color", "dryness"] } } } }
The honesty contract
- Scores are computed, never invented. Same rubric Vi uses; if a dimension can’t be scored, it’s excluded — not guessed.
- GLOW Bucks are store credit — 10% back on every order, one flat rate, credited 30 days after each order. Redemption at checkout is coming at launch.
- No photos, no biometrics. Matching works from stated hair facts only — the tools neither accept nor reference images.
- Read-only, no PII. These tools never see customer data. Cart and checkout run on Shopify’s native MCP at www.studio1beauty.com/api/mcp.
