We had the good fortune of connecting with Courtney Major and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Courtney, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
One thing about the beauty industry that outsiders are probably unaware of is the deep level of customization and personal connection that goes into every service. At Cocostylz Artistry, it’s not just about providing hair and makeup services; it’s about understanding each client’s unique personality, lifestyle, and beauty goals. This industry requires a blend of artistry and psychology to truly enhance a client’s natural beauty while making them feel confident and empowered. Every session is a collaboration where we listen, advise, and create a look that feels authentic and transformative for the individual. This level of personalization is what sets our work apart and why our clients trust us with their most important moments.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets CocoStylz Artistry apart is our unwavering commitment to personalized luxury and expert care. With a technical degree in cosmetology from Aveda Institute in Franklin, Tennessee, my journey began with a profound passion for hair and makeup. After impressing a renowned salon owner with my talent at a cut class in Boston, MA., I embarked on an apprenticeship program in Los Angeles, and this is where I honed my skills under the mentorship of industry luminary Jon Reyman.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I transitioned to Cocostylz Artistry to offer bespoke services that blend wellness-inspired care with expert techniques. From in-suite pampering to nationwide on-site wedding and event styling, every client is treated to a transformative experience tailored to their unique needs.

Our offerings extend beyond special occasions to encompass day-to-day maintenance, including shampoo styles, color treatments, extensions, and more. At Cocostylz Artistry, it’s not just about creating beautiful looks—it’s about empowering each guest to own their beauty and confidence.

As a single parent fueled by ambition and a desire for growth, I am constantly evolving and seeking ways to elevate my craft. I aim to connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate quality, authenticity, and the artistry behind the beauty industry.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to extend a heartfelt shoutout to The Academy at Corner to Corner for their invaluable guidance in shaping my business plan and paving the way for my success. Their support has been instrumental in charting my entrepreneurial journey.

I also want to express gratitude to Tiffany Napper, my dedicated business coach, who has empowered me to prioritize self-care and surround myself with a supportive community of ambitious women. Her mentorship has been a beacon of inspiration in navigating the intricate paths of entrepreneurship during this soft CEO era.

Last but certainly not least, I owe a profound debt of gratitude to my parents. Their unwavering love and support have been the bedrock of my endeavors, especially as a single parent embarking on this entrepreneurial adventure. Their belief in me fuels my determination to create a legacy for my daughter and myself.
