What it is
Rootegra is the day-to-day software a holistic salon actually runs on. It tracks the apprentice's hours toward state licensure, hosts the curriculum they're working through, verifies they were on-site when they clocked in, and turns all of that into a clean payroll run for the owner at the end of the period.
One quiet app instead of a folder of paper time sheets, a school binder, a spreadsheet, and a separate scheduler that doesn't talk to any of them.
Three doors in
Pro
Stand up your salon, draw a clock-in geofence on the map, define your pay periods, invite apprentices, assign the modules you want them learning, review submitted hours, and run payroll without re-typing anything into a second system.
Academy
Clock in when you're physically inside the salon. Work through the modules your educator assigned. Tick off the daily checklist. Watch your hours-toward-license tally climb, category by category, with your estimated pay for the period beside it.
Care · Coming soon
Book your next appointment, message your stylist between visits, and keep a living record of your hair — formulas, sensitivities, photos, what worked, what didn't. The client side of Rootegra is in design now.
Built for licensure
Rootegra was designed around Hawai‘i's 2,500-hour cosmetology apprenticeship — so its hour records are categorized the way a state board actually looks at them: theory, cutting, color, chemical, styling, extensions, business, and health & safety.
Clock-in is verified against the salon's GPS geofence, not the honor system. Edits are logged. Pay periods close cleanly. When an apprentice finishes, the record they hand to the board is the same record they earned, day by day, on the floor.
The interface is built to be calm and direct — generous spacing, plain language, one task at a time. It was designed with neurodivergent practitioners in the room, not as an afterthought.

Rootegra is the software. Root Integrity Collective is the curriculum and methodology underneath it — a holistic, integrity-first approach to hair that the app is built to carry into the day-to-day of a real salon.
Rootegra runs the salon. The Collective shapes the practitioner.
