Rootwork.hair

Know the vendor. Know the stylist. Know your hair.

Rootwork is the review platform for hair that takes work. Vet the vendors real buyers trust, find the stylists Google doesn't list, and keep a diary of every wash, treatment and install. Whatever your texture.

Vet the vendor before you send the deposit

Most extension and raw hair vendors don't have websites. They have a WhatsApp number, an Instagram page, and a reputation that lives in group chats. Rootwork gives every vendor a proper profile and keeps a permanent, searchable record of how orders actually went.

When you're ready to enquire, Rootwork writes the message for you: texture, length, bundles, destination. One tap opens WhatsApp with it ready to send.

Draft enquiry, written for you
Hi, I found you on Rootwork. I'm looking for 3 bundles of raw Vietnamese wavy, 22", double drawn, plus a 5x5 HD closure, shipped to London. Could you send your price, payment options and current lead time?

Find the stylists Google doesn't know exist

Home-based braiders, locticians who book through Instagram DMs, colourists and extension specialists with no listing anywhere. Rootwork is location-based across the UK, US and Canada, with prices shown before you click through to book.

Reviews are tagged for the things you'd actually ask a friend: texture skill, punctuality, and whether it's worth the money.

Stylist listing format

Washes, treatments and installs, tracked and reminded

Log what you did and what you used from your own product shelf. Record installs and takedowns, colour, keratin, trims. Rootwork learns your rhythm and reminds you when the next wash is due, and when it's time for those braids or tape-ins to come out.

Routines are recommended from your hair type and porosity, built from steps the community has actually rated. Not whoever paid for placement.

Wash day due Saturday (7 day cadence)

The beta opens soon. Help build it.

Rootwork launches with a small group whose reviews, vendor knowledge and honest opinions shape the platform before the public sees it. Everyone is pseudonymous by default: your reviews carry a verified badge, not your name.
