Welcome to the Program

Level up your grooming career

You already know the basics — now it's time to level up. This continuing education mentorship is designed specifically for groomers who have hands-on experience and are ready to sharpen their craft, expand their services, and build a thriving grooming business.

This program gives you something most training programs don't: flexibility. Choose the timeline that fits your schedule, then add on only the extras you actually want. Whether you are refining your technique, adding color to your service menu, or investing in a professional tool upgrade, you design the experience that makes sense for you.

Kiki brings real-world grooming expertise together with business coaching and social media marketing in one personalized mentorship. You will leave sharper, more confident, and ready to grow.

Who This Program Is For

Built for experienced groomers

This is NOT a beginner course. This mentorship is designed for individuals who:

  • Already have hands-on grooming experience — self-taught, previous training, or salon work
  • Want to refine and advance their grooming techniques and finishing skills
  • Are ready to build or grow their own grooming business
  • Want to add specialty services such as color treatments to their menu
  • Are serious about investing in their professional development

What Kiki Guarantees

Kiki will give you her full expertise, honest feedback, and the real-world tools to go out and build something great. The rest is up to you.

This is a working mentorship — you will be hands-on with dogs during training. Come prepared to practice, ask questions, and push your skills forward.

Brand new to grooming? If you have zero hands-on experience, ask about the Beginner Grooming Program — a 90-day all-inclusive mentorship built for those starting from scratch. It includes all equipment, Pet CPR & First Aid certification, and the full curriculum.
