Membership
MPPGA membership is open to professional groomers, salon owners, mobile stylists, apprentices, and educators working in Maine. Pick the tier that fits and we’ll take it from there.
Tiers
Pick the tier that fits and we’ll walk you through a short guided application. Annual dues are reviewed by the board each year, and final pricing will be confirmed before any payment is taken.
Learning the craft.
For groomers in school, apprenticing, or in their first year on the bench. Member event pricing and community access; directory listing optional.
The working groomer.
For full-time groomers and stylists working professionally in Maine.
For shop owners and salons.
Umbrella tier for salons, clinics, and multi-groomer shops. Sub-profiles for staff under one account, priority directory placement.
The standard
Every MPPGA member agrees to the PPGSA Standards of Care, Safety and Sanitation: a working framework for humane grooming, clean salons, and safe handling. The standards were written by groomers, for groomers, and they’re part of what membership means.
