Experience Grooming Education Like Never Before

The Groomer’s Speakeasy Institute is not just another seminar. It’s a hidden, hammock‑lounged learning experience where professional groomers relax, connect and elevate their craft in an intimate speakeasy setting.

Crafted by award‑winning groomer and educator Alaina LeBlanc, the Institute brings nationally renowned instructors to Kennebunk for small group workshops and after‑hours socials. Our goal is simple: small classes, real connections and education you can actually use. Proceeds support ongoing education initiatives through the Maine Professional Pet Groomers Association.

When you descend into our secret space beneath Pawfections Pet Salon, you’ll find a cozy, vintage‑inspired lounge complete with hammocks, mismatched furniture and a 1920s ambiance. It’s a place to ask questions, share stories and build genuine connections without the stress of a conference hall or demo stage.

Features:
• Small classes, real connections, intimate workshop setting
• Top educators and nationally renowned instructors
• After-Hours Socials with cocktails, music, and raffles
• Proceeds support Maine Professional Pet Groomers Association

Upcoming Events:
• A Day of Routines & Everyday Grooming with Kelsey Ann Sexton – Date to be announced. Relax and learn techniques to streamline your daily grooming routine.
• The Groomer’s Speakeasy: After Hours – Date to be announced. Join us for a laidback evening with DJ music, complimentary cocktails, raffles, and networking with fellow groomers. Tickets benefit the Maine Professional Pet Groomers Association.
