Groomers Love It

Real feedback from groomers in our pilot program.

"I picked up 3 shifts my first week. The pay was transparent, the salons were professional, and the money hit my account in 2 days. This is exactly what groomers needed."

"I'm a single mom. Being able to turn availability on only when the kids are at school changed everything. I made an extra $1,200 last month filling weekend gaps."

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

No upfront cost. GroomForce takes a 12% platform fee from each shift payout, which covers payment processing, insurance, and platform maintenance. You always see the fee before accepting a shift.
Typically 24–48 hours from application submission. We review employment history, check references, and confirm credentials. You'll receive an email with your verification status and next steps.
Formal certification is not required, but a minimum of 1 year of professional grooming experience is. Certifications (such as NDGAA or IPG) and a strong portfolio will boost your profile visibility and booking opportunities.
Payment happens upon shift completion — the salon pays you directly once both parties confirm the shift is done. No platform delays, no holds, and you see exactly what you'll earn before you accept.
Cancellations more than 24 hours before a shift have no penalty. Cancellations within 24 hours carry a warning. Two no-shows within 60 days will result in a temporary suspension. We know life happens — communication is key.
We're currently launching in the Phoenix, AZ metro area. Applications from other markets are welcome — we'll add you to the waitlist and notify you when we expand to your city.
