What is it like running a dog grooming salon?
March 26, 2023
Running a dog grooming salon is like being a hairdresser, but with a twist. Instead of dealing with people who have opinions on their haircuts, you’re dealing with dogs who have opinions on everything except their haircuts.
You’re not just washing dogs; you’re trying to make them smell better than the questionable things they just rolled in. You’re not just trimming their hair; you’re trying to make them look like they didn’t just wake up from a 3-day bender.
And let’s not forget about the clients! Some people are more concerned about their dogs’ haircuts than their own. They’ll bring in pictures of dog models and ask for the exact same style. And then there are the clients who think their dogs are perfect angels but leave you with a horror show of a mess to clean up.
But despite all the challenges, running a dog grooming salon is incredibly rewarding. Seeing a dog walk out looking and smelling amazing is a feeling like no other. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love getting puppy kisses as payment for a job well done?
