Life of a Groomer - The Grooming Clients Double Standard
💬 “She couldn’t groom my dog because he was too difficult. She must have been mean or impatient.”
💬 “She groomed my dog, and he came home happy and healthy—but one ear is a quarter inch longer than the other.”
💬 “Her prices are so affordable, but she grooms too many dogs each day. My dog doesn’t get enough individual attention.”
💬 “She works one-on-one from her home, and can groom only four dogs a day. Why is she so expensive?”
💬 “She has openings next week? She must not be very good.”
💬 “She’s booked for weeks! Why can’t she be more accommodating?”
💬 “My groomer stopped grooming my dog to answer the phone. My dog should have her full attention!”
💬 “My groomer never answers the phone.”
💬 “That grooming loop looks too tight. My poor dog must be uncomfortable.”
💬 “The grooming loop wasn’t tight enough, and my dog jumped off the table.”
💬 “My groomer keeps asking for reviews. It’s so annoying.”
💬 “I only leave Google reviews when I’m unhappy.”
💬 “She uses scented shampoo, and the smell gives me a headache.”
💬 “My groomer uses hypoallergenic, scent-free shampoo, and my dog smells like a dog!”
💬 “It took three hours? That’s way too long.”
💬 “She finished in an hour, so she must have rushed my dog.”
💬 “She recommended a shorter haircut because my dog was matted. She just didn’t want to do the work.”
💬 “She spent extra time brushing my dog. Why was my bill higher than expected?”
💬 “She said my dog should come every four weeks and that she’s closing her books. She’s just trying to make more money.”
💬 “She’s always accepting new grooming clients to fill her schedule, and now I can’t get an appointment!”
💬 “She doesn’t accept aggressive dogs. A professional groomer should be able to groom every dog.”
💬 “She accepted my aggressive dog, but why did she have to use a muzzle? That’s so mean!”
💬 “She canceled on me because she was sick.”
💬 “My groomer sounded sick today. Why would she come to work and risk getting everyone else sick?”
💬 “My groomer stopped accepting large breeds because she says her back hurts.”
💬 “I can’t get an appointment because my groomer injured her back. Now what??"
💬 " My groomer won't let me stay and watch the groom, she must be doing something bad"
💬 " I stayed for my dogs groom and he looked so anxious and kept moving and trying to get to me, my groomer was struggling to groom him safely, I'll never bring him back"
