A Hair of the Dog

A Hair of the Dog Grooming by appointment only. Walk in nail trimming (No apointment necessary) available 9-3 Tuesday through Saturday for $10.

Grooming package includes bath, blueberry facial scrub, blow-dry, brush, haircut, nail trim, ears cleaned, paw treatment and scent of your choice. Haircut style is mutually designed to to meet your individual pets lifestyle and needs while ensuring they look their absolute best. I have been a groomer for almost 20 years. My experience ranges from corporate salon to private shops, and I have owned

A Hair of the Dog for since 2011. My love for animals stems back to my childhood. I have owned a few Chinese Cresteds, Yoda, Chewie, Tallulah and Nephele. Both the Hairless and Powderpuff variety. Professionally, I pride myself on providing a positive grooming experience for the pet and owner. Closely following given directions while striving to keep a low stress environment focusing on quality over quantity at a fair price. I understand grooming requires a great deal of trust, a strong relationship with both owner and pet, as well as an ability to read the situation and the body language of dogs correctly. I am invested in discovering new ways to keep your dogs healthy, adorable and happy while continuing education on the latest trends and styles.

“Maguy, poodle, 16 years old.

Many times, the grooms that I am most proud of do not reflect perfection. They reflect compassion, gentleness, and rejuvenation of an old doggo I’ve loved for years. It’s an honor to be trusted to make him spiffy, comfortable and clean!

Love a perfect scissored dood head. His name is Milo. He’s an amazing especially good boy. 😍❤️😇

A Chinese crested powderpuff. ❤️❤️❤️

Officially my fourth dog. Completing my home and making me the most grateful person! Not only am I surrounded at work by dogs that I love and adore, but it continues non stop at home. I am truly living a life that is better than I could have ever imagined!

Hey furry friends and families! ☀️
Our clippers are taking a little vacation break!

The salon will be closed from Saturday July 4th to Monday July 13th.

We will officially reopen on Tuesday July 14th.

I will not be answering messages or booking requests while we are away. Looking forward to enjoying some relaxation and rejuvenation!

Please call to book your pet's next groom over the next few days or after we return from vacation. Thank you as always for being such wonderful supportive clients and dog families. Happy Summer!

My new bud Casper the friendly dog! This is a client request style from their previous groomer and I was excited to deliver Casper looking like his old self. New town, new life, but Casper looks like he always did (when he was groomed by his first and most loved groomer!) I’m hoping I will earn a spot in his heart, I had to work for the kisses, and I really enjoyed the challenge and Casper!
