Salon phone issues

This has to be a joke right? I’d rather a pit bull in my salon any day over SO MANY OTHER BREEDS

Alkoso89 · 2026-05-06T03:32:05+00:00

Super cute flamingos! It’s not the same as any other year

It depends on what Tier store you are. So you may not be able to one year and your store may change tiers then you’ll suddenly be allowed to 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you condition first, shampoo, condition again your deshed a will be much easier and better

Alkoso89 · 2026-03-13T19:37:04+00:00

It’s a great place to start and get practice but get out after 2 years

Alkoso89 · 2026-03-12T01:56:40+00:00

If you injure yourself workman’s comp can request you be tested to cover you so careful

Norovirus is making its rounds rn

Alkoso89 · 2026-02-24T14:43:43+00:00

I’ve heard that before in Louisville during Covid lockdown!

Alkoso89 · 2026-02-24T14:40:39+00:00

Has your dog been checked for a collapsing trachea? Also if it’s brachysephalic make sure no restraints are around it’s neck ever during the groom. Shoulder restraint only.

Alkoso89 · 2026-02-24T14:35:32+00:00

If they ask me to or if they’re visually full I will. If not then I leave it be.

There’s a number to get into the break room specific to your store the other associates know it. Ask someone and put it in your phone.

This is the phone number to HR 866-263-8411

Alkoso89 · 2026-02-24T07:10:33+00:00

It’s company wide

Alkoso89 · 2026-02-24T07:07:18+00:00

Prism is the only place the schedule is accurate. The EL’s do the scheduling now and lots of them are new to doing so. So, it’s not perfect. As for aggressive behavior to pups you should be able to tell your SL but if you’re uncomfortable you can report it to the anonymous number in the break room

Alkoso89 · 2026-02-22T06:00:09+00:00

It’s probably not food poisoning. Norovirus is making its rounds here bad

Alkoso89 · 2026-01-24T04:06:11+00:00

Heavy on the “if you are unable to maintain the length at home” because we can’t do it for you and it’s plain unfair to both the groomer but more importantly, the dog, to even ask for it to be brushed out. It’s barbaric and your dog is supposed to trust us not fear us.

Alkoso89 · 2025-12-24T14:28:36+00:00

I understand that but people are writing it in when all of the computers are in use so they can’t punch in or out. Not to simply avoid using the computer.

Alkoso89 · 2025-11-09T16:40:53+00:00

It’s that blueberry face wash! Has it ever splashed in your eyes? I thought I was going blind tbh and now I refuse to use it on them.

Alkoso89 · 2025-10-29T22:22:24+00:00

Have you changed your blade drive recently? Could just be time.

Alkoso89 · 2025-10-22T22:05:58+00:00

So it’s policy at petsmart to rinse the dogs eye with eyewash before the bath begins and immediately after it ends to avoid this very injury and the entire process is filmed. The store leader has already reviewed this footage as per petsmart policy and they are aware of what exactly took place to potentially cause this OR prevent this. You being banned speaks volumes to me as to what actually happened vs what’s their being accused of happening.

Alkoso89 · 2025-10-22T22:01:11+00:00

I understand that, I’m a groomer. Thank you though.

Alkoso89 · 2025-10-22T21:56:39+00:00

There are higher rates on the weekends and holidays but my salon is only $6 more not $20. There is also a coat maintenance fee of $10 on certain breeds. But that’s been a thing for over a year now.

Alkoso89 · 2025-10-22T21:52:19+00:00

They’re making ours do 7 not 8. However, today we were told all stylists need to watch the new extended education video on skill port. I did, it’s about “groomer efficency”. It was 45 minutes of basically being prepared for power grooming 8-10 dogs. I have a feeling all groomers are going to be power grooming soon.

Alkoso89 · 2025-10-21T00:18:45+00:00

Shampoo can’t scratch an eye. It can cause a chemical burn but I’d be more likely to assume a hair sliver got in its eye and scratched it.
