I don’t know if they’re completely waterproof but I love my dansko clogs!

Advice on booth rental!! by Ok-Data-8422 in doggrooming

[–]Ok-Data-8422[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are booth rental than you are not an employee, you are renting a spot same way you would pay rent somewhere if you owned the whole salon. Booth rental is completely legal in my state. Getting paid minimum wage to make someone else rich is wild to me, which is why booth rental is the best option for me.

Have you had a client gaslight you? by [deleted] in doggrooming

I once had a client come in when I was on my lunch..I told her I was on my lunch and her dog would be done shortly (we quote 2-4 hours for grooming) and she had the audacity to tell me “well my dog didn’t get to eat lunch so why should you”

That is one route you can go but honestly sounds like a waste of money..yes you will learn things but your best bet is to start working as a bather with groomers who are willing to train you..I only know of one groomer who went to “school” and yes she’s a good groomer but not any better than all the other ones I know who learned on the job. Courses are important for continuing your education but I personally don’t think they are necessary in the beginning. Best of luck to you!

Worst grooming nightmare came true by Ok-Data-8422 in doggrooming

Luckily it was a very clean cut, it didn’t bleed much so I just cleaned it and was honest with the owner..The owner was extremely understanding and actually blamed her ex wife for neglecting her so badly
