That\u2019s a pretty scary leap! But deciding you want to go down this path is only the first step. You\u2019ll have to find the ideal grooming environment for you! When you consider where a professional pet groomer works, you\u2019re probably picturing an indoor environment such as a Petco or a shelter. While those are common places for many groomers to start their career, they aren\u2019t the only option.<\/p>\n<p>You could also open your own salon, start a home business, or become a mobile dog groomer. You\u2019ve got many options ahead of you, so don\u2019t just settle before you explore them all!

For the purposes of this article, we aren\u2019t talking about working for a retailer like Petco, for example. We\u2019ll be focusing on the pros and cons of <em>owning<\/em> a dog grooming salon.<\/p>\n<h3>The Pros<\/h3>\n<h4>Opportunities to Hire Employees\/Assistants<\/h4>\n<p>Unlike home grooming situations, you have the space to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/07\/taking-your-dog-grooming-business-to-the-next-level-hiring-employees-or-assistants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hire employees and assistants.<\/a>\u00a0Whenever your business expands, you&#8217;re opening up an opportunity to earn a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/08\/dog-groomers-salary-much-will-make\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">higher salary<\/a>. With more hands on deck, you\u2019ll collectively groom more dogs in a day. This is a major pro of owning a salon.<\/p>\n<h4>Ability to Offer Additional Services<\/h4>\n<p>Grooming salons often add to their revenue stream by selling additional products or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/04\/special-services-can-offer-professional-dog-groomer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">offering specialty services<\/a>! Because you\u2019ll have a professional retail space, you can set up dog treat displays and make a few extra bucks on top of your grooming services!<\/p>\n<h4>Lower Prices for Clients<\/h4>\n<p>Compared mobile grooming, for example, average salon grooming prices are typically lower. This is because vehicle and travel costs aren\u2019t factored into the prices. Clients come to you, and they\u2019re charged only for the work you do.<\/p>\n<h4>Ability to Reach More Clients<\/h4>\n<p>Most people who hire mobile grooming services face special circumstances that prevent them from leaving their home. When you run a salon, you\u2019ll see clients who aren\u2019t restricted by the same circumstances. As you won&#8217;t be spending time travelling from place to place, you&#8217;ll have more time to service additional clients than a typical mobile pet groomer.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8117&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>The Cons<\/h3>\n<h4>Costly<\/h4>\n<p>Owning a salon is expensive, especially if you\u2019re hiring employees. Consider that you\u2019ll be paying retail rent, which can be very expensive depending on your location.<\/p>\n<h4>Managing Administration Tasks &amp; Grooming<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/03\/different-career-paths-dog-groomers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Owning your own grooming salon<\/a> is no walk in the park! You\u2019ll be managing administration tasks such as scheduling, paying employees, and paying rent on top of grooming your canine clients. Of course, administration tasks will be necessary no matter the kind of grooming business you\u2019re running. But they\u2019ll be even more prominent in a salon setting.<\/p>\n<h4>Clients May Need to Travel Further<\/h4>\n<p>Although you can reach clients easily in a city or large town, owning a salon in a rural or suburban area means seeing fewer clients on the whole. Some clients may need to travel farther to get to the nearest puppy salon. And if a competing business springs up closer to their homes, you may lose some clients.<\/p>\n<h4>Stressed-out Canine Clients<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/01\/dog-grooming-courses-teach-many-dont\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grooming can be stressful for dogs<\/a> in salon settings. Other dogs will likely be around and they may experience anxiety from being outside their familiar, home environment. It can all be overwhelming, especially for older pooches who may not be conditioned to a salon environment from a young age.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8119&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Grooming\"><\/span>Home Grooming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By home grooming, we\u2019re referring to opening a salon within your home. You&#8217;d convert your garage, shed, or room to a space suitable for conducting grooming appointments. Check out these pros and cons of home grooming, and see if it\u2019s for you!<\/p>\n<h3>The Pros<\/h3>\n<h4>Cost-effectiveness<\/h4>\n<p>Without the rental costs of a storefront, home grooming is very cost-effective. In fact, it could be the most cost-effective option for groomers! You would only pay for the home renovations of the space, your business license, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/08\/learning-about-your-dog-grooming-kit-brushes-combs-and-dematting-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tools you need for your grooms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Convenience<\/h4>\n<p>This option is obviously convenient for you, but it may be just as convenient for clients! You won\u2019t have to commute to work each day, and your clients could just walk over to your house for their appointments!<\/p>\n<h4>Be a Side-Business<\/h4>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to be a full-time dog groomer, running a home salon is an appealing choice. You can schedule clients whenever it suits your schedule. For stay-at-home parents, people who work from home, or those with a full time job, a home salon means you don\u2019t have to change your schedule.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Neighbors Are Your Clients<\/h4>\n<p>You likely already know the people who live in your area! These will be your clients. You&#8217;ll form <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/08\/your-career-as-a-dog-groomer-getting-loyal-long-term-clients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">close relationships<\/a> with both the canines and their owners who live in your neighborhood![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8120&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>The Cons<\/h3>\n<h4>Limited Space<\/h4>\n<p>This point won&#8217;t apply to everyone, but it can affect most modestly-sized homes. It\u2019s likely your home salon will be a lot smaller than a salon in a commercial space. Keep this in mind when weighing your options!<\/p>\n<h4>No Work-Home Separation<\/h4>\n<p>Some people want to separate their work-life from their home-life. If you\u2019re one of those people, opening a home grooming salon may not be for you. You won\u2019t have to commute to work, but you won&#8217;t be able to leave your workplace behind at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Clients Have Your Address<\/h4>\n<p>This one might be a major con for some people. All your clients will have your address and know your home. If you\u2019re someone who needs a strong sense of safety, security, and privacy, a home salon may not be right for you.<\/p>\n<h4>Converting a Space Can Be Pricey<\/h4>\n<p>As mentioned, you&#8217;ll need to convert a space within your existing home for your grooming appointments. This will require purchasing equipment and products on top of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/10\/insurance-dog-groomers-need-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insurance<\/a> and a business license. Your salon should meet professional safety and sanitation standards. These are all major investments and require a lot of work on your part to make into a reality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_option_is_for_you\"><\/span>Which option is for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Weigh the pros and cons and think about your plan for the next few years. All three of these options are great, but it ultimately depends on how you live your life and how to <em>want<\/em> to live your life. Starting a business of any sort is a huge investment, so it\u2019s important to consider all the pros and cons.<\/p>\n<p>Can you think of any other pros or cons for any of these options?
