Dog Groomer and Salon Owner
As a dog groomer and salon owner, there is much more to think about than just grooming dogs. You must use your business brain to make sure your salon is running as effectively as possible. That’s why we’ve chosen some products this month, that’ll save you both time and money in your salon, without compromising on the quality of your grooms.
If you haven’t used this product yet, then you are really missing out. This spray is a water repellent that cuts your drying time by a third. This revolutionary product enhances the hair’s natural water-repelling qualities and works with your dryer and blaster to dry the dog’s coat as quickly as possible. It comes in three scents; Classic, Ocean Breeze and First Love, and it leaves no residue on the coat.

Time = money. Our brand ambassador Kayla told us that this spray reduced her poodle’s drying time by 8-10 minutes. This means that you can groom dogs quicker, meaning you can fit more grooms into your day, which means more money for you. If you’re a busy salon owner and employ groomers in your salon, this could mean multiple more dogs in your salon.
Stressing about ordering different blades? Then look no further. Wahl’s metal comb guides are the perfect attachments for a 30 blade, 10 blade or 15 blade. Simply pop them on your blade and you instantly have a different blade size, allowing you to have a bigger range of blade sizes in your salon. On top of this, they are made from stainless steel, which is more durable than other plastic comb guides.
How will this help your business?
Firstly, your costs go down instantly as you will no longer have to buy individual blades which are more costly than the comb guides. To add, these come in a handy set of eight which will increase your savings, rather than buying individual comb guides which will again ramp up the costs in your salon. This also means you’ll spend less time purchasing individual products. Due to their durability, you will not have to replace these as often, which has long term cost savings. They come with a strong storage case so your comb guides will stay safe and sound as well.
Does diluting your shampoos give you a headache? Then, the Christies Shampoo Mixing Bottle is the perfect addition to your salon. This 1l bottle comes printed with common dilution rates, which takes the guesswork out of your grooming. It also has a sports cap lid, which allows you to seal your product inside.

This bottle gives you the perfect dilution rate, which means less wasted product going down the drain. You can ensure that your dogs are getting the best groom, and you won’t lose money by over-concentrating your shampoo mixes. If you find that you want a more lathered shampoo, then we’d recommend using warmer water, not more product!
A thick and soft towel with superior drying ability, this towel is great for soaking up any excess water in your salon. Use it for rubbing down dogs after a bath or for cleaning up any spillages in your salon. Not only does it aid in drying dogs, it also acts as a measure for keeping your salon clean and mess free. It measures 27 inches by 20 inches and you’re able to use it in a washing machine and tumble dryer.

This quick-absorbing towel is a great way to speed up your grooms, saving you time which means you can get more dogs groomed in your salon. Due to its capabilities, it also means you carry fewer towels in your salon saving you space as well. To add, this towel is extremely affordable, so you won’t break the bank on towels for your salon. This is a salon essential, and will allow you to have a clean workspace, and will maximise efficiency.
The Chris Christensen Ice on Ice Detangler is a great after bath spray that aids you in removing knots and tangles from the coat. Not just a spray, this is an aerosol that penetrates the hair fibres deeper than most detangling sprays to remove even the toughest of knots. It uses Moroccan Argan Oil to nourish the coat, leaving it sleek, shiny, and smooth, as well as fighting frizz.

As this conditioning spray seals in hydration, it works to remove matts and knots out of the coat, without intense brushing. This means that your brushes won’t get worn down as quickly, saving your brushes and your money in the long run. To add, our brand ambassador Kayla, used this on a tail that she thought she was going to have to shave off and it left the dogs tail sleek and smooth. This not only saves you money, but also lead you to have better relationships with your customers, as you won’t have to shave off their dogs when you get a particularly tough knot. And as we all know, a happy customer means a happier business for you.
