Yes, groomer's are a dime a dozen. However, the successful groomer offer's specialised services....think outside the box....make services unique....specialise in small breeds....become proficient in breed specific hair/cuts/grooming, etc.....in otherwords...a Bishon's show cut...a poodle's show cut....types of grooming products.... |
Yes, that's what I was thinking in my consideration of looking into grooming. There are groomers all over the place in my area, but a majority of them unfortunatly aren't very good (I've seen some hack-jobs). I know it would take time to build up a good reputation, but that would definatly be the key to success, as with any small business
The only time I needed a groomer for my Akita was because she was throwing her coat while it was still really cold out and she was very itchy from it and needed a good bath, I did have a really hard time finding one that would take a large breed, so i guess there's always a nitch to be filled
I agree with you also about the dealing with the public, working for a vet, the owners were a whole lot harder to deal with than the animals LOL.
