Tired of grooming dogs in a noisy, smelly environment ? Then come work with the best grooming team in Birmingham!

We are an upscale boutique and spa that offers full service grooming, bathing and spa services for a clientele that loves to pamper their pooches! Unlike most grooming shops, we only use high quality, all natural products, do not use kennels for drying or containment, and dogs are given the personalized attention that can be lacking in other grooming environments. In fact, our model is more like a human hair salon because we work solely by appointment and the dogs are here only during their scheduled time. During their appointment, dogs receive our undivided attention from bathing to hand-drying and finishing. Our clients LOVE that they do not have to leave their furry family members all day, and that we put the extra effort into making sure their dog is treated just like they would treat them and TIP GENEROUSLY as a result.

Our groomers who have worked in the traditional grooming environment will tell you that our model is not only best for the dogs but also best for the groomers. They work fewer hours without any loss of pay and in most cases, actually make more after tips. We are looking to hire at least one - possibly two - groomers immediately and are open to part-time or full-time arrangements. We have the clientele - just need the talent to keep them happy!

To qualify for a groomer position on our team, you must:

-Love dogs! We understand that bad days are possible, but as a whole, you must love your job and the fact that you get to spend your days with dogs and other dog lovers.

-Have a positive attitude and dedicated work ethic. We don't start work at the crack of dawn so expect you to be on time. Emergencies will always come up but repeated absenteeism is frowned upon. We will be loyal to you and make sure that you are treated fairly and expect the same in return.

-Maintain a great bedside manner with both dogs and their owners. Not only do you need to be able to make the dog comfortable, but the owner has to feel 100% secure in leaving the dog in your care.
