The old way
Most groomers want more freedom. Opening a salon alone is the hard part.
Snout Studios removes the facility burden so experienced pet professionals can focus on their craft and their business.
- 01
Expensive buildout
Starting from scratch can cost $50K–$100K before you groom a single dog.
- 02
Long-term commitments
Traditional spaces often demand 3–5 year commitments, personal guarantees, and escalating costs.
- 03
Equipment costs
Tables, tubs, dryers, and plumbing can add $15K–$25K in specialized equipment.
- 04
Client acquisition from zero
Building a client book in a new location takes focused work and time.
- 05
Admin overhead
Permits, insurance, bookkeeping, cleaning, and maintenance compete with time behind the table.
- 06
Someone else's brand
Working under a corporate name means following their rules instead of building yours.

Do I need to bring my own equipment?
Each suite comes with its own high-velocity dryer, and every studio has shared professional bathing tubs with ramp access. Towel service, WiFi, utilities, cleaning, and a client-ready lobby are included. You bring grooming tools such as clippers, shears, and brushes, plus personal touches for your space.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No. We offer flexible terms with no long-term contracts required. We want you to stay because you love it, not because you are locked in.
Do I keep all of my earnings?
Yes. You keep 100% of what you charge your clients. Your membership fee is a simple weekly membership. We never take a cut of your service revenue.
How quickly can I move in?
Most groomers are fully set up and serving clients within one week of reserving their suite. We provide an onboarding kit to help you get started.
Do I need my own insurance?
Yes. You will need your own liability insurance as an independent groomer. We can recommend providers who specialize in pet grooming coverage.
Can I set my own hours and prices?
Yes. You are running your own business. Set your own schedule, choose your own clients, and price your services as you see fit.
Who handles cleaning and maintenance?
Our team cleans and maintains common areas, the lobby, and bathing stations. You are responsible for keeping your individual suite tidy between clients.
