Proven model: our LA flagship is open and fully operating, with 240+ groomers already on the waitlist nationwide.
Snout Studios is the first national brand of private pet grooming salon suites — fully equipped grooming rooms that independent groomers join as members. Snout Studios is open in Los Angeles, giving local groomers a private space to run their own business, keep 100% of their earnings, and set their own hours, without the cost of opening a salon from scratch.
1640 W Temple St
Los Angeles, CA 90026
Our flagship sits on W Temple Street where Echo Park meets Historic Filipinotown — minutes from Echo Park Lake, Silver Lake, Dodger Stadium, and Downtown LA, with quick access from the 101 and 110. It's walkable to the Eastside's densest dog neighborhoods, with street parking out front and secure keyless 24/7 entry so you set your own hours.
Los Angeles has more working groomers than any city in the country, and most are stuck choosing between a corporate chair that takes half their money or a salon buildout they can't afford. Snout Studios is the third option: a private suite you join on a simple weekly membership, fully equipped, in the heart of Echo Park.
LA pairs the largest groomer talent pool in the U.S. with ~45% dog ownership across 13 million people — demand that never slows down.
At a corporate chain, 40–60% of every groom goes to the company. In your own Snout suite, you pay one flat weekly fee and keep the rest. Here's a typical week for a Los Angeles groomer.
Illustrative example. Actual earnings depend on your pricing, schedule, and bookings.
LA pet parents pay real money for grooming, and they pay it year-round. Here's what a single full-service groom typically runs across the city — the rates you set and keep 100% of in your own Echo Park suite.
| Service | Typical Los Angeles price |
|---|---|
| Full groom · small dog | $60–$90 |
| Full groom · medium dog | $80–$130 |
| Full groom · large or doodle | $100–$180 |
| Private / mobile-style premium groom | $110–$200+ |
| Average LA grooming session | ~$83 |
Grooming in Los Angeles runs roughly 38% above the national average, and the city's mild, year-round climate means no slow season — dogs stay active and need grooming all twelve months. With 90+ established LA groomers averaging 4.7 stars, demand is deep and proven, and there's room for independents who own their book. At these rates, 5–6 grooms a day is a strong week — and every dollar is yours.
LA pet parents spend on grooming year-round and increasingly want private, one-on-one care instead of an assembly line — exactly what an independent groomer in a Snout suite delivers.
One flat weekly suite fee. We never take a cut of your service revenue.

Most Los Angeles groomers are stuck choosing between a corporate chair and a six-figure buildout. There's a better way.
