What is Snout Studios in Nashville?
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 coming to Nashville, 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.
Go independent in Nashville — without opening a salon from scratch.
Nashville is booming with young professionals moving in, and its patio-and-trail dog culture is growing right alongside. With few direct competitors, it's a rare first-mover market — and Snout Studios gives Nashville groomers a private suite to claim it.
Why Nashville is built for independent groomers
Nashville combines ~50% dog ownership across 2 million people with rapid in-migration and very low direct competition in the salon-suite category.
Keep what you earn. Do the math.
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 Nashville groomer.
Illustrative example. Actual earnings depend on your pricing, schedule, and bookings.
What Nashville pet parents actually pay for grooming
Grooming is priced by metro, and Nashville is no exception. Here's what a typical full-service groom runs locally — the rates you set, and keep all of, in your own private Snout Studios suite.
| Service | Typical Nashville price |
|---|---|
| Full groom · small dog | $55–$85 |
| Full groom · medium dog | $75–$120 |
| Full groom · large or doodle | $95–$165 |
| Premium / mobile-style groom | $110–$190+ |
| Average local grooming session | ~$78 |
Independent groomers in Nashville keep 100% of these rates — your only fixed cost is one flat 450/week membership, with no commission taken on a single groom. At local pricing, a steady book of 5–6 dogs a day adds up fast.
