Pet grooming suite memberships in Santa Monica.
Snout Studios is coming soon to Santa Monica, bringing private, fully equipped grooming suites to independent pet professionals near the coast.
What is Snout Studios in Santa Monica?
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 Santa Monica, 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 Santa Monica — without opening a salon from scratch.
Santa Monica and the surrounding coastal neighborhoods are home to active pet owners who value convenient, attentive care. Snout Studios is planning a private-suite model that lets independent groomers build their own business without opening a salon from scratch.
Why Santa Monica is built for independent groomers
A future Santa Monica studio would serve pet professionals and clients across the coastal Westside with a flexible weekly membership.
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 Santa Monica groomer.
Illustrative example. Actual earnings depend on your pricing, schedule, and bookings.
What Santa Monica pet parents actually pay for grooming
Grooming is priced by metro, and Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica price |
|---|---|
| Full groom · small dog | $50–$75 |
| Full groom · medium dog | $70–$110 |
| Full groom · large or doodle | $90–$145 |
| Premium / mobile-style groom | $100–$175+ |
| Average local grooming session | ~$70 |
Independent groomers in Santa Monica 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.
