Bath & Tidy
Bath, hand blow-dry, brush-out, nails, ears, sanitary trim, plus a tidy of the face and feet.
Five groomers, one rule: the groomer who starts your dog finishes your dog. No cage dryers, no assembly line, and a photo text the minute they’re ready.


Every groom includes nails, ears, a hand blow-dry and a bandana. Prices go by size and coat, and you see the total before you book.

Bath, hand blow-dry, brush-out, nails, ears, sanitary trim, plus a tidy of the face and feet.

Everything in Bath & Tidy, plus a full haircut in the style you choose: a puppy cut, breed cut or something new.

For doodles, poodles and curly coats: a full brush-out to the skin, a conditioning mask, a haircut and a hand-scissored teddy-bear face.

De-shed shampoo and conditioner, a high-velocity blowout and an undercoat rake. Much less fur on your couch.
No waiting on hold and no guessing when to pick up. You get a text at every step that matters.
Pick a package, a groomer and a morning. We text to confirm within two business hours.
Your groomer does a quick coat check with you and confirms the price before you leave.
Same hands from bath to bow. Dogs relax in an open-front suite, never in a cage dryer.
Most grooms take 2–3 hours. Come any time within the hour after your text.
Five groomers and two bathers, each with a specialty. Meet the salon dogs, too.

Nina and Jonah Park met at grooming school in 2012, then spent seven years at busy salons where dogs moved down a line and waited in cage dryers between steps. In 2019 they rented a corner of Durham’s old Hollins hosiery mill and built the salon they had always wanted to work in.
The rule hasn’t changed since day one: one groomer, one dog, start to finish.
Read the whole story“Keisha got Biscuit's teddy face exactly like the photo I showed her. She called first about two mats behind his ears instead of just shaving him, and I loved that.”
“Moose is 13 with bad hips. Luis let him lie down for the whole bath and took breaks. He came out happy, not exhausted. That's all we wanted.”
“Rocco used to need sedation at our old groomer. Two happy visits with Luis, and now he walks in the door wagging. I didn't think that was possible.”
Request a groom in about two minutes. We text to confirm within two business hours, Monday to Saturday.
