Experienced Dog Groomers Wanted – New Woodstock Location

Groom Woodstock is hiring!

We’re opening a brand-new salon in Woodstock, IL and actively hiring experienced, professional groomers who take pride in their craft and want to grow in a groomer-first environment.

If you’re tired of rushed appointments, inconsistent pay, or feeling undervalued, this is a different kind of shop.

What You’ll Earn & Why It Matters

  • 50% Commission on ALL services (including upgrades & nail trims)
  • Keep 100% of your tips
  • Weekly pay — no waiting, no surprises
  • Retail incentives + bonus opportunities

Bottom line: Your skill directly drives your income here. No ceilings, no games.

Why Groomers Choose Us

We’ve built this salon around you, not just the business.

  • Groomer-focused scheduling (quality over quantity)
  • Supportive, low-drama work environment
  • Consistent, loyal clientele (no scrambling to fill your books)
  • Clean, safe, and professionally run facility
  • Management that understands grooming—not just numbers

Schedule That Works for You

  • Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
  • Saturday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (required)
  • Always closed Sundays + 1 weekday off

Predictable hours. No late nights. Real work-life balance.

Your Role

  • Deliver high-quality grooms based on client expectations
  • Perform full-service grooming (bathing, drying, haircuts, nails, ears, etc.)
  • Identify and communicate pet health concerns when needed
  • Provide a great experience for both pets and their owners
  • Maintain a clean, safe workspace

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 1–3+ years professional grooming experience
  • Strong handling skills and understanding of dog behavior
  • Ability to groom safely, efficiently, and confidently
  • Reliable, team-oriented, and customer-focused
  • Comfortable working with dogs 50+ lbs when needed

Real Benefits (Not Just Buzzwords)

  • Paid Time Off + Paid Holidays
  • Free groom for your pet (1/month)
  • Employee discounts on retail
  • Sharpening allowance
  • Uniform allowance
  • Quarterly team outings + holiday events
  • Flexible scheduling options

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Most salons talk about “great culture.”
We focus on what actually matters:

  • Fair pay
  • Respect for your time
  • A steady flow of clients
  • A team that has your back

Location: Woodstock, IL (In-person position)

Pay: From $25.00 per hour

Benefits:

  • Employee discount
  • Paid time off
  • Uniform allowance

Experience:

  • Pet grooming: 2 years (Required)

Work Location: In person
