Velvet Tails

“At Velvet Tails, grooming is unrushed and individualized,” a business description reads.

“Appointments are intentionally staggered, dogs and cats are handled in a quiet, separated environment, and every service uses high-quality products with gentle techniques. We reimagined grooming as a spa ritual: calm, one-on-one appointments where comfort comes first. No rushing – just expert care for gorgeous, relaxed pets.”

The facility, now booking appointments starting Dec. 7, has a tagline of “where calm meets craft.”

The salon’s ownership team – professional pet groomers and pet stylists with more than 20 years of combined experience in the industry – offers advanced styling services in a low-stress environment.

Care is personalized, and premium tools are utilized to offer breed-specific and stylized cuts.

“Every detail is tuned for a calmer visit, a beautiful finish, and fewer surprises at checkout,” an online message reads.

Velvet Tails offers calm, one-on-one dog grooming – with minimal to no kennel time, and individuals can choose the package that fits their pet and lifestyle.

Visits last between an hour and two hours based on chosen package, and package pricing varies based on included services.

For example, a “Serenity Shower” bath and brush package, featuring “everything your pet needs to feel refreshed,” starts at $60, while a “Velvet Tails, Toes and Nose” bath and haircut package, offering the “ultimate glow-up” for your pet, starts at $80.

The Velvet Tails Toes and Nose package includes a blueberry facial, aromatherapy-infused warm bath, hydrating and soothing shampoo, deep conditioning treatment, paw balm treatment and paw massage, teeth brushing and breath freshener, ear cleaning, nail trimming/buffing and filling, specialized haircut consultation, face and feet trim and basic full body haircut and styling, finishing fragrance mist and accessory.

Certified cat groomers have specialized training in feline behavior, stress-free handling and coat-care techniques that keep cats calm and comfortable.

Appointment only services allow the team to stagger nervous cats and dogs, and dividers are used to block visibility of other pets.

Grooming professionals read each pet’s body language and offer breaks as needed, ensuring every dog and cat feels safe and relaxed.

A “Velvet Paw” bathing experience, starting at $80, includes light double-brush and de-shedding, deep-cleansing bath, warm towel wrap, teeth brushing, nail trim and paw balm, feet trim and sanitary trim, ear cleaning and eye wipe, light comb-out and fluff dry and fragrance mist.

A “Velvet Mane” meditative spa experience, starting at $115, includes everything from the Velvet Paw package, plus a full feline facial, full grooming and full de-shedding.
