About PawSnickety Pet Salon
PawSnickety is a luxury boutique grooming salon with two Michigan locations East Lansing and Commerce Township, built on a simple idea: pets deserve a calmer, more beautiful grooming experience, and the people who groom them deserve a workplace that matches.
We're not a volume shop. We book intentionally, we don't rush dogs through, and we've designed every detail of our salons, from the music to the products to the workflow, so that pets stay calm and groomers can do their best work. Our clients choose us because they want the best for their pets. We hire people who take pride in delivering exactly that.
What it's like to work here:
- Craft over churn. Reasonable daily dog counts so you can groom to your standard, not the clock's.
- A salon you'll be proud to show off. Clean, modern, thoughtfully designed spaces with quality equipment and premium products.
- Real support. Owner-operators who are in the business every day, clear systems, and a team culture we actually maintain, not a poster on the wall.
- Room to grow. As we grow, our best people grow with us.
If you're a groomer or bather who cares about the details, the finish, the experience, the way a nervous dog settles when it's handled right, you'll fit in here.
