Jerri’s Pet Grooming

We are new to Fletcher area, but I have been having multiple dogs groomed for more than 30yrs. Called on a Friday to get an estimate for what Ms. Jerri charges for a ‘standard’ groom on a 44lbs English Springer Spaniel. She informed me that she doesn’t give out price information on the phone and that you have to make a trip into her grooming shack, so she can see your pet, before she will give you a price. She said: «You’ll have to bring the dog in for an estimate.» I was a little floored by the answer, as ‘never’ in 30yrs have I heard that from a groomer that works in the pet grooming industry. I explained to her that there are grooming standards for ‘every breed’ and asked why she doesn’t have a price list on those standard’s. Her response was: «we just don’t do things that way here.» Everyone knows that there are exceptions to the ‘standards’ and that if you bring in your dog and you have not cared for them properly (i.e. matted) then that is when the groomer tells you that there will be additional charges. You wouldn’t make a trip into a human hair salon if they told you that «we have to see you and your hair before we can tell you how much we are going to charge you.» Duh! Beware! Business practices like Ms. Jerri’s are usually used to ‘size up’ a customer by seeing what kind of car’s they pull up in; how they dress and present themselves and then they ‘price accordingly.’ No way to run a business Ms. Jerri!

Jerri is a great groomer. We have been taking our dogs to her for years and she ALWAYS does a wonderful job on them. She puts bows in our girls hair and our boy comes home with a bandana. They like going to see miss Jerri. She is also very reasonably priced.
