Grooming smocks aren't what they used to be!
MEET THE MAKER
I searched everywhere for smocks that were both functional and stylish, but I couldn't find any with vertical zippered pockets, longer length, side slits, and durable zippers. So, I decided to create them! Now, after wearing my work uniforms, people constantly tell me they never realized how uncomfortable their other work clothes were. Discover what it’s like to feel and look great at work again!

Hair Resistant
Wipe or blow off hair with ease in our fur-resistant grooming smocks and pants. Say goodbye to hair getting stuck between threads or mounds of hair in your dryer's lint trap.

One-of-a-kind smocks designed with groomers in mind
What if your grooming clothes could be your going-out clothes? Stay fresh and clean to go straight from the pet salon to your evening plans!
This is the cutest design! My favorite design on a smock. I get so many compliments on it. Great quality too! I had to size up on this style but it fits well.
Incredibly Professional Attire! I purchased multiple Dorian style shirts that complimented my salon aesthetic. They are PERFECT! I recently put a large black cat in a lion trim while wearing my Dorian. I do the majority of the shave work with the cat in my lap. Not an ounce of coat stayed glued to my shirt!
Best Smock ever!!I love this smock so much! It’s so cute and the hair falls right off of it!! I literally have almost one of each! I only have a couple more to go ;)

Be the envy of every salon with this smock
Let customers speak for us
This is SUCH a study material compared to my last smock! i dont thing any rogue dog nails will be tearing through this one, it also still dries quick and doesnt collect hair slivers!
It’s cute, sort of tomboyish, lightweight, and very much as advertised. It dries fast and doesn’t collect hair. I’m large busted but small in the back and shoulders and the small fits great.
We bought multiple sizes of this smock and I love them all!! The company is so personal and I will definitely be purchasing from here again! Loved it!
I'm not sure how I came across this business, but I'm glad I did. I decided to try out a few of their tops and pants, and I am absolutely in love! I also took a chance and bought a top for my husband (he's so hard to please), and he was very impressed with the quality. He's been wearing it every day since I gave it to him. The best part is that I have finally found a company that has delivered on its claims. At the end of the day, it is so refreshing not to fight with getting hair off of me anymore.
These bandanas are such amazing quality, my clients had commented on how much nicer they are than the ones my employer supplies. Definitely will but again! Only wish they sold a bigger variety pack
Love it super light weight and no hair sticks to it!!!
I wasn’t sure if this material was going to be effective at repelling hair, it actually is!
At first thought the fabric was to dense and it was going to be very hot, but its actually the opposite!
It’s very cool easy to dry and the fit is perfect it doesn’t restrict your movements and it lets your body breathe while keeping the hairs away!
And the extra cute prints are a must!
Excellent product!
I love the style and construction of these pants. They almost look like dress pants. The packaging and personal note were a great addition to the order. Quality workmanship.
I ordered various styles of smocks from this company, and love each and every single one. No hair sticks to me, and any liquids dry right off instantly. The designs and patterns are beautiful.
The fit was great and delivered what they said - no hair to be found after a days work of grooming.
I’m 5’2” and weigh 105. The xs is a perfect fit. Comfortable, stylish, lightweight and resists hair. Love it.

Anal Glands: Groomer or Vet
Anal gland expression has long been a routine grooming service, but it’s not always necessary for every pet. Healthy anal glands typically empty naturally, and excessive expression can sometimes do more harm than good. Groomers play a vital role in identifying signs of anal gland issues, such as scooting or swelling, and providing care or referrals when needed. By offering this service as an optional add-on rather than a standard procedure, groomers can ensure pets receive tailored care while enhancing their business offerings.
