Pet-friendly salons: key benefits & important considerations

Have you ever considered making your salon pet-friendly? A spokesperson for luxury nail salon, Paint Nails London, shares the advantages and what you need to consider.

Why did you decide to become a pet-friendly salon?

We decided to become a pet-friendly salon because so many of our clients are animal lovers and their pets are like their children. We wanted to create a welcoming environment where they don’t have to worry about leaving their pets at home. After all, who doesn’t love animals? It felt natural to allow clients to bring their pets along. We believe that sharing these moments of comfort and relaxation with your pet can make the salon experience even more enjoyable.

What additional health & safety measures do you put in place?

We make sure to have fresh water and treats available for dogs at all times, to keep them happy and well-hydrated. We also maintain a clean space, ensuring that any accidents or messes are dealt with promptly to preserve a hygienic environment. Because our regular clients know that we’re pet-friendly, they expect to see animals in the salon. However, we still communicate with new clients to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe around dogs. Clear guidelines, regular cleaning and respect for everyone in the salon are all part of our protocol.

What benefits does being pet-friendly have for clients?

For many of our clients, their pets are a source of comfort – like emotional support animals. Having them close by during an appointment can ease stress and make the experience more positive. We see how having pets present lifts our clients’ spirits. It adds a warm, homely vibe to the salon, turning what can be an ordinary appointment into something more special.

What benefits does being pet-friendly have for employees?

Our staff love interacting with the dogs when they come in. It’s a great morale booster – playful pets in the salon tend to bring out smiles and laughter, which helps everyone stay motivated and upbeat. A pet-friendly environment doesn’t just benefit clients; it also fosters a stronger sense of community among the team. It’s wonderful to see staff members bonding over their shared love of animals.
