May still be too pricey but Woof Gang Bakery at the corner of Davis and High House (Preston area) has a self-wash station with blowdryer, etc. as well as full-service grooming by appointment. It looks like grooming is priced by the weight/size of the dog...

Just the other day I took Dixie Doodle for a full spa treatment to Dazzling Dog Sunset Lakes Commons. The full treatment, including all the disgusting doggy things to do, bath, and a trim, and dremeling her nails, was $70 with tip. Seems a lot?
There was a contact a while ago on FB from a lady who comes to your house. I can't find it now. Here is a good resource: Find a Veterinarian - Local Vets and Veterinary Clinics, Vet Services

All About Pets Grooming in N. Raleigh does the lion cut on my persian cat for $35. Most other places charge $60 or so. I would imagine they are reasonable with dogs, too.

Yep, the consequence of a dog that needs grooming beyond the occasional bath! Our Standard Poodle costs us $85+tip roughly every six weeks.

I have to get out dog groomed every eight weeks but she's also only 15 pounds so I guess less dog to shave lol.

You get what you pay for with dog grooming.

Dog grooming is unregulated and does not require a license. Anyone off the street can pick up clippers and claim to be a groomer tomorrow.

Compared to human hair stylist, dog groomers do 10 times more work on clients, work on aggressive and hyper moving targets, and a dog's full groom can take 4 or 5 times the amount of time and "product" to complete compared to getting your own hair done.

If your dog groomer is very cheap, I would be very careful. Groomers already make much less $ per hour compared to human hairdressers, and when you break it all down, you may be asking for someone who will do a whole lot of work, for less than a livable wage.

There is a massive gap between groomers and the level of safety and professionalism/correct grooming that is offered, from person to person.

I agree. and that is what the sign at our groomers says. Plus your beautician is not going to brush your teeth, clean the boogers our of your eyes, and clear your anal glands.
"cheap at twice the price"
