Poodle Grooming in Charlotte, NC
Poodle coat is dense, curly, and unforgiving of a rushed groom — it needs to be brushed to the skin, dried straight, and scissored with a plan. We groom toy, miniature, and standard Poodles in the trim you want, from a simple puppy cut to a clean face, feet, and tail.
What's included
Brush out to the skin
Line brushing through the dense curl so nothing is left packed at the skin before clipping.
Bath & conditioning
Two washes and a coat treatment that softens curl and makes scissoring cleaner.
Straight hand dry
High-velocity and hand drying to stretch the curl — the step that makes a poodle trim look sharp.
Your choice of trim
Puppy cut, lamb trim, teddy bear head, or clean face, feet, and tail.
Nails, ears & pads
Nail trim, ear cleaning, paw pad shave-out, and sanitary trim included.
Topknot & finish
Scissor finishing on the head, ears, and legs so the trim grows out evenly.
Poodle grooming is priced by size and coat length. Full grooms start at $85 — call (980) 307-0940 for a quote on your dog's trim.
How the appointment works
1. Trim consult
We confirm the length and style you want — clean face or teddy bear head, and the body length that fits your brushing routine.
2. Pre-clip and brush
Rough work and full brush out before the bath so mats aren't set in by water.
3. Bath
Double wash with a conditioning treatment made for dense curly coats.
4. Straight dry
Hand dried and stretched straight — no cage dryers — so the finish is even.
5. Scissor finish
Clipper work, hand scissoring on head, ears, and legs, then nails, ears, and pads.

Poodle grooming FAQ
How often should a Poodle be groomed?
Every 4–6 weeks. Poodle coat grows continuously and doesn't shed out, so it mats at the skin if it goes much longer than six weeks between grooms.
How much does Poodle grooming cost in Charlotte?
Full grooms start at $85 and scale with size and length. Standard Poodles in a longer trim take the most time — call (980) 307-0940 and we'll quote honestly before you book.
What's the difference between a puppy cut and a lamb trim?
A puppy cut is one even length all over. A lamb trim leaves the legs slightly longer than the body with a rounded head, which is a bit more classic Poodle in look.
Do you shave the face, feet, and tail?
If that's the look you want, yes. Many owners prefer a teddy bear head instead — we'll do either and show you the difference.
My Poodle hates the dryer. What do you do?
We hand dry at a pace your dog can handle and never use cage dryers. Nervous dogs get one groomer for the whole appointment and as many breaks as needed.
