Why Nashville Owners Choose Hillcrest for Grooming

Salon-quality products. Hands-on drying. No assembly line.

01

Hands-on drying, not cage drying

Cage drying is easier, but it leaves a coat half-dry and frizzy. We hand-dry every dog. It's more effort, and it shows: a finish that actually lasts and feels right when you pick them up.

02

Salon-quality products on every coat

Massaging warm baths with salon-quality shampoos and conditioners. Coat-specific products where it matters. We're not buying the cheapest gallon jug at the wholesale store.

03

Meet Jordan, your dog's groomer

Jordan has been with us for years, and she's our only groomer, on purpose. The same hands work on your dog every visit, so she knows every grooming dog personally: their tolerance, their style, and how to make each appointment calmer than the last.

04

Walk-in nail trims, no fuss

Nail trims don't always need an appointment. Stop in during business hours for $25 walk-in nail service, perfect for dogs who hate the full-groom experience but still need their nails done.

What Pet Owners Say

Trusted by Nashville families.

I took my very anxious 4 month old puppy here for his first hair cut and the staff was so sweet and patient with him. They did everything they could to make him feel comfortable and have a positive experience associated with being groomed. Not to mention he got the cutest cut ever and the staff gave me tips on how to better care for his coat.
Natalie Johnson Google Review
This was an amazing experience. My first visit but won't be my last. They did an amazing job on both my fur babies and one of them was a whole hand full! They were patient and caring. If you need anything grooming done this is the place to go.
Diana Burke Google Review
The ladies at Hillcrest are so friendly and personable. They always make me feel welcomed when we walk in to get our dog groomed. They listen to exactly how you want your dog to be cut and take specific notes to ensure accuracy.

The Full Groom

What's included in a full groom.

Every full groom is a complete nose-to-tail session, not a quick rinse and clip. Massaging warm bath with salon-quality products. Hands-on drying. Nails. Ears. Anal glands. Haircut to your preference. Seasonal bandana and cologne to send your dog home looking and smelling sharp.

Partial grooms are also available if your dog only needs the face, feet, or sanitary area cleaned up between full appointments.

One thing we don't do: dematting on severely matted coats. If your dog's coat is past the point where brushing helps, we'll recommend a complete shave down for a fresh start rather than make the experience traumatic. From there, we'll guide you on the products and techniques to use at home between appointments, and help you set a grooming schedule that maintains the style you want.
