We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Salon Receptionist to be the welcoming face of our premier dog grooming salon and help keep our busy salon running smoothly.

Applicants must be comfortable and experienced handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This is not a desk-only receptionist position—you will interact with dogs throughout the day and must be confident handling them safely.

- Process payments and operate the point-of-sale system accurately
- Maintain accurate client and dog information in our scheduling system
- Communicate salon policies, appointment requirements, and service information clearly
- Coordinate closely with groomers and other team members throughout the day
- Help maintain cleanliness and organization throughout all areas of the salon, including reception, kennel, grooming, and common areas
- Assist with general salon support tasks as needed
What We’re Looking For
- Experience and confidence handling dogs
- Excellent customer service and communication skills
- Dependable, punctual, and reliable
- A strong team player who is willing to help wherever needed
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail
- Able to multitask and stay calm in a busy salon environment
- Comfortable answering phones and communicating professionally with clients
- Comfortable learning scheduling and point-of-sale software
- Friendly and professional demeanor
- A genuine love of dogs and concern for their safety and well-being
Punctuality and dependability are essential for this position. Our salon operates on an appointment-based schedule, and the receptionist plays an important role in ensuring each client and dog is checked in and out efficiently and that the entire team can stay on schedule.
We are a premier dog grooming salon dedicated to providing top-quality care with compassion and professionalism. We are looking for someone dependable who takes pride in their work, works well as part of a team, and is willing to contribute wherever needed to keep the salon running smoothly.
