  • A great learning podcast

    I recently decided to be a dog groomer and want to be a mobile groomer as well. I have listened every minute possible to the podcast and catching up and have written so many ideas down. After I graduate from grooming academy I can’t wait to have my own business. Thank you both for a fun and educational podcast to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Salon & Mobile: What It Takes to Build Beyond One Model
Q: What were the key upfront costs to start mobile versus salon, and how did you finance them?
Mobile down payments around $25,000 with additional $10k–$15k for supplies and insurance; salon down payments significantly higher, roughly $70k–$100k, plus longer lead times during construction. Financing often involved leveraging lean operating periods, credit cards with 0% interest, and using revenue from other grooming work or side classes to accumulate initial capital.
From No Grooming Experience to a 5 Van Mobile Business
Q: How did you know when it was time to add another van?
The decision is driven by demand and the cost of downtime; they monitor utilization, income per groomer, and market opportunities, weighing the payoff of expansion against ongoing payments.
From No Grooming Experience to a 5 Van Mobile Business
Q: What do the next three to five years look like for the company?
The vision includes expanding to six or seven vans, potentially consolidating Santa Fe into its own operation, and continuing geographic growth into the south while balancing personal downtime.
From No Grooming Experience to a 5 Van Mobile Business
Q: What was the breakthrough or secret to scaling from one to five vans?
The breakthrough was hiring the right team, implementing structured HR practices, and leveraging external financing through nonprofit lenders to fund van purchases, coupled with disciplined cost management and marketing to keep vans full.
From No Grooming Experience to a 5 Van Mobile Business
Q: When did you first realize this business would not be passive?
Christina shares that realization came before opening, driven by her control-freak tendency and need to implement systems and oversight to ensure the business ran to her standards.
