The Hair Of The Hound

The Hair of the Hound is a luxury dog grooming salon based at Chipperfield Garden Centre, offering a tailored, one-on-one experience for pets in Kings Langley and surrounding areas. With over five years of industry experience, the salon specialises in breed-standard trims, hand-stripping, and natural grooming products, ensuring every dog receives a calm and stress-free visit. The team is particularly skilled at working with nervous dogs and breeds that require extra patience, such as Mini Schnauzers and Pomeranians.

Services include full grooms, hand stripping, puppy introductions, wash and brush options, and ultrasonic teeth cleaning, all priced by size. The salon uses high-end, natural products and focuses on a gentle approach to avoid discomfort. For example, the hand-stripping service is designed for wire-haired breeds, while the puppy groom offers a gentle introduction to grooming for young dogs.

Customers frequently praise the salon for its calm environment and the patience of groomer Ellie, who is described as a "schnauzer whisperer" and a "dog whisperer" for her ability to put anxious dogs at ease. Reviewers highlight Ellie’s attention to detail, especially for breeds like Mini Schnauzers and Pomeranians, and note that her calm, fear-free approach makes grooming a positive experience for even the most nervous pets. The salon’s individualised service and personal touch are also frequently mentioned as standout features.
