Can you believe there is a hair salon that you can go to with your dogs? It's not a doggy groomer - it's a real people hair salon & spa! Jean-Luc Salon in Georgetown welcomes well-mannered canines, in fact, one of their stylists comes to work with his dog! So Kiki, Organic Doggy Kitchen's canine culinary advisor, and I went to visit LoAnn, my favorite hair stylist. LoAnn is really the greatest, I have been seeing her for 10 years now but this is the first time I went to get my hair done with my dog! I was not 100% sure how Kiki would behave, but she did enjoy the visit very much.
Here are my pointers as to what to expect when you go visit LoAnn with your dog.
1. Your dog must be able to accompnay you in a small change room and wait with you while you change into a salon robe.
2. Your dog must be able to go up and down the narrow and somewhat steep staircases.
3. Your dog must not freak out from the sound of hair dryers.
4. Your dog must be able to relax on the floor. Kiki enjoyed lounging on the well-polished hardwood floor. But she is a northern dog and she prefers cool, hard floors.
5. Your dog must be patient and be able to wait for you at your feet. Don't bring your dog if you are coloring your hair and expect to stay in the salon for hours!
And at the end, your doggy may receive a special delicious treat! Then, you can stroll through Georgetown with great hair with your dog and enjoy a happy doggy day in nation's capital!
Stay tuned, Kiki and Koby, Organic Doggy Kitchen's taste testers will be reporting on more doggy friendly places & fun dog events in the D.C. area!
