A shop that says the price out loud
Clover & Clip Grooming is a pet grooming shop at 74 Clover Walk in Asheville, working to a scope that is agreed before the appointment starts.
The shop takes six services and nothing else. Each one has a written scope and a published price, and the coat is checked against that scope before any work begins. A coat that needs more than the booked service is re-quoted at that point, and the visitor decides.
Nothing is added during an appointment. There is no upsell at the table, no package, and no charge that appears only on the way out. What the animal went in for is what it comes out having had, unless somebody agreed otherwise first.
Three principles
-
The coat is checked before the price is fixed
A published price applies to a published scope. The coat is read against that scope first, and a difference is named then rather than at the end.
-
The animal sets the pace
An animal that is distressed is stopped for, not worked through. An appointment that ends early is charged for what was actually done.
-
No promised result
Clover & Clip Grooming states what it will do. It makes no claim about how long a coat will hold, and it attaches no outcome to a breed.
What a visit looks like
-
Step 1
The coat is read
Length, matting, skin and temperament, before anything is switched on.
-
Step 2
The scope is confirmed
One of the six services, or a plain statement that none of them fits today.
-
Step 3
The price is confirmed
Out loud, before the work starts, including what would change it.
-
Step 4
The work is reported back
Against the scope that was agreed, with a note of anything worth knowing next time.
What this shop does not do
Clover & Clip Grooming is a grooming shop and not a veterinary practice. It does not diagnose, treat or medicate, and an animal showing signs of pain or illness is referred to a vet rather than groomed. It also takes no walk-ins: every visit is arranged in advance so the table is genuinely free.
A question about a coat, a breed or a price
The contact form takes a question and sends it to the shop. Book goes to the arrangements page; neither one confirms a time by itself.
