About us

Welcome to Salty Dog Grooming Pawlors—where your pet is treated like family.

Locally owned and family-operated, we’re proud to serve the Virginia Beach community with expert grooming services rooted in compassion, experience, and trust. Our salon was built on the belief that every pet deserves personalized care in a safe, loving environment—and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Our talented groomers, Kristen Carolino and Jen Ligon, are professionally trained, certified, and bring over 20 years of grooming experience each. Their dedication to quality and kindness has earned the loyalty of clients who’ve followed them for years, knowing their pets are in the best hands.

At Salty Dog Grooming Pawlors, we’re more than just a grooming salon—we’re a place where pets feel at ease and owners feel confident. We groom all breeds and tailor each session to your dog’s unique needs and personality. We never crate or cage your pet, ensuring a calm, one-on-one experience that minimizes stress and maximizes comfort. That’s why all of our services are by appointment only.

We operate with the utmost respect for your furry family member, and we believe kindness is the foundation of everything we do. From a simple bath to a full grooming makeover, we’re here to make your dog look great, feel happy, and leave with a wagging tail.

Come see why Salty Dog Grooming Pawlors is trusted by so many—and why your pup will love it here too.
