Happy Friday Daily Groomers!

This is our second year running the Top Grooming Business Awards, and wow—over 5,000 applicants came through!

It took weeks of reviewing, researching, and deliberating… but we’re proud to finally unveil this year’s winners.

These businesses aren’t just giving great haircuts—they’re building better communities, one bath, brush, and blowout at a time.

We know some amazing groomers still don’t know this award exists (or forgot to apply). That’s on us—and we’re already working on ways to reach more of you next year. No state, city or small town groomer left behind!

We’re also learning that emails don’t always get checked 😅—so if you applied and haven’t heard back yet, go dig through your inbox. Search for the subject line: “You won.” Check spam. Promotions. Anywhere. Still can’t find it? Just reply to this and I’ll resend it!

We’ve got big dreams for this.

In a few years? Maybe a fancy in-person ceremony. More podcast and article features. More perks and prizes from other industry partners.

But for now…

🎉 Let’s celebrate the 2025 Top Grooming Businesses.

These grooming businesses are making tails wag, turning nervous pups into confident dogs, and inspiring the next generation of grooming pros. (They may also be pulling a few dog hairs out of their mouths during the process 😂😂)

👉 Check out the full list here

You deserve the recognition and The Daily Groomer is here to celebrate you.

Thanks for making this industry what it is. We couldn’t do this without you! 🙂
