The Velvet Touch Pet Salon

About The Velvet Touch Pet Salon

The Velvet Touch Pet Salon has been grooming dogs and cats in Hinsdale since 1987. The team works with all breeds of both, and they groom each dog to the AKC breed standard. Hand scissoring is a specialty here, and the salon also does show grooming for dogs that compete in the ring.

Tammy Siert's story is a big part of the salon's history. She started in 1990 answering phones at the front desk while she was in college studying foreign languages. She soon fell in love with grooming, began assisting the groomers, and worked her way toward becoming a full-time stylist. She competed at grooming events around the country and won many awards. After stepping away to raise a family, she returned to the competitive ring, earned a spot on GroomTeam USA, and later worked as a Global Educator for Andis Company. She has since taught and judged grooming around the world.

The stylists keep learning through industry seminars and annual grooming conferences, and some of them have won national competition awards. The salon's approach is gentle and calm. Each pet gets the time and attention it needs, and the team treats every animal as part of someone's family. The staff includes stylists, an apprentice, bathing technicians, a salon manager, and front desk coordinators who help clients from the first phone call onward.

Beyond the grooming room, the salon offers shampoo and deep conditioning services, along with other add-ons. There is a retail shop that carries specialty pet products. For dogs that need a place to stay, the salon also offers doggie daycare and boarding.
