How to Offer Spa Treatments as a Grooming Upgrade
How to Offer Spa Treatments as a Grooming Upgrade
Professional grooming today goes beyond simply washing and styling.
Clients increasingly value services that support coat health, comfort, and long-term results — and spa treatments allow groomers to deliver exactly that.
This guide is designed to help you confidently introduce professional treatment upgrades in a simple, practical way.
⭐ Why Offer Spa Upgrades?
Spa treatments provide clear benefits for both your business and your grooming results.
For your business:
• Increases revenue per groom
• Helps position your salon as premium
• Differentiates you from basic wash services
• Encourages client loyalty and repeat bookings
For your grooming work:
• Improves coat manageability
• Reduces brushing time
• Supports healthier skin and coat condition
• Enhances the final finish and shine
⭐ How to Position Treatments to Clients
Most clients will say yes when they understand the benefit.
Keep explanations simple and focused on results they care about.
Example client explanations:
For shedding coats using our De-Shedding Clay Spa:
“We offer a professional de-shedding treatment that works during the bath to loosen trapped undercoat. It usually helps us remove up to 50% more loose coat compared to a standard groom, which means much less shedding at home.”
For coats that need nourishment & hydration using our Deep Conditioning Mask:
“I can see the coat would really benefit from some extra moisture today. We can add our deep conditioning treatment — it hydrates both the coat and skin during the bath, helping leave it softer, healthier and much easier to maintain and help to keep the coat tangle free."
For build-up or greasy coats using our Detox Clay Spa then followed by Ultra Conditioner:
“I’d suggest our detox spa treatment today — it helps reset the coat by removing built-up oils and residue, then we apply a conditioning treatment to bring the moisture back so the coat feels fresh and balanced.”
For sensitive skin using our Soothing or Calming Clay Spa Treatment:
“We can add our calming spa treatment today — it’s specially designed for sensitive skin and helps support comfort during the grooming process.”
For dogs experiencing hair thinning or coat loss using our Healthy Coat & Hair Support Clay Spa Treatment: “I’d recommend adding our Healthy Coat treatment today — it supports skin balance and improves coat strength, helping the coat look fuller, healthier and more resilient between grooms.”
Clients respond best to clear, practical outcomes.
⭐ Clay Spa Upgrade Services
Clay spa treatments are often offered as a premium upgrade for dogs that would benefit from deeper coat conditioning and skin support.
They are typically used after cleansing as a dedicated treatment step to help improve coat condition and support healthy, balanced skin. Clay Spas may also be used as a detoxifying treatment for heavily soiled coats, helping to remove build-up and enhance the natural brightness of the fur.
Because clay treatments feel more specialised, they are commonly included in luxury spa packages or recommended for dogs needing extra coat care.
Groomers can introduce the service using simple wording such as:
“We offer a professional clay spa treatment that helps support coat condition and leaves the coat feeling clean, soft and balanced.”
⭐ Mineral Spa Add-On Services
Mineral spa treatments provide a simple way to enhance grooming services while supporting coat balance and manageability.
Alongside its coat-conditioning benefits, the Mineral Spa treatment provides skin-supportive care. It can help promote comfort in dogs that frequently itch, bite or scratch, supporting overall skin balance during grooming.
They are typically used after shampooing as a mid-groom step to refresh and reset the coat before conditioning or finishing.
Because they are quick to apply and lightweight, they can be easily offered as a small add-on or included within premium grooming packages.
Groomers can introduce the service using simple wording such as:
“We offer a mineral spa treatment that helps refresh and rebalance the coat during grooming, leaving it feeling light and easy to manage.”
⭐ Paw Spa Add-On Services
Paw spa treatments are a quick and easy way to enhance a grooming service while supporting paw comfort.
The Paw Comfort Mineral Spa is particularly beneficial for dogs with irritated feet. It helps support skin comfort in paws that are prone to redness, sensitivity, or frequent licking, biting or chewing. It is also commonly chosen for dogs whose feet are affected by moisture imbalance, such as those prone to yeast-related irritation or allergy-related discomfort
They are typically offered after pad trimming and cleaning as a simple add-on step that takes only a few minutes to complete.
Groomers can introduce the service with simple wording such as:
“We offer a gentle paw spa treatment that helps cleanse and soften the paws during grooming. It’s a quick add-on that leaves them feeling refreshed.”
Because the treatment is fast to apply and uses minimal product, it can be easily added to standard grooms or included in premium spa packages.
⭐ Suggested Pricing Guidance
Spa treatments are typically positioned as optional upgrades.
Common add-on ranges per treatment:
• £5–£15 for small dogs
• £15–£20 for medium dogs
• £20+ for large dogs
Pricing may vary depending on coat type, time required, and your salon positioning.
