Fancy Pet Salon to Open Second Lynchburg Location and Welcome Groomer Carolina

Fancy Pet Grooming Salon, a cage-free grooming studio serving the greater Lynchburg area, today announced plans to open a second location and bring on its first additional groomer within the next four to six months. The expansion comes as demand from clients across Lynchburg, Forest, Bedford, and Madison Heights has consistently outpaced available appointment slots.

A growing share of referrals now comes specifically from veterinarians and rescue organizations seeking a low-stress alternative for dogs that cannot tolerate standard kennel-style grooming environments.

“Every dog that comes through our door deserves to feel comfortable and loved, not rushed through an assembly line. As we grow, that philosophy doesn’t change. Adding a second location and bringing Carolina onto the team means we can help more dogs while keeping that same personal touch, especially for the anxious pups who need it most.”

— Venus Morales Cobo, owner and lead groomer, Fancy Pet Grooming Salon

Expansion Details

Second location: A second grooming studio in downtown Lynchburg, just two minutes off the expressway, increasing appointment availability for clients across Lynchburg, Forest, Bedford, and Madison Heights. The specific address will be announced within 60 days.

New team member: Carolina, Fancy Pet Salon’s first additional groomer, has been carefully selected and trained in the salon’s documented low-stress, cage-free protocols. She will begin seeing clients independently at the downtown location once it opens.

Protected high-anxiety days: Venus will continue grooming at the original location on designated days reserved exclusively for high-anxiety, reactive, and senior dogs, preserving the quiet, one-on-one environment those dogs require.

Fancy Pet Grooming Salon uses all-natural, hypoallergenic products and sends owners photo and video updates throughout each appointment. No kennels and no waiting areas mean each dog is the sole focus of the visit from drop-off to pickup.

The salon currently offers basic grooming, luxury spa treatments, and creative dye styling. Services are by appointment only at fancypetsalon.com or by calling (434) 227-3619.
