Monty's dog grooming salon

Monty's dog grooming salon is a small, one-groomer operation in Sebastopol, on the southern edge of Ballarat. Customers consistently name the groomer, Jordan, as the reason they keep coming back, and describe a salon where dogs are styled individually rather than run through a production line. Several reviewers mention that owners are welcome to stay and watch the groom rather than dropping off and returning an hour later, which they say settles both the dog and themselves.

The recurring themes in feedback are patience and a calm room. One regular describes an elderly husky shedding through an entire appointment without the groom being rushed; another brought an excitable puppy in for its first haircut and found the pace unhurried. Reviewers also mention the finished result looking neat and deliberately styled, and more than one calls the pricing good value for money. It suits owners of nervous or older dogs, first-time puppy clients, and anyone who would rather stay in the room than wait outside.
