Lucy Jones opened the doors to Lucy’s Luxury Pet Spa in Tecumseh in October 2022, but her experience in pet grooming began long before she became a business owner. As a college student at Eastern Michigan University, she took a job as a pet bather at a corporate salon and learned how to groom while she finished her degree in science education. That was 17 years ago, and her passion for animals led her to work with a man who presented exotic animal shows for elementary schools as well as a position in grooming at a pet store.

The Clinton resident who grew up in Canton, has created a business around taking care of the grooming needs of pets, with services such as bathing, nail trims, special cuts, dye work, and more. She employs a receptionist and a second groomer with 30 years’ experience, as well as having an apprentice who is learning from her how to groom animals.

Jones has pets of her own, including a cat that is almost 18 years old and a chihuahua that is 15 years old. She doesn’t balk at unusual pets that come in to be groomed. “We groom dogs, cats, we’ve done ferrets, we’ve done guinea pigs, birds,” she said. “We’re a full service salon so we do nails, ears, baths, full haircuts whether they want the AKC standard cut or a creative grooming with mohawks or dye jobs. We pretty much do it all.”

Grooming at Lucy’s Luxury Pet Spa is by appointment only. They’re open Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9am-5pm, with later appointments available Monday and Wednesday from noon-8pm.
