New Pet Grooming Business Opens In Alabaster

ALABASTER, AL - A new business has opened in Alabaster, and pets throughout the area might be barking (or meowing) for joy about it. Shaggy Chic Grooming, the newest pet grooming store in the Birmingham metro area, has opened its doors at 104 Market Center Drive in Alabaster.

Some of Shaggy Chic's services offered include baths, haircuts, de-shedding treatments and a dog washing area. Owner Tonya Lammons told the Shelby County Reporter that Shaggy Chic also offers "post-grooming photography, complete with seasonally themed props, costumes and backdrops."

Lammons already has a background in pet grooming, as she started as a groomer at PetSmart in Alabaster several years ago and also worked at the Alabaster Animal Clinic. “I knew that I wanted to stay in Alabaster because all of my clientele is already here,” Lammons said.

Shaggy Chic offers a 10 percent discount to police officers, firefighters and other first responders, as well as active military personnel and veterans. Teachers and educators receive a five-percent discount. Through Shaggy Chic’s referral program, Lammons said anyone who refers a new customer receives a $5 discount.

Shaggy Chic is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday through Friday.
