At Mavilous Touch, there is no one-size-fits-all answer—because there is no one-size-fits-all companion.
Understanding comes first. The grooming follows.
What makes grooming at Mavilous Touch different?
Mavi believes grooming begins before the bath, brush, or scissors. She takes time to observe each companion, understand their signals, and allow trust to develop. With more than 36 years devoted to grooming, she combines technical skill with patience, presence, and individualized care. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
Do you groom both dogs and cats?
Mavilous Touch provides professional grooming for dogs and cats. Because every companion has different needs, Mavi approaches each appointment individually, taking into account temperament, coat, comfort, age, and previous grooming experiences.
Do I need an appointment for grooming?
Yes. Grooming is by appointment so Mavi can give each companion the time and attention they need. To schedule, call 512-922-6642 and tell Mavi a little about your companion.
Do you work with anxious or fearful companions?
Yes. This is an important part of Mavi's approach. For companions who are nervous, sensitive, or have had difficult grooming experiences, Mavi begins by listening and observing. Some need more time. Some need more space. Trust is never demanded. It is earned.
What if my companion needs extra time during grooming?
Then Mavi gives them extra time. There is no one-size-fits-all pace at Mavilous Touch. Mavi pays attention to what each companion is communicating and adjusts her approach accordingly. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Only invited.
Do you groom senior dogs?
Yes. Senior companions may need a slower pace, different positioning, additional breaks, or gentler handling. Mavi considers comfort, mobility, temperament, and the individual needs of the companion throughout the grooming process.
What kinds of events do you host?
We host bingo nights, workshops, seasonal gatherings, community events, and other casual social activities throughout the year inside our restored barn setting.
What should I tell Mavi before my companion's first appointment?
Tell her what you know. Their personality, sensitivities, previous grooming experiences, health or mobility considerations, what comforts them, and what makes them uneasy can all help Mavi understand the companion who will be placed in her hands.
How does Mavi decide on a grooming style?
Mavi looks beyond a standard cut. She considers coat, proportions, movement, condition, personality, and the guardian's preferences. With decades of experience in precision cutting and styling, her goal is not to make every companion look the same—it is to reveal the beauty and character already there.
