Editorial standards

Groomer News is independent, and our editorial decisions are ours alone.

We are not sponsored

We take no sponsorships. We run no advertising, we accept no paid placements, and we publish no sponsored articles or product features. No company, association, or vendor pays us for coverage, and none has any say in what we publish or how we publish it.

That extends to the tools and equipment we write about. When we review a clipper, a dryer, or a piece of salon software, nobody has bought that review and nobody has seen it in advance. If a product is bad for groomers, we say so.

How to support us

Since we are not funded by advertisers, our readers are what keep this publication going. The single most useful thing you can do is subscribe to The Weekly Groom. It is free, and a growing readership of working groomers is what lets us stay independent and keep reporting without taking anyone's money.

Accuracy and corrections

We source our reporting and name the companies, associations, and data behind it. When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and note the correction. Flag errors at [email protected].
