I don’t believe anyone can answer that question unless you have a grooming shop.
However, I groom and clip my own dog, and although she listens really well, I can tell you, you could not pay me enough to bathe, groom and clip dogs for a living! LOL.
What some groomers must have to put up….ill behaved dogs, filthy, and badly matted dogs; not to mention putting up with some of the owners! UGH!

It really depends on clientele, location, and how much you charge. I know that my salon makes about 6k a month on average

It does depend on where you operate. My salon turns over around $12,000 a month. To achieve that we have 3 full time staff. Because dog grooming is very cheap I would suggest the following.

Operate out of your garage and don’t hire any staff. This is the best way to ensure you make a living.

If you are going to start a salon charge a high price approximately $100 for a small dog and provide a top quality service. Dog groomers that run a salon and charge $55 a dog burn out in 3 to 5 years because they have to work so hard just to pay the bills.
