I've never heard of 60% commission for grooming -- in our shop, we have groomers from all over, and we've only heard 45%, or 50% if you bathe and blowdy your own dogs. So I think it's fair. My boss has three groomers paid 45% comission, one paid $10 an hour, we groom between 40 and 60 dogs a day and after all the cost breakdown she still doesn't make as much as you would think.
