Marie's Pet Grooming in Fresh Meadows asks customers to plan around a roughly three-to-four-hour visit, not a while-you-wait haircut. Its pickup and handling policies matter when comparing the apparent convenience of a nearby salon.

What matters when choosing this business
Plan pickup separately from your workday
The FAQ says grooming commonly takes three to four hours, with timing dependent on the day's schedule. It describes short periods in crates and a call around 20 minutes before pickup. This is not a cage-free or all-day daycare arrangement: the operator says a boarding fee can apply when pickup is delayed. Arrange someone who can respond to the call. Source
Ask about handling charges before comparing quotes
The price page does not offer one universal grooming rate. Size, coat, style and temperament affect the estimate, with additional coat-work charges possible. It lists a handling fee starting at $25 for applicable behavior-related work. That is an extra, not the price of a groom; describe handling difficulties when requesting the full estimate. Source
