About

Priscilla's Grooming operates a cage-free dog grooming salon at Unit H, 8181 Mission Gorge Road in San Diego's Grantville district, 92120, under owner Lesley, who spent 12 years as the lead groomer before taking over the business. The VIP grooming standard includes hypoallergenic shampoo, conditioner, tearless face wash, ear cleaning, nail grinding, foot-pad cleaning, de-matting, anal gland expression, sanitary cut, perfume or cologne finish, and a bow or bandana — all bundled into every bath and haircut appointment. Specialty add-ons include a blueberry facial that uses blueberry-derived exfoliant to reduce tear stains and brighten coat highlights, an anti-itch treatment combining oatmeal, aloe, tea tree oil, and pH balancers for flaky or irritated skin, and an all-natural flea-and-tick treatment. Mission Gorge Road through Grantville runs the commercial corridor between SDSU and Mission Trails Regional Park, and the salon sits in Jackson Plaza alongside the fitness and service businesses that include Xplicit Fitness further south on the corridor. Teeth cleaning uses non-anesthetic scaling to remove tartar buildup without the sedation risks and veterinary costs of a full dental procedure. The cage-free format keeps dogs in the grooming area rather than locked in holding crates between stages, and each groomer on Lesley's team is a pet owner — a staffing criterion that ensures hands-on familiarity with breed behavior. A training partnership with Ed Rosenbloom of In Total Command Dog Training provides obedience referrals for clients whose dogs need behavior work alongside their grooming routine. The Mission Gorge Road corridor's auto-service and retail mix generates steady drive-by traffic, and the salon shares the commercial strip with vehicle-service anchors including Valvoline Instant Oil Change in Grantville. Custom breed cuts follow owner specifications, and the brighter-coat treatment — included free with any bath or haircut — uses a highlighting rinse formulated to restore natural color depth in light-coated and parti-color dogs.
