Marianne Tedesco opened her Fair Lawn salon approximately 20 years ago but has been involved in pet grooming for 38 years. On River Road from the start, she moved to her current, larger location 10 years ago to accommodate increased business, especially as she caters to both cats and dogs – many of whom are quite large.  She and her staff are full-service providers, offering not only bathing, dental hygiene and grooming services, but also vitamins and pet supplies. Products are age appropriate, with different formulations to address the needs of older animals.  Boutique items are also available, such as collars, leashes, and hair ornaments to complement doggie’s new “do”.  Boarding of pets is also available.

Marianne and her staff members Tina and Robyn pride themselves on keeping current with animal health and care issues through continuing study and seminars.  As the animals are regular clients, they become familiar and the salon staff can often detect physical changes that may need attention.

Clients range from new puppies to oldsters of up to 15 plus years.  Marianne’s own pets, a 15-year-old Dalmatian named Pepper and a 9-year-old cat called Blackie – are the salon mascots and greeters.  Some pet owners have brought several generations of dogs and cats to the salon.  Approximately 75% of the clientele are Fair Lawn residents, with the balance visiting from surrounding towns.

Marianne appreciates the diversity of the Fair Lawn community and the pride and interest other business owners take in the River Road district.  Although not a township resident, she chose Fair Lawn as the location for her business because of its small town feel and convenient location, noting that River Road is a main thoroughfare, and its good parking is a major asset.  She invites interested pet owners to visit at any time.
