Havanese Grooming in Fuquay-Varina, NC
Walk-in & same-day dog grooming appointments available in Fuquay-Varina, NC
The Havanese has a long, silky double coat that’s softer and finer than it looks — and that fine texture tangles and mats easily, especially on the legs, behind the ears, and around the harness area. Whether you keep your Havanese in a long show-style coat or a practical short puppy cut, regular grooming is what keeps that beautiful coat comfortable and tangle-free.
At KurlyTails in Fuquay-Varina, your Havanese is groomed one-on-one by someone who takes the time small, delicate breeds deserve — no rushing, no cage dryers, no stress.
Havanese grooming options
- Puppy cut — short, even, and easy to maintain; the most popular choice
- Teddy bear trim — soft rounded face with a little more length on the body
- Long coat maintenance — bath, condition, careful de-tangle, and tidy for owners keeping the coat long
- Face, sanitary, and paw-pad trims, plus nails and ears
Most Havanese do well every 4–6 weeks, with gentle line-brushing a few times a week at home. If your dog’s coat has already tangled, our de-matting service can help. We groom every breed — see all-breed dog grooming.

What to Expect at Your Havanese’s Appointment
If you’ve been searching for Havanese groomers near me and want to know exactly what happens at a KurlyTails appointment, here’s a straightforward rundown. We open daily at 8 AM and take the last appointments before 6 PM, so there’s flexibility for most schedules.
Every Havanese groom starts with a pre-bath brush-out to work through any loose tangles before they tighten up in water. We then bathe with products suited to fine, silky coats, follow with a conditioning treatment, and use a low-velocity hand dryer — never a high-heat cage dryer — to dry your dog slowly and safely. Scissor work comes last, once the coat is clean, dry, and fully brushed out. That order matters: cutting a dirty or damp coat leads to uneven results and missed tangles.
Because we groom one dog at a time, there’s no waiting room full of other dogs, and your Havanese isn’t handed off between multiple people. The same groomer handles the whole appointment.
Is Your Havanese a Puppy? Start Early.
Getting your Havanese comfortable with grooming before their adult coat comes in makes every future appointment easier. We offer a gentle puppy’s first grooming experience designed to introduce young dogs to the bath, dryer, and scissors at a pace that builds confidence rather than anxiety. The Havanese puppy coat is softer and less dense than the adult coat, so it’s the ideal time to establish good habits — for your dog and for you as an at-home brusher.
Havanese Coat Care Between Grooms
A professional groom every 4–6 weeks does a lot, but what happens at home between appointments determines whether that coat stays manageable or mats up before the next visit. A few practical tips:
- Brush in sections (line brushing): Part the coat down to the skin and work through one layer at a time rather than just brushing the surface.
- Focus on friction points: The collar area, behind the ears, armpits, and where a harness sits are the first places mats form. Check those spots every few days.
- Use a detangling spray: A light mist before brushing reduces breakage on that fine hair.
- Don’t brush a completely dry coat: A tiny bit of moisture helps the comb glide without snapping strands.
If you let mats go too long, they can pull the skin and become genuinely uncomfortable. Our matted dog grooming and de-matting service is available, but prevention through regular brushing and timely grooms is always the better path.
