Frequently Asked Questions

Embroidered pet grooming smocks are the polished version of the branded long-sleeve uniform. The stitched logo reads more permanent than a printed graphic, holds up against the daily wash cycle better than print, and gives the salon the polished look that competes with a chain-salon uniform program. Below is how the embroidered smock program works through Pro Shops, what placements work best for salon logos, and the price math against the printed-graphic alternative.

Embroidery vs print on a grooming smock

Aspect	Embroidery	Print
Wear life	Outlasts the fabric	Holds for 100+ washes with care
Look	Polished, premium	Casual, athletic
Logo size flexibility	Best at 2-4 inch chest placement	Any size up to full back
Full-color logos	Limited thread color count	Full color photographic prints fine

Salon logo styles that embroider cleanly

Wordmark in block letters: cleanest embroidery, reads well from a distance
Single icon plus wordmark: paw print, dog silhouette, scissors mark plus the salon name. Standard pet salon logo style.
Crest with limited color count: 3 to 4 thread colors works well, more than 5 starts to look busy in embroidery
Avoid: photographic gradients, fine watercolor washes, ultra-thin lines under 1px (these look better as print)

Pricing the embroidered smock run

Item	VIP base (with embroidered logo and name)	Standard VIP base
Long sleeve cotton smock	$29.88	$29.88
Long sleeve performance smock	$29.88	$29.88

No upcharge for embroidery versus print on the same garment. The digitizing of the salon logo into a stitch file happens once and prints across every embroidered piece in the shop with no per-piece extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a setup fee for the embroidered salon logo?

No. Upload the logo file once, digitize for embroidery once, print as many embroidered pieces as you want with no per-design setup fee.

Can the embroidered smock include the staff member name?

Yes. Staff first name on the right chest is standard. Each smock prints per order so different staff names go on different smocks in the same shop order.

How long does the embroidered smock take to ship?

About a week US delivery from order placement, same as printed pieces.

Will the embroidered logo hold up to daily washing with bleach and dryer heat?

Yes. Embroidered logos typically outlast the cotton fabric itself. The shirt wears out before the embroidered logo shows wear.
