Has AT&T already run out of free wireless charging plates? No, they have not.
Just after midnight last night AT&T finally starting taking pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 for this Friday's release. Included with the Lumia 920 is of course one free wireless charging plate—a $49 value.
We had reports coming in all day though that customers were not getting the free pad offer upon checkout. In fact, there was often no mention of it during the whole pre-order process. Some in our viewership called AT&T and were told by customer-service reps (CSR) that in fact AT&T has "run out" of said plates, effectively making the offer over just mere hours after it had begun.
We decided against putting the story out for a few reasons. One, the offer is actually good through the beginning of January and two, we're talking about AT&T pre-orders here—a notoriously unreliable and far-from clear system. And while we'd love to believe that demand was so high for the Lumia 920 that AT&T simply ran out of their freebie allotment, we're not quite that naive to believe such a thing would have happened.
Indeed, when we tried to do our pre-order just a short time ago we were presented with a new pop-up telling us of the free wireless charging pad offer. The popup window tells you to select the Nokia Black Wireless Charging Plate "on the next page". It also mentions you need to sign a new 2-year agreement, meaning if you are buying at the no-commitment price (like we were), you may not qualify.
Reader Tal F. has a slightly similar story but he spoke to another AT&T CSR and was told quite specifically: "...the free charging plate discount wouldn't be live on the AT&T site until 11/9/12. So even though it shows that your Lumia 920 comes with a free charging plate, you need to hold off on your purchase until 11/9/12 if you want it to be applied at checkout."
So what is going on? Our bet is AT&T is still working out the kinks to the offer, which as far as we can tell was a last minute deal between Nokia and AT&T (remember we first old you about that deal only a few days before it was announced). Our advice is simple: order away. If you don't get a free wireless charging plate, just hold onto your receipt and call AT&T as soon as you can. They will most likely have you pick one up in the store or they will send you one direct. Push come to shove, you just tell them to take the phone back and we're sure that will get things taken care of but in all honesty, we're not too concerned over this.
If you really want peace of mind, just get up early on Friday and waltz into your local AT&T Store and try to do a direct Lumia 920 purchase and bring a copy of the press release with you as evidence.

On a separate note, we were a little discouraged from the whole process for another reason: upgrade availability. Sure, we used our upgrade status back in March for the Lumia 900 so fair is fair, here is our $450 AT&T. But during the process, AT&T was will to extend to us a "special upgrade deal" for you guessed it, the Apple iPhone. AT&T might not have been able to fool us with their snake oil but we wonder how many out there would be determined to stick by their Nokia guns?

tavi have you listened to the new album by the dum dum girls yet? i feel like it fit in perfectly with the moods you're discussing in this post - especially the albums's intangible sense of melancholia but its more tangible sense of longing. plus the album artwork is roses and ghosts and lace and it's really quite beautiful.
ps: miss you lots. xo - November 19, 2011 11:51 AM
wow! great post, I really love the way you use your own handwriting, it gives your post an original feel, like nothing else, and the writing is kinda a vibe itself!

You have perfectly worded something I've felt for a while, about people being silly towards others who are just doing their thing and, not only being called hipster for it, but being hated on because they think it shows how "smart" and what "free thinkers" they are. Makes me feel better about trying out being more creative with my own things and it's a genuinely excellent argument for when people give you hell for it.A super awesome post indeed. :) (Hard to really comment about this without being so redundant. Bluh!)

Wow... Reading your writing in handwriting made your voice sound really different (in my head, at least). Usually, everything you say seems to have about a billion layers of sarcasm underneath it, but in handwriting, it was more like each layer was coated with frosting. Sort of like a sarcasm layer cake, instead of.... I don't know.... ..... I'm not a cake expert, so I think I'll just leave it at that.

I feel like the very beginning of Almost Famous really fits in with these vibes. It's Christmas of 1969 in San Diego and there are palm trees everywhere. Everything is flat and pale and boxy. You see girls tanning in front of an ugly house with wreaths on it and like, little kids in pastel outfits talking to Santa.

Also that point what you put at the end makes so much sense. Everyone is so cynical and critical towards people now who are just enjoying doing their own thing, whether it's dressing how they want and just all round experimenting.

I love your handwritten post! It's very Maira Kalman, but distinctly you. Your take on "California Christmas" is so interesting. I've lived in the Los Angeles suburbs most of my life, and your version of LA is more LA than I've ever experienced. I live in a street full of brown ranch homes, with lotsa mexican culture abound (which i love). We have strip malls, a drive-in bob's big boy, and the oldest standing McDonald's. But weirdly, i don't "feel" that mintgreen LA. It's funny, here, I think we are always wishing for the winter wonderland story. Whether you live in los angeles, or in the suburbs of Chicago, the LA dream always just feels like the LA dream. weird.

Dear Tavi, I love this post! I think that hand-writing it was very appropriate and plus, if it felt right to you, then all the better! I live in California, and just this morning as I was driving to my sister's soccer match I was observing the way that the morning autumn sunlight was casting dramatic shadows on the simple and soft-coloured houses. Based on my recent fascination with suburbia and then the inspiration you've given me with this post, I definitely will be taking my camera with me everywhere I go so that I can document these lovely sights. Regretfully, I didn't have my camera with me this morning and I missed the opportunity to photograph this old woman wearing layers of pink and pastel green sweaters/coats while walking her little Chihuahua through the neighbourhood. It would have been such a great photo.

except a socal winter is usually sunny and clear. it gets cold, but not too cold, and it hardly ever rains. i am from socal but now live in virginia, and i do miss socal at the holidays. there's just something about sunny days and then dark nights and palm trees and christmas lights and other city lights and lots of movement and people and shopping. also, since it's usually clear, you get more sun than somewhere where it's raining/snowing. the sunsets are great and the day lasts longer. for me, the movie that best feels socal xmas to me is "la confidential."

I think you should watch "Anita and Me". It's a British film so I don't think many would know about it at the other side of the pond, but it has enough 70s vibes, a good story and an awkward friendship you'd like.

- Elena Lovecat said...
Okay, I'm going to slow down 'cos there's so much to comment that my head is, like, overhelmed.
First of all; dammnit Tavi, your metal images are SO difficult to figure out! It may be because of my "lack" of American culture, but I hardly can tell what you are talking about when you say "California Christmas". It's all very beautiful anyway, and the way you're dressing at the moment reminds me of my "pin-up/rockabilly" days.
I totally understand what you say about being fascinated by people! And I don't really know its matter...
That last paragraph, Tavi. THAT. PARAGRAPH. It has make you win a present for sure (wait for it, 'cos I promise someday I'll send you something). About being a hipster, it's such a crap caring for it. Truth is, it's even easier to "admit" you're a hipster (this automatically cancels being a true hipster) and keep on with your life. Or joke about it.
And, oh god, how right you are about not being ashamed of creating. I'm totally that type of person, who is afraid of being bad at what I like, and I'm working really hard on changing it.
And, well, may I have to apologise for writing this much? I just liked your post so much I thought it wouldn't be fair to write a crappy comment. - November 19, 2011 8:46 PM
- Regina said...
Gaahh Tavi. Coming here and reading your thoughts on subjects like these brightens my mood. I could copy/paste nearly everything you write here on my random .doc file and it wouldn't get old. (I would apologize for this sounding creepy but it wouldn't make sense after your last paragraph. Let me like what i like, world, goddamnit)
Maybe it's because I'm not American but i have this soft spot for US history/culture and so I specially love your (very passionate) input on America through all these different decades. It's refreshing. - November 19, 2011 8:56 PM
- our lady said...
yay, new stuff! I always like seeing people's handwriting. I can't imagine being in California for christmas... it would feel so wrong!
I like your end note on hipsters.- it's strange that it seems now anything you do or like that is a little different makes you a HIPSTER but then if you ask people to define a hipster they can't, really. It resonates because a few weeks ago one of my roommates said that he saw I used to have short hair, which he said was "pretty hipster" (??). - November 19, 2011 10:13 PM
- zoomslow said...
I've always liked reading what you have to say, and seeing the pictures that you show. But! (Is there such a thing as a one-word sentence?) When you 'write' what you have to say, and 'draw' what you have to show, then we're getting a lot more of Tavi. And I for one do not think that's a bad thing! <3
But then having said that I did earlier on try to cut and paste some of your handwriting! So now I'm going to have to, like, force my fingers to do a lot more work than push a mouse around and click my index finger! [;-))] But for that extra hit of Tavi, then it's totally worth it!
"…where people had babies and yelled at each other and made up and kept secrets." = I don't think I could have ever articulated this, but it's exactly how I feel. How do you know these things? <3 - November 19, 2011 10:49 PM

well this whole post was pretty much great. I admire your ability to turn anything into a fashion inspiration which I think a lot of people miss. And your handwriting is kinda cute and slanty and makes me want to make zines. ALSO THE LAST PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE HIPSTERS, thank you for articulating what lots of creatives are probably thinking. Or at least what I feel, but can't say because it's hard to put some ideas you have in the vaguest notions into a convincing argument. Like I feel most hipster critics use the word pretentious in the most contrary way.

Lovely post - I love how you incorporated your handwriting, Ghost World stills, and all of these gorgeous pictures! Meanwhile, your beehive look is incredible. The woman on the right in the pictures captioned "Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, two unknowns" is a Lolita inspired prostitute from the Shirley MacLaine movie "Irma la Douce" (1963) - one of my favorite films and one I would definitely recommend! ^^

I don't know how to do links, but heres the url in case you wanted to check it out (which i think you should because not only is it a great video but the song is really good too...if you like that kind of thing anyway).

Tavi...I just started reading your blog and Rookie mag(I actually made two apps on my phone for them). This post is magnificent...it changed my view on pastels. I've never liked them because they remind me of those "awkward prepubescent training bras" and tampon boxes. But you have just made me like them. You're fantastic!

TAVIIIIIII get out of my head! If you ever want to step into Ghost World, come to San Jose. San Carlos Street & Bascom is the closest it gets imo. Also The Alameda near Race Street and The Flamingo Hotel. If yr ever in the area, check them out! You won't regret it I promise.

I think this is one of my favorite posts I've ever read on this blog. It's as if somehow you got inside my head and wrote it all down, and it's weird because I'm 27 and somehow I feel like we shouldn't be thinking about the same things, but then again, you're not a typical teenager, or maybe I'm not a typical 27 year old. Who knows. This is kind of a letter so I will stop writing now. I love the post.

Totally original! When I saw that you had a Judy Garland pic I think my heart stopped a beat. She is my all time favorite.

Tavi, first off you are so rad. And second, the way that you structured this particular post (I don't know why it's this particular post, since a lot of them are like this), reminds me in the weirdest way of the aesthetic philosophy of Alfred Barnes, this super rad curmudgeon who was one of the first people in America to start collecting post-impressionist art (i.e Picasso, Matisse. Other side note: check out the documentary The Art of the Steal, which is about his foundation). He believed in viewing art for what it is is, by the content of its lines, shapes, forms, etc. Your analysis of all these seemingly disparate things is a really cool end product of noticing similar aesthetic sensibilities all around you. I find that really neat, and I completely agree with your last paragraph. I would rather seem like a huge dork talking really excitedly about something I am passionate about than just be ambivalent and jaded. Keep on keepin' on!

Excellent parsing of the whole 'hipster' dilemma. I know you mentioned in passing about the issue before but I'm glad you decided to finally address it more fully. There surprisingly isn't enough insightful commentary about it out there. (Probably because the whole issue is pretty much confined to a community of insecure teenaged/college-aged kids; but however unsubstantial that makes it, for those of us in constant contact with such a community, its unresolvedness (??) is unsettling.)
Unrelated: maybe it's because you were writing by hand and in pen, but it seems your writing has become a bit more uncertain (is it fair to judge on a single blog entry?). Though I really appreciate acknowledging one's own, well, gaps in knowledge, the amount of self-scrutinizing here felt a little troubling. (But perhaps I'm overly sensitive to that because I find myself constantly doing the same thing. Oh, there I go again..)
Oh, and: adoring the pic of you with the old Caddy (that is a Cadillac, right? No? Oh, well). It captivates me more, I think, than anything in the glossies does. Perhaps it's because I find fantasy more accessible the closer it is to reality. Or something like that. - November 22, 2011 3:51 AM

couldn't stand christmas without snow. just a sentimental habit but a die-hard one.
there's a connection between modern "hipsters" and L.A. snow: they feel fake. contemporary "hipsters" define themselves ultimately about what they consume, not what they do.
but i can understand their shunning and disgust towards people who go and claim to work in the "creative professions" cause nowadays that mostly means PR or advertising aka "telling lies or omitting parts of the truth to sell a product".
also, so much stuff has been done or tried that its hard not to feel like a copy-cat. but fuck that. new things are still created every day. you'll never find out what you're capable of if you don't try. on a universal scale you still might end up as a copy-cat but at least you gave it a whirl.

Hi Tavi,
You seem to worry quite a bit about appearing to be a hipster in your aesthetic pursuits. I've never considered you a hipster because there's something unaffected, un-self-conscious, and wholly sincere about you (yes, you somehow manage to be un-self-conscious in your self-consciousness--don't ask me how you do it!). But there is an aspect of what interests you that some might consider characteristically hipster--and that is that you tend to like things in an ironic way. Please understand that this is not a criticism or my attempt to label you as a hipster. It's just that I've noticed that you'll often use references to "vomit pink" or "creepy" dolls or "pathetic" trinkets.... It's as if to have merit for you, an otherwise pretty/lovely/cheerful/bright aesthetic must be corrupted in some way, with an ugly story or bitter association or something dark. Again, this is just something I've noticed about your preferences, and I have to admit that it makes me a tiny bit sad in a way I don't fully understand. Please please realize that I have tons of respect for you and your work--I'm just fascinated with what drives other people's sense of the beautiful. I'm starting a blog soon in which I'll explore these issues...I hope to count you as a reader.
All the best,
Jennifer - November 23, 2011 7:23 PM

jeez, what a long post!
But you kept me interested the entire time.
Ghost World was a really good flick.
I suppose its refreshing to see the pale colors instead of brights that hurt your eyes or grays and dirty browns that depress.
The pales are comforting, indeed.
What you said about finding private homes more interesting than historic buildings...
Well, I can see where you're coming from...the mystery of unknown families inside their tiny homes doing god knows what...KILLING EACH OTHER.
For the past 2 years my parents and I have been looking for a house. We have gone to so many open houses, etc. Most people live poorly. I don't mean they are poor...but their homes are just disappointing due to their own negligence and the actual architecture. DON'T forget the SMELLS.
Thats actually a good idea, if you have time you should go with your parents and pretend to be interested in new real estate. Its almost like you're picking a person's brain simply by surveying their belongings and the probable mess of it all.

Hi Tavi!

We are working about the repercussion of fashion blogs, so we think you are a good example. If you can answer these questions we will so grateful! Thank you!
- How did you advertise your blog? And now?
- When did you realize of the increase in visits? And why do you think that happened?
- How the fashion designers did contact with you?
- Are you thinking add advertise of clothes, designers… in your blog?
- What do you want to do in the future?
Thank you again; we hope your answer because it will be very helpful.

I totally get what you're saying about hipsters too.. its wierd how in doing something you like doing, people would judge you for doing it but after it would be really cool and creative. Like, no one thinks for themselves, and everything has to be put on tumbler, taking the interestingness and uniquness out of every moment and publishing it for street-cred.

Actually your whole california christmas thing makes total sense. I live really close to oakland, and california gets really weird at christmas time because everyone has up their decorations and it is 70˚F outside and it's just woefully out of place. especially the horribly wonderful blow up santas. But the lights are just beautiful. The little tiny houses with just the strip of white lights are just magic.

I'm writing this from a candy-colored building in Oakland, CA... I'm originally from the Plains states, where winter is cold and snowy and windy and dark. Here, we have fog and Christmas decorations and temperatures warm enough to wear sweaters alone outside in the winter, which does allow for a dreamy sort of awesomeness. There is also the thing that a certain subculture of SoCal and NorCal retro-mods collect and display a lot of 50s and early 1960s Christmas things... lots of which involve pink and mint and kelly green and a lot of aluminum and glitter and flocking. I understand this post totally... and I think you could probably also reference the Christmas scenes from Edward Scissorhands, with the pastel houses of Burbank, CA a perfect backdrop to the darkness of banal suburbia.

first time reader here. I have always wanted to watch Ghost World and i think when it first came out i was 20. Everyone told me not to watch it cos it was weird and boring so I didn't but after reading this post i really think i should give it a go. A long time has since past when I used to care what people thought about me and how my life just revolved around it. Now I embrace my "quirkiness" and I met someone who told me the reason why he fell for me was because I am a little odd :) awesome blog btw. you have another new follower :)

Ahh Ghost World. I remember when I saw the movie first. I can hardly recall the story, one of those films I need to see again, but I remember a sad, empty feeling... But in a good way?
Anyway, Steve Buscemi will always be Seymour to me.
I love the last part of the post. The one about the fear of being seen as a hipster, really just the fear of being exposed I guess.
We're all supposed to know that we're no less interesting than anyone else and we should just do/write/scream whatever feels right to us, but I guess we just need a reminder sometimes. That's what you did, and I love that.
Anyway, looking forward to whatever you bring us next. - December 07, 2011 7:16 PM

Hello-I am not sure if someone already mentioned this but I believe the style you are referring to is googie. It originated in southern california during the 40s and up through the 60s. The whole kind of space age/50s vibe. I have really been feeling that lately as well.

Locating Place: Perceptions of Space in 20th Century Photography
Locating Place: Perceptions of Space in 20th Century Photography
It is somewhat of truism to say that the environment bears the imprint of human thought and action. The expansive vistas of cultivated land, the towering high-rises of large metropolitan centers and the adjacent sprawl of suburbia all demonstrate our impact on the places we inhabit. But our relationship to place is not one-sided. Places help shape our identity and how we exist in, engage with and think about the world. They offer insight on our culture and society--the various hopes, dreams, preoccupations that underlie our endeavors.
The exhibition Locating Place: Perceptions of Space in 20th Century Photography will explore the intimate connection that exists between people and places. Spanning the entire twentieth century, the diverse selection of photographs featured in the exhibition will touch upon topics ranging from the representation of interior states of mind to the impact of human presence on the natural environment.
Josef Sudek's mist-shrouded gardens and fragmented glimpses of empty city streets can be interpreted as private reveries--manifestations of emotions and reactions to his beloved Prague--rather than mere records of a geographic location. Kenneth Josephson layers pictures within pictures to create clever but patently artificial illusions that acknowledge the subjective nature of vision. Toshio Shibata's portraits of man-made structures on the other hand explore the conflict between natural forces and mankind's attempts to contain them by eliminating spatial cues and replacing them with more abstract compositions dominated by patterns and textures.
The fifty-five plus photographs in the exhibition are pulled from the Figge's collection of photographs as well as loans from the University of Iowa Museum of Art and a private collection. Many of the works from the Figge collection are recent gifts and have never been viewed by the public. Included is a large number of photographs from the Sikkema Collection that was established in 2007 by a donation of 84 photographs by Brent Sikkema of Sikkema, Jenkins and Co. Since then, two more gifts of 70 works have supplemented the collection. These generous donationshave greatly enhanced the museum's photography holdings and allowed the Figge to feature more photography in its exhibitions.
This exhibition will be on view March 10-June 10, 2012

What is a dog groomer?
A dog groomer is a service professional who provides dog grooming and basic hygiene care for your dog. Dog groomers are typically animal lovers who are competent and comfortable working with a wide range of dog breeds and temperaments. Dog groomers are knowledgeable about the care needs for different kinds of dog coats. A poodle will have different haircut needs than a shih tzu, for example, so it pays to have a trained pro provide the proper cut. Good dog groomers know how to safely clean your dog's teeth, bathe your dog, and cut their nails without going too short. They understand how to trim the hair from around your dog's face, express anal glands, and clean your dog's ears. Many people who choose dog grooming as a profession also pursue other dog services such as attending veterinary school, running a doggy day care center, working as a professional dog walker, and more.
What is included in a dog grooming?
Dog grooming is so much more than giving your dog a bath. Dog grooming is a broad term that covers all aspects of canine cleanliness and hygiene. The services included in dog grooming will vary based on your needs and what you choose to pay. Unless they are rolling in cowpies or playing in mud puddles, most dogs are okay getting a shampoo bath only as needed. You'll know when they need it if they smell bad or are bringing dirt into the house. Some dogs, like shepherds and shih tzus, have thick coats that can get matted and tangled without regular care. Pro dog groomers can deftly blow dry a dog's hair after a bath so that it is shiny and smooth. Dog grooming can include brushing that detangles dog hair and also thins the undercoat to minimize shedding.
Dog grooming also includes hygiene services such as toothbrushing and ear cleaning. Clean teeth are important to the health of your dog, and the pros have the patience and proper technique to get it done. Regular dog grooming can stave off tear stains, those reddish stains below your dog's eyes. Anal gland expression is something not many people want to do on their own, even if they love their dog. A dog groomer can safely and efficiently release any blocked anal gland fluid. Other dog grooming services include nail trimming and clipping. Nationally, dog grooming prices range from $60 to $80. Most dog groomers offer discounts to customers who purchase monthly packages or bundle multiple grooming services at one time.
How much does it cost to get a dog's nails trimmed?
Dog grooming prices for nail trims can vary based on the the size and temperament of your dog, where the nail trimming takes place, and whether you bundle the trim with other grooming services. The average cost to get your dog's nails trimmed usually ranges from approximately $10 to $25. Nationally, the average for dog grooming prices is $60-$80, which usually encompasses not only nail trimming but also bathing, haircuts and other services.
The cost to trim a dog's nails can vary based on whether the dog is at a doggy day care and has the service as an add-on, whether you bring your dog to a groomer's business, or whether you have a mobile groomer provide nail trimming at your home. Nail trimming costs less than nail grinding, which usually is done with a Dremel or similar tool. Nail trimming should be a regular part of of your dog's care, as overgrown nails can be painful and cause problems.
How much does it cost to trim a dog's nails?
Trimming your dog's nails is an important part of keeping your dog healthy and well-groomed. Well-clipped nails are also a factor in your dog grooming costs. When a dog's nails get too long, they have the potential to break or split, which can cause them pain and mean a costly visit to your local veterinarian. Overly long dog nails can also cause discomfort for your pup, especially if you have hardwood or tile floors. Be sure to calculate regular nail trimming into your budget for dog grooming. The dog groomer may use trimmers to clip the nails, or they may use a small drill (like a Dremel) to grind down the nails. A good professional groomer will know not to clip too close to the base of the nail, where nicking a nerve or a blood vessel could injure your dog. Nail trimming costs can vary based on geographic location and whether you bring the dog to the groomer or if the groomer picks up and drops off your dog. Transportation fees for pickup and drop-off service can add a lot to the cost. A simple dog nail trim may cost between $10 and $30, depending on location. Nail grinding may cost $2-$8 more than standard clipping. Many dog groomers offer discounts for bundled services, so you could get a nail trim at a reduced rate when you purchase it with a bath.
What is included in dog grooming?
Dog grooming is a broad term that encompasses a range of beauty and hygiene services provided to your pet by a dog grooming professional. Services can include bathing, nail trimming, tooth brushing, haircuts, ear cleaning and gland expression. The American Humane Society recommends bathing (shampooing) your dog every two to four months, but breed and hair type can affect frequency. A dog groomer may charge extra for bathing a dog that's unusually dirty or smelly from rolling in a bog or being sprayed by a skunk, for example. Nail trimming should be done every two to four weeks, depending on how quickly your dog's nails grow. If you hear their nails clicking when they're walking on hard surfaces, a trim is overdue. Experts say you should brush your dog's teeth at least a few times a week. If you find this difficult because of your dog's size or temperament, it's helpful to have a regular groomer you entrust to regularly give them a thorough cleaning. The type of dog you have will determine how often it will need a haircut. A dog with short, wiry hair will rarely need a haircut, while a long-haired breed such as a shih-tzu will need regular combing to prevent painful matting and a cut every six weeks to three months, depending on length. Often, you can save on dog grooming prices by bundling multiple services into one visit with the same provider. Another opportunity for savings is to find a doggy day care service that also provides dog grooming.
How much does it cost for a mobile dog groomer?
Mobile dog groomers come to your home and bathe, trim, and groom your dog. Mobile grooming is often easier on your dog, as they don't have to go to a strange place to get groomed, and it saves you the effort of transportation. Prices for mobile pet grooming services can vary. Nationally, the average for dog grooming prices is $60-$80, including both standard and mobile services. Mobile dog grooming prices may be higher if the company has a dedicated truck or van than if they do the grooming on your premises. Mobile dog grooming prices will also vary based on the services you need, the area you live in, and your dog's temperament and breed. Here are some examples of average pet grooming prices:
- Nail trim: $15-$25.
- Ear cleaning: $20.
- Anal gland expression: $25.
- Bath: $25-$50, depending on dog size.
- Haircut: $45.
- All five of these services bundled: $110-$160, depending on dog size.
How much does it cost to groom a dog?
Dog grooming costs depend on the service your pet requires. Nationally, the average price for dog grooming ranges from $40 to $100, varying by location. Not surprisingly, dog grooming on New York's Upper East Side costs nearly double what it costs in a small town in Montana. Dog groomers typically handle every aspect of your dog's beauty and hygiene, from tooth brushing to hairstyling. One potential way to save is to have your dog groomed at your doggy daycare — sometimes they offer discounts on dog grooming prices for clients. Here are some examples of average dog grooming costs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please note these prices would include transportation fees for picking up and dropping off your dog to your home:
- Nails: $30 a la carte or $20 when bundled with another service
- Toothbrushing: $30 a la carte or $20 when bundled with another service
- Tooth scraping (removal of plaque from teeth to prevent infection), with anesthesia: $600
- Tooth scraping, without anesthesia: $400.
- Wash and dry: $60
- Ears: $30 a la carte or $20 when bundled with another service
- Grooming package: $130 — includes wash, nails, teeth, ears, gland expression and haircut
What vaccines do dogs need to be groomed?
It's important to make sure your dog is up to date on its vaccines before taking it to a groomer. Vaccinations keep your dog and the other dogs that use the establishment healthy. Viruses can linger long after a dog is gone, so an unvaccinated dog can infect a number of other dogs days or even months after their visit. Find out about your dog groomer's vaccination policies, and think carefully about receiving services from a company that does not require vaccinations. Here are the main vaccinations that are generally required for dog grooming:
- Parvovirus: Parvo is a nasty virus that can kill dogs within 48-72 hours of infection. The virus is incredibly persistent and, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, is resistant to heat, cold, humidity and drying. It's spread by dog-to-dog contact or contact with contaminated feces, environments (food and water bowls, collars and leashes, etc.,) or people.
- Adenovirus 2: Dogs receive this vaccination to protect against canine infectious hepatitis. The vaccination can also helps prevent canine cough.
- Canine distemper virus: Distemper has no known cure and can cause serious pain, illness, and even death, although recovery is possible with medical intervention.
- Rabies: This disease attacks the central nervous system and — when untreated — will lead to death. The CDC recommends euthanizing an unvaccinated animal that has been exposed to rabies, although six-month isolation followed by vaccination is also permissible.
- Para-influenza: Canine para-influenza leads to kennel cough and an unhappy dog
How much do you tip the dog groomer?
Do you have a dog that you get groomed regularly? If you do, you've probably wondered how much — or even if — you're supposed to tip your dog groomer. Treat your dog groomer as you would your own hair stylist. A 15 percent to 20 percent tip is an appropriate amount to show your appreciation for a dog grooming job well done. If your dog didn't get clean or their nails didn't get properly clipped, then you certainly don't have to tip. But if you're satisfied with the service, consider the tip part of the standard dog grooming price, and just plan it into your dog care budget so you'll have a happy groomer and a well-groomed dog. Here are a few examples of when you should tip extra:
- Your dog bit the groomer! Not good. A big tip will help.
- Your pooch barked like a wild beast or wrestled the groomer the entire time.
- Your dog's hair was extra gross and dirty — think dog poo or major mud matted in their hindquarters.
- Your senior or disabled dog can't stand on their own and needs extra care and support.

Timbren SES Suspension Enhancement System SKU# GMFK15CA - Front Kit
FREE Ground Shipping on Orders Over $99
Lifetime Warranty and 100-Day Money Back Guarantee
Available to ship within 1 week
Weight from a snowplow or heavy aftermarket accessories can cause dangerous front-end sag and sway. When heavy weight is distributed only onto the front two tires, it can create difficult handling conditions and risk damage to your front-end suspension from bottoming out.
Our Timbren SES front kits level out your front-end load, making for a safe, controlled ride.
How? Our Aeon® rubbers springs deliver a progressive spring rate. As load increases, our rubber springs push back harder, eliminating squat, sway, and roll to put you back in control of your vehicle. After installation, the rubber spring should be in contact with the front axle.
What makes Timbren SES kits different from other suspension enhancement systems? Unlike air bags, our kits require zero post-installation maintenance. And unlike other systems, you can install and haul in under 30 minutes, right from your driveway.
Key Features
- Reduces front-end sag and sway
- Comfortable ride, loaded or unloaded
- DIY installation
- Zero post-installation maintenance
Note: Even though you're increasing the spring rate by adding this upgrade, this does not increase the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). Please make sure that the load does not exceed the GVWR set by the manufacturer.

Our Timbren SES kits are built to last. We back this up with a lifetime warranty.
Covered under this warranty are defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and service for the life of the vehicle on which the kit was originally installed.
FREE Ground Shipping on Orders Over $99
Free ground shipping is available in the contiguous United States on all orders over $99. Normal processing time is between 1 – 2 business days from placing the order.
We make every effort to ship the order within this processing time; however, no guarantees are expressed or implied.
100-Day Money Back Guarantee
If you're not happy with your Timbren product, we want to remedy that. If our customer service team can't find a solution for you, you can return your Timbren product for a refund, a replacement product, or another product of similar value within 100 days of purchasing the product. We'll cover return shipping costs, too.

Your questions, answered
You want all the info before choosing the right towing and hauling solution for you. And we want to help.
Nope. Unlike air bags, there's no need to run air lines, check pressure, or watch for leaks. Our SES kits are a true set it and forget it solution.
Our Timbren SES kits are a helper spring for hauling and towing. Are they durable enough to go off-road? Absolutely. But if you are looking for a product built exclusively for absorbing harsh slams on the trail, our Active Off-Road Bumpstops are for you.
Our SES kits are designed to work on vehicles with factory ride height. But that's where our Timbren SES Spacer Kits step in to fill the gap. With our spacer kits, your lifted vehicle can still benefit from the smooth, level ride that our SES kits offer.
No. Unlike Add-a-Leaf solutions, your unloaded vehicle's ride height will remain unaffected by the installation of an SES kit.
Top-heavy loads that require maximum stability, like truck campers or salt spreaders, require the severe service kit upgrade. All other hauling and towing situations are covered by our classic Timbren SES kits.

"Can't believe I wasn't going to get personalised hangers. They are easily one of my favourite little keepsakes I've bought for my wedding. Seems like not a very important detail, but they're so nice and it makes such a difference to the pictures."
Holly Batchelor
"Gorgeous hangers. Loved them on our wedding day. Girls loved them in their gift bags too. Great for all dress types/ garments"
Jane Moyes
"I've purchased two gift boxes. The first was a graduation box for my daughter. She was absolutely thrilled with it when she saw it! It is personalised with her name, the graduation and date on the top. So beautiful to keep her memorabilia in. The second arrived just today and is a red Christmas Eve box for a lady who loves ginger! It was beautiful little gingerbread men along with the wording on the lid. Just stunning and will go down a treat! Thank you, wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other buyers xxx"
