Its service area is Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties, and its clients include hairstylists, veterinarians, and groomers.
Its services are usually done in clients’ premises. At hair salons vacant stations are apt to use for work, also examination rooms and surgery rooms are common spaces at veterinary clinics.
