What distinguishes this business
From Head to Tail offers cat coat work with or without bathing, by appointment
From Head to Tail Grooming Spa in Alexandria offers feline cuts, trims, brushing and shavedowns with or without a bath. That makes the requested cleaning method part of the booking decision, not an automatic inclusion in every haircut. Even smaller nail and ear services require an appointment. The provider does not publish a numerical cat-grooming tariff on the reviewed pages.

A question worth settling
Does my cat need the bath-inclusive or dry service, and what total and pickup time should I expect?
Use 571-312-7989 for the Hume Avenue salon and supply current rabies verification. Its policies require a card on file and at least 48 hours' notice to avoid cancellation charges: 24–48 hours costs $50, while same-day cancellation or a no-show costs the groom price. Confirm that a cancellation message was received. More than 15 minutes late can mean a fee or lost appointment, and collection is requested within an hour of completion. The non-regular-customer surcharge described for dogs absent 10–12 weeks explicitly does not apply to cats. Do not add that dog charge to a feline estimate. A dry service is a menu option, not a claim that all coat conditions can be handled without bathing.
