What is the difference between sites approved to use the Nash System?

Nash Approved Salon (NAS)
A Nash Approved Salon is a pet grooming salon that has achieved specific facility standards required by Nash. A Nash Approved Salon status is required for the salons who want to be Nash Approved Internships and/or Training Sites. It is an opportunity for all salons to raise their standard and make a difference in the pet care industry. Take the Nash Challenge and make your salon a safer place for you, your salon team and the pets!
