Klarna is opening the first-ever ‘Pup-Up’ Grooming Salon – for both dogs and owners.

Klarna, the leading global disruptor of online shopping and payments, is celebrating dog- owning and “dog-loving-communities” with its “pup-up” salon in NYC’s Meatpacking district. 

To kick off the ‘Who’s A Good Shopper’ campaign launching November 8th, a luxurious grooming experience will open to the public on October 31st.

The ‘Pup-Up’ will allow dog owners and their dogs to come in to get a matching makeover together. The space has custom made human and dog makeover stations for the matching duos as well as a myriad of little dog-friendly touches.

A little pink carpet for the dogs, dog level VIP ropes and some decor, just for the dogs, hung at dog height. The space will be open until November 2nd.

Celebrity dog groomer, Jess Rona, who is known for her signature musical slow-mo blowout videos and primping Katy Perry’s poodles, will be on-site to offer her stylish services to dogs and owners alike. Dubbed ‘the Oprah of dog groomers,’ Rona is all about transformation and animated haircuts for her clientele.

Rona says, “I love bringing a world of whimsy and finding adorable ways to showcase dog’s personalities through their groomed styles. Seeing the connection between dogs and their owners is so special, and twinning looks is such a fun way to express that bond.”

Attendees can get groomed ready for the gram and tag #Doggelganger to share their looks across social channels.

The salon will accept walk-in appointments each day. These twinning duos can connect with special guests also getting their glam on, including Paul the Corgi (@paulthecorgi), Agador (@poochofnyc), and Menswear Dog (@mensweardog).

David Sandstrom CMO of Klarna, says, “At Klarna we create experiences where you shop for what you love, for the ones you love. And that’s what the “Who’s a Good Shopper” campaign is all about too- a celebration of the relationship between dog owners and their beloved dogs.” 

Sandstrom continues, “All our community events throughout the campaign will show how Klarna offers the best shopping experience for people and their furry best friends – starting off with bringing them all together to experience just that in our stylish “Pup up” salon in the heart of NYC.”

The ‘Pup-Up’ supports the launch of the ability to shop everywhere via the Klarna App — so you never have to leave your furry friend’s side.
