Melissa’s Story

Merging creativity and detail

"One of the best things about my job is showing dogs that their grooming experience can be stress-free. The dogs on my table push and inspire me every day to continue to learn and grow as a groomer."

One of the best things about my job is showing dogs that their grooming experience can be stress-free, even fun! The dogs on my table push me and inspire me every day to continue to learn and grow as a groomer. I love taking the time to develop a good relationship with my clients so they are just as happy to see me as I am to see them. It's always disheartening to have a client leave the salon unhappy with their dog's groom. So I always take very detailed notes of my grooms.
