April / Co-Founder
April is a part owner of the company and a seasoned pet stylist, with a grooming career that began in 2013. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Medical Technology from Wilson College in 2014, combining her love of animals with a strong foundation in veterinary care. April started her grooming career in a corporate salon, where she spent nine years honing her skills, before moving to a private salon. She is skilled in working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and is pet safety and CPR certified, ensuring every pet is handled with care and safety in mind. Her experience in both corporate and private settings has given her a unique perspective on pet care, allowing her to approach each grooming session with expertise, patience, and a focus on the individual needs of every dog. “I love grooming all dogs, but I have a special fondness for Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepherds, Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Schnauzers, West Highland Terriers, and, of course, a good doodle. I also enjoy grooming senior dogs and those who require extra care due to anxious or challenging temperaments. Along with these breeds, I have a special love for Corgis, thanks to my own wiggle-butt at home, Evie. When I’m not at the salon, you’ll find me at home playing games and hanging out with my son, Austin, or snuggled up with my cat, Lucy, and a good book. I’m also working on expanding my skills in cat grooming so I can care for our feline clients in the future.”
Jackie / Co-Founder
Jackie is a part owner of the company and a professional dog stylist with a strong foundation in safe, compassionate care. She began her career in a corporate setting as a certified dog trainer, teaching basic obedience and developing a deep understanding of canine behavior. She later transitioned into grooming, starting as a bather and brusher, where she learned proper techniques tailored to each dog’s skin and coat needs, along with safe nail care. Building on that foundation, Jackie advanced to a full grooming role and has been providing professional haircuts for the past three years. She works confidently with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments and is pet safety and CPR certified. Jackie is dedicated to creating a calm, positive grooming experience while delivering high-quality, individualized care for every dog. “I love working with dogs of all breeds, but I especially enjoy grooming Poodles, Doodles and Poodle mixes, Dachshunds, Spaniels, Cavaliers, and Shepherds, as well as puppies and anxious dogs who need a little extra care. I’m also a proud dog mom to a high-energy Belgian Malinois named Sangria, who definitely keeps me on my toes. When I’m not grooming, you’ll usually find me out on a hike with Sangria or curled up on the couch with a good book.”
Lex / Stylist
Lex has had a love for animals for as long as they can remember, and helping pets look and feel their best is something they truly enjoy. They began their grooming journey in a corporate salon, where they learned the fundamentals of grooming, before moving to a private salon setting. With two years of grooming experience, Lex is always looking for opportunities to continue learning and growing their skills. Above all else, they believe every pet deserves a safe, gentle, and positive grooming experience. Lex has a special soft spot for senior dogs and especially enjoys grooming Pomeranians, Australian Shepherds, and Schnauzers. They love building trust with each pet and tailoring every groom to the individual dog’s needs. When they’re not in the salon, you’ll likely find Lex at home spending time with their wife, playing games, or working on creative projects like sewing and cross-stitching. Their home is also shared with two adorable dumpy tree frogs, Franky and Robin, and their sweet senior dog, Maya, who holds a very special place in their heart.
