About me
My salon is based in a small village in norfolk, situated in the heart of the Wayland area. Close to lots of beautiful places to walk your dog through the countryside.
I offer a calm, friendly service that welcomes all breeds/cross breeds. In a clean & inviting salon. I work alone 1 to 1.
I have been grooming 9 years, during this time I have completed my level 2 & level 3 (proffessional diploma) City & Guilds qualifications & I hold my full ICMG qualification (Internationally Certified Master Groomer). I am currently also working through doing my PIF Highers diploma exam.
Furthering my skills & knowledge is very important to me, therefore I attend demos & seminars that cover multiple breed trims, breed specifics, anatomy, handling, business skills, scissor skills and endless other topics.
I enjoy taking part in grooming competitions and have competed with breeds such as the Bichon Frise, the Norwich Terrier, the Lhasa Apso, the Airdale Terrier, the Bedlington Terrier and cross breeds such as the English & American Cockerpoo.
I currently groom the following breeds in my salon in preparation for the show - Bichon Frise (full scissor), Airdale Terrier, Basset Fauve de Bretagne, Flatcoat Retriever, & Irish Terrier (all handstripped).
I have attended workshops where I have been tutored with breed experts on the Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, the puppy pants Poodle trim, Airdale Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier and Norwich Terrier.
I have some experience in teaching grooming one to one and I love helping fellow groomers at the beginning of their grooming journey.
I handle a Bichon Frise reguarly in Kennel Club shows & I can often be found also watching various other breeds to see all the breed standard show trims around.
I love all aspects of grooming but I am happiest when working on a breed standard trim. I love scissoring in nicely shaped legs & heads & handstriping
