About me
My salon is based in Thompson which is a small village in norfolk, situated in the heart of the Wayland area. Close to lots of beautiful places to walk your dog such as pedders way and the Pingo Trail.
I offer a calm, friendly service that welcomes all breeds/cross breeds. In a clean & inviting salon. I have days of the week I work alone 1 to 1, I also have days where my fellow roomer Sara works with me.
I have been grooming 8 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 Bedlington Terrier and cross breeds such as the English & American Cockerpoo. I also groom the following breeds that show - Bichon Frise (full scissor), Airdale Terrier, Basset Fauve de Bretagne & Irish Terrier (all handstripped).
I have attended workshops where I have been tutored with breed experts on the Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, Airdale Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier and Norwich Terrier.
I also 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 also love scissoring in nicely shaped legs & heads.
