About me
Ok, so before the boring stuff a quick insight to how i see my job. Dog grooming is a passion, it is my job, my hobby and everything in between. I love to compete as well as learn. I never feel that i know enough and constantly strive to improve my skills. I love to spend time with others in my industry, to learn from them and also to share what i know and to help our industry grow.
The salon has been established over 20 years since 1998, I trained at the London Academy of Grooming in 1991 and have been in the business ever since. I hold the City and Guilds Level 3 Diploma qualification, The Licentiateship of the City & Guilds of London Institute, the British Dog Groomers Association Higher Diploma and I am a member of the Guild of Master GroomersI have won several awards for my dog grooming abilities, including at the British Grooming Championships, Eurogroom, Northern Groomers, Mastergroom, Premiergroom and most recently winner of the Best Salon groomers 2017 at the Grooming show.
I have also judged at competitions and have travelled internationally to competitions and seminars. I occasionally act as a consultant for businesses who wish to start up. I have appeared on television and radio as well as demonstrating all over the UK including Northern Ireland and at Crufts, British Dog Grooming Assoc, Pet Index, PATS and Eurogroom and am the co founder of the English Groomers Group, running seminars, demonstrations competitions and other educational events for fellow groomers. I also set up and ran the English Groomers Group Facebook page five years ago and now manage a team of Admin as the page currently has well over 12000 members.

My pug Albert has been groomed by Louisa since he was 16 weeks old, he enjoys every minute and comes home looking and smelling amazing!
Thank you Vanessa, Albert is a such a sweetheart and i look forward to seeing him next time :D
Our Miniature Schnauzer Coco has always gone to Louisa's to be groomed and was even a model at Crufts! Coco always looks really smart and we often get positive comments from other owners about her cut. Would definitely recommend Louisa's to anyone.
