Welcome to Louisa's Grooming Salon, here is a little bit about me.
I grew up with a lovely standard poodle who was groomed by a lovely lady.
The groomer had to retire and I was about to start a career as a vet nurse but was becoming a bit disillusioned with idea
so i though I would give grooming a try. I took an intensive 4 month course at The London Academy of Grooming in 1991 and
have been grooming ever since.
I run an email list for groomers in the southeast and contribute to several
others. I have also written many articles for various industry publications.
I myself have regularly competed for several years with multiple wins including
1st place in the Experienced Poodle and Terrier classes at the British Grooming Championships and have also judged grooming
competitions.
I have demonstrated many times at Crufts, The British Dog Grooming
Championships, Eurogroom and at Glee Petindex and have appeared as a groomer on Television and Radio.
I attend as many educational events as possible both here and abroad to
offer my clients the best service I can.
I have undertaken an online course Chemistry for Groomers, learning
how and why shampoos are made and exactly how they work and affect the skin and coat.
We are also members of The Pet
Care Trust and the British Dog Groomers Asocsiation and hold the Advanced City & Guilds Grooming Qualification and also received the City
& Guilds Licentiateship in grooming.
Grooming is more than a job to me it is my hobby
too and I strive to be the very best I can at it. Above all your dogs welfare is the most important thing in the salon
and we are dedicated to making sure that he or she is happy with us.
If you would like some information on our services please give us a call.
