When I turned 16, I started my first job working at Petsmart as a cashier. I was quickly captivated by the grooming world, and I wanted so bad to be in their little salon bubble. I made the jump and started as a bather, watching and learning from the other groomers for about a year. Then I was ready. I went to a 4 week academy, and learned how to style each pet using clippers and scissors. I loved it! Fast forward to 2010. I moved to Columbia MO to start a family with my husband. Petsmart was opening a new store, so I was one of the first groomers to open that salon! I groomed for seven great years until I took on the responsibilities of Salon Leader. I learned a lot about managing and being a leader over the next two years; but life happens, and so I became a mother for the 4th time. I wanted to spend more time with my children, but didn't want to stop what I loved. So my husband and I had the brilliant idea to build a salon in our basement, and my business was born! It’s been about a full year since I started and its been the most wonderful, rewarding experience I’ve had. I am glad I’m able to have a job that I can work from home and still be with my furry friends; And that’s the story of Friendly Paws!
