Grooms by Chelsea

Had a fantastic weekend at Groom'd, I learned so much from industry experts that I am excited to bring to the table with your pups!

I learned about overall skin health and wellness for pets and what to do when accidents happen from veterinarian Dr. Micah Kohles, poodle trims from the brilliant Judy Hudson, learned a lot about balancing mixed breeds from National Certified Master Groomer Shannon Tupes, and got certified in the Fifteen Coat types by the incredible educator that is Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins, and so much more from many others not mentioned.

Beyond thankful that I was able to have this opportunity and looking forward to more balanced grooms, happier dogs, and happier pet parents! Thank you all for supporting me along this journey.

You’re a VFL if you’re in my family! This is my nephew, Benji. So happy he came to visit me today.

So excited, blessed, and thankful to have gotten some new blades for Christmas.

I can’t wait to have more polished and speedier grooms.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you, thank you for supporting me this last year 🤍

Great tips!

✨️Things to ask your groomer!✨️

As I have mentioned before, the grooming industry is 🚫NOT🚫 regulated like the human cosmetology, barber, and esthetic industry.

What this means is that basically ANYONE can purchase tools from amazon, walmart, or wherever and call themselves a groomer and charge people for it...even though they have 0 training nor insurance.
There are NO formal licenses required for grooming!

There are, however, several accredited grooming schools and academys as well as apprenticeships that offer several week courses which include canine anatomy, in depth training of bathing and drying each different breeds coat, breed standard grooms, show grooms and much more.
Many of these require you to perfect bathing, conditioning and drying and have an understanding of canine anatomy before even touching sharp objects!

These are some of the major questions to ask when choosing a groomer!

❗️Don't just choose them because they are the cheapest!
❗️Don't just choose them because they have an immediate opening tomorrow.

You are handing over a living being 🐶 to someone who will be handling sharp objects around their faces, sanitary areas, etc.

You wouldn't let someone practice botox, waxing, or anything with sharp objects on yourself without a mentor present... So don't let a random person practice grooming on your dog without a mentor present!

Make sure your family's pet(s) is/are in safe, gentle and caring hands! 🫶

Was in complete love with little Zoe.

Her mom and dad have even been introducing her at home to the buzz and vibrations of a clipper so she was an absolute dream on the table!

Before and after on Jolene 🤍

(I may have sang Jolene by Dolly to her the whole time she was with me. 🤣)

For Ruby’s new groom I tried out long tassel ears on her without shaving them entirely at the top.

Such a cute and fun way to change things up!

This is a great visual! The longer the hair-the longer you need to spend on maintenance-

Come in for a fresh cut to ultimately save you daily time and your money (on those pesky matting fees)
