IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT for Shear Paradise Pet Salon Customers!!

Dear Valued Clients,

I am writing to share an important and heartfelt announcement. I’ve made the very difficult decision to step down as the owner of Shear Paradise Pet Salon and will be leaving the salon at the end of this year. I want you all to know that this decision comes from a place of love and a need to focus on the next chapter of my life.

Shear Paradise has been my passion, my home, and a place where I’ve had the honor of caring for your beloved pets and forming lifelong relationships with so many of you. I am deeply grateful for the trust, loyalty, and kindness you’ve shown me over the years. It has truly been the privilege of a lifetime.

With that said, I am pleased to announce that ownership of Shear Paradise Pet Salon will be transferred to someone who knows the business, the clients, and the pets better than anyone:
our dedicated office manager, Kayla Elser.
Kayla has been an essential part of our team, demonstrating exceptional leadership, compassion, and commitment to keeping the salon running smoothly.

I have complete confidence that she will continue the level of care and service you’ve come to expect. This transition ensures that the salon will remain the warm, welcoming place it has always been. You can expect the same team, the same quality, and the same love for your pets—just under Kayla’s capable guidance.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to serve you and your furry family members for more than two decades. I will always cherish the memories, the stories, and the joy your pets have brought into my life.

With gratitude and warmest regards,
Claudia Johnson ✌️💜🐾

As I reflect on the past 22 years of owning Shear Paradise Pet Salon, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing community that has supported us from day one. What started as a one-woman dream—just me, a grooming table, and a whole lot of determination—has grown into something I could never have imagined.

Because of you—your trust, your loyalty, your pups, and your word-of-mouth love—we’ve grown into a thriving salon with a team of 11 talented, hardworking people who care for over 50 dogs a day. That transformation didn’t happen overnight, and it certainly didn’t happen alone. It happened because this community lifted us up, believed in us, and kept coming back with wagging tails and warm smiles.

Thank you for supporting a small, local business. Thank you for trusting us with your beloved pets. Thank you for helping turn humble beginnings into a beautiful, bustling family of groomers, clients, and dogs we adore.

Here’s to every dog we’ve pampered, every relationship we’ve built, and every moment that brought us here. I am deeply, sincerely grateful for all of you. 🐾❤️

Happy Thanksgiving
— Claudia

🐾🛁 The Importance of Skin Knowledge in Grooming 🛁🐾

As groomers, we do more than just style coats—we’re constantly evaluating the skin and hair of the dogs we care for. Understanding skin and coat structure helps us provide the very best grooming and overall wellbeing.

✨ Did you know?
🐶 Skin is the largest organ in the body and has many important jobs:
✔️ Preventing dehydration
✔️ Acting as a barrier against foreign agents
✔️ Insulating against heat and cold

But here’s the key difference: dog skin is far more fragile than human skin. The thicker a dog’s natural coat, the more delicate their skin tends to be. That’s why hair plays such a vital role—it protects the skin and serves as the body’s first line of defence against infection.

🔎 Beneath the surface, skin is always working: the bottom layer (dermis) grows new cells that move upward through the epidermis before shedding off. The skin has three major layers:
1️⃣ Epidermis
2️⃣ Dermis
3️⃣ Subcutis

As groomers, we’re often the first to notice changes or issues with a dog’s skin. This makes our knowledge and care absolutely essential. 🐕💛
