‘Get to know your groomer’.
My name is Charlotte, and I am 26 years of age. I have been in the grooming industry gaining salon experience since I was 15. I was took on by a lovely woman called Caroline who gave me a Saturday job. I worked with Caz on and off for around 7/8 years. She showed me just how much I love grooming and has continued to support me to this day.
After losing my mum in 2019, I lost myself for quite some time. I knew my mum wanted me to Pursue my dreams of working alongside animals so in 2021 I decided to take the plunge and go back to college . I completed a 2 year course and in 2023 left with a distinction, and a Level 3 advanced animal management qualification.
I’ve just completed my first year of university as a zoology student and have a further 3 to go.
I knew grooming held a special place in my heart, so in December of 2022 I decided to complete a level 3 dog grooming course. I’m so glad I did ! As In March of 2023 I qualified as a professional groomer.
So who is the dog in my pictures?
This is Lulu. Lulu was my 11 year old Cavachon. She was my best friend, my comfort, my baby. Anyone who personally knows me knows how much this dog meant to me, and how much she’s got me through these last few years. On the 5th April 2024 lulu crossed the 🌈bridge and It absolutely broke my heart.
Not long after losing her the opportunity of working at chops became available. It felt like a sign🌈. I love coming into a place where there’s constant kisses and happy tails and animals that are genuinely happy to just be in your presence (mostly when they’re not on the grooming table and being fed yummy treats🤣).
An opportunity has came for me to create my own business and I have grabbed it with both hands. In memory of my sweet girl I decided to name that business Lulusgrooms. I promise to continue educating and bettering myself to provide the best care possible to your dogs and treat the dogs in my care like my own until they leave them doors again.
I am so grateful to those who have already trusted myself, and who have sent multiple supportive messages and recommendations to family and friends.💖
