Get directionsAs a solo groomer I'm with a dog for most of the day. Text messages reach me reliably and I'll respond as soon as I'm free.
Send a message any time and I'll respond as soon as I'm between appointments. If you'd rather discuss it over the phone, text me and ask me to call you back — I'll return your call that day.
Text (616) 287-2648This is when I'm able to answer. During grooming hours I'm working with a dog on the table, and stepping away mid-appointment puts the rest of the day behind schedule. Between the dryers and the clippers, calls often go unheard until I'm finished.
Call (616) 287-2648New grooms are posted to Instagram regularly. It's the best place to see recent work and get a sense of my style. For booking and questions, please text — it reaches me faster.
