Stylist

When love & passion meets professionalism.
Hi I’m Erika I have over 13 years of experience in the grooming industry. Recently earning the title of the first active Master Groomer in the area. I love being creative with different modern styles, sculpturing of coats, and enjoy extra scissoring using different techniques to give a dog a styled crisp look. I have attended Grooming Schools and seminars throughout California and also attend the grooming expos every year to further my skills. I’ve been a competitive groomer since 2017 and still compete every year. I boast in several certificates, recognition, and experiences in the industry. I have an immense love for dogs. I’ve had the pleasure to own a few adorable mix breeds who lived to be 16 years old seniors have a special place in my heart. I now have 2 show dogs that are Miniature Schnauzers which is the breed I specialize in giving a Correct Standard Trim along with handstripping. I have always had an artistic side to me – I love grooming dogs, and so I mix my passion and the artistic side together.
