Stylist

When love & passion meets professionalism.

Hi, I’m Erika — a Master Groomer with over 15 years of experience in the grooming industry. Recently, I earned the title of the first active Master Groomer in the area, a milestone that reflects my dedication to my craft.

I specialize in creative, modern styles, precise coat sculpting, and advanced scissoring techniques that give each dog a beautifully styled, crisp look. Over the years, I’ve attended grooming schools and numerous seminars across California, as well as annual grooming expos to stay ahead of industry trends. Since 2017, I’ve proudly competed in grooming competitions every year, earning multiple certificates, recognitions, and valuable experience.

Dogs are my heart. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with several beloved mixed breeds who lived to be 16, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. Today, I own and show two Miniature Schnauzers — my specialty breed — and I’m skilled in providing correct breed-standard trims and professional handstripping.

With an artistic eye and a genuine love for animals, I bring passion, precision, and creativity to every grooming session, making each dog not only look their best but feel their best.
