Stylist

When Love & Passion Meet Professionalism

My name is Erika, and I am a Master Groomer with over 15 years of professional experience. I proudly hold the distinction of being the first active Master Groomer in this area, reflecting years of dedication, advanced education, and commitment to excellence. I am also internationally certified, having completed a Teacher’s Course in Malaysia, which allows me to mentor and educate groomers worldwide.

I specialize in modern, precision-based grooming, including advanced scissoring, coat sculpting, and breed-standard styling, treating each groom as a work of art that enhances a dog’s natural beauty.

Committed to continuous growth, I have attended numerous grooming academies, seminars, and expos, and have competed in national grooming competitions since 2017, earning multiple awards.

I currently own and show two Miniature Schnauzers, my specialty breed. With an artistic eye, technical precision, and genuine care, I ensure every dog looks and feels their best.
