Stylist Stories

“I enjoy the attention to details that are provided to every client, along with the sanitation measures that the salon follows to keep our pups safe and healthy. Very few salons are kept up to these standards, and that is what attracted me here.”

Erin Smith, Pet Stylist  with over 5 years of Pet Grooming Experience

“I have always had a passion for the beauty and hair industry along with a big love for dogs. Salty Dawg Pet Salon provided me with an exciting alternative career opportunity. I quickly learned that many of the skills I had been taught in the school transitioned over very well into my new Pet Stylist role.”

“When I came across this opportunity, what stood out instantly to me was the approach that Salty Dawg Pet Salon was taking towards Pet Grooming. I could see that Salty Dawg Pet Salon was setting a new standard with their training curriculum. It has been amazing to witness how quickly Licensed Cosmetologists pick up pet grooming as a result of their previous training in the beauty and hair industry.”
