Lexie The Pet Stylist and Master Cat Groomer:
I was accepted into Certificate 3 in Companion Animal Studies in 2005 and started a grooming traineeship at Melville Vet in April 2005. I then moved to a Grooming Parlour and continued the training. I completed a certificate in Pet Grooming in November 2005. I then groomed full time until 2007 where I started Certificate 4 in Vet Nursing. I started grooming cats unsedated when I did my first, and loved it! I then Moved to Glen Iris Vet clinic to continue my Nursing training and completed my certificate. At this time in November 2007 I started Happy’s Grooming, where I later changed my name to Lexie’s Dog and Cat Grooming, due to another grooming parlour named Happy Dog Grooming. I found my dogs were much happier going home as soon as they were finished and most walk into my salon without being asked! I also have purchased much more safety equipment to keep your pet safe while grooming. I then in 2010 completed my Nursing Qualification. I have become a Vet Nurse to compliment my grooming and help the clientel with their health/grooming advice.
I now aquire:
- Certificate 3 in Companion Animal Studies (Bentley Tafe)
- Certificate 4 in Veterinary Nursing (Applied Vocational Training)
- Certificate 4 in Pet Styling (TAFE SA)
- Master Cat Groomer Certificate (London Cat Grooming School)
Our Grooming Goals:
To become the best Groomer I can be and give my clients the best service possible. I am always advancing my Grooming skills with courses, new equipment and advice from other groomers.
