Howdy! I'm Ambri, and my journey into the world of pet grooming began about four years ago, fueled by a passion for animals, that has always been at the core of who I am. I'm a true country girl, raised on a farm where my family specialized in breeding German Shepherds. Those early years gave me the extraordinary opportunity to competitively train and showcase these remarkable dogs in local 4H, AKC, and UKC shows. My connection with animals extends far beyond dogs; it embraces a wide range of species. My experiences have not only encompassed training and showcasing but also the artistry of grooming. I grew up grooming horses, shearing sheep, bathing dogs, and tending to cats, along with all the other farm animals that enriched our lives.
Along this remarkable journey, I found myself at a natural holistic pet care store, where I delved deep into the world of pet nutrition. This knowledge isn't just for my own pets; it's something I eagerly share with our clients to ensure their beloved companions receive the very best care and nutrition available.
The profound realization that I could return to my roots and turn my passion into a fulfilling profession transformed my life. Today, as the proud owner of The Art of Grooming, I am on a mission to educate our fellow groomers and clients alike. My unyielding dedication is to provide unparalleled products and care for your cherished fur babies.
Welcome to The Art of Grooming, where your pet's well-being and happiness are not just priorities; they are our unwavering passion and purpose.
Hi all! My name is Kristy, a seasoned professional with 23 years of dedicated experience in the world of animal care, including an impressive 17-year journey in grooming. My passion for animals ignited at a young age, specifically at 14, when I began grooming and showcasing Chinese Crested and Xolos. My early exposure continued to flourish as I delved into the grooming intricacies of various animals, including exotic birds, where I mastered the art of clipping nails, wings, and beaks.
My pet-centric journey has been diverse, extending beyond traditional furry companions to include horses, goats, pigs, chickens, bunnies, and more. I officially entered the grooming world as a bather at the age of 15 1/2, initially at The Dog Spa and later expanding my skills at Petco. Eager to elevate my expertise, I transitioned to independent grooming, honing my craft on my own beloved pup and gradually building a clientele in the local area.
My quest for knowledge led me to join Dirty Dog Spa, where I underwent professional training in haircutting techniques. Over the years, my grooming adventures took me across California and Arizona, each location contributing to the expansion of my skills and understanding of the field. In 2020, fueled by a desire to take my career to new heights, I ventured into entrepreneurship, opening my own successful business. Fast forward to 2023, and I've since sold my business to align with the esteemed Art of Grooming, where I continue to thrive and contribute my wealth of experience to the industry.
Hello, I’m Taylor! I’ve been a professional dog groomer since 2013, and an animal lover my entire life. I grew up around horses, competing in rodeo and barrel racing from a young age.
I always knew I wanted to pursue a career with animals, and grooming allows me to express my creativity all while helping animals. In 2013, I started in a corporate salon in California, where I grew up. I quickly moved up the ranks to salon leader at only 20 years old, and eventually left to start my own mobile grooming company in 2017.
In 2018, I moved from my home state of California to Central Oregon, where my company thrived and I bought two units and hired an employee. Oregon is beautiful but I decided I needed a change of pace (and to get out of the snow!). I moved to Arizona fall of 2023, and I’m loving the weather and the mobile grooming clients out here!
I specialize in corrective grooming and adorable everyday pet trims. I love seeing the look on pet parents’ faces when they see their cutie strutting their stuff after their groom! I also love working on perfecting my breed standard haircuts, and hope to compete in grooming competitions someday soon. I am also working towards getting my Master Groomer Certifications.
I can’t wait to work with you all, and thank you for trusting me with your four legged family!
