About Salon Cherie :
I have a wealth of experience in Styling, Clipping & Grooming
I have been grooming dogs and cats now for over 43 years. I became aware of the need for dogs and cats to be groomed when I worked in shelters. I was exposed to dogs and cats being so neglected that their coats had to be shaved right down to their skin just to free parts of their bodies so that they could move again. I had to remove parasites, clean sores, and so on, sadly I continue to see pets in these conditions today. I also gained my experience in grooming when I worked in salons that serviced the pet dog industry and some of these dogs such as poodles would not only go home in perfect fashion but have their nails painted! These experiences have shaped my grooming style today and have made me aware of why all dogs and cats need not only to look good but more importantly, to feel comfortable and clean. Lots of animals find it difficult to relax when being handled, so I have always been as gentle as is possible when grooming so that they are able to feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. I achieve this by working at the pet’s pace – that is why I need sufficient time. I have always been and continue to be a Low-Stress Groomer/Handler. My background in Vet Nursing and Dog Behavioral Training has been at the heart of my success. My wonderful clients acknowledge my passion and that is what keeps me motivated
