BEHIND THE Shears

Our Story

HELLO, I’M Christina. Founder and Groomer of
The Pawsmetologist.

Prior to dog grooming I had worked various jobs from vet assistant, kennel assistant, horse groom, equine training assistant, equestrian teaching assistant, and so on. I also studied at the University of Kentucky for Equine Science and Management and Animal Science.

In 2017 wanted to try something new, so I began working part time in a grooming salon while I was in school for Veterinary Technology. The plan was to be a vet tech, but I fell in love with grooming and became a pet-stylist.

I worked at a number of salons, both corporate and private and I found that the environments were very hectic and stressful, and didn’t provide the experience of grooming I wanted for the dogs or even myself.

I believe that dog grooming is a very important and regular aspect in a dogs life, so it should be something they should feel relaxed about. Thus. in 2020 I opened The Pawsmetologist from my home to be able to provide a thorough and low-stress experience for dogs.

My hope is to have all my furry clients look forward to grooming and that they come out not only looking cute, but well cared for. I also want to be a go-to resource for their owners and owners in the community for their pet care needs and questions.

With that, I am always looking for refine my grooming skills and canine knowledge so that I can continuously offer the best for all of my clients, dogs and owners alike.
