🐾 A NEW CHAPTER FOR KUTS N KISSES! 🐾
Hi everyone! I’m Shelly, and I’m incredibly excited to officially introduce myself as the new owner of Kuts n Kisses! ❤️
Many of you already know me as one of the groomers here, but I wanted to take a moment to share a little about myself, how I got here, and what this next chapter means to me.
In September 2017, I made a decision to leave my office job and find a career that genuinely made me happy. I knew I wanted to work with animals, but I had no idea just how much that decision would change my life.
I started working at a doggy daycare, where I eventually began shadowing the groomers. What started as curiosity quickly became a passion. I spent my time learning, practicing, and developing my skills, and by July 2019, I was grooming independently with my own schedule.
What began as a leap of faith eventually led me to something I never could have imagined back then — owning a grooming salon of my own.
But my love for animals has always gone far beyond grooming.
Since 2017, I’ve also dedicated my time to animal rescue and advocacy. Rescue has given me a perspective that I carry into my work every single day. Animals don’t have a voice to tell us when they’re frightened, uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or simply need a little extra patience. It’s our responsibility to recognize those things and advocate for their well-being.
To me, grooming has never been just about a haircut or making a dog look pretty. It’s about building trust, understanding each dog’s individual needs, and creating an environment where they are treated with kindness, patience, and respect. Whether I’m working with a senior dog, a nervous first-timer, or a pup who would rather be doing absolutely anything other than getting a bath, their comfort and safety will always matter to me.
That philosophy is something I intend to carry into every aspect of Kuts n Kisses.
And as if taking on a new business wasn’t a big enough life change, I also became a mom just six weeks ago! 💙
Between welcoming my son into the world and becoming a business owner, 2026 has been a year of incredible milestones, new responsibilities, and dreams coming true. It’s a little overwhelming, a lot exciting, and something I’m incredibly grateful for.
One of the things that makes this opportunity so special is that Kuts n Kisses is already home to me. I know the team, I know so many of your dogs, and I understand the relationships and trust that have been built here over the years.
My goal isn’t to change everything you love about Kuts n Kisses. It’s to build on that foundation, continue providing compassionate, quality care, and make this salon the very best it can be for our clients, our employees, and most importantly, the dogs who walk through our doors.
To everyone who has supported me throughout my grooming career, trusted me with their beloved pets, or encouraged me along the way, thank you. I wouldn’t be here without you.
I’m so excited for what the future holds, and I can’t wait to begin this next chapter with all of you! 🐾❤️
With love and gratitude,
Shelly
Proud New Owner of Kuts n Kisses 🐶
