TEAM LEADER

SOPHIA

As someone who doesn’t like questionnaires (does anyone unless there’s a £20 incentive?), we just had to let Sophia take her photo with Verdi, her Retriever, to get the lowdown. After all, they both have a lot in common, including long walks in the woods or by the river Thames. Sophia’s love of pups started when she was young, visiting her grandparents to play with their dogs. Now she shares her love of baking with the team, keeping the Doggy Styling groomers fuelled with fresh cakes. My favourite place: Italy… Bellissima!

STYLIST

ELLY

Elly got into the world of dog grooming because they are her favourite animal and who wouldn’t want to be around dogs all day? When she’s not working, you’ll most likely find her curled up in front of the fire with a roast dinner, tucking in like a Terrier. Extra gravy and another Yorkshire (pudding) please! Oh, and if you’re looking for a top pub quizzer, look no further. Elly’s specialist subjects include dogs (obviously), houseplants, gardening, and Adam Sandler… if that’s not a winning combination, we don’t know what is. I’m good at: pub quizzes.

STYLIST

KYLA

It’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from… Kyla? While in the salon we work all day, Kyla enjoys spending her time freediving - discovering a whole new world under the sea…ok we’ll stop. When not holding her breath, you might find Kyla admiring Japanese cars, Mazda MX-5s to be exact. Or maybe raving to tunes from the 80s and 90s on a Friday night. Now that’s what we call style. Although when with our cuddly clients, Kyla resists the urge to give every doggy who visits us a mullet…much to their relief. My spirit breed: a Spaniel.

STYLIST

JAZZ

Huge bat-fan Jazz understands dogs more than people. Which is fair, as with dogs, you just know you’ll be loved unconditionally. If Jazz were a dog though, it would be a Doberman, loyal and a bit of a softy underneath. Don’t tell Jazz, but we’re thinking of dressing up a Doberman as a bat to see what her reaction will be. Seventh heaven, we reckon. Jazz’s favourite place is South Africa – probably because there are around 56 bat species there, and she cares about animal conservation too. Basically, Jazz loves bats if you hadn’t already guessed. I’m good at: art and photography.

STYLIST

GEORGIA

If you ever hear music coming from the Doggy Styling salon, you’ll know Georgia is in the house! Georgia knows A LOT of different songs and always helps the team add new tracks to their playlists. Although we all seem to have way more Taylor Swift songs than before… One of Georgia’s favourite breeds to groom are Scottish Terriers, due to the amazing transformation. It’s hard but rewarding work making their coat shine, but that’s why Georgia became a dog groomer. Away from the daily grooming, you’ll find Georgia looking after Sims and their pets, or adventuring in the latest Legend of Zelda game. Favourite breed: Golden Retriever – happy and easy going just like Georgia.
