Hi, I’m Valerie Partynski
As a second generation groomer, I grew up in grooming salons, alongside my Mom. I learned to train and compete with my Standard Poodle, Java, in AKC Junior Handling at age 12.
At age 17, I enrolled in the Great Lakes Grooming Academy to get formal training from award winning groomers Meggan Murphy and Jeanne Mulcahy. I graduated in 2001, and eventually became an instructor there.
Now, I am an award-winning, competitive groomer and have been mentored by AKC show handlers and top winning competitive groomers. I’ve shown Poodles, Lakeland Terriers, Kerry Blue Terriers, and currently show my Chinese Cresteds.
My Salon
After working at a high volume salon for over 15 years, I decided it was time for a change. It was time to slow down, spend more time enjoying the pets, and create a quiet, relaxing environment.
Keeping it Simple
Grooming pets one on one keeps them out of crates, and makes it a more relaxing experience for your pet.
Making it Comfortable
No more barking dogs distracting and stressing out your pet. One on one grooming means your pet will be the only one in the shop, making it a tranquil experience for your dog.
