| Hi, My name is Nikki Beall. I am the groomer for Pups Play & Stay. I began my grooming career by training for 1 year under Jennifer Habel a well know and respected pet groomer in Washington State. Jennifer has owned and operated her own Grooming Salon, appropriately named "Jennifer’s Pet Grooming" since 1979. She still grooms there to this day. During my time with Jennifer she shared with me, all her grooming knowledge from her previous 15 years as a professional groomer. Under Jennifer’s direction I became proficient enough in all breeds to groom dogs in preparation for AKC competition. After my 4 years spent training an working under Jennifer, I moved on to groom independently, followed by several years spent managing a large grooming salon while continuing to groom myself. I then decided to open my own salon and did so in the Raleigh Durham area. After 3 years of success at that location I chose to relocate to Wilmington in 2006 and began working here at Pups Play & Stay. I now have over 13 years of experience in all aspects of pet grooming. I feel I stand apart from many other groomers in my willingness and ability to work with pets that have developed behavior issues. I often find that with some patients and a gentle hand, they are able to learn to enjoy the grooming experience once again. I love what I do and truly believe I have the best job in the world! |
