Ayla brings over five years of grooming training and hands-on experience from Korea, with a strong focus on gentle, safety-first grooming.

She began by building a solid foundation in grooming fundamentals for two years, then continued gaining practical experience in a veterinary grooming salon and a private one-on-one salon. Through this experience, she worked with a wide range of dogs and learned to adjust each groom based on the dog’s condition, temperament, and comfort level.

Ayla’s grooming style focuses on safety, communication, and thoughtful care rather than speed. She takes her time with each dog and values creating a calm, comfortable experience, especially for senior dogs, sensitive dogs, and dogs with skin or coat concerns.
