Grooms by Melissa

Ever since I was young, growing up in Saddlebrook, New Jersey, I have loved animals. Whether it was finding strays to play with or taking care of the family pets, my love for animals eventually led me to the animal care industry as a kennel assistant. Then, I found my calling as a pet groomer when I worked as a volunteer in local humane societies.

I entered grooming school in 1992 at Nash Academy of Animal Arts and Science in Cliffside Park, New Jersey where I received a degree in Animal Arts and Science.

I specialize in breed-specific haircuts, cat grooming, and hand scissoring.

I reside in Cary with my four dogs that I rescued from humane shelters: Scootch (Fox Hound), Nestle (Jack Russell), Bella (Italian Greyhound), and Dixie (Dalmatian Mix).  I also belong to the Best Friends Network, an organization that helps relocate animals.
