Awards &
Competitions
Although it is an honour to be known as a multi-award winning stylist, Grooming competitions are so much more than a trophy or rosette. With every turn, you are given invaluable feedback by some of the best groomers, not only in the UK, but worldwide. I truly believe that competing is one of the only ways to improve one’s skill and knowledge beyond the average pet course. It also displays true passion and determination of the industry to keep opening yourself up to critique and continue learning. At Golden Hour Grooming we want every dog to leave looking and feeling their best.
