An A-list of professional groomers will be giving demonstrations of the latest and most popular techniques at the PATS Telford show next month.
On both days of the show, expert groomers will be giving free-to-attend demonstrations of specialist grooming techniques, including Asian-style Grooming, Creative Grooming, Pet Trim and Traditional Trim, as well as advice on how to grow your grooming business.
The demonstrations will highlight the knowledge and expertise required to complete traditional grooming techniques successfully as well as showing off a few modern and creative ideas. There will also be information on tools and products for the everyday groomer, plus tips and tricks to increase salon revenue.
Groomers showing off their skills during the show include Kara Boyd, who runs Fairy DogMother in Cambridgeshire and who recently appeared on the BBC One series Pooch Perfect.
She said: “I’m honoured to be making an appearance and taking part in this year’s PATS pet trade show. I can’t wait to be able to share the knowledge I have gained over the years, and exchange tips and advice with other groomers. It is such a valuable occasion, being able to learn more about our pet industry, and meet new people. See you there!”
Also appearing are Holly Bridden, who owns salon Doggie Stylez in Salford, Greater Manchester, and who specialises in creative grooming; Laura Cook, a certified master groomer from Oxfordshire with more than 20 years’ experience grooming and producing show dogs at major event like Crufts; and Kirsty Cooper, who runs Pet Grooming by Kirsty at Gleve Farm, Congleton, Cheshire, and will be giving an Asian-style demonstration at PATS.
The grooming activity at PATS Telford is being produced in association with Peanut and Pickle, an all-natural canine skincare brand, and the groomers will also be on the Peanut & Pickle stand (N40 in Hall 3) throughout the show to talk with people and offer one-to-one Q&A and extra demos.
