SENIOR STYLIST
MIKAELA KELLY

Mikaela Kelly is a talented dog groomer with two years of grooming experience and nearly four years in a salon setting.

Initially starting as a bather, Mikaela discovered her passion for grooming and pursued her certification, also obtaining a pet first aid certificate. She is eager to expand her skills to include cat grooming and hand stripping. Mikaela's journey into grooming began with her lifelong love for animals and a desire to help them feel better, inspired by caring for her horse with breathing issues. Her favorite breeds to groom include Yorkies, Chihuahuas, and Poodles.

Mikaela approaches each new dog with a calm demeanor to keep the dog relaxed, adjusting her techniques based on the dog's needs. She stays current with grooming trends by following groomers on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok, and by seeking advice from her coworkers and trainer. The most challenging part of her job is working with aggressive dogs, but she prioritizes safety and adapts her methods to ensure a stress-free experience for the animals. Mikaela finds the most rewarding part of her work in seeing her skills improve over time and helping dogs feel more comfortable and confident. Her favorite tool is her chunkers, perfect for blending hairs and creating smooth finishes. Outside of grooming, Mikaela enjoys horseback riding, playing video games, and reading, and she is surrounded by a loving family of three dogs, two cats, and seven horses. Book an appointment with Mikaela at Pawsh Dog Salon to experience her compassionate and skilled grooming services.
