Oleksandra Novak, known as Sasha, has been a dedicated dog groomer for a year and six months. Inspired by her profound love for animals and the challenge of working with dogs with special needs, Sasha entered the grooming profession. While she doesn't hold any formal certificates or courses, her hands-on experience and natural affinity for dogs speak volumes. One of her most memorable experiences was grooming a sick and aggressive dog named Shean, whose parents later expressed their delight at seeing their dog happy and wiggling for the first time after a grooming session.

Sasha enjoys working with all breeds but has a special fondness for Shih Tzus. She believes in spending a few minutes in a meet-and-greet session with new dogs to understand their mood and help them feel comfortable with her. Following top groomers on Instagram and TikTok, she stays updated with popular grooming techniques and trends. The most challenging aspect of her job is managing time, especially with late or difficult dogs. However, Sasha maintains her calm to ensure the dogs feel at ease. Her favorite grooming tool is her Kenchi thinners, which help achieve a smooth and natural look, especially on wiggly dogs.
Seeing happy pups and their satisfied parents is the most rewarding part of Sasha's job. She takes pride in successfully grooming challenging dogs and creating a stress-free environment for them. Sasha's approach involves letting dogs smell and get used to her before slowly starting the grooming process, accompanied by a calm and relaxing voice. She advises dog owners to train their pets to brush at home or bring them in for brushing sessions if needed. Outside of grooming, Sasha loves sports and has extensive knowledge about the human body, often sharing exercise advice. If she weren't a dog groomer, she would likely be a massage therapist, driven by her desire to share love and care.
