SENIOR STYLIST
OLENA KHODIUK

Olena Khodiuk is a skilled groomer with 12 years of experience, specializing in small breeds of dogs and cats.

She began her grooming career as a second-year veterinary student in Ukraine, where she found a perfect blend of working with animals and earning money. Olena holds a degree from a veterinary university and has accumulated numerous certifications, including master classes and advanced training courses in creative and salon grooming from 2015 to 2020. Her expertise includes grooming Yorkies, Spitz, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Bichons, Poodles, Maltipoo, Spaniels, Corgis, Pugs, Chihuahuas, Schnauzers, and West Highland White Terriers.

Olena's passion for grooming stems from her love for transforming pets and seeing the joy on their owners' faces. She employs a soft voice, smooth movements, and gentle touches to ensure the dogs feel comfortable and safe. Despite the challenges of time constraints and handling aggressive dogs, Olena finds the most rewarding part of her job is when both the pet and their owner leave happy. To maintain a pet’s coat between grooming sessions, she advises regular combing and drying with a hairdryer after baths to prevent mats. A creative individual, Olena enjoys drawing inspiration from Instagram and Pinterest, surrounding herself with beauty and creativity in all aspects of life.
