Sherrise has experience with a wide range of common dog breeds, though she aspires to work with more unique breeds like Airedales. Her approach to grooming new dogs involves taking her time to ensure they are comfortable and relaxed. She allows them to sniff her, gives them treats, and pets them to build trust before beginning the grooming process. Sherrise stays updated with the latest grooming styles and techniques by watching videos on Instagram and TikTok and attending seminars to learn new creative styles. Her favorite tool is her curved thinning shears, which she uses to blend and perfect round faces.
