Hi my name is Michelle and I am an experienced level 3 qualified Dog Groomer.

My dog grooming journey begin in 2019 when I decided to leave retail and follow my passion to work with animals. I have always loved dogs and discovered that I could get my level 1 dog grooming qualification at Merrist Wood College, and so it began.

Following this, I began volunteering in a salon to gain more experience and after a few months I was offered a job.

Over the next few years I worked my way up from being a part-time assistant Dog Groomer to a full-time Salon Manager.

Alongside full-time work, I completed my City and Guilds level 2 and 3 qualification in dog grooming at Sparsholt college. In addition to this I completed courses such as: Dog First Aid and Health and Well-being in the Grooming Room. Also, I attended various seminars to continuously progress my skills and improve my knowledge of the field.

In June 2023 I took the decision to venture out on my own and found my perfect salon to start Fur by Flint. I currently work on my own so all my appointments are 1-2-1 which provides a calming and relaxed environment for your dog where I can work at their pace.
