Training

If you’re looking for career progression then look no further. We offer training and career progression that only a company of our size could possibly offer. With over 50 grooming salons and plans to open up to a further 20 new salons over the next 12 months we’re keen to develop our people, and with a clear structure in our salons this creates a fantastic career path.

Assistant Stylists


All Assistant Stylists complete an induction in their salon which covers health and safety, bathing, de-matting, breed and coat recognition, dog behaviour and first aid.  As part of inductions we introduce you to our grooming portfolios which are designed to enable salons to highlight areas where Assistant Stylists excel as well as identifying areas for their development.


We offer a comprehensive in-house training programme, made up of 3 levels and taking a year to complete which, on completion will develop Assistant Stylists into Stylists.


We also offer an intensive fast track programme whereby Assistant Stylists are made into Stylists.  This scheme is used when the needs of the business dictate but we’re keen to develop as many people as possible.

Stylists


Inductions are carried out in the salon by the Salon Manager and these cover information about our operating procedures as well as an insight into our grooming portfolios which are designed to enable salons to highlight areas where Stylists excel as well as identifying areas for their development.


We offer various in-house training courses which are designed to provide our Stylists with a broader skillset and keep them up-to-date with the latest trends.  Some of these courses involve cat grooming, first aid and breed specific courses.


For those Stylists who show potential and are eager to develop into Salon Manager’s we have a workbook for them to complete which covers everything but grooming!  The Salon Manager’s role involves much more as well as being a fantastic groomer and therefore the workbook covers all the additional things which our Salon Manager’s do in their role, such as driving sales, commerciality, rota planning and building and developing teams to name just a few!
