As a groomer for over 17 years, I have been taking care of others’ pets and making sure they are safe and comfortable. Regular nail trims ensure dogs can walk properly without damage to the paw, while trimming between the pads allows more traction while walking (which is especially important for our older pets!).

We are self employed professionals, who are in need to financially support ourselves and our families. We are essential and need the lift!

The beauty industry is mainly built on independent self employed people that rely on clients to make money to sustain their income to pay bills, buy groceries and everyday living. The small owner that I d still required to pay the rent and power on the salon that isn't bringing in any money at all is hurting the owner and may shut that business down. Our towns need those businesses and those professionals need the business still open to use their very expensive license to continue to work and provide for their families. We were placed as non- essential, but practicing our craft is essential to not place ourselves in a grave financial hardship and loss of a business.
