Dog lovers out there! Dream of working with dogs all day? I did, for a decade! Even through college and throughout my teaching career...Until finally my husband said, we are sending you to grooming school! And I was so confused, grooming school? So we did our research and we wanted the best for me because if I was going to fly from Hawaii to the mainland to learn to be a dog groomer (how funny does that sound) we thought "go big or go home." So I enrolled at Nash in Kentucky and packed my bags and left my little island and family to embrace this new career endeavor. Nash had ever so convenient student housing right across the street from the school (But please watch out for busses when crossing the street!) and boy was I in a for a surprise! Dogs hate getting groomed! I left class everyday in tears and did not think I could ever do it. But Vivian Nash's (owner and founder) love for dogs was still so apparent after all her years of experience and the pure joy in her eyes every time I saw her with a doggy, I would think to myself, I can do this! I want to be her! I want that happiness too! So I pulled up my bootstraps and took everything I possibly could from Nash Academy's Program (which is set up for success!) What I learned from being at school there (besides learning how to become a pet professional) is that no matter where you go, or what you do in life, you are only going to get out of your education, what you put into it. So, if you are like me, and determined to be the best you can be, then choose Nash Academy because the foundation of their program only will lead you to many successes in your professional grooming career. Just 3 years later I own the top growing pet salon in Honolulu. Am I the best stylist out there? Of course not (Yet!) but my clients leave my salon knowing that , A) I LOVE their doggy and B) I have a rich foundation & education to care for their furry best friend. Thank you Nash Academy for helping me LIVE MY HAPPINESS and no longer Dream about it. Aloha!
