Where your pup goes from scruffy to chic
Ever since Jasmine was a little girl, she has loved animals and wanted to work with them.
While going to community college in the Bay Area, she got a job as a cashier at her local PetSmart. She quickly went from cashier to small animal care associate, then finally was offered to work in their grooming department. She was a bather for 3 months before she got the amazing opportunity to go to their grooming school. After completing their hands-on training in October 2007, she returned back to her original store where she groomed for a year before finding different employment.
Jasmine used her skills to groom and work her way up to become Salon Manager at her local Petco. While there, she learned different techniques, time management, and gained more confidence in her grooming abilities. She stayed there for 5 years before leaving to help her friend start his own private grooming salon.
Jasmine helped her friend start the business from the ground up. From grooming out of his garage to build clientele, to eventually opening up three store fronts in San Jose CA that quickly became very successful. She managed not one, but two of the locations for 5 years before moving up here to Shasta County.
With this relocation, Jasmine was able to finally achieve her dream of 10 years of opening her own salon! She strives to provide quality work and customer service to every client that walks through her door.
In her personal life, Jasmine owns quite the zoo with her husband, Don. They currently share their home with 8 dogs(Juno, Jude, Archer, Lana, Dozer, Reese, Lennox, and Simone); 3 cats(Iris, Storm, and Mordecai); 4 Leopard Geckos(Mac, Pancake, Ravioli, and Cornbread); 2 Tarantulas(Charlotte and Ombre); two Llamas: Carl and a female named Larry; 2 Northern Blue tongue Skinks(Stewie and Reptar) and a whole lot of snakes!
