and luck

LUCK was kind to me, I grew up with animals and dogs from an early age and gained a natural understanding of my best friends. Whether at my grandparents’ former practice with an integrated animal shelter or at home on the farm, I was always enthusiastic about the four-legged friends, helped care for them and looked after their welfare.

I successfully completed my 3-year apprenticeship as an EFZ dog hairdresser and groomer at Strickhof in 2014. In my training company (Lupo in Meilen) everything was perfect from the start and after completing my apprenticeship I had the opportunity to consolidate my knowledge as a trainee for a further 2 years.

In 2016, I decided to end my apprenticeship. It wasn’t easy, as my mentor has since become a good friend. She gave me the best possible start in the world of work and I would still like to thank her for that today!

My curiosity led me to set off on my own to discover the world. After some time, I found myself on the other side of the world in New Zealand, doing hair in a dog salon. Now I knew that this work was really my passion and it was time to return home to tackle the project of opening my own salon.

In the first few months I worked as a groom at the Bundi yard in Meilen and with a bit of courage and luck I was able to enlarge, renovate and professionally furnish the room in Küsnacht where I had been grooming friends’ and relatives’ dogs from time to time since my apprenticeship.

I found my dog Luna at the animal shelter – it took a lot of work, time and love. But now she’s the absolute haven of peace and has taken on the role of salon mom. She has already convinced many a dog that happiness can actually be very pleasant.

In short, this site is my little HAPPINESS and I hope to give you and your four-legged friend some of it too.

Viktoriia

and luck

I am supported in my work by Viktoriia. She has set up her own dog salon twice in Ukraine and trained staff. Both times she had to leave her business behind for well-known reasons. Now that she has arrived in Switzerland, the motivated young woman has done everything she can to successfully obtain a permanent residence permit for herself and her son.

I’m really looking forward to the professional exchange, I’m sure we can learn a lot from each other. As she has set up her own business in my dog salon, I ask my clients to support her in her independence and also to book appointments with Viktoriia.

For the time being she is working Thurs-Fri. But as soon as there are enough applications she would like to work 100%.

It is also possible to work quietly with the dogs as I have set up two separate workstations.

All dogs can book an appointment with Viktoriia, regardless of weight class.
