About Us

A home studio where dogs are groomed one at a time, with patience and genuine love for the craft.

Our story

A career-changer with a dog at the centre of it

This studio exists because of a simple truth: I'm a dog owner and a passionate animal lover, and a change in my career was something that had to happen. I completed a course in dog grooming and behaviour/training — learning not just how to cut and style fur, but how to read a dog, manage their anxiety, and pace a session to what they actually need.

The grooming happens in a family home in Box Hill North — the same home where dogs come to stay when their owners travel. It's not a salon. It's quieter, calmer, and unhurried in a way a busy shopfront can't be. One dog at a time, always.

At first a session may take longer than you're used to — especially with a nervous or first-time visitor. But in our experience, when a dog starts trusting you, future sessions are shorter, calmer, and better for everyone. That patience is the whole point.

The mission

What drives every session

It is my number one priority to make all dogs feel relaxed and safe — and taking my time grooming your dog is extremely important to the mission of From Shabby to Chic Groomers.

I promise to love every dog as if it was my own, providing the utmost care and attention to detail. We love our job. We believe that pets deserve quality care and love — because we want to make our four-legged friends happy.
