Riley’s Grooming Co: From Salon Life to One-to-One Grooming with Sharperedges Tools

Riley’s Grooming Co: From Salon Life to One-to-One Grooming with Sharperedges Tools

Dog grooming is more than just a job. For Riley’s Grooming Co, it’s a passion built on years of experience, transformation, and plenty of wagging tails.

After completing City & Guilds Levels 2 and 3 in Dog Grooming, the founder, Sarah Davies, spent nine years running a busy salon. The business grew quickly, offering job opportunities and renting tables to other groomers. But as the salon became more demanding, so did family life. That’s when a new chapter began.

In 2024, Riley’s Grooming Co was born, a purpose-built salon at home where grooming could be personal again. One-to-one appointments allow more focus on each dog while still leaving space for family time.

“I’ve been grooming for 12 years now. I decided after nine years to take a step back and offer a more personal one-to-one service at home, where I could balance what I love doing the most — grooming — and family life.”

The Joy of Transformation

Ask any groomer what makes the job worthwhile and the answer is often the same: seeing the transformation. For Riley’s Grooming Co, that moment when a scruffy dog becomes a polished pup never gets old. It’s not just the look that changes but also the trust built with the dog and the reaction from their owners.

And of course, there are all the cuddles too.

Grooming with Sharperedges Tools

Behind every perfect groom is a good set of tools. Riley’s Grooming Co trusts Sharperedges scissors to create that flawless finish. The Flip Fluffs and Dana Curved Chunkers are top favorites, helping every groom feel effortless.

“All of my Sharperedges collection makes each groom easier. I didn’t know how I managed without them. They elevate every groom and help me get that flawless finish.”

When asked for one must-have recommendation, there’s no hesitation: the Flip Fluffs. “They leave the best finish. With a light hand they just buffer everything out and make everything look flawless.”

Advice for Fellow Groomers

With over a decade of experience, Riley’s Grooming Co has plenty of wisdom to share.

Patience is everything. Practice really does make perfect. Proper prep saves time and ensures a smooth cut. Reverse clipping Spaniel feet is a small hack that saves time and avoids fighting with stubborn toe fluff. And most importantly, don’t overbook yourself. Allow time to be proud of every groom.

A Memorable Milestone

A proud moment came when Riley’s Grooming Co entered their first grooming competition. Confidence didn’t come easily, but entering an online competition made it possible. Dexter the young Cockapoo stood like a champ and helped win first place in group. That moment not only boosted confidence but also created a new love for grooming Cockapoos.
