I have worked in the service industry for many years but found my passion working with animals about 2 years ago and I'm never looking back!

The opportunity to work with the TT team on growing their skills, learning new ways to groom compassionately and ultimately share in the special bond between groomers and pets is her true calling.
Jean
Jean
Grooming Instructor
Hi my name is Jean and I started grooming over 30 years ago when I got a miniature poodle. I decided then that I wanted to go into the grooming profession. I have always loved being a groomer because of the interaction with the people and their furry friends is very rewarding. Who doesn't like smiles and a wagging tail? I grew up on a farm in Missouri and in 1995 I moved to Arizona. I have two cats, Rocky and Bob. I like working at Twin Tails because the one on one time is less stressful for your pet. I've been working at Twin Tails for over 3 years. My favorite breeds to groom are terriers and poodles.

Dr. Lisa
Grooming Instructor
I was born and raised in the Logan, Utah area and number 8 of 9 children. From a very young age I bonded with animals especially dogs. I married my husband in New Jersey and had the fantastic opportunity to attend Nash Academy. From there I worked in a big box store as they were opening just their 10th grooming salon. Two years after becoming a groomer, I was given the opportunity to learn under a Master groomer, take the test, improve my skills and receive my certificate from IPG. In 2003, I opened my first grooming location. In 2004, I went to Superzoo for the first time and while there feel in love with creative grooming and for the next 10 years I competed in creative grooming and terrier competitions. I placed second place in international creative and fourth as my highest place in terrier. From 2003 to 2017, my grooming business grew from 1 to 4 locations and in 2012 I began a successful grooming school.
In 2016, I returned to college and from 2016 to June 2021, I earned my bachelor in criminal justice, masters in criminology and my doctorate in management. My joy and reward in life has always been teaching new pet stylists. I am excited to be teaching the theory end to dog grooming and helping new stylists develop their knowledge.
