Meet the Team!

Owner/Groomer

Nykole has always had a tremendous love for all animals, especially dogs so after leaving the corporate life behind in 2015, she began her grooming career under the instruction of a certified pet groomer and former instructor of Texas Allbreed Grooming School. She then trained under a certified show groomer to improve her skills to compete in shows. She still continues to further her grooming education by regularly attending educational seminars and classes throughout the country keeping up with all the latest styles, projects, health and handling techniques. Nykole and her husband are owned by 2 Standard Poodles, 2 Brussels Griffons, and 1 Toy Poodle (who thinks he runs the salon). Her passion for grooming and her love of animals shows in everything she does. 

Manager/Groomer

Corey went to grooming school in 2007 with a love for animals. There she immediately fell in love with the idea of forming lasting relationships with both pets and pet parents. Thirteen years later and that love and passion for animals is still there. Corey may be a familiar face to some of our former Nosey Dog customers as she was a groomer at The Nosey Dog since 2012. She has one rescued pup named Riley, a beagle/pointer mix and a loving husband named Bryan and a beautiful daughter named Virginia.

Receptionist

Kiara attended an agricultural and technical high school in Massachusetts where she learned the in's and out's of being a veterinarian technician, working with animals of all sizes; livestock, rodents, birds, reptiles and of course dogs. It was there she realized a career in veterinary medicine wasn't the kind of career she was after. She became a bather for 3 years at an upscale grooming salon in New England where she learned so much about different grooming practices. Kiara's pursuit for the career of her dreams brought her to Texas where she is continuing her education in wildlife biology and photography. Kiara enjoys loving on your pups in between phone calls and booking appointments . She has a terrier mix named Pancho. He only gets a little jealous when she comes home smelling like every pup she has snuggled at work that day!

Social Media and Marketing Specialist 

Meet Percy! He is a 4 year old Toy Poodle and coincidentally the poster boy for HipPups! He has spent his entire life in a grooming salon and is experienced in customer service and client relations. Along with being a well seasoned treat connoisseur, he enjoys greeting everyone that stops by whether it's a pup getting pampered or a person looking for their pups next favorite treat (Percy recommends ALL of the treats and has personally tried them all) he enjoys all of the attention he gets when sporting the latest fashion looks in creative grooming. Whether it's a fashionable, yet subtle jewel accent or feather extension. Or even as bold as a vibrant color transformation. Percy hopes to someday make it big as a pup influencer and trend setter.
