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.

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.
